MI. LAKE PARK

We have just finished reading "The
Little Town." by Harland Paul Doug
lass, secretary of the American Mis-
sionary Association, also author of
'"The New Home Missions, etc. 1t is
not new book, in fact we think it was
published about 1919, but living in the
small community of Mountain Lake
Park we could not help but see what a
small town really means. The friend
ships and always the helpful neigh
Dor, willing to do all he can to help
you with your problems, somehow we
got the idea that Getty folks" are
missing a very great deal. May we
quote from Mr.. DOuglass?-
Somewhere between the country
and city lies that which is neither, but
which partakes on a petty scale of the
nature of both-the little town. The
world regards it as a sort of unsexed
creature, or at best negligible buff
fer state-a Belgium or a Poland
impotent between its mighty neigh
bors with few rights which they are
bound to respect"
For ourselves, we have a different
idea on '"The Small Town." Our idea is
that small town is real. The people
are of a simple complexity, a distinct
and mediating human type. Do you
realize that more than IL million peo-
pie live in these small towns? And
after all, they do supply the funda-
mental institutions of civilization for
uncounted millions more.
