Elk City has been asked to contri-
bute to a number of places, and we
trust the secretary of the Retail
Association will sure look after
these institutions to see if it is
money rightly applied, for while our
good hearted people always like to
do their part in every good work, it
is not right to have it over-done. If
a person gave to everything that
comes along they would not have
enough left to pay to feed them-
selves. At least six people were
here in a week trying to get money
for institutions, besides the others
whir are always on the road.

Come, join the discussion of our
community problems.
In this space there will appear
each week a short article raising
questions about community affairs
including: all sorts of matters of com-
mon interest. Your opinion is as
anybody’s if you think. Speak your
Write a letter to the editor
of the News-Democrat saying what
you think. No sweeping promises
can be made that all letters will be
printed, but of course the editor
wishes to print those which space will
allow and which will help your fel-
low citizens to think and act wisely.
Even letters which cannot be pub-
lished in the News-Democrat will be
sent to the Community Counselor,
who prepares the weekly articles.
Thus your judgment, along with that
of all other correspondents, will be
reflected ia the discussions which
follow later.
This service extends to other
wefk>y papers throughout Oklahoma,
and Elk City can gain the benefit of
what is thought and done in many
ether towns.
Begin now. What do you think
of this plan? What you and the
readers of other newspapers desire
to have discussed will be the sub-
jects chosen. The articles will never
be dogmatic. They will aim to touch
both sides of. many questions-, and
from first to last they will give you
the chance to express your mind.
The community movement is
sweeping' the state, and the country.
The civic conscience is awakening.
All our communities wish to im-
prove. Our best help will come
from each other. The people are
the final authority in democracy,
and their wisdom determines what
our community life is to be. You
will be glad to have some other com-
munity imitate successful plans in
Elk City. People in other towns feel
the same way.
Here’s for putting our heads to-
gether. Come on. Let’s begin.

a very serious accident while on the

A bolt gave way causing the buggy
tongue to drop down, the mules be-
came frightened and ran away up-
setting the buggy and throwing Mr.

very seriously bruised but is on his
way to recovery now. Mrs. Miller
