HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Times, 1909-08-12, Page 8S WI.N( LIAM TIMES, AUGUST 12, 1909 THINK THIS OVER I "The. Twentieth Century Belenge to Canada," ie a phrase often used now, tend we take great and pardonable pride in our country's progress. In agrloul- tore, in milling, is railroad construotion send in oommarco, enormous strides have been, and are being made. There ie an WA of progress and prosperity in store for the present generation of Canadians that has net been equalled by any corm - 'try in the world. To prcftt by it and ;make the beat possible use of it, it is essential that every Canadian should realize and perform his personal duty, But individual opportunity entails in. dividual responsibility, and it is to this point we wish to draw special attention. Wa propose to print a series ot ar. Voles, which will appear regularly in this space, for the purpose of directing the consideration of our readers to a few points in our social and business life 'wherein this individual responaibiiity has been overlooked or forgotten, and to allow that what benefits the community will redound to the benefit of the indi- vidual and vine versa. Loyalty to our ,country carried to its logical conclusion will impel ne to be aleo loyal to our town and our neighbors. Loyalty to our country will help make Canada a greater And a better nation, and so bene- fit every town in Canada. Loyalty to our town will help to make it better to live in, and better every individual in the community. In this series we may have occasion to critioize rather severely the notions of some ot our townspeople, but we wish it to be understood that it is meant in the kindliest spirit. Many people do things from sheer thoughtlessness witioh are featly unprofitable to themselves and harmful to the community, and we be- lieve it will only be neoessary to call their attention to the fncte for them to acknowledge the justice of our oriti- cisme. It will be a pleasure to pay just tribute to many others who have given such matter serious thought and who show a public spirit and genuineness in all their doings that is worthy of Wing - ham. They also show a marked amount of hard common sense, in that they realize the saving of money and time which results from their local patriot- ism. Our special reference is to the folly of some folks who have developed a,habit of doing their buying and selling away from Wingham as contracted with the wisdom of those who do all possible business - with their friends and neigh- bors. We believe the former to be un- wise and unprofitable, while the latter is wise and profitable, and in this series we shall endeavor to show reason for the faith that is in ne. If these articles put a few of our misguided citizens in the way of saving money for themselves and at the same time benefiting Wing - ham, we shall feel amply repaid for our trouble.
