OUR OWN BACK YARD
“Thfe wisest thing, we suppose, that a man can do f<»
his land is the work that lies under his nose w^ the tools
that lie under his hand,’* We may not be a king as ^ of
whom Kipling wrote. We may be only “little'* people without
influence or power; But the slogan applies to us—-wherever
we live, whatever we do.
A few of you will remember how Edward Bok started
tify America a lifetime ago. He didn’t urge ex-
out to beautify America a lifetime ago
travagant plans, to accomplish the end at the beginning. It
wasn’t a great campaign. But as a result of his work, roses
began to grow where there were weeds and our little towns
became garden spots. All he did was to get people to beauti
fy their own back yards.
We all know how one rundown house will depreciate the
property value of an entire street. And how fixing up one
place is contagious—^making all property on the street more
valuable.
What has this to do with us today? Well, maybe we are
wandering around Robin Hood’s bam—^but we are getting
right back to the postwar period—and to personal responsi-
1^1
iiy.
How your town handles the situation of jobs for return
ing veterans, postwar unemployment, conversion of factories
to peace Ume production—have a Tot to do with th*e way
idi ■
the nation and the world handles the same problems.
If you keep friendliness alight, if you keep up the habit
of working together, if you, like the pioneers who founded
America, solve your problems iii a neighborly, cooperative
spirit,* there is a lot better chance for the nation—and for the
world. - .

Sr. and, Mrs. B. L. McNeely.

lough.
Miss Donsola Mr.Iaughlln of Tan-
This is the duty of the little people in the little towns—
of you and me and our friends and- neighbors. We must beau
tify our own back yards and make our community a living
proof of what conscientious,^cooperative planning can do. We
must prove that we are just as intelligent in time of peace
aa in time of war, that we care just as much about our neigh
bors as we do about our Allies, that poverty, destitution, want,
pmecution at home move us to action as much as these same
things stir us when they are thousands of miles away.
Unless we can retain war time unity, unless with our
advantages we can demonstrate the four freedoms in America,
they can not be made secure any place in the world.
We don’t have to do the whole job at once. All we have
to do is our part of it—all we have to do is to clean up our
own back yard.
There are two kinds of women; those who never have
house guests and those who yearn for another bathroom.
To keep heirs from quarreling, let one divide the estate
in equal parts and let the other have first choice.
