COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION

1ty Club has started on the right
road and from the looks of things is
going ahead and we are at last 60
ing to have really and truly long
needed organization. We have wait.
ed many years for the time to come
when the business men of this pros.
prous community would wake up to
the fact that they could not exist
without working together and have
business organization of some sort
We have prepared few sugges-
tions which we know to be true and
which we know you will admit to be
true when you have read them and
we advise every man who is inter-
ested in the welfare of the commun-
ity to get behind the Community
Club movement and put it through
to success.
1. A community cannot and will
not do its peace work at home un-
less it has community organization.
2. A community organization pro-
notes civic patriotism and civic re-
.sponsibility.
& A community organization ab-
sorbes the valuable extra time and
extra energy of ambitious business
and professional men in work for the
welfare and advancement of the en-
tire community that under different
conditions were watered or thrown
away in "peanut" politics.
A. A community organization
reaching as it does all politics, all
sects, all business and professions is
the way and the only way to local
peace and cooperation.
5. A community organization Of
fers the one place where all the good
fellows Of all shades of opinions can
get together, get acquainted, .ex-
change ideas and experiences.
6. A community organization or
ganizes the community to handle the
>community's business chances as they
develop or are developed.
z. The community Club needs you
your influence and your money.
Back up the local club, lets show
the world that the people of Willis
ton are not asleep. Attend the COM
ing meeting and give the club, their
officers, your support.
THE TIME AND THE PRICE
On January 1st, the clocks of Will
lston were turned back one hour by
the instructions of-someone we
were never able to find out who, but
it has added another hour of dark
ness to our short winter afternoons
and requiring US to turn on the juice
in the middle of the afternoon so as
to get in our required hours Of labor.
On February 1st, we are to be
handed another jolt which combined
with the time change of January 1st,
is not going to work out right ac-
scording to our pocketbook. This is
the increase of 2 1-2c per killowatt
hour on our electric light bill.
From investigation we are sure
that the City Dads are fully justified
in the making Of this increase and
we are not laying the blame on their
heads, but what gets us is, why should
we turn our clock 50 as to add an
other hour of darkness to our day.
At the time the clocks were turned
back our weather bureau man wired
the officials at Washington in regard
to the new change, and to repeat
the exact words of the message re-
ceived by him from the National
Capitol, "No Change In Time" We
find that the majority of the people
are not in favor of this time change
and why should we make the change.
IT the railroad wants to run on the
new time let them, it will not cause
any trouble as far as the people of
Williston are concerned.
Here's another problem for the
people interested and the Commun-
ity Club to investigate and the
change made if possible.

We would say she is.
