What Would Benefit
Pilot Point?
No town or city is doing so
well that there is not room for im-
provement, and every citizen
who has the welfare of his home
tiwn at heart, no doubt, revolves
in his mind one or more plans to
help on its progress; but think-
ing to ourselves or expressing
ourselves to one or two others
does little good in the way of
arousing interest to that extent
that results follow. Therefore,
we are going to invite a public
expression of you thoughts or
plans through articles for publi-
cation in this paper on the sub-
ject of *'What Would Benefit
Pilot Point?" Make your arti-
cles short and to the point. Who
will start the ball to rolling.
