The Art of Thinking and Other Arts
As we sat on the porch admiring
the purplish haze hanging over Back
bone mountain and wondering what
we could put in the space devoted to
the Park that would perhaps be in
teresting to few, and finding our
thoughts barren, we picked up little
volume entitled "The Art of Think
ing" by Ernest Demnet, French
5be. The theme is as fascinating as
he manner in which it is presented.
When we had read a portion the
thought mot new or startling) came
| to us that there is an art in every
worthwhile thing we do, great or
small.
The Art of Printing, whether of
books or newspapers, has benefited
countless millions. Civilization would
not have reached its present high
state had it not been for the books
and public press. Connected with it is
the Art of Makeup. We are pleased
when the news is properly presented.
We stand entranced before the
works of Aria picture, sculptured
figure, beautifully designed home or
decorated room. We are lost in adj
miration and sometimes envy the skill
of the artist.
There is the Art of Cooking. The
chef who can prepare and artistically
serve an attractive and appetizing
dinner, commands our admiration. He
is an artist in his line.
Then there is the Art of Merchan-
dising and the Art Of Advertising and
so on almost indefinitely.
None of these arts, however, eX-
cept perhaps the Art of Printing,
touches the great mass of people. But
there is another Art that does, and
that is the Art of Community Build
ing.
The man or set of men who can
/ arouse anu ulIeCl puOllS SPlllC elietU
will not be satisfied until all branches
of public service and all factions OF
civic life are unified and enlisted I'M
! der the motto: "All for one and one
for all" will live in the hearts of fu
ture generations.
Who will so infame public spirit to
the point where it is not satisfied
with anything less than the best for
the town or community, to the point
where the differences Of all sects and
creeds will be forgotten when the pub
lie good is at stake; to the point
publicans, no Methodists, Baptists,
| Catholics, Presbyterians or agnostlcs,
| but all citizens of the town and COM
munity-that man, or set OF men, that
woman, or set of women, will erect
monument of love, affection and ser
vice to which his children's children
will point with pride.
The Art of Community Building
should be developed.
Celebrated Her Natal Day
Mrs. Mary A. Busselle quietly cele-
brated her birthday last Saturday
surrounded by her family and few
( friends.
We could not help but recall the
sentiment that ''to so live the pass
ing years that contentment and seren-
ity will be life's portion, is a gift of
the gods"
Facing the sunset of life, firmly
fixed in the faith that there is
Divinity that shapes our ends, rough
hew them as we may" Mrs. Busselle
has that happy faculty from the asso-
citation of her many friends and with
in her family circle.
