Does it end with our well kept homes and public buildings, .our fine chur­ ches and successful business places? We think not. Civic <pride goes much further than all these things. It should also extend to the men and women, boys and girls who really are the core of foundation of any community. This work and play should be supported and encouraged. In that way the respect of each and everyone for the other is broadened in such .a concrete way that any effort undertaken by any group or individual will receive the whole-hearted support of everyone directly or indirectly. Now the main purpose of this article is to try and stir interest in sport in our town—all kinds of sport. Let’s show the other places around Exeter, who in past years have more oi* less laughed at our efforts in support of our various teams, that we can get behind our youth. Every­ body loves a winner but it takes real civic pride to get out and support a team until it becomes a winner. With the hockey and basket­ ball season approaching, let’s start the ball rolling to build the support which is so essential to MAKE THE BEST MUD PIES IN MEMPHIS After the spring floods, it’s a lot easier to make a good mud pie downstream. Ask the little kiddies who bake for their dolls. They will tell you there is nothing like rich, black top­ soil for making flaky pies you can cut with a toy spoon. Unfortunately, you can’t feed a hungry world mud pies. That’s why we’ve got to stop soil erosion which feeds a river like the Mississippi, at flood stage, the equivalent of a 40-acre farm every minute. That’s why we must employ better crop rotations, practice contour farming, and utilize many other conservation methods recommended by agricultural experts if we are to keep our precious topsoil at home where it can produce the food and fiber so urgently needed. You’ll find the application of these soil conservation meth­ ods both practical and profitable. Be sure to stop by soon and let us tell your how your John Deere Farm Equipment fits into the soil conservation picture. W. G.
