Here's bit of poetry passed on
to us by an active member of his
organization that might do some
good if laggard members of other
organizations should read it: Are
YOU an active member, the kind
that would be missed ?-Or are
YOU Just contented that your name
is on the list? Do you attend the
meetings, and mingle with the
fiock-or do you stay at home ant
criticize and knock? Do you TAXI
an active part to help the worl
along; or are you satisfied to b.
the kind who "Just Belong? d.
YOU ever work on committees t
see there are no tricks; or leav
the work to just afew and the
talk about 1.-THE Cliques"?
