Mr. and Mrs. Mor rah and their attractive young daughters are well known and! very highly esteemed here, and the crushed and broken hearted husband and daughters have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community. Miss Kittie Morrah. who has been critically ill following a very serious operation in the Anderson Hospital, is improving a little so j Mrs our last news stated.

X 44' The Town Doctor 9*» Doctor of Towns Says: WHAT IS “CO-OPERATION?” Ever so often, and sometimes oftener, we are told at public gath erings or through the press that what our towns need is “co-opera- tich.” * Just what is this “co-operation?” Any good dictionary will tell you that it is “joint action, or operat ing together for a common ob ject.” These authorities also say that co-operation is “profit shar ing.” Now that is all well and good, but it doesn’t quite make clear this kind of “co-operation.” What is “joint action?” “Operating to gether” for what “common ob ject?” - You say, “I can’t act jointly with other fellows in McCormick. * I am not in their crowd, therefore I have nothing in common with them.” And again you say, “Profit shar ing?—yes, they get the profit, and what do I get? Shearing, instead of sharing.” And I know what you men when you say it. I think that “co-ordinate” is a better word for that which is meant when some people and some organizations say “co-opera tion.” Again referring to author ity, co-ordination is “to place in harmonious or reciprocal rela tions,” and of course, to recipro cate means to give and receive shares and benefits mutually. In other words, to give as you receive, and to receive as you give. If you look at McCormick as a bank, perhaps it will help clear up the question. You can not take money out of a bank, (and get away with it» without first you put some money in; and at the; same time you can not get more i out than you put in unless that which you have put in has earned j it. Now a lot of us would be out of luck if we could not get anything out of the place where we live un til we had put in—couldn’t use the table was beautifully decorated, Monday afternoon. It was a beau- j streets, send our children to; for it. You say, “But that isn’t the case,” but it is—our communities are just like that, except that for all those who didn’t, don’t or won’t put in, there are those who put in for them. That has to be. You can’t take unless there is something to take from. There is something to take from in McCor mick for you have been taking right along, so somebody must have put it there. To put in as much as one can against that which one naturally takes out is “co-operation” to my way of thinking, and I take the stand that the average man and w'oman wants to do just that. Everybody, young and old alike, detest a poor sport, a moocher, a grabby individual. Few people want to be like that, and*! can’t believe you do. If everybody, communitively speaking, lived up to this kind of co-operation, what a heaven most cities, towns and villages would be. On the other hand, if we received only as we gave, what a terrible, haggard hamlet most of our com munities would be. Now as I see “co-operation,” there is nothing mythical or hazy about it. It is not hot air—it is just plain,-common sense. (Copyright, 1930, A. D. Stone. Reproduction prohibited in whole or in part.

IXX Valentine Party Misses Florence and Gertrude Culbreath favored their friends with a Valentine party Friday night. A beautiful evening for the occasion. The spacious hall was decorated in flowers and the parlor in red and white hearts. As the guests arrived, Miss Ger trude pinned little angels on each guest as a souvenier. Then all guests gathered in the living room where partners were selected for two heart contests. The^- first, prize, a box of candy, was won by Miss Gertrude Culbreath and Mr. Lewis Winn and the second prize, a box of handkerchiefs, was won by Mrs. B. S. Culbreath and Mr. Lewis Winn. Upon the wall in the hall was a large red heart, upon the center of this a tiny heart. Guests were blind folded and contested to see who could pierce the heart in the center with an angel. Mrs. E. S. Culbreath was the lucky one in this. Much merriment was enjoyed when the hostess, Miss Florence Culbreath, opened the mail box and read the valentines. Beautiful piano and victrola. music was enjoyed throughout the evening. Mrs. E. S. Culbreath and Miss Gertrude Culbreath served delight ful jello and whip cream with red and white hearts. N Those present were: Messrs. E. S. Culbreath, Robert Moultrie, J. E. Winn, Lewis Winn, Mrs. E. S. Cul breath, Misses Annie Lee, Neva and Daisy Hagen. Messrs.
