There is one organization in Yinita
that should have the unqualified sup
port, and be the pride of every citi-
zen, and that is the Civic Club. Civic
means pertaining to citizenship, and
more especially to citizenship Of a
city. In medieval times a civic crown
was awarded the soldier who saved
the life of q citizen in battle. The
civic crown was garland of oak
leaves and acorns. representing
strength and nutriment and was worn
with pride by those upon whom it was
bestowed. The Civic Club in Vinita
is band of ladies and gentlemen who
two or three years ago organized for
the purpose Of making Vinita a cleaner
city and a better place to live in. South
park at the beginning of the organiza-
ton was about as unsightly a weed
patch as could be found. Now it shows
the beginning of a beautiful rest place
with trees, fountains. walks. grass and
flowers and has made the South side
the most desirable residence portion
of yinita- The work of the Civic
cub has enhanced the value of prop
erty in vinita and has attracted peo-
pie from the outside who have come
here to reside permanently The Par
ker Plaza near the Auditorium shows
the touch of taste that bespeaks cul-
tue and good judgment on the part
OF the Civic Club. This club should
have the hearty support Of every cit
izen and be encouraged to greater eff
fort.
