imagine that if they are honest,
pay their debts and do not speak
disparagingly of other people
they are among the mainstays of
the town. But such is not always
the case. Honesty and a careful

that. 1t needs citizens who will
get out of their way to do some-
thing for the town, who will
labor to better local conditions,
who will 60 their length to bring
new industries and new people
to our community. Such people
rs these are in reality the main
stays of a town. And we need
q few more mainstays.
