A study of the accompaning cut will drive home the
solution of the most important problem that confronts any
town or community. It shows the successive stages thru
which practically every community must pass and experi-
ence has shown that only those communities that reach
the decision to co-operate, notwithstanding petty gricv-
ances and unfounded jealousies, can succeed.
Every town must go through the stages depicted m
the picture. Just so long as a few men are successful in
dominating the at!airs of the town, to their own satisfac-
tion and advantage, just that long will the town remain at
a standstill.
There are towns in this and other sections of the State
that, twenty years ago, were considerably larger than Junc-
tion During these twenty years, Junction has shown a
steady growth, while these particular towns rave remained
at a standstill. You have only to know the attitude of the
leading citizens to see the reason—lack of co-operation
for the general welfare.
Unfortunately, Junction still has a few citizens who
had lather see its growth retarded. They own property
hoe, which in their hearts, they hope to see increase in
\alue, jet they are unwilling to contribute to any move-
ment that will favor this increase. To the visitor, they re-
fer with pride to “our” live town, to “our” schools and to
our churches, to “our” park, and to “our” efffforts to de-
\ elope the country and build up the community, but what
have they done to entitle them to call it “ours”? Oh, yes,
they have lived here all these years, have fought every pro-
gressive move, have knocked those who had a vision of
gloat things tor the future and have thrown every obsta-
cle in the path of progress.
hultimately, the ranks of this class have grown very
thin, and today, those who “dream dreams and see visions”
of a town of which every citizen may feel proud to claim
as his home, are constantly working towards that end.
A spirit of co-operation pervades the atmosphere of
the community and surely and steadily we are marching on.
