THE VALUE OF COURAGE
A faint-hearted -man never lives a
really successful life. A faint-hearted
business firm never gets anywhere in
business. A faint-hearted people could
never build up a live city. It takes
faith and courage in make a "go of
anything, and all the really great
achievements of life nave faith and
courage for a foundation.
It would probably be easier for Gode-
rich to go ahead, pursue the even tenor
of its way, and trust to luck. But the
chances are a hundred to one that a
:4 -Peat him -4y of its people would not
want to live in such a town and would
move away. There is a large class of
people who want progress and are
willing to pay the price for it.
We have here in town both classes of
people. We hope, however, that the
faint-hearted are few, and that when
the time comes that even they will
prove that they were misjudged.
We have played at tne game of build-
ing up our town in an unbusiness -like
way in the past. Consequently we
have not -had. the results we hoped .for
acid have 'had many disappointments.
This time, however, with our lessons
learned, we are proceeding on a busi-
ness -like basis. Business priii iples
will. govern ourevery ger. Every pro-
position will be judged cold-bloodedly
on its merits. We are not going after
the big impossible things, but will con-
centrate on the smaller things that -are
GREATER GODERICH, MAY
within our reach. By the aceummula-
tion of small helps to our town, we
expect to grow and prosper. We must MODEL THEATRE
realize our limitations, and strive only
ror those things that are possible.
I -If all our people will just show
1 courage and faith, tne new Board of
JI Trade will surely not disappoint them
I because it is being rebuilt along busi-
ness lines and it will be' run as a busi-
ness institution.

I Reports reaching tho Board of Tr je
indicate support of this movement from
unexpected sources. When working
men and some of our women volun-
tarily come forth and say that . they
are ready to join, it is going to be diffi-
cult for some of on,. wealthier people
to refuse their support.
of them have advised their towns to get
busy along the same line, and if the
campaign is a success, it will undoubt-
edly influence all the leading towns and
cities of this secotion to get busy. It
will be the best way to start a big for-
ward movement for the entire province.
