Course Held on
Meeting Public
The attendance at the 10-
hour course on "Public Rela-
tions," held July 30 through
August 2 in Clarks villa, and
sponsored by the Clarksville
Business snd Professional Wo-
men's Club was greater than
expected. Employers and em-
ployees showed great Interest in
(Ms course. The. course cov-
ered policies that lead to good
public relations that all work-
ing and non-working people
know but have felled to prac-
tice. Fifty-one persons who are
connected with twenty-four pl-
aces of bualneas were register-
ed. Noel Childs of Austin was
In charge of the class. He la
with the Distributive Education
Division of the University of
Texas.
Ms lectures covered the
whole field of business acti-
vity involving public relations
and since so many vital points
ware touched upon this report
cannot cover dim for lack of
apace. Ha emphasized particu-
larly to the group that Clarks-
ville and Red River County
should have group unity. Work
together and puH la the same
direction, he strongly advises.
There should be continuity in
selling Clarksville and Red Ri-
ver County. This, he pointed out.
can be accomplished through
dubs, newspapers, radio, oral
'conversation, schools, chur-
ches, socials, recreation (more
blue lakes), new Industry and
pulling together. Working to-
gether with civic duties and
having Informed leadership and
participation by all, so that we
will go forward. Wa have good
schools end a good Christian
Community. The results of all
this continuity will be: satis-
fied customers, progressive
town and county, better piece
to live. Increased property
value. Increased population, get
more value for your money In
Clarksville, more and better
Jobs, crests more mat for liv-
ing. better sanitation and a
continued Christian Commu-
nity.
"Smile and apeak to every
one you meet, wherever you
meet," he suggested or she
may be Just the one you need.
It won't cost you a cent and
it will be a greet boost to
Clarksville.
"Every business men inspect
the street around your business.
Is it clean swept and does grass
grow In the cracks in the aide-
walk around your business? Re-
member: Clarksville la your
most Important product."
The purpose of the public
relations course was to re-
mind local people of things
already known but they have
forgotten to do. By exerdsl-
ing whit they have studied they
will have a bigger and better
Clarksville.
