The heartiest laugh in Canon City
is that possessed by Mrs. Frank p.
Smith. 1t is the spontaneous outburst
of a happy heart which sees good in
everyone. 1t lisa blessing to have a
laugh like that, laugh that is gen
uine and sincere and which males
everyone who hears it happy. Few
Of us possess it Most of us have a
half-developed cackle that would
freeze an iceberg.
Mrs. Smiths laugh is but the out
ward manifestation of good-natured
disposition. None who is not happy
can laugh like that The reason Mrs.
Smith is happy is because she does
her duty by her family and by her
community. state and nation and by
her God.
As a result. Mts Smith is popular
with all who know her. and all who
get acquainted become her friends i'm
mediately. That is a quality that is
worth more than all the money that it
cost to stage the world war 1t is
something you can not buy. There
are those who have tried and have
failed utterly
her church circle. and with the d. A.
R., and justly So
When you hear the remark. @She IS
certainly a capable woman" you can
put it down in your little think reser-
voir that the woman has been. paid
one of the highest OF compliments.
BY it is meant that she is not a cling
ing vine; that she has a brain of her
own. that she knows how to use it,
that she is energetic and a doer of
worthwhile things
The writer has heard that remark
several times about Miss MiIlicent
Stacy. and 1t fits exactly. Miss
Stacy is an excellent school teacher.
She is a talented musician She
can direct play. She knows how to
nurse She is willing and ready at
all times to give the best that is in
her for the good of the community, for
the benefit of her friends and for the
help or the afflicted.
Her bravery and worth was ampIv
demonstrated during the influenza
epidemic of the past winter when she
vou UNFAIRLY went forth unafraid to do
what she could to alleviate suffering
and aid the helpless. Her joy and
happiness in life is measured by the
amount of good she can do others. She
thinks OF herself last and then il is
only fieeting thought.
1t goes without saying that she is
popular.
Undoubtedly the most accommodate
ing speaker in Fremont county is
H. NcLain- He is also by far the best
extempore ta'ker we have among us.
There isn't any occasion when Mac
is found mapping or when he is NOT
ready and willing ito help out in a
pinch
This was amply proved during the
war when he was called upon time and
again TO make a necessary speech
with hardly a moments chance to
make any preparation. He possesses
an excellent vocabulary. Knows what
TO say and when to say it. and has the
faculty of putting the punch into it.
The writer has heard only one crit
icism OF his speaking. and that is that
he sometimes talks too long. but one
must remember that Mac is a lawyer
and has been trained to talk every
phase OF a subject for all it is worth.
and that is habit that is hard to get
away from Anyway Macs long talks
invariably produce the. desired results,
so what's the differenee? :,
A community is fortunate in having
man who can handle public meet
ing as well as Mac does. and who can
talk at the drop of the hat like Mac
can. A man like that is indispensable
in the public affairs of every town. but
not every town possesses one as good
as Mac -
