WHAT ARE YOU WORTH TO
YOUR COMMUNITY?
(Contributed by Jas. L. Carbery.)
Every person, young or old, black
or white forms a unit of his or her
community, a vital part, capable of
great good or harm in proportion to
the individual interest manifested
which includes personal influence. The
man or woman who does not at least
possess the spirit of community love
is disloyal not only to the community
itself but the county and State of
which it forms a part, in short the
United States. Such people are parasites
willing to be fed from a hand
unsupported by personal effort: they
additionally are directly contributing
to forces which help the Kaiser.
We may go out and talk loyaltv to
our country, but it takes action for
results and the individual and community
must pive full lieapinp measure
if they are to ye contributiner factors
in a victorious endinrr of the war.
This cannot be over emphasized.
Mnnv are prone to sneak disparapinply
of their community and surro',r,"nrrs.
they feel some other place
is a better place to live when in fact
the community is just what they have
helped to make it and possessses undeveloped
charms equal to any other
if the people themselves had the
ripht snirit and would pull together.
Pulling topether does not mean
alonp any particular line, for this
result in a one-sided development resultinp
in a paralyzed community.
We need pood wholesome cooneration
and broad visions alonp the mental,
morol. nhvsical and sniritual lines.
No human beinp can be absolutely

lacking in any one of the.se, even
thono-h they surpass in one or two
others.
One common trouble with every organization
including churches is that
Ithere are a comparatively few devout
workers, willinpr to make all
manner of sacrifices for community
pood while the majority sit at a distance
with hands folded, knock. This
above all is no time for knockiner.
The spirit of Telieion, economics and
every other contributor to the frood of
mankind is acrainst narrowness. We
frnust broaden out, bury our little
petty jealousies and seek to render a
service that will mean something to
the world at larpre, to humanity, in
the hour of intense need. If every
community will do its "bit" in recognition
of the fact that it is an indispensable
unit of our prreat country
we shall not only shorten the period
of war but become a marked community,
marked because of progress
iveness and tnrnt tnat is mseparaoie;
the opportunity is right at our threshhold
awaiting acceptance.
There is little time for theorizing
and day dreaming; we need practical
and possible things in our every day
lives put immediately into action for
the common good. Just as the child
is taught to read and write, so we
must prepare to educate ourselves
for this new era by a close study of
Conditions and thinking ahead, preparing
for what is to come. We must
set pace with the times, be prepared
for the reception of new ideas and
methods that will necessarily form 9
part <jf th? advancement at the individual
and community. We must
practice saving, service and sacHflte
and unhesitatingly contribute to those

things which stand for the best interest
of our communities, counties,

will be largely affected by the

| We need a number of things in the
great preparedness move or thrift
campaign, among them, goo 1 schools,
good roads, better churches, farm
management and allied interests,
above all we need the progressive
spirit and a willingness to go ahead
and release ourselves from the things
that have been holding us back.
! If the citizens of Union county can
catch a vision of the purpose for
which such a drive is desirable, if
t
they feel there is room for improvement
,if they want to progress and
measure up favorably with other progressive
communities, certainly they
cannot afford to lag behind. They
should feel it a duty to be contributj
in-r factors, moving spirits in the for|
ward movement which is to help the
individual and county, a movement
which stands for the introduction of
best principles of true American
thrift and patriotism embracing the
largest seope. Such is the Union
Chamber of Commerce and Aprricul|
ture. It does not propose to discriminate
in the administration of its service.
It does not propose to start a
! lot of things and finish nothing. This
! organization stands for service to all
and in order to accomplish its desires
j.must be not only supported by the
people of the city but those of the
various communities throughout the
county, not only with memberships,
for the financial support alone would
' mean failure, but with the best moral
| support and cooperation. If you are
' interested in the place you live and
the people you should be interested
'in and a member of the Union Chamber
of Commerce and aid them with
vour ideas as to how they can help
ryou make your community a better
place to live, a more successful business,
a healtheir community that will
invite and attract other people worth

in the development of the whole plan.
If it costs a little money and work
isn't it worth it?
