Important stop that Coos
Bay. or any other community,
can mako toward placing It In tho
front ranks of progress Is to nc
knowlcdKo Its faults, defects and
weaknesses. Tho next step In Im
portance Is to undortnko to correct
thoso faults, remove thoso defects
nnd to strengthen tho community
whoro It Is weak.
Every community, llko cvory in
dividual, should Jiavo a purpose in
Hfo, a destiny to fulfill nnd nn nm
bltion to fulfill It. Prosperous nnd
progressiva communities, cities thnt
lncrcaso rapidly In wealth and pop
ulation, possess qualities that make
for such conditions. Evidences of
advancement In othor communities
should not nrouso our envy but
should stlmulnto us to omulntion
of their virtues.
Wo can glvo to Coos Hay all tho
qualities wo so greatly ndmlre' I'.i
cities llko Spokane, Scnttle, Port
land, Los Angeles. Wo can bring to
It tho prosporlty nnd wealth thnt
so powerfully attract population to
thoso cities; wo can educate our
pcoplo to so full an understanding
of our resources nnd so great an
appreciation of tho advantages of
Coos Bay that thoy will hnvo for it
tho samo lovo and loyalty that ate
tho foundation of tho prosporly
nnd progroBs of these successf il
cities.
In nil that arfects tho prosperity
and general welfare of Coos Hay, Its
citizens must bo united In opinion
