Where these flourish and are active it is safe to surmise that the people 0£ that section realize and appreciate the value to them of such a centre. What Maintains It ? The towels are largely maintained by the surrounding districts, But the organization, the direction, and to a great measure the up -keep, of the insrtt'tutions in such towns are in the hands of the business interests, together with those directly and in- directly connected therewith. Without the active business and professional men to supervise and govern these public institu- tions and undertakings no town could thrive. 8815 ho is Mainly A erredw Every citizen 'either in or about a town should be concerned in seeing to it that they do their part in carrying on any good cause which may be promoted, either by financial or active support, Only in this way will any town prosper and develop as it -should.. Publicity is Required In promotion work your local paper takes the leading part. It is ever the champion of worthy causes and philanthropic and patriotic )undertakings, But to function properly, end fully carry out iia natural prerogatives, it must in turn have the financial support' of the community it serves.
