C.’ IT’S HARD TO HATE A MAN IF YOU KNOW HIM In a city of our size everybody knows nearly every body else. Friendship and goodwill prevail in most cases, and are a great civic asset. One unkind remark may cre ate a fedling which not only hurts individuals, but dam ages the town. I This is no maw'kish appeal to smother legitimate criti cism. Sometime? it is necessary to speak out sharply in order to right a wrong. But rm one should ever speak critically of another on hearsay or by reason of preju- dice_^ ^ If you have an unfriendly feeling about someone, we suggest you pay him a visit. Get acquainted with him. If the matter troubling you is important, tell him about it frankly and iron it out between you. Above all, if you hear an unkind or dangerous state ment about a man or a firm, challenge the maker of it. Ask him where he got his facts, and whether he knows they ARE facts. Take occasion to check up his state ments, and if they are not true, take the trouble to set him right. •Abqye all, get acquainted with your neighbor might like him. He might even like you! you Civic Booster Committee Clinton Chamber of Commerce 'I.
