out before Marion Winn was so
•sick or the party would have been
postponed. The popular young
ladies did much for the pleasure
of their friends. There were sev
eral contests and delightful re
freshments were served. The
spring flowers and Valentine dec
orations added to the ocassion of
much merriment.

The Town Doctor

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.

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
