some of the communities near us Iave
avliled themselves of these Opportuni-
ties to get speakers to address them on
various subjects and why eOuldn 7 we
do the same?
Another COOL thing for this commun.
/ ity is the travelling library which "
may have privilege of using free Of
charge 1t was placed here last sum
mer and used until fall when it was
returned as there was no good place to
keep it while the church was being re-
built. 1t was well patrOnized, especial
ly by the young people and if new
supply could be brought out again be-
fore long it would be very much ap-
preciated by everyone.
One of the needs that has lately sug-
gested itself especially to the Ladies
Aid is the need of a policeman at some
of our public gatherings to see that
protection is given TO the property Of
the public gathered there. There is
also need ov every one conducting tnem
selves in IN orderly manner, showing
respect to the speakers by giving undi
vided atteni'- . every one may enjoy
what is said without being disturbed
by thOughtess persons. When we at
tend public meetings Of any kind with
no purpose whatever but to have a
good time, talking out loud, whispering
and laughing, we nld better stay at
home for we are not old enough to ap-
pear in public without our parents or
guardians to look after us.
Another vital need in this community
would be for us to realize that we are
individuals each one with ideas and
opinions of his Own and if we cannot
agree on all subjects, let us at least be
charitable and broadminded enough not
to condemn those who are not of the
same mind that we are, for it Is impOs-
sible for all of us to have our own way
in everything we would like to see or
have done We must have the right at
titude towards each other for where
there is no harmony there can be moth
ing accomplished in the line of neigh.
bOrhOOd improvement or anything else
that might be attempted. Then again,
we need the preacher here in this com
munity as they do in all other places
if not in this life we at least want
him to preach our funeral service. We
want to live in neighborhOod if pos.
sible where there is a church and re-
ligiOus influence for we know it's a
more desirable place to live than where
there is nothing of that kind. We want
the best preacher to be had with no
faults whatever, for we haven't any
faults of course, and we expect him to
live on our spare dimes and nickels and
then talk about his money being made
so easy We have the church need sup
piled acre much better 4
communities, and if it means anything
to us as community, let us uphold and
help sustain the work here in HAYES.
vile both financially and otherwise,
thereby making il blessin to each one.
Then let us strive to live above re.
prOach for every individual has an in
fluence either for good or bad which
is reflected upon the community as a
whole and we want Haycsville to have
the reputation of being an ideal neigh
bOrhood in every way. If each of us
would take this splendid creed, believe
it and live it, we might sooner at
tain the desired end we are striving
for in the betterment of our commun-
ity.
