NECESSARY TO
DEVELOPMENT

nent Ideas AS To Methods
To Promote Success
GLOVE THEIR NEIGHBOR AS
THYSELF'', GOOD MOTTO

THE following communication was
handed to us by Mr.. Wallace, promot-
er of the big Landlord sale, and 1t
should be read with interest by all
who have the welfare of Pocomoke
at heart. It is particularly applicable
Just at this time. Ed
The writer, being an out-and-out
optimist, greets you with brief out
line which has carried out always a
result in a better community; COM
munity filled with civic pride; COM
munity loved by everyone of its citi-
zens: community that is well worth
living in; community of which every
one would be proud.
The writer in his thousands of
miles of travel from coast to coast,
from Canadian border to the Rio
Grande, has contacted all sorts of CIV
ic enterprises and never has one been
successfully accomplished without a
perfectly surrendered and united eff
fort put forth by the constituents a.
mong the people at large.
Pocomoke, located as it is, possesses
stores, retail establishments, and var
led enterprises that should be mec-
ca or a hub, that as magnet should
draw people from all corners.
Usually any civic enterprise which
in itself might be for the advancement
of the city meets opposition, some
times entirely personal, which if such
opposition could be cast aside and the
realization of the necessity of great
er civic unity could be brought about,
what grand and glorious city POGO
moke might be!
The writer sends out through the
press, which, by the way, should be
the pulsating heart of the community,
breathing out to all sections, that
which is good for the betterment of all
concerned. It seems to me, however,
not knowing any Of conditions locally,
that Pocomoke through the greater
and more united effort on the part of
all business men working, not indivi-
dually, but as whole, could build up
an organization not only in which they
could pride themselves but an organi-
cation that could be looked upon by
any citizen as of great value. POGO
moke should be and can be greater
trading center You have schools,
you have churches, you have all mod
ern improvements. Now why not a
better city.
If the people of Pocomoke, rich or
poor, young and old, will, for time,
forget Europe, war, devastation, hard
times, and all trials and temptations
in a tempestuous world, and could
attend to that which would be their
pride through merely greater COOP
Grafton, there is no question in the
mind of the writer but that the peak
of success would be obtained with
ease.
Every man, woman, and child liv-
ing within the bounds of Pocomoke
should be proud of their city; they
should be a booster of all that which
is for the advancement of any civic
enterprise. Many times we find in
communities citizens, sometimes bust
ness men who seem to live life of Sc
clusion for themselves only, not car
ing for their neighbor, feeling not for
their competitor, but living, day after
day, seeking that "all-mighty dollar"
rather than becoming in spirit a part
Of the pulsation of the life Of POGO
moke. Ifeel that men and women of
that type who do not place their city
and it's welfare before all personal
aspirations, would not even be CLASH
fled as true American citizen. This
should be your town; the schools
should be your schools; the churches
should be your churches; and only a
greater and deeper love for all that is
theirs, can create spirit of "love thy
neighbor as myself" and spirit that
will advertise Pocomoke as a mighty
good place in which to live.
In conclusion, every citizen should
advertise and do all he possibly can to
