NOMINATING PLAT
 IS NEEDED FOR CITY

One of the crying needs of Birming- ham is central incinerating plant for the disposal of garbage and refuse. ac- cording to Commissioner Henry F. Burruss The declaration was made as a result of complaints from Ensley about the municipal dumping ground in that vicinity.
 Commissioner Burruss stated that as soon as the city's finances would stand it he would like to see plant for the burning of all garbage. His idea is that the refuse could be converted into use. full by-products that would help pay the expenses of the plant.
 No action was taken by the commits sion in regard to the dumping ground at Ensley. While dumping grounds are unsightly and undesirable. it was held that the one at Ensley is not dangerous to the health of the community.

 I do feel however, that spirited bat tie is before us, and that we must enlist in it the support of all men and women who desire victory
 Definite campaign plans will be out lined within a few days, when Mrs. George Fort Milton of Chattanooga, pres ident of the Tennessee League of Women Voters, returns to the state from the democratic national convention and con- fer with Mrs. Catt and Mrs. John M.

The poll. which is nearly completed. indicates that we may ex- pect such support and that victory will be sure.'

For the Good of
 the Community
N7OULD it not be good thing if every w citizen of RirnoinUhara entered

A/OOLD It not De gOOQ tnlng IT every citizen of Birmingham entered into compact with himself to go through period of thirty days without complaint of uncomfortable conditions, but with firm determination to look about him and discover the silver lining of the passing clouds?
 Are we not gorged to the point of nau- sea with talk and thought of profteers and profteernig? Have we not realized certain smallness of spirit and meanness of soul issuing from the frequency and the multiplication of our plaints? How much good has come of it?
 Really, if the entire citizenship of this community should come down town to- morrow resolved that it would for while not see the things that are wrong but only those that are right, it is possible that there might be great joy in many hearts.
 Are we not tired of calling one another names? Have not most of our favorite epithets of scorn and hate and denuncia- tion come home to us? Have we not play
 
 calls the other liar and the other retorts with the self-same words?
 We talked ourselves hoarse over the cost of shoes and of clothing without re- ducing the price of either. We cooled off and ceased purchasing over and above our immediate wants. Shoes and clothes came down. Just as soon as we furnished up our own little mental domicile and re- habilitated our serenity of spirit, that which we sought in vain through anger and denunciation, came of it's own weight and motion.
 It is not that men should be supine and submit to wrongs None is called to do that. It is rather question of standing erect and meeting the general conditions that face all. It would seem strange in- deed, if nation that gave such an excel lent account of itself in>war, should suc- cumb to the minor worries incident to state of peace and reconstruction.
 Some of us yearn for return of the humdrum, the gray routine, even the monotony of ordinary days Many of us have lost the champagne appetite and would relish buttermilk and ham and cab bage.
 Notice how silent the returned soldier becomes when you ask him what he did over there It is too big a thing to talk about. He wishes to get as far from that physical and spiritual grandeur as possi- ble Not until he has grandchildren and the sublimity of It has been tempered by the passage of time will he again rehearse his life in France.
 We love our town. We cannot do it any good as long as we are going about deal ing out our common woes to our fellow He has the same troubles as we have. What he wants is someone to cheer him up; not companion on the mourner's bench.
 A little of the pioneers spirit. Things did not go smoothly with them, but there
