Qe CIVIC PRIDE To be effective, civic pride must first and always be extreme- | ly and deeply local—not selfishly so—as opposed to general and far away. It must be more than local. Its field and sail must be the individual home, the individual in the home, and there in the | last analysis, it must be a sound, staying quality and possession of the individual feeling, intellect and will—a fixed, persistent habit of mind and heart. All of the above represents passive civic pride, but it requires BCT BARD AROUND THE 4 RIN RT CORNE A a RRL Hl Poor Fishing Weather | Boy, we went fishing last Tuesday | |and we caught more cold than fish. | Between the rain and the high winds | we couldn't see the fish bite so that’s |'our one and only alibi. | Many fisherman about town are | | complaining about the weather, and | | we admit that the heavy rains and | [high winds the past week have been | very disagreeable but cheer up boys, | | the fish are growing and when caught | will be just that much bigger. | | | Here’s One | | Wardan Kunkle, Sherman Wardan | |and Clint Bollinger, better known as { the “Fishing Trio” went up Bowman's | | Creek way last Monday and returned | | with a nice mess, of trout. We al- | | ways honored Wardan’s word but it| | seems to me that they sure must have |been biting exceptionally well for | | Wardan says they had all that they | could carry. | Dallas Is a Great Town Dallas is fortunate in having quite | |a congenial group of citizens. No | matter what their views on town af- | fairs are they generally can get to- | gether around the corner and swap | no argument to be convinced that civic pride, to be effective of | fishing stories amongst each other. | results, must be and is mostly and mainly active, practical and concrete. Civic pride is mainly knowledge put to use. “Knowledge ‘is power” is a quotation from Bacon. Bacon’s thinking was wrong. The application of knowledge is power is more correct. ‘In the beginning God creater,” and right now at this late day there is no substitute for plain creating, making, working. If the readers of your valuable paper and the citizens of our community want the dazzling, scenic beauty ( grandeur and sta- bility of the Dallas-Harvey’s Lake panorama created by God and man to fade into unpleasant oblivion, dismal decay and a solitary desert, then let the workman, whoever he be, forsake his tools and | this will mark the beginning of the age of the sepulchre and the grave-digger, the only workman who will follow the cow-path. And all this would happen regardless of the fact of good inten- tions and lofty theories and discussions. Everything has to be | worked out just as it had to be on the first day of the Creation. But if you want to improve, enhance and make more valuable and | attractive the material and spiritual blessings of this great ana growing community, then keep working and working together in straight forward harmony. And thus working, your ambition and civic pride will be increased; others will catch the contagion and you will be delighted and rewarded in seeing the fruits of your labor and it blesses you and others and long after you will have the joy of looking back and pointing to a noble mark you “made as you touched some one or something. The purpose of this short article on the subject of civic pride the publicity of which is fostered by your very enterprising news- paper, The Post, is not to discuss and special form, phase or agency of the same, but rather the working philosophy of effec- tive civic pride. In a nutshell, the way to build up a community is to build it. If you want a plant on a plot, put it there. So then, let every in- dividual or as one of a group, put his mind and heart to work in daily, living practice, be it great or small, in beautifying, improv- ing, enlarging, fostering and promoting of social, educational, in dustrial, fraternal, health, clu band eleemosynary activities, all in one great community. Concentrate your active effort to mas- ter your local situation and then you will be in a position to widen | your community. This localization is not selfish, it is wisdom, efficiency and fruitful of results. “Keep the home fires burning” | is no idle dream. Help your self and you can help others. Don’t | be deceived and enchanted by distance and perspective. Your best | mission is right at your door, beckoning you. Social service is only a modern designation for the oldtime gospel of doing good to others. CALVIN McHOSE, Supervising Principal of Lake Township Schools.

Usually with spring, we get spring fever, but the Chief is sure on the job. Burgess Anderson The past week, Burgess Anderson and F. F. Morris took the writer on a little fishing trip up to Nigger Pond. We were under the impres- sion that this was a great fish pond. We didn’t see the nigger or the cat fish. However, Harry sustained his reputation as a great catcher of sun fish and succeeded also. in landing .a fine mess of perch. Due to the in- clement weather, Prof. Morris spent most of his time visiting and telling of what he used to do, many years | ago, when the buckboard, which was | the means of conveyance in the old | days, would hardly hold the day’s| catch. | However, the Burgess, who is very | Professor's statements, saying | with the people of Dallas, he never| quite heard one that large.
