sY FORREST DAVIS.
Everybody is neighbor to ev-
erybody else in a village.
But when a village grows up
into an able-bodied city this is
changed.
Distance and other natural
divisions bar city folks from
neighboring with all other folks
in the same city.
Folks in West Richmond can't
neighbor with folks in Reeves
ton, nor can residents of Earl
ham Heights be neighborly with
residents of Riverdale.
In small communities when
death stalks or sickness in
trudes or destitution appears,
the neighbors drop in" and put
the helping hand to work.
Small Communities Neighbor.
Small communities are neighborly.
Federations of small communities,
which cities are, are not neighborly.
Thus, kind-hearted folks in cities are
forced to be neighborly by proxy.
They hire others to neighbor for them.
This is the reason for charitable and
social service societies. This Is the
excuse for the Social Service Bureau.
Over in Dayton they pride them
selves upon being neighborly city.
Here in Richmond we yield to no other
city first honors as cheerful, help.

Individuals are pretty much the
same in both cities. 49,
But the agencies they hire to neigh
Dor for them nearly are antipodal in
their spirit and their aims.
10 Constructive Organization.
Dayton's hired neighbor-the Dayton
Federation for Charity and Philan-
thropy-is constructive organism.
It recognizes the community's duty to
it's less fortunate members and seeks
to make better neighbors out Of them.
Richmond's hired neighbor-the
Social Service Bureau-is negative
organism. Seemingly 1t cares more
for the salvation of an American dol
lar from the greedy grasp of bad
neighbor than 1t does for the salvation
of the bad neighbor.
They are organized, rather, were or
ganized. for the identical purpose of
federating the city's social forces, re.
deeming lost energy and providing
systematic plan for community serv-
ice.
Here is a statement from literature
Of the Dayton Federation:
"Our aim 10 to make 4 better
and happier Dayton for those who
are afflIcted. We seek no praise,
we want no self.gIory. We only
hope, with your help, to lend a
helping hand to weary traveller
along Iife's highway, to make
happier city In which all Of US
may live"
This is signed by the federation
board. Doesn't it breathe the spirit
OF neighborliness?
Here's another one from the same
source:
I'VE claim that II you knew Of
children, poor and cold and hun
cry; Of old folks, feeble and sick
and helpless, you would not rest
until you had helped them, and
you would not hesitate about the
cost. We claim that everybody
in Dayton cares! II they did not,
they wouldn't be such good neigh
bcrs."
Isn't that shot through with the
essence of neighborliness?

the plan is described as follows: "The
