In our original confidential line up,
the Community Club adopted the fol-

1t is the confidence and loyalty to
our Greed, which has furnished, the
foundation, and it is upon this foun-
dalton, that the many wonderful
things which are here in the city and
community as evidence of this conf
dence.
Originally in January 1923 youf
President had 20 things which might
be done. First we wanted a water
system; we wanted a city lighting
system and white way. Did we get
it? We wanted paving, did we get
it? Yes, we got this through the eff
forts of the Community Club. the
City Council and the Water and Light
Commission, which spent night after
night, had meetings and meetings,
that the citizens of our city will never
know of, to put these problems across
and work out the solution of them,
and the final installation.
The coming of the Swift & Co.
plant is just one and the beginning
of the substantial propositions which
are coming along this way. This
plant EMPLOYS. some fifty men and
the future plans for development will
find employment for more than a
hundred of men. This alone is worth
a years work of our Community Club.
Third. We wanted the alleys in
our business blocks. Did we get them?
Fourth. We got the telephone
poles placed in the alleys.
Fifth. The band boys wanted suit
able rooms for housing their instru-
ments. Did they get it? Ask them.
Sixth. The fire department want
ed better fire department. Did they
get it? Yes, it was through the di-
rect efforts of the Community Club
that the city council helped to make
them comfortable and more efficient.
Seventh. Last of all, our Commun-
ity Club wanted a suitable Commune
ity Home and real Community Club.
Did they get it? Well we got that
also. Thanks to the combined efforts
of every member of our club.
There are some things out of these
twenty-nine wants we did not get.
You know the old saying that eff a
thing is not worth asking for it is not
worth having" Well, there is anoth-I
er saying which goes along with this.
@'To him who has GETS" / mean by
this that there are LOT different bus
mess concerns doing business in our
city. I know there must be man in
this number who has the brains, pow
er, and willingness to make these lot
business men see way whereby they
may be taught to keep their people
and business at home, patronize home
industries and home made goods, ex-
tend trade territory and stimulate a
cooperation between different kinds
of trade. All of these we did not get. |
Our percentage is way below the |
100 per cent. Is this not true? as1e !
Why did we not get them?
Time and time again our business
men and citizens and club members
have listened to, wonderful doctrines!
