S3.00 Area Is Suffering “Growing Pains W It is d«xibtful if there is a single Pilot reader who hasn't heard of "growing pains’’—that which dad said was wrong if any pain appeared during adolescent days. This area certainly has such pains, if such there be. Busily do- ing things the area suffers from the work done by others in no un- certain way Such may be said of the yards and yards of d irt being moved from a future site of a building to a spot once a m arsh. The community suffers from mud on the streets, one of those pair.* incident to p ro g re " Most every reader has been to some city or another where a street was partially blocked by a high hoaM fence, preventing use of a sidewalk, perhaps a whole block, where a new' building is being erected. That is a growing pain (to the public) for inconvenience is caused thereby. Visionary people see in the area a thickly-settled spot of this section of Oregon With possibilities here for a population of 20,000 or more people, it is certain that many growing pains are quite likely to be felt before relief is in sight. They’re Working For Everyone There is, in the area, an unselfish group of men who m eet when occasions <lemand, to plan for the future of the area. Unsung, and quite often censured for their work, these men poo, th eir visions for a better area, and w ork—constantly—toward civic improvement. These men the hoard of directors and comm ittee chairm an of the Brookings-Harbor Chamber of Commerce—their reason for all this work—to butld a better rommunity. With the Azalea Festival coming May 25, with hundreds of issues at stake, vital to the well-being of the community, m any hold meetings as often as twice-«-week. Ic many a casual observer, the question arises: "W hat are they expecting from this w ork?" Actually.’ if their time were only worth Ilk an hourt then each individual would be loser. True, these m^n hope that by their work, their businesses may prosper, but not to any greater extent than they want others to prosper. Since no chain is stronger than its weakest link, no community can ever hope to prosper more than the average of the community. o CURRY B R O O K IN G S W E 11 A V E : Johns-Mannville Asbestos Siding Creo-Dipped Shakes lsV pound Hexagonal Rooting 90-pound Slatekote Rooting 65-pound Extri i Heavy Roofing 30-pound Felt 15-pound Felt Fireplace Units 1 s-inch Masonite Pittsburgh Paints For Most Any Need Ixx'ally, \Ye Represent: Johns-M annville Co.
