FELICITATIONS AND A IlKMINDKIt
Igi lining- of construction .soon after January 1, nexr,
on the projected Medical Arts building in this city, which
calls for an aggregate total disbursement f approximately
$90,000, is an auspicious way to start the progress program
in Rosebtirg for 1!I2!. Its builders are displaying confidence
in local business conditions that will serve to encourage
other investments of material benefit to the community gen
erally. Office buildings designed and equipped especially
to meet the exacting needs of physicians, surgeons and dent
ists have come to be recognized as requirement of every
city with pretensions to modernity, and Koseburg is for
tunate in being assured of a such a highly desirable acquisi
tion. May we take this opportunity to remind the builders
of the nation-wide campaign among cities having airports
f havu the locations of the landing fields indicated by roof
signs and arrows on the highest
aviators will ot course need no sucli guidance lo me local
airport, but the day is not far distant when visiting airmen j
strange to this city will be frequent and if they happen to
reach here in the daytime, as they generally will and wlion j
there is no beacon to guide them, a friendly arrow or a roof
sign will prove of assistance to them and perhaps, on some
occasion, save the time necessary to avoid an accident in a
forced landing.

POEM FOR THE DAY
By LOUIS ALBERT BANKS
PRACTICE WHAT WE PREACH
"While it is well for us to look abroad and carry to other
people a knowledsje of our faith, we should not forcet that our
success in that direction will be largely measured by what we
do at home. The light which we shed for others will depend
upon the intensity of the flame which we crente for ourselves.
The ability to help others to see comes from the clearness of
our own vision The greatest rcrvice, that we can possibly
perform for the world is to perfect our own moral progress."
Calvin Coolidfie.
No man can do a greater thint;
To wake the whole wide world to sing
Than just to hold himself to good,

And do not claim all we deserve.
