COMMUNITY SPIRIT
There is such a thing as Community 1
Spirit. It is both an intangible el- J
ement and a cashable quanitity. In-.!
tangible, because it can not be 1
measured, bartered and sold in com-,
mercial reckoning, but flows in never!
ending stream until its source it stifl- .
ed and destroyed; cashable, because
of the results shown in bringing ahout
the fulfillment of the community's
ambitions to advance and prosper.
Mix a little co-operation with un- j
selfishness, sweeten it with civic
pride, throw in a dash of common
sense, stir it with leaderhsip. roll it
in flavor it with optimism,
bake it with enthusiasm, and
the result is community Spirit. I
