ture of its equipment is reflected the progressive spirit
of the community it represents. New uniforms are
needed. Imagine having concert band without uni
forms. You could just well try picture army
without them. Support the band boys when they put
their indoor concerts Another much needed equip
for the band is she'll Although chances for its
construction may not be immediate the various civic
organizations should give it thought for future
development.
Municipal Air Port-Does Redwood Falls desire to
remain backward entirely out of the running, as it
were in this respect? It is not too early to begin
planning for development of air port Railroad
transportation facilities are to convenient as far
Redwood Falls is concerned Perhaps is probable
that an airline will be established in this direction in
the future At any rate it does not far fetch
ed to suppose that there would be logical need for
from Minneapolis through Glencoe Redwood Falls,
Marshall and Bookings
Women's Clubs-A potent factor in the progress
of the city is the work of the various womens organ
zaons. All of these Clubs have programs, and when
well planned and worked out will play real part in
civic advancement.
Other Organizations Redwood Falls can be proud
of it's many organizations each serving purpose
which reacts to community betterment. The Lions
Club American Legion, Ladies' Auxiliary, Merchants
Association. If anyone interested in projects aside
from those mentioned and under consideration will
communicate their wishes to of these organize
are Redwood Falls boosters
Educational Progress-Important in contributing
to the upbudng of future citizens the educational
institutions. Every citizen should fight for those
things that will make grow and fight against any
efforts to limit the usefulness of schools Projects
staged by the various departments should warrant
civic support, and public responsiveness.
Rural Cooperation-Redwood Falls is located in
agricultural region. The farms of this county, the
onI hove hop 70 10 Pad
wood Falls the city it is today There should be the
heartiest cooperation between the people of the town
and country. Each have their problems and some
times when absorbed fail to the point of view
of the other equally engrossed But is dependent
upon the other and when the suffers financially the
other will also feel an effect. 1t is suggested that
Redwood Falls give somethought for community hos
ptality banquet which has met with such success at
Appleton where it was first inaugurated. This should
be annual affair with hundreds in attendance and
every Redwood Falls business man have his guest
outside the city, An event of this kind would
have unmstakabe significance in gaining the good will
of innumerable residents of this county, and would
give Redwood Falls good publicity.
Pull For the Churches-Blessed with churches of
variety Of denominations other institution contri
butes to building up the moral of this
munity Pastors Of these churches aggressive and
up-to-date One of the most important factors con-
sidered by anyone taking up new residence is the
question of church facilities. Back the churches by at
tendance and support and you will contribute to the
growth of the city and its increasing helpfuness.
Courage Plus Vision-Rght more than ever
BEFORE courage necessary in face of the stress of the
times If there is feeling of anxiety discourage
ment with some folks right now let remember the
spirit of pioneer forebears who blazed the way in
the frontier days half century ago. If they had
faltered in the apparent face of dscouragng circum
stances where would we have been now? They set
l~I
the heritage of their efforts To have vision for the
future of Redwood Falls-more popuous, beauti-
full and hospitable few attributes desired. To
courage industries and business enterprises to
locate here is another But first the city must become
inviting through the attracveness of its progressive
spirit and cooperation. Let peptomism prevail.
Wonder What They Think?
Wonder what those Redwood Falls supporters of
senator think now since their favorite from out of
the county voted wet recently.
Why the Indifference?
w THAT is the matter with the people of Redwood
M Falls in that they failed to turn out for the
annual concert of the school band? This lack
of civic support especially provoking to the per-
sonnet Of the organization and to Director Limburg,
and Superintendent Wichman.
When the operetta was necessarily postponed the
band asked to present concert at that date. On
two weeks notice the band worked up fine program
with few rehearsals, and the performance Friday
night revelation what great strides this body
has made since the first of the school The con-
interesting and the bands rendition of sew
eral noteworthy compositions exceeded the expecta-
tons of even the most casual enthusiast
There is no why the auditorium should
have been packed. And it if a special meet
ing Of civic organization could have been set for any
other date avoid conflict 1t would have been civic
dignity to have done
Activity is the life of any organization and this
is equally true of school band To maintain maxi
mum of interest of it's members, and also the music
loving public, the band should appear frequently at
such functions as suitable. But there is nothing
inspiring playing before empty seats. There is no
