the place you live it may seem that most small towns are similar as you drive through but if you hesit ate a little longer you may find a very notice able difference it s the degree of enthusiasm that exists within a town that makes it better or worse than another town of comparable size enthusiasm for one s town is evidenced in a number of ways there is an active in teresl in municipal affairs wilh no particular problem getting candidates at nomination timf there are active churches serving the neets of the congregation and participating in ihe building of a strong moral community community organizations have active mem bers who collectively seek ihe betterment of the town through a variety of proiects of course the enthusiastic town is also blessed with cheerful merchants who exude their confidence in the town they serve and with interesied industrialists who seek ihe the ex the ex is open as close as we are to the continent s greatest show we often fail to appreciate it but each year around this time there is a cer tain urge in most of us to spend some time at the fx it may be the vjstness of the grounds for tliey ccver some 350 acres or it may be the multitude ol buildings for they cover 25 anes m themselves perhaps its the tremen dous number of things that go on display there every year tor there are more than 1 000 commercial industrial and govern ment

competition wth th country i bet t may be the variety betterment of the community in which they are located the passerby may notice some of the evidence of an enthusiastic community but the real evidence is there mainly to those who stop a little longer enthusiasm is an advantage to a commun ity and strangely encugh it all starts with you a single citizen you are the motivating force behind an active communily you are the communily there isn t any room for them there isn t any room to stand on the sidewalk and waich the town paiode by the observer is too often hypercritical as a means of justifying his position there isn t room in the enthusiastic com munity for destructive criticism only the con slructive kmd that builds communities in the enthusiastic community that one that vibrates wilh cooperative efforts there is only room for acnon and active interest do we measure up when cl d you ho something for the tnmenmtit of tht com num ty as a wholi n jiijuud ui vis ulupiii
