The Knocker
S?riy every town has two rfowrt of citizens ?
tli* In mm oi the knoskem All the world loves
the former, bat even the devil shafts the Utter.
Be a booster!
The town booster is known by everybody, for he
is always doing and saying something to p?ah his
town and its people along. He is the man who make*
the town. The knocker is the one who destroys it. _
Be a booster! .
The booster never loses anything by his boosting.
He boosts other people and other people boost him, ?
and through thi? combination of boosting great things
are accomplished. It is only the knoeker who fails of
his own weight, of his own words, of his own deeds.
Be a booster!
The booster is like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy
day. He brightens everything and everybody around
him. His geniality, his cheerfulness, his energy and
his good deeds breed hope in the bosom of despair.
His words and his acts aid others and ennobles him
self. Bat the knocker only kills ? just kills, kills,
kills!
Be a booster!
This town has many boosters, and you all know
them, you admire them, yon respect them. And your
respect is more precious to the genuine booster than
is your money. It is only the knocker who stands
alone, without friends, without hope for the future.
Courtesy In Traffic Parking
If every motorist would unite with all others in
working out the parking problems, no drastic meas
ures would be required and no hardships endure*! by
anyone. We should be a committee of one to sotas
and regulate the traffic condition.
There is nothing in motoring that deserves more
attention, as the problem to which it relates becomes
more complex, than that of parking in such a way
as to conserve the greatest amount of space and to be
careful of iaymj&to other cars.
Slovenly pingjpig is a mark of selfishness that W
getting to be more and more emphatic as the motor''
car comes into greater and greater use. There is
little excuse for it under many circumstances. It may
take more time to drive into a space in such a way as
to use no more of it than is absolutely necessary, but
certainly it is time well spent. The parking hog is.
becoming even more common and more of a nuisance
than the road hog.
Another disgusting and unfair practice in park
ing and in leaving parking spaces is the habit of soffle
motorist in bumping cars in front and r^ar of them
to make more room for exit or entrance. Fenders,
bumpers, tail lights and other parts of the cars that
are bumped, suffer, and the owners are caused expense
and trouble in repairing. Such disrespect for the
property of others reveals the true character of the .
offender. .
In every community, and this one is no exception,
there is room for improvement in parking courtesy,
and if every auto driver respected the rights and the
property of others, there would be no demand for
regulation of parking. A
No Closed Season
For Clean-Ups
Millions of American home owners and others in
thousand* of rommnnitiefl, have been op to their el
bow* in soap and water and in other methods of
dean-tip during the past few weeks. Many are still
at it. As nsoal the spring time of the year is the time
when clean-np is stressed. This is all well and good
but many are inclined to almost over-do the cleaning
in spring time and neglect it the remainder of the
year.
There shonld be no closed season for clean-up.,
"We need cleanliness in December jnst as mnch as we
do in May. Cleanliness about the premises of one's
property is necessary for good appearance. Cleanli
ness inside the home is paramount to good health.
Fall and winter months are the breeding months
of the germs of respiratory diseases that gain power
ful impetus by tKe letting down of cleanliness stand
dards. An urvdpao towel, an nnsterile eating dish or
utensil, accumtfland dust and other undesirable con
ditions promote ill health and disease.
Onr best protection of health and well being is
cleanliness. Let's carry tbe' el?an np spirit that be
gins with spring Oyofcghoat the entire year.
Till good parties are the ones yon miss.
