There Is great difference be-
tween town and community. We
can tell whether a man is think.
ing in terms Of the past or the
present BY whether he uses the
first or the second. The town il
! political unit marked out FOL
convenience in political admins.
tration and has no other justifi.
cation. The community is q bus.
mess and living unit.
The man who thinks in the
past regards the town as some
thing distinct in itself and indie
pendent Of surrounding terri.
tory. The man Of the present
knows that the town, socalled, il
only q part Of a larger produc.
tive unit. He realizes that sur.
rounding farm territory is to the
town what factories are to the
city, and that this whole produc.
ton unit or community must co.
operate to achieve desirable re.
suits.
But he goes further. He reali,
res that the farming or primary
production is the chief factor In
community growth and that the
town business is logically service
to this primary production. Pros
porous farming builds prosper,
GUS towns; towns built at the ex.
pense Of the farming do no,
build very much.
From current rumors the years
1919 and 1890 will be boomer.
for the village Of Askov. Sollic
support from the entire commun,
ity Is the one thing that viii
make this boom materialize.

creep up alongside, so that the
soldiers can be showered with
good things from the welfare
units, and all the time the
whistles and sirens are kept
going full blast.
On the pier only persons with
proper credentials are permitted
and this only at a certain time.
1t is one of our duties to see
that this order is properly
executed. You may think it an
easy one. But what would you
do, if you we're soldier, and an
aged mother comes up to you,
crying as if her heart would
break, and asks you for permits
sion to see her only son. You
ask her if she has a pass but
you find that she has none. You
tell her that you cannot grant
the permission. Oh! you cruel,
cruel man, have you no heart at
all? If you think you would like
the job, you are welcome to it,
for ! am willing to trade.
After the transport has been
tied up the soldiers are marched
off, lined up and counted to
make sure that no one is missing.
They then file by booths or
stands and are given light
lunches, chocolates and ciga-
rettes by the different welfare
units. From these places they
move right into the trains, a
certain number to each car. The
trains move out and empty ones
come in. The soldiers are all
taken to camp Devens. Here
they are "stirilized' and after a
short time. discharged and sent
home.

tomorrow the Winifredian is ex-
