WHAT GOOD IS A FOURTH OF I

ways of celebrating. Have you
aver stopped to consider how many
those that shoot firecrackers,
never stop to consider why they
are doing it? I have often wond-
ared at the percentage of people
arho make hurrah on the Fourth
of July that really pause in com-
anemoration of the deed represen-
tative of the day. Leaving un-
said the honor due the day, a
Fourth of July celebration hae a
material value to every communi-
ty, whether that communiy holds
a festival or the inhabitants go
elsewhere to spend the day.
If Mineola is going to put on
a celebration, pitch in and do
everything—go to the organiza-
tion committee or whoever is
sponsoring it, and offer to do
something.
Get busy and invite your friends
lix Join you and yours for the day.
Msfrp it an invitation worth while.
H you haven't any friends you
«n induce to join in the festivi-
ties, help somebody else to enter-
thin their guests or appoint your-
self a committee of one to do your
atniost to help entertain the cas-
aal stranger in your midst.
Start now on brightening the
aorner where you are. Make your
yard, your house, your store, your
entire town look clean, bright
and attractive; put on your best
behavior and your most winning
smile, and when the company
comes, show them around, intro-
duce them to the place where you
five, and "sell 'em" on your com-
munity.
If the Fourth of July isn't worth
anything else to a community, it
is worth the opportunity it gives
K>u to sell everybody that comes
0 your town on what a real place
1 is and that the people in it are
eal people.
If there is no celebration to be
flelSL in your own town, and if
yjar attend a celebration elsewhere,
you still have an opportunity to
suxax «loatnw
ierve well the piace where you
live. Business goes where it is
Snvited, and stays and comes
back to the place where it is well
■jfcsated and served best—you can
not sell people on your town if
yjsn do not tell them about your
town. Therefore, if you are a guest
of those who dwell in some other
cit-53, invite them to visit and do
So^irfegs with your town, tell
them about your town "tell 'em
^fcgvjou sell 'em" that your town
is a ;-^.£jod' town in which to live,
work, play and prosper.
But whatever you do, celebrate i
