n the event that results are secured | 2 any one of the contemplated pro- iects.
 The members have probably consid- | cred well what they are about and .lave thoroughly digested the possi- .llities of obtaining what they are liter, hence, 1t may be accepted that they are prepared to meet the diff- | .ulties and face the discouragements | which are ever a prominent feature of | all attempts to disturb the accustomed order of things. They undoubtedly recognize that they | nave cut out a stiff job for themselves | and it is therefore exceedingly refresh Ing to witness the enthusiasm with | which they are proceeding to their litticult task. For this display of spirit alone they are entitled to the support nd encouragement of the community l lJr 1t is indeed something rare to be- old a real live spirit disclosing itself mong the citizens of this section. l urther, it should be remembered that lne work they have undertaken is not
 themselves alone but Is for the eneht of the entire district and is a ,ublic service in every degree.
 In assuming task of such magnitude
 ley are giving ample evidence of l borough earnestness and whole l earted desire to do something for the
 enefit and advancement of the dis jet in which they reside. This whole .ome evidence of genuine public spirit IS particularly worthy of commenda
 in that it is something which, if t previously existed in this community, as heretofore betrayed but little evi- .ence of its presence. The people of
 .ome have at all times been notor-
 ..sly lacking in civic and communal
 ride and genuine public spirit.
 Ice the earliest days of the camp
 has at all times been more or less
 case of every man for himself ana
 le devil take the hindmost There ..as been no unanimity of purpose anu
 u the slightest evidence of desire
 , further the general welfare of the
 immunity.
 l throughout the many years of the amps existence we have continued . preserve an attitude of almost com iete indifference to anything which not directly benefit ourselves anu ave seldom shown the least inclina- on to put our shoulder to the wheel, ogardless of what measure looking U the public veal might be proposed l I short our general attitude mas been l nything but conducive to development | nd progress and we have been much ! Lore inclined to hinder than to as lst. In this We have been unutterably 1 slnsh and regrettably lacking in all l development in a situation such as ours |
 Now, however, if the evidences being 1 lrnished by the Chamber of Com .Ierce are fair ground for judgment, i we are changing our views little and | re coming to realize labor for the gen 1 Oral good is generally labor for ones i eff and that much may be accomplish | d in the way of personal benefits if | fe get in and pull on the other fellows | ow line once in a while. At least | ae Chamber of Commerce is showing | nat spirit in a marked degree and it | to be hoped that the rest of us will 1 5similate some of it for our own good. | Ve can do much for ourselves by pulling ! ogether for the general good of the 1 community and the district but, by | continuing in the same old attitude | f indifference to the general welfare | 5e will never accomplish anythinhg Jorth while.
 The Chamber of Commerce is show | Ing us an excellent example in tack | ing with energy and enthusiasm some
 cry difficult projects and 1t is to be
 ume of them at least both for the esultant benefit to the community and lso that we may come to learn the effect of unanimity and concentrated eff ort in our own behalf. Goodness knows Je need the lesson badly.
