Show . - I The TOWN DOCTOR P i: (The Doctor of Towns) i Says GET COMMl'NITY MINDED. '. What you do, what you say, your attitude toward the pi -ice wheij you live creates or destroys public) opinion, prestige and peed v. ill of your com- -munity. Other people look to you for an example if you do not spcal; well of the community, if you do not do something- for the community, others will do likewise. No city, town, village or hamlet can expect to become a better, more interesting-, more attractive place in which to live-, work, play and prosper unless everybody does a little something. It isn't' necessary to spend days or weeks on a drive of some kind; you don't have) to get out and make a show of yourself; nor is it necessary for you to be one of the big toads in the puddle, to be able to do something. And don't think that when you do do anything for the benefit of others, that you are a martyr to the cause; nor that your are donating. Get it out of your head that you are doing something charitable every time you go a little out of your way to perform a little service or dig down in your pocket for a few dollars; to, make possible something that the other fellow will get some good out of. You can't make money unless the other fellow does. What profits the community profits you, and there are no "if's," "and's" or "buts" about it. Do something! You have a. dozen chances every day to do somsthing, to say something that will build. You have as many opportunities to put your fect on what others say and what others fail to do that tears down. Get Community Minded 1 It is good business, and plain, everyday, common com-mon sense. Copyright, 1929, A. B. Stone. Reproduction prohibited in whole or in part. |
