Rockingham post-dispatch., 1922-10-19


I go 'one. Il night thinking On the
way. Tint you have done good
! day S work: done well; little bet
iet than you ever did before and
better than anyone else could have
dona ii=-and then on top Of that TO
get good nights rest and wake up
IN the morning with an eaeemess
to 81 ON the job again and see II
you can DO even. little better to.
| day than you did the day before.
Oh, Low pity the man who con
siders his work & drudge and con-
si6efs payday and Saturday after
noon the only day worth while
Oar people 40 not appreciate
large employers Of labor as they
should. These men are real bene-
factors A red-blooded, true man,
does not want anything liven to
him ne wants a chance to work
and fair pay for what he does.
Large employers OF labor distribute
more happiness than we realize.
Ask any man who was recently on
strike and he win tell you how
difficult it is to loaf and be happy.
we should rebuild our comun-
ity spirit. There are many ways in
which we can help. Our town
council is doing lots of construction
work and we are indulging in lots
of destructive criticism. Some of
them are beginning to feel like they
have q thankless job. Let us hack
/ them lp with constructive criticism.
Our policemen receive almost no
co-ope alton. Let us help them by
obeying the speed laws, the park
/ ing laws and other laws that we are
continually breaking.
Let us discard that selfish per
sonal gain policy and deliver our
Influence to the policy that will
bring the most good to the com
munity. We must improve our
schools more; we must improve our
! church property. Lot us cultivate
that neighborly feeling, which
makes one feel SO much better and
\ the world look so much brighter
Let us abandon that policy Of ban
ishing the lawless and try to live
so that they can not be lawless.
Let us uphold the arm of our solici-
! tor and not convict him before he
i has been heard. May we all real
ize what 4 mistake it is to think
I at the rate Of 24S.5 miles an hour.
ourselves better than the other fell
low.
May we keep our school ath-
letics pure and not Net our desire
TO win smother our desire to be
/ honest. May we enjoy the game
! but not let our excitement interfere
with giving our opponent square
deal and the game if we can not
win it fairly and as gentlemen
i should.
i Screw up our courage and deter
mine that we will fight vice and the
4 customs that have not yet become
tLviees but have tendency that
way. Fight them forever and day
or until they are completely ban
ished from o,ir community. Pray
that the thoughtless age will be
'lmade shorter. Try to demolish that
4 idea that the boy is all right; he can
! get along but the girl must be pro-
| tected. There is no protection for
| the girl unless the boys are made
n tclean. Shame on town that will
\ accept q man who has run away
with another mans wife and will
'Inot accept the wife. Where is our
community spirit when we will not
\ act for the common good.
4 And now with Francis Kimball,
| let us all say "a sacred burden in
4 this life We bear. Look on it, lift
lit, bear it solemnly. Stand up and
4 walk beneath it steadfastly; fail not
4 for sorrow, falter not for sin; but
lOnward, upward till the goal We
i win.
Let us remember that happiness
is the reward Of right living, right
! thinking, right acting and that
\ these then can not be right without
work and our community will bene-
fit whether we will or no.
