Show Moos from other editors From The Vilas County News-Review, News-Review, Eagle River, Wise: Support of our local Chamber of Commerce is waning. The problems that the Chamber deals with are those of its members. mem-bers. It is not just a charitable, do-gooder do-gooder organization. It Is an organization or-ganization of businessmen uniting to promote their own Interests. With that fact in mind we can not understand why any Eagle River merchant would refuse to Join or renew memberships. It is a comparatively young group Just revived last spring. Those who object to rejoining because be-cause the Chamber has not accomplished accom-plished wonders in a few months of operation are expecting too much. You cannot expect sound promotion promo-tion and real achievement until the organization itself is sound, ' and thoroughly supported. We urge every former member, and anyone not now a member to join up today. Help your community commu-nity and help yourself by supporting support-ing the Chamber. From The Cedar Springs, Mich., Clipper: He was a frank, prospective customer. cus-tomer. "Where's them old ladles that run this newspaper?" he asked. Swallowing hard, I said, "I'm one of them." He looked closely. "Well, you ain't so awful old, are you?" he queried. Then he demanded, "Where's the other one." Then he explained, after a fashion, "Well, I heerd a lot about you, but I ain't never seed you before . . . but I heerd two old ladies run this paper." Anyone have canes they can provide for Grace and me? From The Tompklnsvllle, Ky., News: For the past few weeks we have observed that the population signs at the Tompkinsville city limits gave the population as 1500. We have wondered why and by what authority such signs were placed at our city limits. Shortly t?ter the close of the 1950 United States census, .signs were erected at the city limits reading 1830, which was three less than the actual census showed. Those signs remained until quite recently the new "1500" signs appeared. As yet we have been unable un-able to find anyone knowing anything any-thing about the change. Such a move might throw some unjust reflection on our town and all of us should be alarmed about this matter. It certainly seems that our city limits . markers should have been left according to the findings of the 1950 census. From The Newton County Enterprise, Enter-prise, Kentland, Ind.: We are told that the number of people who function without an alarm clock or watch is surprisingly surprising-ly large. Such people can drop into in-to deep slumber and yet be on their feet at S or 6 a.m. They miss only by minutes. Others can tell what time of day It is, within minutes min-utes of standard time. Birds and animals have an even keener sense of time. A dog knows when his master Is due at the corner, and an infant knows its feeding time. And still the jewelers sell watches. |
