the board Of directors yesteTday
morning. I'VE are going to keep
right on hustling, till everybody In
CIarksburg and suburbs who ought
to be in this big. new movement for
Clarksburg has signed up.
1--WE will have the benefit Of the
assistance of members of Town De
velopment Company's stan all this
week, and special committees made
up from those who worked so-unsel-
fshly and SO effectively last week
will be out from day to day all
week. we arc in hopes, however,
that no one will feel it necessary to
wait to be called upon. If any one
who failed to get in on last weeks
canvass will telephone to the board
of trade rooms. Secretary King
will gladly see that some one calls
upon him with an application blank
for his signature"
The splendid spirit shown by
Clarksburg men in behalf OF big
ger and better ClarksbuEg during
the last week was the subject of gem
eral comment wherever men got to-
gether yesterday in conversation
The influence OF this new get-to-
gether, -It-for-Clarksburg spirit
was felt even in the churches, and
was commented upon in some OF
them. At a mems afternoon service
in one OF the churches, two different
speakers referred to the Campaign.
and to the manner in which it had
drawn together men who had known
but little of each other in the past.
That's the community spirit. 1t
is baseG upon the brotherhood Of
man.
MEN can not get together and
work shoulder to shoulder for a
common cause, as they did last
week, without being the better for
it.
IA board of trade can not enlist
the wide spread support of all the
citizens, as the Clarksburg board OF
trade is now doing, without being
made stronger and better and more
effective, as we'll as more substan-

Clarksburg has learned the lesson
that countless communities have

community progress without COM
munity spirit and community unity
Clarksburg has set the pace Tor
all West Virginia communities, It
will have by the end of this week
the largest membership and the
greatest membership receipts of any
commercial organization in the
state,
With strong, active board of
trade, and its natural resources
and Industrial advantages. there is
no reason why Clarksburg may not

at the Waldo Soturady Afternoon

has accomplished wonders in build

AS secretary of recognized a6il-
Iity, Mr.. NayIor. Justice to himself
and his profession, had to say what
has come to be recognized fact
that no one map can make com
munity. No secretary and no board
of trade can do really effective work
without both the moral and the
financial support of all the people
of the community.
One of a number Of citizens, OF
Clarksburg could easily endow the
board of trade with all the funds
