Editor Herald:
Dear Sir:—I had hoped when the
Forum column was offered to the pub-
lic that it would prove a long felt want
and be well patronized, but like the
rest, I have waited for others to do
the writing. Now, however, I want
to emphasize the remarks of Dr.
Sparks in last Monday’s issue, the
old familiar topic of a commercial or-
ganization, with the new feature of
making it a county affair instead of
simply a Weatherford concern.
Parker county, like every other
community, contains men of brains,
ability and energy, but at present they
are units scattered all over both city
