ing the furnishing of material for a
residence for the sexton, was left
to the following committee: LOUIS

Both the walls and residence
represent an expenditure of nearly
$500. The walls will be about

ravine which separates the Gene

will be cindered, as it has been in
the past but during heavy rains it
is washed away.

Tells OF PATH
TO PROSPERITY
Need Integrity, Vision, Industry
and Cooperation, Says
Fitzgerald.

"Betterment of prosperity in this
and any community depends upon
the presence in the community of
four components," said W. F. Fitz-
gerald, Chicago, civil engineer, u
speaking at the weekly meeting OF
the kiwanis club this noon at the
Y. NJ. c. A.
1.-THE four factors which must be
present in your business to make
it prosper" he continued, ARE in
tegrity, vision, industry and coop
Grafton"
Without integrity, Mr.. Fitzgerald
pointed out, on the parts of all per-
sons engaged in the business or in
the community's business, there
will not be a mutual confidence be-
tween buyers and sellers that pro-
notes business to a prosperous
pitch
Bushes can never go forward
without its participants having the
quality known as vision" he said.
They must build up their affairs
with an idea of those affairs being
furthered by successors in the bus
mess.
"Industry-work - the quality
which has made farmers and min
sisters sons achieve most of
the greater places in American his
tory because they knew toll from
their earliest years-and the spirit
of cooperation are essentials with
out which prosperity cannot be at
tanned.
"The key to the situation" he
said, lis contained in the idea, do
your best with what you have
where you are. because that axiom
implies the presence of all four
components of prosperity" he con-
cluded.
