FORWARD OR BACKWARD
The people of Goderich are going to
meet the test in the campaign for a
,greater community. Indications all
point this way. Each day shows a
distinct gain in public sentiment in
favor of making the campaign a big
success and creating in our city a
Board of Trade that will use the most
modern and persistent methods for
building up the community.
Apathy and doubt are giving way to
.interest and belief. In many quarters
•genuine enthusiasm is apparent. The;
movement is forward and by the middle,
a next week when the eitizens will be
-put to the test, there promises to be an
-enthusiasm that will be without paral-
lel in this town.
The whole question before the .pegplee
of the town now is whether or not it
is going forward or backwards. Noth-
ing stands still, so the question before
us is whether we will make the move-
ment toward progress and prosperity
or toward retrogession and adversity.
It is a question that should interest:
every man and .woman who has a dot:-
lar
ot-lar invested in or near the city, and
every man, woman and child that .ex -
Teets to live here in the future.
In :fact it is a time for sacrifice, ifr
sacrifice is necessary. If the Board .of
Trade after reorganization proves a
success with its modern management
and an_experienced man at the helm, the
investment will be returned to the city
many times over. It can't prove a.
failure because a community can't fail
when :its people are organized intel-
ligently to go forwad.
If the new Board of Trade should
not accomplish anything more than set
our people in the habit of buying their
goods in town, thousands of dollars
which now go to build up other cities
would remain here to build up this
city.
But the new Board of Trade will ac-
complish more than that. Today there
is a tremendous movement toward the
establishmentof branch industries in
communities such as this. The big
.cities are overcrowded. They lack

can't even get labor • to put up n.c
buildings. But it is different in the
smaller communities: Labor is avail-
able.
Now, in fact, is the ideal time for.
Goderich to make a tremendous drive
for new industries. More new factories
are being located in this country and
the States than ever before. To wait
a few years from now may be too late.
ORGANIZATION
There is a very old story which still
has force enough to bear repetition.
A driver on a western stage coach in
the old days had remarkable facility
and accuracy in the use of his long -
lashed whip. One day a tenderfoot was
riding on the box witu him and the
driver proceeded to display his dex-
terity.
"See the left ear of that first off mule,
stranger ?" queried -the driver. "Yes."
"Watch me."
, The long whip curled and sang and
the lash daintily and accurately flicked
the top of the ear of the first off mule,
somewhat to that beast's amazement.
As they proceeded the driver con-
tinued to display his said by • flicking
a red leaf from a .tree, a grasshopper
from the roadside and other small oh-
jects at a considerable distance. Final
ly on the overhanging branch of a tree
ahead the stranget noted a great gray
ball.
"See that thing ?" he remarked.
"Can you hit that, drrver ?"
"Sure, .but I am Rot going to try,"•
replied the driver.
"Why ?"
"Son," and the driver spoke slowly,
"that is a hornet's nest." "That is
organization."
