It h'!S been said that if three Yankees should be cast adrirt on a detert island they would at once cnll a town meeting and elect -a committee. It is a good Yanxee notion. When ever a number of persons propose t0 do something worth whil?. organiza tion Is necessary. It may 1 e simple, but it should be definite. In a community welfare move ment firtunate is the town that al ready possstes an organization that can be utilized. Often an ap parently decaying civic society needs nothing but a fresh program and one or two new leaders to prove Just the Pceney wanted for 'the town's redemption. Sometimes thla organization is the Commercial Club or the Board of Trade. Too many boards of trade get contented by bringing a new factory to town, and then fall a sleep. It is our convinctlon that no commercial organlaatlon gets the l est life of the town at work or ful eils Its function unless it takes up each veir Et least one task that is more than merely commercla!. What Is the use of bringing new people to town unless the town is Incoming a better place to live in? Whit is te s.mse of encouraging families w'th rhi'dren to come to llvfl with u, if the mortality of children among us is larger than it ovght to be? Matters of pub'ic health and' beauty thus hnvo a very close relation to business. Then when a commercial organization oc cupies I' self with nothing but gett ing more business it fails to use the abilities and assistance of' Import ant members of the community. A purely, business organization will in trren the storekeepers nnd bankers but why not have a society In whieh thp physicians, the clergymen, the school teachers, the clerical class and the retired nien of wea!th can rhow their Interest In the town? Specific Campaigns for Commercial Clubs. No organization Is In a better po sition to put through short -time, Lpecific improvement campilgns thpn the local board of trade. It has tV machinery, the access to the rviuilc, semi-official backing nnd usu ally large membership. Take Cie "Clean-up and P int-tip Campaign" which is hecomln so popular and useful. Often the com mercial organization takes entire charge of this. In AsheviHe, N. C, such a club issued a "proclamation' setting cpart a special week for the purpose. In Buffalo a circular was put in every home, with the co operation of the mayor and city officios, hy the Chamber of Com merce, telling each householder ex actly what to do. Women's Organizations in Town Betterment Work. Some men say: "Let the women do it. They wi 1, any wry." This sub lime fall h in the energy of organiz ed womanhood is usually justified. Every town has at least one -'woman's club, and most small cities have local federations of a'l such clubs ia cky. 'flu so Organ;!, .tk-r.3 aie' t frequently, u ;ual'y have spe cial committ'-es on civic matters, t ml 1 ave close access to the child en and lha schools. ... The. ranife of the activities of I wemen's club is extraordinary. They ! may begin, as in One town, vith j the placing of p. inted barrels lit j the street ccrr.ers f r the depositing of papers and litter. They may prove as successful as that small club in Sa'isbury, N. C, which has secured for that town a splendid Community Building, with auditor ium, public library, rest-room, and the headquarters for the lending literary, social and service organizations of the city. It is advocated by some that Loards of trade confine themselves to be't.r business, and leave mat- itefs of gener l town improvement' I to the women's clubs. Your town I may do as it will, but docs it not ".rem a shame that men should leave such difficult and often expensive concerns as public health, plavj grounds and social centers to the weak shoulders of the women? Are we not shirking a privilege as well as a duty? Now that the election ia over, bit's l.'igin to thl k about home pro blems apain. A put. lie library, an eilared school building these are tut two of them. But both demand eirly attention. As to the second one, It is well to note that a school session is rapidly pandng without definite action or even definite plans At this rate another school year will be upon us with an aggrava tion cf tin present crowded condi tions in the high school building. Something ought to le done before that time. "What is your attitude toward this question and how 'do you propose that the situation be met? The Advance invites expres sions of opinion and discussion. "Ev.ry city ought to be the cen ter of a we'l developed food pro ducing territory and soon every city board of trade in Fheer self defense must help the nearby farmer solve the local market problems of home raised food and feed supplies. Our farmers will raise supp'ies in abun dance whenever they can turn them into instant, ready cash at a fair price and profit; and not other wise." The foregoing paragraph possibly has a familiar rii:g to readers of this nevspaprr, but we wonder how many can tell us who said it? It is quoted from the once published, and oft quoted in these columns, address of Professor E. C. Branson on Inst Community Service Day.

It has been suggested that in towns that hold Chautauqua the Chautauqui guarantors should be come the nucleus of civic responsi bi ities. It is true that they often Include many public-spirited per sons indeed, in m; ny towns no oth cr fellowship numbers so many, un teetarian and unpartisan. There ought to be the closest relation be tween the Chautauqua program in the summer and topics of commun ity we'fare in which the town is interested in the winter.
