TOO SOON TO QUIT
(A giiest editorial)
Xs
(Edhor’s note.— Realizing that some of our rwulers may
have grown tire«! of reading after ns fnr so many months, we
invited a eivie and church leader to write the editorial for the
««IWk. After reading the editorial we feel that Cottage Grove's
**qratation for starting things and then forgetting them must
« have gotten around. At any rate we hope the thoughts expressed
, herein will be helpful.)
