What Others Think
A Few Earnest Souls

Whenever any public event public Improvement
is carried forward to accomplishment the burden Of
effort is usually carried by few earnest souls who
see that there is job be done and then go ahead
and do it.
small town that has good city park a good
ball team, is well paved has well kept lawns, puts
on good Fourth of July celebration, has adequate
lighting or has or does anything all better than the
average place. usually it to the initiative of
few who have ability and who will work.
One mans hobby is beautifyng his home grounds.
By the judcious use of and shrubs and panstak
ing of them he sets example to his neghbors
and other householders which may have marked eff
feet on entire community, though few may
have the time patience to approach the excel
lence he attans. That may consider good home
baseball team thing Of minor Importance or
useless foolishness
Another man may look back with admiration on the
first mans beautiful lawn and hedge but as far
putting that much effort into having himself he
has thought of it, But he may take hold
of the seemingly thankless job of managing q good
ball team; he might have the intestinal fortitude
to try to be its umpire. Baseball is his hobby. He
helps the community by doing his part to have good
team.
Another man may think baseball is the bunk and
that wonderful blue spruce tree in pleasing set
ting something to enjoy with only feetng glance
he drives BY But he possibly believes that good
paved streets with plenty of bright lighting is neces-
ety for his home town, and he goes ahead and push
through the improvement against opposition Of the
"do nothngs" and the "pay nothings" with which
every place is cursed.
With another it's fine golf course, with another
it's better city hall or better school system Each
man may have different way Of helping his COM
munity and help it in connection with some activity
in which he takes personal interest.
Give the boys good hand, whatever activity they
try to put across They're trying to do something in
creditabe manner even though their way Of doing
may not be exactly your way of doing it. At least
recognize the fact they they putting honest effort
into the job. It takes lot Of different kinds Of live
people to make live town.-Star News, Medford
