A GOOD SUGGESTION.
The following communication to
The Chronicle from June of the
city’s most public-spirited citizens,
nets forth a splendid suggestion and
we are glad to give it publicity : i
Editor The Chronicle:
Clinton is a pretty big town
to be without a name. This
may sound ridiculous but it’s
true and should he remedied.
What is meant is this: The
writer having had Occasion to
be at the passenger station at
the time of passing through of
the “ Vestibule” and other
passenger trains several times
lately, was reminded of this
fact forcibly. Passengers, de
siring to ascertain what this
good tow n was when they were
passing through, leaned from
their seats and peered around
through the windows at the end
of the station for a glimpse of
the name but none greeted
them. There has never been
any there, though it seem*
strange. European »a it road
systems have name posts on
both sides of towns at begin
ning of yards and several at
stating itself apd it is strange
the United States has not
adopted this too.
This is only a suggestion^
with the hope that it -wiU-gst—
the propeV parties interested.
Why not an upto-date electric
sign on the top of the station ?
Our Commercial Club would
not bo going wrong in consid
ering this as it should be a
matter of civic* interest.
‘‘Citizen.’*
The suggestion of “Citizen” is
The
complete accounting to the American
people of money contributed and ex
pended, as _well as the work done by
the American Red Cross during the
period In which the war council was
In control" of Its affairs. The war
council was appointed May 19, 1919,
and went out of existence February
28, 1919.
“It was the practice of the war
council to give complete publicity to
its policies and finances, but it is only
now that a ^picture of the war period
as a whole can be presented. It la
the feeling of the war council that a
report In this summarized form should
be made directly to the public which
provided the money and gave the ef
fort which made the American Red
Cross a success.
“A statement of the American Red
Cross effort and finances since the
war council relinquished Its control
will be made to the public through
the executive committee, and it is 1 im
portant, therefore, that the fact that
this report coven the period only until
March 1, should be carefully noted."
Following are certain round figures
covering American Red Cross partici
pation in the war, as revsaled by ths
war council’s report:

the town” on several occasions, and
a short while before the death of
the late President Livingston of the
C. N. & L. road, we took the matter
up with him in the hope of having
an attractive sign placed on the
building by his road since the city
has never provided an etectrhrsign
near the station. The suggestion
of “Citizen” that the Commercial
Club interest itself in the idea is a
good one too. It may sound like a
little thing but it means a ‘great
deal. It is just as essential for a
town to advertise as it is for its
business houses.
