Flashes
''Life is ShOrt-TelI the TRUTH
Good Times are Ahead
Be Ready for Them.

According to all signs good times
are due soon for a long stay. In gem
eral business has stabilized and rela-
tive value of products in proportion
to each other is being established.
Farm products are selling better and
better, and labor shortage and adj
vancing wages indicates manufacture
ilg activity. All these mean better
times.
Some people do not really want
growth in business, prefcrring to
slumber along in an easy-going way.
Others would rather look on the
black side and growl and groan about
how bad conditions are. But these
points of view will be swept aside by
the advancing optimism of the ma
jority. The majority has sung the
song Of fear and depression long
enough and is tired of it. The people
are thinking in terms Of prosperity
again.
Good times are ahead. Be ready for
them.

Sensible 0bjectiyes for
a Local Commercial Club.

Lancaster commercial clubs like
similar clubs in other cities have been
failure to date. Either we had no
particular object in view or the OBJ
jects were so visionary that they were
impossible of achievement.
A commercial club here with prac-
teal detectives would keep function
ing. At least it would keep on until
the various purposes were achieved
when it might die out with no great
harm. We suggest a few such prac-
tical detectives:
Unification Of the dual telephone
systems or the elimination OF one
system.
A move toward the establishment
of an equitable electric light and
power rate in the city.
A street paving program on a cost
of one-third to each abuttlng proper
ty owner and one third to the city.
A move toward the improvement OF
all trunk line roads leading to the
city of Lancaster.
Endorsement and cooperation with
the city government to obtain and re-
tain law and order.
A move to establish Wednesday
evening shopping with all retail
stores remaining open this night in
addition to Saturday night.
These detectives would help Ian
caster and are practical. The Herald
would be pleased to hear from others
having ideas toward civic improve
ment
