Show KNOW YOUR TOWN Many a citizen who brags about his own community speaks from faith rather than knowledge. A local man suggests it would me a good idea to "know your home town" and he has asked us to print a few questions. Here they are. Study them, post yourself your-self on them, and the next time you go to boast about the town you're proud of you'll be in position to back up the argument.

What are our chief natural resources? Do most of the citizens own their own homes? What per cent are renters? What about our water? Is the supply sup-ply adequate to meet all emergencies, and is the water pure? Is there proper ventilation and light in our school houses in this community? com-munity? What kind of schools have we? Are they receiving the co-operation of our citizens that they deserve? What have we here to offer the man who is seeking a permanent home? |
