In the cities, people usually say "they" about -any community question. "They" think: "they' say: "they" should, or should not, do something; "they' did, or did not. do so and so. Nearly always it is "they" ? that indefinite, third person plural ? who make the decisions, who carry out those decisions, and who are blamed or praised for the results. How different in the smaller places! There are exceptions, of course, but in the best of the rural communities, the villages, the towns, and even the smaller cities, "we" replaces the "they" of tho metropolis. "We" think: "we" say: "we" should, or i sho'tiKi not : "we" did, or did not ; etc. "\\ e' de cide what to do. "we" do it. and "we" take the re sponsibility for the results. You can see it right lie re at home. This town and county definitely fall in the "we" class. We have proved it .over and over again. We i prove it everv time a neighbor is in trouble: every time there is a worth-while community endeav,or, whether it be to make some improvement at one of 'our schools or to raise funds for the stricken in other lands. We proved it a few weeks ago when inanv of our business men took time out to attend the fat stock show, and dug down to pay many times the market value of the meat because our larm boys had produced prize animals and we were proud of these lads. We proved it only last week , when everybody, from merchants to members of the choruses, gaie such generous support to the fund-raising program <if the P. T. A. And we undoubtedly will prove it again next week, and the \\eek after, and the week after that. $ if * The tragedy of most big cities is that they be came big largelx by emphasis on "we": then, be cause of their verv bigness, they lost that spirit. Ours may never become a big community ? and that doesn't matter. But it can become a great one. And it can attain greatness only as we- here in F-ranklin and Macon County hold on to. and broad en, and deepen, the meaning of that little word that means so much. ? "we". "A Thing of Character" What is civilization? That is a hard question, but John Temple (iraves II succintlv slates some of the things it is not. Writing from and about New York City, he re marks that, though it is the largest and richest city in the world, it lacks the personality of Paris or Chicago or New Orleans: though "the best of every thing is here, and New Yorkers eat it up", they live in an atmosphere of "ingrown provincialism :" and though "their wits are razor sharp", their high I. (J. produces not gods but animals. Then he gives his explanation: "I think it is the mistaken estimate that civiliza tion is a thing of wit and beauty and good food, when it is really a thing of character. I think it is something they teach at Columbia University here, : and teach others to teach. It is liberal arts with- : out moral precept, social-mindcdness without i moorings in great right and wrong,1 liberty with- ? out growing up to. it in discipline, Empire State ! buildings that reach to stratospheres but not to j Cod." No community can be any better, for long, than its schools. The four R's of the good life? Reticence, Refinement, Rev erence, Religion ? have already wholly disappeared from large segments of modern society.? William T. Ellis A single grateful thought towards Heaven is the most perfect j prayer. ? Lesslng. A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the t parent of all the other virtues ? Cicero l( Others' Opinions ? WAST It This summer, while Southern housewives paid sky-high prices for fruits and vegetables, farmers were offered such low pr'.-es during the peak season that they were forced to let ions of cabbage, tomatoes, peas and potatoes rot in the fields. The answer Is cooperative canneries and increased government loans to farmers to make them possible. ? Southern Patriot. LOSlNCi Ol'R XATl'RAL RKSOUKCKS Last Sunday afternoon X drov*e through a section of the county that I drove through about five years ago and at that time I thought it was about the finest st^nd of virgin pine timber I ever saw, and last Sunday there was not a stick f it standing and one would not even suspect that that land had been covered with fine timber just five years ago. For the past three years I have been noticing how much fine timber is going out of the country and none of it being used here. There has been millions of feet of the very finest timber hauled out of the country in the last few years and not a stick of it being used here t,o build up the country What I want to know is who is getting it and where it is going, and what are we going to do for timber with which to build more houses and repair these old ones that are decaying, and why it is that lumber is so hard to get here where thefe is so much of it being hauled out from here? Sometimes what we think is 'progress is just the very opposite. Anything that denudes the country of its natural resources Is not progress, but the very opposite For the time being it furnished Jobs and causes more money to cixculate, but later on we will pay the bills when we have to buy that lumber back in the finished product. ?
