WEST VIRGINIANISM
By Dwight II. Teter
WHAT EALUETH \ MANS AMERICANISN If HE
HONORETH NOT HIS OWN STATE?

There has been much discussion re-
Gently regarding the methods and
means for giving West Virginia wide
publicity over the country. This pub
Hcity would deal with facts and fig
ures tending to show that West Fir'
Sinia is not as black as she has been
painted. II would also show some
thing ~ her natural wealth and the
prediction for her successful future
This Is well and good and IS laudable
undertaking.
Before a nationwide publicity cam
paicn is undertaken. however. it would
seem that a statewide publicity cam
paign. carried on solely for the en-
liehtenment Of West Yirginians them.
selves. would not be amlss at this time.
West Yirginians. as a whole. do rot
know enough about their state 70 talk
Of IL intelligently or to realize just
what the future OF West Virginia
means to them personally.
BY publicity campaign for the en-
ligtenment OF West Yirginians Il Is
not meant 10 print booklets or resort
10 any OF the other common means OF
advertising. There is medium OF ad'
vertising in West Virginia which can
not be surpassed and which should
now be made available.
Nearly every city and town In the
state has some civic organization. a
Rotary Club. Kiwanian Club. Lions
Club. Commercial Club. etc. These
civic bodies are. first Of all. organized
for the promotion OF good fellowship
and the betterment OF the community.
They meet. generally. once a week.
AT these meetings five minutes at least
The Wheeling intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1903-1961, 1922-06-14

should be set aside for discussion OF
West Virginia. No meeting should
pass without one OF the members
talking for few minutes on some spe-
ciEic thing about West Virginia. some
thing which would give an angle TO
the greatness OF the state and which
would be more or les OF an educational
nature. This program should not only
be carried out in the civic organiza.
tons. but also in the churches, lodges,
schools, and on every occasion when
there is public gathering. Somebody
should be designated beforehand TO
talk for few minutes on the state
which we all love, which we all honor
and for which We all have justified
pride.
The people Of West Virginia them
selves are the best advertisers Of their
state. They cannot advertise West
Virginia without having detailed
knowledge OF II at their finger tips.
Let the people OF West Virginia give
themselves course OF education on
West Virginia. II would be remark
ably enlightening and beneficial.

REPORT WHEELING PARK
POOL CLOSED, FALSE

For some reason some persons have

that the swimming pool a: Wheeling
park has been closed for the season BY
tho authorities. Whether or not this
was done with malicious intent or not.
the park management does not know.
but Il Is far from the truth and the
report Is absolutely without foundation.
The report may have grown from the
fact chat the city manager put the ban
on Sunday dancing At the park and some
NAV have though. the whole place was
closed IN. However. the big resort Is
moving along just the same with every
thing in operation except the dance
floor on sunday. The pool has been I'M
proved this year and bathing here IS
more deli:htsul than ever. II Is cleaned
three times weekly and hllei with NJ
tered water which runs IN and ont or
the pool all the time. keeping the water
fresh and clean.
This pool - one OF ~" most popular
Races IN tho city and !ts growing poHu-
