Show The TOWN DOCTOR (The Doctor of Towns) j Says Two men were driving on a bc-auth'ul winding roadway through a rolling wooded country when rounding a curve they suddenly came upon a number of cars at a standstill. There was no accident, thvn wa; no police officer, but r.o barrier of the stoutest iron or electrified stt no liitfh-.vay's "Road Closed"' or ''Bridge Out" could have been more effective; cars east-bound and "west ho" stand still as if cemented to the pavement, for a mother Seganku had chosen this arterial highway for an ostentatious promenade of her progeny. That, mother polecat and a lot of little polecats were going places, and in the going, behemoths of gasoline-driven iron and steel-brothers in creation crea-tion of odoriferous atmosphere whosre path she crossed, became as statues. With a glance neither to right nor left, she led her little family across the highway, while a score or more of earthly dwellers looked on with awe jand apprehension, and marveled at her boldness, nerve and determination. There is no doubt, but that many of her kind had ventured to cross that read but faltered after starting and had, therefore, been annihilated; others had looked across the highway and wished they were on the other side; others had peered out at, the whizzing automobiles and turned back with fear and trembling in their hearts, and many more were content to stay where they were. But this little "kitty" knew the power of her atmosphere, decided to get somewhere, made known her intentions, started, kept on going, and got to where she was going tp the other side of the road. The moral to communities in this: Recognize the power of YOUR atmosphere at-mosphere (concerted effort pulling together) decided on what kind of a community you would like yours to be, then start, individually and collectively, collect-ively, thinking and doing those thinks that will make it such looking neither rght nor left until you "get where you are going." And remember, that the town that says, 'Tt can't, be done" will lose its trade to the town that does do it. j |
