THE CHAUTAUQUA BUILDS COM
 MUNITIES

The fundamental idea of the local Chautauqua is Community Service" The financial guarantee necessary to bring it here is shouldered by a num- Der of our public spirited citizens who have the interest of the whole com munity at heart. They are acting un- selfishly without hope of proft-safe in the consciousness of having served the community. They believe in the Chautauqua; in it's possibilities for good; in the inspiration of it's mes- sage; in the solid and uncompromis- ing front it presents against all the in- fuenees which defaee the community and renders practical common sense assistance to every good cause.
 Believing in it, the local Committee have guaranteed the finances neces- sary to bring it here and they ask only that the community will come to the | Oll lgt iCLl lSSuAlAGlll dliQ liiS liiI dlIOH. Recognizing that that which builds up the community as a whole helps every individual in that community, the guarantors have written d motto FOR THE COMMON GOOD' above the Ghautauqua and appealed to the pa triotism of every citizen of the com munity for hearty and generous mor- al and financial support
 Community development is one of the principal items in mind in build ing the Chautauqua program. Each community should develop so that it will be good place in which to live so good place in fact that the peo- pleinow living there and their children will wish to stay. Then the town will not be among those reported as los ing in population" when the next cen sus is taken. All this has to do with the commercial value of a Chautauqua to q town and does not take into ac- count its educational. religious, ethi- cal and cultural value which com- prise it's greatest benefit to the Con- munity.
