COMMON SENSE CONSERVATISM

yE New Years greetings from former Mayor Chapde
lame 1927 Mayor Charles A. Richard 1928 evidence
that conservatism for which both outstanding opponents
Neither past public the present chief executive
unfounded exaggeraon bolster the hope and
courage citizens of Putnam While both Of these leading
citizens boosters and opmss neither beeVes IN oeseg
when viewing local conditions
Says Mayor Chapdelaine the OF his retirement;
Enthusiastically the year has great
we expect rapid strides toward the peak of prosperity Prog
ress will be slow gained the result of work.
Says MayorElec Richard the of his becoming the
chief executive of the city:
During the year 1927 Putnam has not made phenomenal
strides held its and its situation
of other communities in this section 1t not to be
expected considerable business boom will strike Putnam
year but IL is reasonable to hope that work aud
cooperation the Of the citizens make il year Of
progress and happiness"
Here are two statements present outlook for
city that sound reliable for their conservatvenes
Both looked conditions squarey the and
told their fellow citizens just what the face registers
Indicating what mey expect during 1928 Had these two
greetings evidenced thai exaggerated optimism that often in
fuence public in qakng statements to be read by their
fellow and constituents they would not have been worthy
of passing But here have what every
thinking this city knows be the truth the hari cold
facts like them not
progressed TO any great degree during the
past twelve months but Mayor Richard ut has held
Its and its situation than that Of other communi
ties this section This indeed something be thankful
for and something engender hope for the future These
two gentlemen in the public eye well realize that Putnam like
the rest Of New England depends its textile industries and
that the textile industry has been experiencing period of
adjustment They we'll know that only realize its saliva
ton by hard work and by slow degrees Their greetings should
not only give citizens enter the
with brave hearts but should neucae the minds of all OF us
determination to work and 10 work hard the only way by
which in any business venture be attained
The statements in these greetings suggesting that Putnam
has not taken long strides ahead during the past borne
out by statistical printed in another part of this issue
There is outstanding feature this report that gives US
much and that the increase savings bank
accounts of 100000 Although the amount in dis
Rgrsed the workers city has decreased s substantial
savings increase This denotes important factor IN
she family be it private family municipal
family factor is thrift The increased savings de
creased emphasizes that citizens
tonay thrifty This coupled with work which both the re
firing mayor present earnestly will do
more to the prosperity of Putnam than all of the balla
hoo and false exaggeration that be written.
