Never before has Scion had such a
treat as was given last week by the
Radcliffe Chautauqua. There could
be no more convincing evidence of the
inspiration and merit it created when
you take in consideration the crowds
it drew and that the tickets more than
paid for the Chautauqua the first
night. The people were. delighted
with the speakers and the new thots
Of inspiring men to new efforts and
ideals. Their policy for Community
building was very nice. Now that
the thots and ideals are fresh in our
minds let us be up and doing. Prof.
Elmer Smith said in his lecture III
there is thing we want and thing
we don't want in our community get
right after it, publish it and never stop
till 1t Is accomplished. Now Scion
people let's get after the thing we
don't want and the thing we want.
This village is far too pretty to have
1t marred by that old tumbled down
fire trap Of barn in back of the drug
store, also the vacant house in front
on the street windows out and doors
unfastened so tramps can lodge in Ii
any night and set fire to it, Where
would our little village be if such
thing happened? Now citizens of
Scion you put through the Chautauqua
with grand success. Now see il you
| can put through this. The thing we
want is the old barn removed and that
old barn and open vacant house Is
what we don't want. If you can COM
pete with this as successfully as you
did the Chautauqua then we'll talk
water system. Who will be the next
to write an article on this barn sub
ject. We will look for one in the
next issue.
