The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1916-10-21
As The Editor Sees It

1t is an old saying that two heads
are better than one, and on the SAINT
principle two heads together are bet
ter than when they are facing in oppo-
site directions. 1t will pay us to keep
our heads together in Pleasantville,
for the good of the town and each in
dividual in the town.
When we are facing in opposite di-
rections and pulling apart we get no
where and accomplish nothing. The
result of our labor" is a cipher.
But not so when we get our heads
together. Not so when we act as a
community and not as individuals.
Not so when we all face a definite OBJ
iect and pull until we get there.
1t is good to keep our heads togeth-
er. We learn each others ideas and
ambitions and thoughts, and from
this knowledge springs the impetus
that brings success to any community.
Let's get our heads together in
Pleasantville, and keep them there.
X X
Some people talk much and do lit
tie. Others talk little and do much.
A few are betwixt and between and
never succeed in setting themselves
or the world afre.
There is, however, a happy medi-
UNI which will afford US the necessary
outlet for our thoughts and yet serve
the good of the community at large.
Don't be a clam, and don't be a big
noise. Talk when you feel like it, but
talk sense and talk to people who
have sense. When we do that we will
gradually bring to the surface the
good points in each other: we will
open up opportunities for the devel-
opment of the community, and will be
able to hit upon the means of pushing
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1916-10-21

Pleasantville along.
The mar who talks little but says
much when he does talk is often silent
when a little talk from him would ac-
complish wonders. On the other hand,
the big noise is known as a noise and
commands about as much attention
and remembrance as a passing gust
of wind.
Talk up, but speak gently and to
the point. You will be both heard
and needed.
Every person knows his own mind,
but it is not every n who knows
how to apply it. Many have positive
convictions on certain subjects, but
have not the power of will to assert
those convictions in the face of de-
termined opposition.
Every person has a mind of his
own, but each mind is susceptible to
influence from other minds, both
great and small. The babbles of the
fool will sink into the brain of the
man of intellect, and sooner or later
will have its effect in n way or an
other. The fool listens to the wise
man and Immediately imagines that
he is himself the fount of wisdom.
The man who walks the middle course
absorbs both the wisdom and the fool
ishness of the others.
X X
The fellow who goes through life
kicking at other people usually is pro-
PEELED into eternity by a kick from
the devil. Kicking don't pay either
the kicker or the fellow who is kicked.
The injustice of an unjust kick leaves
many a heartache behind which ran
kles and grows into bitterness which
lasts for months and years. At times
it leases only with the death of the
victim. But the victim of the kick is
not the only one who loses in the
game. The kicker makes a reputation
for himself with every kick that he
gives, and that reputation follows him
through life. When the day comes
that he needs the services of a friend
he often finds that he has kicked the
only people to whom it is possible for
him to turn. He loses because he has
kicked himself out of the confidence
of his fellow men. Don't kick.
\ X
Again we suggest that you speak a
good word for Pleasantville. If you
look around you can find plenty of
portunities for doing so, and the more
good things you say of the town the
more the people of the town will sa-
of you. The home booster may make
a few enemies among the chronic
kickers, but he will make hundreds of
friends among the solid people of the
community. Speak up and be heard.
