DR.. GANFIELD
BEFORE KIWANIS
What Make Town Worth Liv-
ing In Is The Topic at Lunch
con on Wednesday at Warren

/
DR.. w. A. Garfield, president OF
Carroll College at Waukesha, gave
the address on Wednesday at the
regular luncheon of the Kiwanis club
at the Warren. what Makes Town
Worth Living In was the subject OF
the address and in part DR.. Garfield
said:
There are some towns not worth
living in over night. l am thinking
that town is made worth living in
for about the same reasons that a
girl is made worth loving You aud
cherish somewhat the same affec-
ton for the town we live in, as we
do for the home which we have help
ed to make.
There are some towns that you and
know which have never grown up
because the men of the community
have failed to develop the economic
opportunities. Young men and womp
en- have been obliged to leave home
hood, because of the lack. of econo-
mic opportunities in their home town.
Many family has remained or
Pauper Alley when they might have
moved to Prosperity Avenue, if they
had given little more diligent and
ernest attention, and made a little
wiser uce of their economic chances.
Many towns have remained in the
village class that might have become
cities had the men of the community
exercised the genius and ability with
which nature had endowed them, in
developing the resources which ma
ture furnished at hand.
| love that old sweetheart of mine
because she has two good lungs.
Every community in which you and
| live is equipped with institutions
which render much the same service
to the social body that the lungs do
to this physical body of mine. We may
regard the schools as the left lung
of the town and the churches the
right lung. These two should reach
out into the fresh new atmosphere
and bring and breathe into the COM
munity the very breath of new life.
Some folks that you and I know get
terribly interested in the left lung
and are Indifferent to the right one,
and the reverse is equally true. Every
town and every community should
earnestly strive to develop schools
and churches to the point of greatest
efficiency and of maximum service.
No town can be healthy, prosperous,
and happy if either one is left out.
love that old sweetheart of mine
because she has good red blood rush
ing from the heart to the finger tips
and back again. Wisconsin can be
Justly proud Of the great system OF
veins and arteries called highways,
with which we have covered the en-
tire state. The slogan, "You cannot
get lost in Wisconsin" is very true
indeed. A recent 300 mile taxi ride
across Indiana made me love Wis
consin. Every town and every state
adds to it's comfort, it's source OF
pride and its prosperity, in proper
ton as we develop roads leading from
the cities into the country and back
into the cities again.
The men who direct and develop
our great economic. resources render
splendid contribution to the state
and it is a matter of serious consid-
Grafton when any movement or policy
within the state prompts men Of this
type to move to other communities
and other states. Men who direct
great activities of education and re-
ligion are contributing every day and
in every way to make Wisconsin bet
ter and better The men who are
engaged in the great task of con-
structing and building our roads, are
making Wisconsin the pride Of her
own citizens and the joy of our
tourists.
| love that old sweetheart Of mine
because she has a good will. The
state to which we belong functions in
much the same manner, formulates
opinions, and determines judgments,
lust as you and | do. A double mind
ed man is unstable in all his ways.
Some men think slowly, some men do
not think at all; some think only
wicked or evil thoughts. All this is
eyually true of some towns and some
states. In a democracy there is
constant challenge to the citizens to
exercise great caution and real care
in the selection of those members to
