PROFIT

One step won't take you very far.
you've got to keep on walking;
One word won't tell folks who you
are. you've got to keep on talking.
One inch wont make you very tall,
you've got to keep OF growing;
One little ad won't co 1t. you've
got to keep them going.

fiuence in raising Individual stand
ards of efficiency and enterprise.
One good example of a village that
was not well planned originally, but
that now has been transformed into
an extremely pleasing place is Wes-
ton, Mass. Weston formerly had a
large swamp area in its center. This
has been drained, graded, seeded to
grass and planted to pine, fir and
chestnut trees. A new town hall and
fire station have been built opposite
the entrance to the common. Public
buildings are Qow centrally grouped.
Old, unsightly structures have been
torn down. The improvements were
planned by landscape architect 1t
took 25 years to put the plan through,
but every one in Weston now believes
that the enterprise was worth the
time and money 1t cost.
A village that was started with a
good plan, and has realized it, is Pat
terson, Calf. This village and a COL
ony of irrigated farms, occupying
$4,000 acres, were planned in 1910,
Roads leading to the village were
strategically located and planted with
trees and shrubs. The village itself
has eight streets radiating from a
civic center, where the public build
ings are located. In the last four
years the residents of the village
have built a public library, a commu-
nifty clubhouse, a concrete swimming
pool and a grammer school. and have
provided an automobile camp park.
A town dump at Lewisburg, Pa, has
become a scenic asset, through the
activities Of women, who formed a

ment propaganda, and accumulate d
funds for an improvement program.
