As a good cltlien you are natur ally interested in the welfare of the • ommunity in which you live. You want your community to be,a good community, a desirable place for res idence and family life; a community of .-oterpriseJo which you can point with pride ’i But aside from senti mental and philanthropic reasons, from a purely selfish standpoint, it la to your Interest that your communi ty shall be properous. For a com munity is only the sum of all the people of that community. It can pros parous only ms Its people are prosperous And the greater com munity prosperity the greater Is the Individual’s opportunity for pros perity. That is why community co-opors- t on Is so essential: why the people must all work together to a common and why there must be unity-of ef fort in all things that have commun- growth at heart. Constructive effort, the constant endeavor to up build. alone results In progress. The ritixen who holds aloof. whose • bought Is concerned chiefly with Ms own Immediate personal inter ests who sees hut selfish motlvee .in those of broader vision and greater understanding—such a rltlten be come* a heavy load on the hack of progress His verv inactivity serves a« n deterrent factor in securing the things for which every community should strive. *oni fort able homes, splcnd.d high- ! ways, fine ' churches, excellon* schools, productive’industries of vir | Ions kinds. A rotept writer on tM; ! subject has well said that all tju-* are the more or less dlrc<t outcome of Inittl trade activities, and thoe peop’ecwho really desire to protrot the general welfare of their comm :n Ity must co-operate with their local commcreir.l interests to that end Every community has Its own special advantages; the foundation upon which community progress be built. These may consist of fertile lands, well cultivated farms. Yet not Infrequently we sec'how through lack of understanding, th*- attempt is made to draw some sort of a dividing line.between the var, tous activities which make u_ community life; to separate tho lo cal public into distinct classes. Pe culiar Ideas of class rights are some times advanced, false doctrine* of economy preached, prejud.ces and petty Jealousies Inspired without sense or reason. Unfortunate Indeed Is that community which derelops such a spirit of non-unity: bivauac comr.iunlty advancement comes only as the result of complete harmonv end full understanding of mutual dependence Just as a nation attain-, world rank through the development of Its varied Industries so does tV' 1 community prosper moat who«e bus Iness activities are least restricted and whose cltiiep* appreciate the r*al value of co-operation. All In dustry is productive. Everyone en gaged in a gainful occupation, whos-» work advances the welfare of his fellow men. Is Just as truly a pro ducer ss Is the man who tills the soil or his brother who operates the AID THE KIDNEYS Read this Walterboro tea- Do Not Endanger Lift* When a W.a!- terboro fltlien Ktinws You the Way to Avoid It.
