Make your town a good town to go back to as
well as to come from. Trim your lamp so that it
will give more light and less smoke, and carry it
in front so that your shadows will fall behind.

that >ou can call it your home, where you vote,
where your kid.- go to school, where you worship
Cod, and where the sun shines and the clouds
