A man recently asked me,
"What good is a Fourth of July
celebration to a town?" And he
expressed a question that un-
< oubtedly is in the minds of
many, especially those past the
age of getting a kick out of
kind of celebration.
It is true that much of the
ginal intent and purpose
Fourth of July celebrations has
been lost orj at least overlooked
in modern ways of celebrating.
Have you ever stopped to con-
sider how many of those that
shoot firecrackers, never stop to
consider why they are doing it?
I have often wondered at the per-
centage of people who make hur-
rah on the Fotirth of July that
really pause in commemoration
of the deed representative of the
,day. Leaving unsaid the honor
due the day, a Fourth of July
celebration has a material value
to every community, whether
that community holds a festival
or the inhabitants go elsewhere
to spend the dafy.
If your town or community is
going to put on a celebration,
pitch in and do everything—go to
the organization committee or
whoever is sponsoring it, and
OFFER to do something.
Get busy and invite your fri-
ends to join you and yours for the
day. Make it an invitation wprth
while. If you haven't any friends
you can induce to join in the
festivities, help somebody else to
entertain their guest or appoint
yourself a committee of one to do
your utmoft to help entertain the
casual stranger in your midst.
Start now on brightening the
corner where you are. Make
your house, your store, your en-
tire town or community look
clean, and attractive, put on
your best behavior and your most
winning smile, and when the com
pany conies, show them around
introduce them to the place where
you live, and "SELL' EM" on,
your community. If the Fourth
of July isn't worth anything, else|
to a community , if is worth the
opportunity, it gives you to SELL
EVERYBODY that comes to I
your town on what a real place it
is and that the people in it arej
REAL people.
. Ifihere is no celebration to be
held in your own home town, and^
if yo i attend a celebration else,
where, you still have an op^!
port unity to serve well the placei
where you live Business goes
where it is invited, and stays and;

Children Should be Warn-

Power Lines and Poles
Kiteflying season, which brings j
such joy to the heart of the small '
boy, is a season of considerable i
anxiety- for power company of-

where power lines of necessity are
numerous involves a grave dan-
ger for carefree and thoughtless
youngsters.
Danger in this direction can be
averted only through careful
training of children by parents
and school authorities. Power
