A SUGGESTION FOR 1922.

1 Are you a Brunswick booster? Ii
J not, why not? Does your town grow
i as other towns are growing? # CT,
II why not? Do you realize that tie pros
! perity of each and every individual
within the corporate limits of our city
is of vital Importance to you indiyid-
| ually? Do you realize that every dol
lar accumulated within the Units of
your city whether by yourself or some
other individual or corporation, is ray
ing its proportional part of the taxes
necessary to make up the fund reGuir-
ed to meet the current expenses OF our
municipality? If You do not realize
that each and every prosperous in
| dustry within our city and its infu-
| ence Is helping you to bear the bur
/ den of civilization; educate your chill
! dren, provide good streets and side
walks, lights and every public and pri-
vate convenience that you enjoy. =
/ Every citizen in your municipality
should be interested in the welfare of
his town or city, and the prosperity
of every individual or corporation
within its limits or tributary terri
| tory. No man can live today by him
[ self alone and no town can prosper
that is standing still.
Have we the right spirit here in
Brunswick? Are we doing all that
We should for the growth and prosper
ity of our city? If we are net, why
not? Is it because we are unmindful
Of our duty and the allegiance we owe
to the community in which we live
AID from which we gain our liveli-
hood? If it is, let us wake up. Let us
resolve to put our city upon the map
and brand 1t with the insignia Of prog
ress. Let us put our shoulders to the
Wheea and lift as we have never lifted
before, until our chariot is in motion
and its gilded wheels are glistening
in the sunshine of prosperity and it's
flaming steeds are drawing it at a
pace that will cause all eyes to be
thrned to gaze in wonder at our
achievements, and all hearts to be fill
ed with a desire to come and abide
with us, that they too may enjoy the
exhiliration of living in community
that is progressive
How many cities of cur state have
passed. us in the last decade? Why
have they grown and prospered?
Look them over and you will find
there are many. But If you will look
to the record in these towns, you will
find there has been reason. Every
man was in love with the city. He
was loyal. He felt an interest in his
nelghbors and delighted in their pres
perity, and they in. his. He was not
locking around to find something to
tear in pieces, or to Desmirch some
ones character He had no desire to
cripple industry or commercialism
He realized that his prosperity de-
pended upon the prosperity of the city
as a whole. He did not knock. He
boosted He was active in securing
industries for his community, and his
ice and his influence were contribut-
cd to the general fund of the boosters.
II Brunswick has not grown and
r~cspered as many of our sister cities
have the trouble is entirely within.
We certainly have had the opportun-
isy and II we have neglected It the
burden Of guilt S upon us. If we have
ret given suf' 9ient encouragement 10
me industr we have. the guilt is
certainly ours, II any one among us
has desired to kill his neighbor's busi- |
ness, instead of helping the cause OF
general prosperity. he has been guilty |
OF crime: of an injury that affects
any part of our body polite affects the !
whcle'
There Is need Of a hearty pull-to-
ether spirit in Brunswick. We need |
to infuse the serum OF public spirit |
into our community aud 20 get out /
and work for the common interest. |
There is need of change in heart !
pmcng some of our citizens, who
might. under other conditions. be Of /
great benefit in building up our city |
and it's Industries. Let us all unite |
in Committee of the Whole" to
boom Brunswick in 1922.
There Is much TO do and we are so.
ag e. require united effort to do
re things we ought to do!
