BUILDING COMMUNITY SPIRIT

The happiest thought that has come
10 Ardmore and Carter county has
been the community meeting idea.
For number of months Ardmore has
been holding community meetings
These meetings are attended by many
Of the thinking men of the city, men
who are devoted to the public well
fare, men who are working unself-
ishly for better living conditions for
the entire public and those who do
not attend these meetings will share
in the beneficent results.
Community meetings have now been
started in the rural districts Men
and women who are inspired TO work
for building up better schools and
better roads and for a better citizen
zenship are holding meetings 10 be-
come better acquainted with one an
other to exchange ideas on commu-
nifty service and to learn how to do
bigger and better things for the peo-
Pile
A big manufacturing plant that was
once threatened with financial ruin
turned its attention to the develop
ment Of its men. 1t organized. so TO
speak, community meetings. Night
schools were established, men were
built up intellectually, they were in
terested in the success of the com
pany and after a period OF time
spent in development work a better
article was manufactured and the
company today is one Of the noted
successes in the United States.
Just so with cities and commune
ties. If the people are growing in
/ tellectually, if they are becoming
more interested in what they have
they will find way TO use their re-
sources and when they have found a
way 10 use what they have, business
success will follow and good homes
and we'll cultivated farms follow busi-
ness success. Every useful institu-
tion of the county such as schools
and churches and roads and homes
will prosper as a result Of better
community spirit.

James Barron, secretary OF the Ard
more Chamber Of Commerce, is to be
congratulated on the success Of his
latest effort in his work as build
err namely the Chamber OF Com
merce News
Full Of items concerning matters
important in civic affairs, some seri.
Gus, others just chuck full of humor,
the News" represents non partisan,
clean and full of helpful! suggestions,
pamphlet. 1t presents in a cheerful
manner the most important news Of
things that have and will HAPPEN in
Ardmore.
In the first issue OF volume l.
some of the things discussed are,
Water! Water" Our New Rooms"
Program for Winter Work" which
includes the subjects Industrial De-
velopment." and city Government"
"Ardmorc as a Rubber Center" Arm
istice Day." Hotel Ardmore," DO
We Need Good Streets?," Bureau of
Mines etc, etc.
An item entitled, Battle by Whistle"
reads as follows: When the fire whis-
tie sounds many citizens rush home
for bath as they are sure the water
pressure will be on until the fire
is checked" Sounds like a $25OOO
remark?)
Olin Wolverton is quoted in the
News as the author of the state
ment that "the four sweetest words in
the English language are, Enclosed
please find check"
In an article entitled, Donkey
and Elephant" Mr.. Barron states
"The Democrats and Republicans have
both taken advantage of our as
sembly room for a gathering of the
clan,' and much oratory was spilled
on both sides.
The Republicans We're very sure n
vote against the league of nations
meant elimination Of the boil Weevil
and after Tom Champion got
through describing a Republican Mrs.
Morgan had to send her walters home
in q closed cab because they We're
afraid they might meet one"
Relative to the scarcity of houses
Secretary Barron writes that one citi-
zen OF Ardmore remarked that he
might find 1t necessary to put a
door bell in his closed car and live
in it during the winter"
In speaking OF do We Need Good
Streets?" Mr. Barron has written
There are several plans on foot
for the organization OF paving com
panies in Ardmore We need the pave.
ment al will admit, and We believe
the property owners are willing to
pay a fair price for. work of this
kind. A good local company would
have practically al! of the work at
its command and we can assure the
right kind Of an organization of the
support of the Chamber of Com
merce."
A motto suggested by the secretary
is as follows: II will not criticize or
condemn the Ardmore Chamber OF
Commerce for failure 10 get results
unless |, myself, have personally
given time, thought and effort TO at
tain the results"
Again We congratulate the broad.
minded secretary OF the Ardmore
Chamber of Commerce and eagerly
await the next issue of the News
