FRIDAY MORNING, JAN. 23, 1920. pe a Ce Our Chamber of Commerce. What has become of the Putton Chamber of Commerce? It has been a long, long time, in. deed, since a meeting of this august body has been held. | And right now is the {ime for them to meet. We know from newspaper stories from hearsey and from various other sources that here are many sence looking for advantageous sites for rE. Any citizen of Patton who reads a little can tell you that. And why not have Patton selected for these community building enter. prises? Daily we hear stories of rubber fac- tories, of steel mills, of other indus. trial concerns sizing of this section of the state for a suitable location. Patton has it. The water supply can be made adequate here. The whip. ing facilities are Te, too, for Pat. ton boasts of two Railroad services. And its up to the Chamber of Com. merce to get busy. NOW. Let's hope to see this organization get back to the old order of things--AND STAY THERE. Some time, mo than a year ago the Patton Chamber of Commerce held an enthusiastic und well attended meeting, and since that time, we have been informed, the interest has censed Let's make “Patton Promotes Pro gress” our sidan. And i takes an active Chamber ¢ Commerce to do this. THE PATTON Post Office author ities have found it necessary ut times to lock the door leading to the lobby of the office during the periuds ir which the mail is being changed. The crowd becomes so great at times that it is nothing more than a mob, and greatly handicaps the work of the clerks. The greatest fault is that of children, sometimes several of one family, crowding into the office for mail. Parents should see to it that not more than one of the family calls for mail at the time of changing it. $%¥ Snow on the Sidewalks Snow is beautiful, the poet pro- claims. It is 2 nuisance, too, at least to some of the pedestrians who must travel on some of the streets in Pat. ton. It may take u little time to shove! the snow from the side walks, bu* it is not such a big job if one keeps aft. er it following each snow fall. 8: if your walk is one of those that is next to “impossible,” we respectfully call your attention to Ordinance No. 4, of Borough of Pattop, which reads as follows; “Section 1. Be it enacted and or- dained by the Burgess and town coun- cil of the Borough of Patton and it is hereby ordained by the authority of the same: That hereafter, it shall be the duty of the occupants of lots, and owners of unoccupied lots, along whose premises sidewalks are now, oi may hereafter be laid nnder the Or- dinance now in force, or which may hereafter be passed, to cause the side. walk along their premises to be ¢clean- ed of snow, when, and as often as same shall fall thereon. within six hours after the same shall cease falling, and on default of such occupants or ¢wn- ers having such sidewalks cleaned as aforesaid, he, she, or they, shall be fined in the sum of One Dollar an the cost of cleaning of pavement, to be collected as debts of like amount are now by law recoverable, and it is herebv made the duty of the Burgess to see that suits are brought against #11 who may offend this ordinance.” *4+¥ THE COURIER is now in the hand: of people who do not publish it mere ly as a political asset. And it asks all the nennle for support. Surely a town of 4.000 souls, with a tritmtary population of 3,000 more, can support a2 good home newspaper. We will stand for Patton and its people and business places unless they refuse to stand bv us. ¥¥¥ RFAD THE ADS in the Courier Ninety per cent. of them are those of Patton merchants, who deserve your trade. A strictly up-tothe-mirute newspaper is one that is replete with home advertizing only. The Courier hopes it will not have to go outside the town to fill its advertising col- $+ 4 IF VOI aps mlossed with this snnv nf the COT'RIER. ¢hpw vonr pleavgre by subseribing for it, and it will be a plasure to us to continue giving vou 8 good newspaper. te ¥ DON'T borrow your neighbor's .
