BE AT COURT HOUSE
FRIDAY NIGHT
Every public-spirited man, in
Hertford should be at the courthouse
on Friday nurht. There will be pre
sented a report from the committee
appointed to make plans for an or
ganization which will have for its
objective the welfare and the up
building of the community.
We who have talked about the
lack of public spiritedness on the
part of our citizens; we who have
criticized those who have seemed to
us to be considering only themselves
and their own interests; we who say
Hertford is not progressive, should
stop now and take that beam -out of
our eyes, and we might then see that
we could do something ourselves.
A movement has been started. It
may not amount to anything. It
certainly will not amount to anything
unless there are enough of us with
a real community spirit to do a little
cooperating right now when there
has been some interest aroused and
a few of our citizens are inclined to
giv the upbuilding of our community
, on' consideration.
"'' .v.,,Jost of us who have been criti
cizing this and that have had no real
idea what could be done to remedy
conditions; few have been able to
suggest a plan.
A constructive plan for an organi
zation with a definite aim, and one
which has real possibilities for the
future, "will be presented on Friday
night.
THE TIME WILL COME
Lower tower rates for the users'
of two major electrical appliances
are announced by the Town of Hert
ford, These special rates are tend
ing to make us electrically minded.
Here and there householders are be
ginning to install more electrical
equipment!
It is a good thing, and we are all
looking forward to the time when
such a volume of current will be sold
to those who are taking advantage of
the convenience of electrical appli
ances in the home that it will be pos
sible to reduce the rate on current
for lighting purposes.

WHERE ARE THE SOFT BALL
PLAYERS?
What about the soft ball games?
The city father shave arranged to
light the lot where it had been sug
gested the game might be played.
Whether or not the potential soft
ball players of Hertford have suf
ficient energy during this weather to
start the ball rolling hasn't been
proven, but the Town has done its
part.
