For the Good of
 the Community

WHAT is the matter with Birmingham? IS w anything wrong here?
 Birmingham people are frequently heard to remark that this or that is wrong, that Blrmlng- ham has not got certain things that other cities of less population and wealth have; that certain things here are not as good as in other less favored cities.
 If there is anything wrong with Birmingham, what is it? And why is it not remedied?
 What is wrong with Birmingham" was asked number of business men, leaders in civic and industrial activities.
 Lack of cooperation; poor housing; lack of police protection; poor amusement features; no playgrOunds or recreation places; lack Of CIVIC pride; indifference to welfare of the people, and numerous other answers covering almost the whole catalog of things essential to make peo- pie contented and happy.
 Perhaps one-half of the persons answering the question mentioned lack of cooperation as the greatest drawback to Birmingham.
 Cooperation, Webster defines as to act or operate jointly with another or others to con- cur in action, effort or effect, and gives as synonyms contribute, conduce, agree, combine, tend
 Has there been a lack of the cooperative spirit in Birmingham, and, if so, does this condi tion still exist?
 On this point one of the men interrogated, leader in his particular line of work, said yes, and explained:
 A movement is started by few men to bring about certain thing They work out plan of operations and submit 1t to few others called into consultation. Among the new men called in there are objectors They have no construc- tive plan, but cannot agree to the original prop osition They go out from the conference pro- claiming that the clique that originated the pro- ject are working for their own aggrandizement, for their own special benefit, and that if they had no ulterior motive they would not have undertaken the matter.
 Thus factions spring into existence and they cannot forget personalities long enough to work for the community good they are selfish and be- lieve that everybody else is. They are not will ing to work for the promotion of the community interest for fear some individuals will thereby benefit
 They are knockers and destroyers. What mat ters 1t if the city's interests suffer so long as they can prevent anyone else from deriving some benefits from proposed developments?>
 "Yes," emphasized this particular individual, ' and there were many others in agreement with him, there are men in Birmingham who would prefer to see the city stagnate and all the people suffer rather than see some of their neighbors profit. Petty jealousies have done more to re- tard the growth and improvement of Birming- ham than any other single agency
