A CIVIC DUTY

This year, for the first time, in
its history, Smyrna is going to Sc
lect an outstanding citizen for the
year 1947. This citizen will be rec
ognized at a public affair and given
an award from appreciative fellow
citizens.
Each of us knows of some man
or some woman who serves his
community all the year around.
Some of the selections are obvious.
But when you stop to think about
it, don't overlook the men and wo-
men who serve in inconspicuous
ways by doing the little things
which make the lives of those
about them just little easier or
pleasanter.
It's not always the fellow who
belongs to all the organizations or
serves on all the civic committees.
1t might be, but it might just as
well be someone whose deeds We
never hear of. 1t could as we'll be
a very young person as person
with more experience.
No matter who receives your
nomination, be sure that you make
one. 1t is as much your duty as
going 10 the polls. Only by uni
versal participation, can the selec-
tion of Smyrnas Outstanding Cit
izen, 1947 be truly representative.
