FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 70. 1924.
PULLIkG lOLtTHER COUNTS,

In the wake of the splendid
annual meeting of the Woodstock
c lanber of Commerce on Feb
ruary ~. there has come wave
of optimism whose ripples have
{ uclled the entire Valley.
Out of town newspapers have
carried columns relating to the
meeting, and Woodstock has been
placed in the forefront OF the
forward movement toward the
goal of a greater town.
Flushed with the inspiring
messages brought to the meet
ing by officers of the Shenandoa b
Valley Incorporated. and realiz-
ing the portenteousness of the
publicity campaign OF that OF
ganiza ton, Woodstock citizens
are awake, or awakening, to the
tact that the golden opportunity
for industrial aud material
growth is at hand.
In the extemporaneous spee6 he
delivered on Friday night. in the
open forum, Woodstock people
were enjoined TO submerge ami
mosities aud work for advance
meut, subordinate personalities
to progressiveness and forget in
dividual jealousies in striving for
the good of all. Dissension and
development are not attuned, aud
one cannot combine selfishness
and success in the towns awake
ming.
These ideas were particularly
stressed by Jason J. Sperry, one
of the speakers, and one who
because of sentiment and for
substantial reasons is Actuated
by an interest in Woodstock
welfare. Mr.. Sperrv voiced the
hope of all progressive citizens
of Woodstock when ne said
among other pertinent things,
Let as get together-stop oui
quarreling with each other, for
get our disl;kes and pull as one
man for the best interests Of tile
town, and let US realize that in
order to get anywhere we must
have water and plenty of it,"
Mr. Sperry has put into few
words just that wholesome arl-
vice which, if considered, viii
bring to the town the things it
most needs to build it up He,
like all of us. appreciates the
fact that towns, like houses.
must fall when divided, aud that
nothing can or will be accomp isl-
ed in Woodstock. until the COM
:nnnity acts as a unit in throw
ing off the load of inertia which
has. to some extent. weighted it
down and prevented its advance
ment.
Study the Towns problems
and its needs. Criticize all eff
forts to build it up, but let yonr
criticism be constructive, and let
it be based on facts and formed
10 Intelligence. Do not allow your
Judgment TO be warped by pref
udice, nor permit your zeal to be
founded on fallacies. Just take a
common seuse view of situations
as they arise and, forgetting the
ego. determine TO act in the in
terests of all. and Woodstock
will be bigger. better town,
and. Woodstock will have what it
needs most, and must have, ifit
is to prosper. a bountiful sup
ply Of water.

night when | received a. telephone
