Miss Kiebert protested to reporters that it must be all a mistake, because "I am not a photographer." SRie couldn't tell them what camera settings she hfid used for the picture and kept repeating, "AH 1 know about taking pictured is which way to point the camera." Now, however, she's developing a far more serious interest in photography and the award made it possible for her to keep the camera.

So Ijer aunt, searching for a somewhat novel way of amusing the child, told her that if "The Wealth Of A Smell Town" Makes McHenry Folks Feel Fortunate ' The following editorial entitled "The Wealth of a Small Town" was published recently in the Surface Creek News, Cedaredge, Colo. It makes one hope that even with the welcome growth and progress of the past few years, McHenry will remain what we can call a small town. The Wealth of A Snail Town A small town is where every* body knows your business and yet they will make it their business if anyone in the community needs help. It is where the folks will talk about you and then talk for you when the chips are down. It is where there has to be a fire to get anyone on the streets after 9 o'clock and yet there will be square dancing until 2 o'clock in the morning and not dependent on hot music aijd cold drinks to keep up the friendly spirits. In a small town there is a common bond during a disaster and a common thankfulness for rain, or a beautiful day, or a new fire hydrant. There is little thought paid to social position, and the judging of a man is done on his own values -- the deep values. It Is where a person speaks to his friend as many times as he sees him during the day, not worrying over the social grace* as to whether they have already greeted each other previously. It is where a neighbor's hurt becomes your hurt. The freedom and dignity, of the individual is practiced in a small town without a lot of paid coaching by experts who think they know the minds of men. A man expects to earn what he gets and get what he earns. The building of a park or the paving of a street becomes a personal thing in which the majority of folks see a tangible part of themselves. The yardstick is not set oft in degrees that ask "What is there in it for me!" A stranger becomes the focus' of honest curiosity and the returning native always seems to have added a little glamor.

A small town is where the lack of convention allows for more time to live well and think clearly. The veneer of fatuous arguments is a thin shell which'" comes cloiSer to allowing the reality of things to show through. The problems of the" people are concerned with nature and close association with others -- with things as they are. This, in part, is a small town and the people who live in it. It is closer to the concepts of freedom, individual initiative, and self-realization • than any other segment of the land except the remote rural. It is the balance wheel in our social order.
