The Coolidge examiner., 1938-06-16
WE HANG TOGETHER-OR
SEPARATELY


No community can make progress unless there is CO.
operation loyalty in that community.
1t takes united effort to keep things moving IN the
right direction
.Bckering and pulling and hauling in every direction
the other hand the correct way to go about 1T 10
kill any community
The smaller the community, the the need for
united action but no community matter how large
how SMALL can hope succeed hold its un
its citizens work together and unless they always
the alert
I have always had a wholesome respect for the man
who is booster his community. And by that mean
the who does confne his boosting to mere words
always like to hear speak we'll of his town. In
gets my to hear him speak otherwise, but
be good booster must do than say kind things
about the town To accomplish most for his town he must
be loyal to it..
And this loyalty be shown in various ways.
One of these ways in doing his business within his
community
1 think that the business or professional man, and
those in public positions any city that town
city their undivided loyalty in business matters in
other things.
Making high-sounding speeches about community 10y
atty avails but little
1t is the dollars that pass across our neighbors
counter that is the real test of our loyalty.
These dollars come back to
They remain in town.
Every dollar we can spend here with neghbOrs
helps to max neighborss situation beer-n word
helps to make prosperous community helps more
people to pay here for and better public i'm
provements helps keep the churches and the schools
going better basis makes jobs for home people,
Whether it is pair of shoes, suit of Clothes job

bile tractor if it be piece of printing of which
in need if the money is spent in Coolidge will help
make Coolidge better community-one of those
munes that instead of slowly but surely fading from the
map not only holds its but goes bigger and bet
ter things
And in all this matter of loyalty real loyalty as ex
empfed not in words but in dollars and cents the bus
man. the professional and those in public posi-
tions have very special responsibility 1t is for them to
set the example that others follow their practice for
has been said times practice rather than profes
sion is what counts.
1t has truly been said, too, that live to
himself alone He up down his neighbors go
down.
No one chisel his neghbors or be unfair to his
community and get away with it.
Our neghbors not robbers. They all want to live
and let live And they live and the community
if all fair with them and with each other all realz
ing that their interests and interests Identical
We can't afford to be petty in dealing with the peo
pie of our community.
Maybe could all dime here and there-a
miserable little dime and then-if we hunted the
world for bargains but would not pay in the long run
1t would wreck community and its institutions.
It would tear down neighbor's house-and can't
down neghbors house without in the end, having
house torn down.
Yes loyalty to the community and its institutions is
great thing in Coolidge anywhere else It's far better
than any pennyante petty larceny dimesaving selfish
philosophy for the latter spells not community
and well-being but community stagnation and decay.
