Many hotels were so comfortable
and home-like they won for the
village the sobriquet of Sunday
towns" My fathers inn created
that distinction. Drummers came
on Saturday night and remained
until Monday and thus the hotel
office on Saturday night was awash
with a thrilling cosmopolitanism.
All the chairs were occupied and
the locals loafed about bug-eyed in
the sudden rub with the outside
world and citified yan-Spinning.

A COMMUNITY FESTIVAL
THE WORLD KNOWS ABOUT

At o'clock in the afternoon of June
13, a small community in northern Ari-
zona will play host to visitors from al
most every part of the civilized globe.
The community is Prescott. The occa-
sion is the annual Smoki Ceremonial,
presented annually on the second Sun
day in June by the Smoki People.
The ceremonial is unique in the record
of such things, we'll worth seeing. It's
avowed purpose is to perpetuate ancient
Indian tribal rites. Through a series of
10 dances, whirling to climax with the
eerie Dance of the SnakeS-in which
live snakes are props-the Smokis carry
out the ancient rituals of Indian tribes
in northern Arizona.
Many, even among those who see the
Smoki dances more than once, do not
know that the dancers are everyday
white citizens, business and professional
men of the Prescott community. Their
ritual is so wierd, and yet so true to In
dian practice, and their costumes and
paint so true to life that it is~hard to
convince many spectators the Smokis
are white men.
Prescott, in its Smoki Ceremonial, has
demonstrated something that any COM
munity we'll might learn. Through the
ceremonial, it attracts numerous visitors
annually. Most of them stay as visitors
because they like the country.
Any other community might prosper
just as much-given the idea and the
initiative to carry it out.

THE COURTESY OF
BOULEVARD STOPS

One of the most aggravating things
about city driving, in Ell Centre or else
where, is the way other motorists whiz
along boulevards in a continuous. SEEM
ingly unending stream, while you are
waiting patiently to get across. It's the
only argument we know in favor of
stop-and-go signals in Ell Centro.
The trouble is, all of us do it. and we
all get mad when the other fellow does
it. If we're driving along Main street, we
never think of slowing down, or even
stopping, so some poor devil who's come
10 stop on an intersection street can
get across. If we happen to be the chap
who's come to a stop, more often than
not our language takes after that of a
mule-skinner in describing the motor
lists who won't let us by.
Life would be happier fer every one
of us who drives car if we would think
of the other fellows feelings now and
then. Perhaps he is in just as big a
hurry as We are. The fact that he hap
pens to be coming onto a boulevard from
an intersecting street should not make
him the goat. He has just as much
right to cross the boulevard, or to make
left turn into it, as we have TO drive
straight along it.
Motorists would be lot easier if we
all practiced the same politeness behind
the wheel that we do on the sidewalk, or
at home or in the office Remember,
the other fellow has right to travel on
the street, even if he has made a boule-
ward stop.

Last year. when Roosevelt appointed a COM
mittee OF SIX TO study the cooperative move
ment in Europe there was some disturbance
among American merchants and tradesmen who
feared the committees study might be a pre-
lude to active government program aimed at
extending the movement in the United States.
The committee has returned and made its
report without any drastic recommendations
Some members urged the extending to consumer

government gives to farmers purchasing and
marketing co-operatves Establishment of an
information service for co-operativeS, similar on
a small scale to what the Bureau OF Foreign and
Domestic Commerce IS TO industry, was recon-
mended.
No action has been taken on the reports, but
they serve as a reliable source of information
and TO some extent have helped stimulate
operative enterprises among WaShingtonians in
their position as consumers and private citizens.
The newest coop" is the Rochdale Restaur-
ant, Inc, behind whose establishment Chairman
Jacob S. Baker Of the Presidents committee has
been a moving spirit.
Operating on Rochdale cooperative princi-
piles, it sells shares of stock at S5. limits pur-
chases to 40 shares per member, allows but one
vote per member, can pay maximum per

profits TO patrons and pays union wages.

NEW YORK, June 5-The coun-
try town hotel is teetering on the
] brink of oblivion. The trailer, tour
iSt camp. telephone and miracle of
/ motoring have an played their
parts in its undonng. Hundreds of
rural inns over the land merely
hang ON, waiting the inevitable
/ foreclosure.
In retrospect these haVenS SEEM
ed notable contributions to comm
unity content. My father spent all
/ his active years as a Missouri hotel
proprietor and I spent many of NY
| formative days in what then ap-
peared to be an exciting furry OF
travel. strange faces and constant
change.
The country hotel was the hub
of the village. Most of the news of
the world outside radiated from
there. From the city drummer the
town slickers acquired their sartor-
ial slick. It was where the troupers
stopped when they came with their
tricks of illusion, Soubrettes, Williams
and handsome heroes.
The hotel office was where the
men Of the town gathered when
night came on. II was where the
mighty questions of the day were
settled where the scandals of the
town were aired and where men
argued valiantly and often in apop-
lectic rage over the "goings on in
Washington.
Country hotel offices We're cut
TO a familiar pattern. There was the
semi-circular reception desk with
the open register and pens spiked
in a raw potatoe or cup of bird shot
Alongside, the cigar case. Back of
them, the big iron safe, key rack
and clock whose feice heralded
the miracles of some medical bitters.
Centering the room, the pot-bellied
stove festooned with its yaWning
boxes of sand that served as GUS
pidors. On the side. the writing
desk with a half dozen chairs, and
in a corner the high shoe-Shine
chair, operated by the combination
porter. bell boy and houSeman-
all in one.

The dining room led off the office
through swing doors and there was
a rack for hats at the entrance
no snide hat checking in those days.
There was the drummer'S table,
distinguished by a bowl of city
oranges and bananas, and from the
ceiling hung an enormous and
smelly kerosene lamp. Mattresses
were rather flip, peroXided ladies
from Kansas City or St. Joseph.
Usually they were talked about, but
now and then one married a local
boy and turned out to be wonder
full wife and mother. But rarely
was she ever accepted into the
social realm.

DANGER IN GOVERNMENT
POWER PROPOSAL

Most people will agree with the fed
eral government that electric energy is
vital to the life of a community, but that
agreement should not lull consideration
of dangers in the New Deal plan to
establish central zones controlled from
Washington to administer handling Of
municipal power. Control from Wash
ington over details of municipal opera
ton would be just as liable to mistake
as control from Riverside in a private
company. Municipal power should be in
the hands of the people directly affected
not in the hands of politicians hun
dreds of miles away.
