ONE man Ib not a community.
Two men are.
Tho kind of community thoy are doponds upon whqthor they work

Aand no matter how large tho group becomes, tho principle remains
tho same.
A neighborhood Is good or bad, progressing or InortT ns tho majority
of tho pcoplo composing It aro good or bad, progressive or lnort.
Coos Bay Is a big community In which at least flfty-ono per cent of tho
pcoplo aro striving to mako bigger nnd bolter, becauso they know aB tho
community prospers, so doea tho Individual.
This community effort for our common botterment should find Its best
expression through co-operation. Personal prejudices nnd Individual in

Tho Times Is rnthor stiprlBod and disappointed that Councilman Copplo
