The Progressive Town

No town is to be considered
progressive unless it is equipped
with some live organization of
business men. But it is not
enough to get together and have
a jolly dinner and appoint COM
mittees that never do anything.
Yet the mere getting togeth-
er is a beginning of progressive
ness. When business men get
better acquainted, begin to rea-
lie that their competitors are
good fellows, that all have their
larger interests in common and
should work together, the first
step in a towns advance move
ment has been taken.
For a bushes reorganization to
accomplish large results, there
must be a group of men who will
give considerable time to public
promotion work. They will not
be losers by this public spirit.
They share the gainsthat come
to everyone in the community
Andthey gain their own person
al compensation. They make valu-
able acquaintance and friends
they have useful experience in
promotion work, they demon.
strate their organized ability
They are in every way better fit.
ted for greater success.
Notwithstanding, it is hard in
these busy days to find men thai
will devote time to projects OF
town up building. Most people are
inclined to settle back, and let {
few men do all the work. Thes,

few get tired of being regarded
as cart horses for pulling the

The leaders in such a move
ment should have their time free
for the big constructive side Of
the work, for planning, organic
ing and persuasion. They should
not be expected to be errand boys
or do routine work that any
clerk could perform. They should
have such good backing of
financial and volunteer aid, that
the work Of a community pro-
|gress movement will be shared by
a large number. 1t need not be q
heavy burden on any one man or

be the proper solution. Several of these
mothers have already applied for 1t. Con-
ditions point to the fact that very stiff
fight must he put up to keep the home to-
gether. In some cases things have gone
80 far that temporary placement may be
necessary. This organization, however
would do all in it's power to keep the home
inviolate. with almost no exceptions there
are cases not known to any agency
brought on by intemperance. il-hcalth
bad environment etc.
The report Of Miss Pcase Is very con-
scrvative as the hurried survey could not
unearth all OF the problems which exist.
1t proved clearly to those who heard It the
need of some organization which could
step in and give the help needed without
restrictions. This State has given gem
erously to the children Of Armenia, Syria
and other countries but has done little
to help out some of the distress within its
own boundaries.
