Show A CREED "If you work in a town, in Heaven's name work for it. If you live in a town, live for it, give for it. Help advance your neighborhood. Respect the great power that protects you, that surrounds you with the advantages of advanced civilization, and that makes it possible for you to achieve results. Speak well of it. Stand by it. Stand for its civic and commercial supremacy. If you must obstruct or decry those who strive to help, why quit the town. But as long as you are a part of a locality, do not belittle it. If you do, you are loosening the tendrils that hold you to the community, com-munity, and with the first high wind that comes along you will be uprooted and blown away, and probably you will never know why." Charles G. Dawes, former vice president presi-dent of the United States. o |
