A CITIZENS DUTY.

A peculiar case is on record,
but it is not by any means an
exceptional case. After certain
school children were molested
or frightened by an Individual
of the moron type, certain of
the parents either hesitated OF
refused to assist the officials in
searching for the offender, fifth
the very weak excuse that their
children might have to go to
court to testify, and that "they
might catch an an innocent
man."
Such an attitude is little short
of perfidy. How can we expect
justice to carry and criminals
prosecuted when the people
themselves, whom the laws and
courts are designed to protect
fail or neglect to do their share
in the administration of ORDER
ly government? It is certainly
a week sister" who will try to
shirk his or her duty to get on
the witness stand and tell the
court and jury the fact asked
for. Justice can not be had with
out evidence, and evidence can
not be had without witnesses.
There is nothing to be feared
in court of law. The law itself
protects people against answer
ing discriminating questions. But
seemingly some people are eithe
to "soft" to go, or they do not
realize the Importance and nee
essity of their presence if right
is to prevail.

We should think to-day

We should think to-day of
the Clintwood of tomorrow
Many things must go into the
making of our tomorrow. Pres
tige and good will must be con-
stantly created and maintained
through a pure water supply,
clean streets, good schools, and
those many other essent-
ials necessary for physical COM
fort and moral welfare. If Clint
wood desires to expand it must
provide opportunities for those
who come on and assume active
charge of the city,s business
and social and civic life in later
years.
Cities have the ambition to
aspire to great heights when
they have built their foundation
with an understanding of the
main essentials which go into
the development of prestige and
good will. Without these attri-
butes, some cities may become
richer and greater, but they do
not and cannot become better
|Flintwood has the opportunity
Clintwood may never become
the city of half million people;
but Clintwood may become bet
ter and more favorably known
than any city twice or three
times it's size if new standards
are adopted and applied.

CLINTWO0D.-NOT A
PERFECT CITY


city. There is no perfect city.
Not until individuals come clos
or to approaching perfection,
not until men become imbued
with more of the spirit Of CO.
operation and less of the spirit
of individualism, not until mum
icipal government approaches
that degree of eciciecny long
since demanded by private
business, not until Nature
smiles upon one locality con-
tinually, not until climate and
atmosphere become constant
instead of variable, can any
city or town, community or
state, make a legimate claim
to perfection.
The keynote of the twentieth
century city promotion is to
combine, to a remarkable de-
gree, the things necessary to at
tract people, namely, good
place to do business and a fine
pl &c in which to live.
Somewhere in all America
IT, re must be some city or
tom that stands out preemin-
emily as the city of friendliness
and neighborliness--the city
that loves to give attention
to the little things that make
visitors and sojourners desire
to return to that city on every
possible occasion. Somewhere in
all America there is that city
or town on every possible oc-
casion. Somewhere in all Am
erica there is that city with
the spirit of thoughtfulness---
a city with the love of service
developed to as high a degree
as anpone anywhere might hope
for and expect.
In that city there must be ev-
ident on every hand quicken
ed public sentiment capable of
responding to the desires and
the wishes of those who are not
favored by fortune or birth to
such an extent that they feel
confident that they can dwell in
that city forever and a day. In
that city there must be many
organizations able and ready to
respond to the call of the city
duty whenever necessary. In
that city there mus be individ-
ualism and initiative sufficien-
thy strong enough to assert it.
self and yet, when the call for
city wide service presents itself
able and willing to turn to good
account it's individual assets for
the good of all.
While Clintwood has by no
means reached 'the perfect
state, I'VE believe that Clintwood
has the best opportunity to be-
come that city. Clintwood may
not become the the biggest city
in all America but it is surely
growing and it's virtuesare being
heralded throughout the nation
by those who happen to pass
this way.
Clintwood should become one
of the greatest motor tourist
gathering points, some day, in
all America, because the very
atmosphere of the town has de-
veloped personality for attrac-
ting tourists. We have a high
civic standard which constantly
sserts itself in the develop
ment of our commerce, our in
dustry, and the general welfare.
There are abundant natural and
man-made assets which are To-
Gated in our midst. There are
liabilities which we should cor
rect.
