!; Small men with small purposes do
not help to make a town lively and pro.
gressive. The man who never contrib
: utes to public enterprise or voluntarily
assists in supporting any of the public
: enterprises is not worth coaxing to re-
main in town. and should he decide to
} move out it is always matter of con
, graduation. It's units and not mere
clphers that counts for some thing. "Be
a unit"
