IS QommuraiTj fT "Buildmcj "Hick Town" Birthplac of Nation's Greatest The so-cttllvd hick town has lately become a source of great Insptrsllon to our professional humorists. A hick town, say the various users of this convenient formula, Is a place where a backfire la never mis taken for a plntol shot; where bed time Is orthodox; where woodpeck ers eat up the depot; where central can tell you whether It was a girt or a boy; where the neighbors will supply you with a conscience If you lack we; where there Is no parking problem;, where a curfew disturbs the residents' rest; where fine-cut tobacco Is no handicap socially, and so on and on. With no Intention of becoming ter ribly heavy over the matter, we want to add that a hick town Is a place where twenty-six of our twenty-nine Presidents were born and where seven out of ten of the Immortals In New York's national hall of fume origi nated. A hick town tlmt didn't have name produced Lincoln. Hick towns gave us most of our great literary fig ures of the past and practically all of those now living, lilck towns produce our Edlsons. If we may, then we would like to suggest that a hick town Is a place where a boy has an excellent oppor tunity to lay the foundation of fu ture greatness. Camas (Wash.) Test City Planning Makes Headway in Country More than 500 cities and towns In the United States ranging from the largest to communities of less than 5,000 population are "plannhig their growths and are growing according to plan," Mrs. Theodora Kimball Hub bard, honorary librarian of the Amer ican City rinnnlng Institute, reports In the annual survey of city planning during 1020 which appears In City Manning. This Is the largest number yet reported as being active In municipal planning, Mrs. Hubbard says, and It Includes all of the largest cities In the United States, Including three-fourths of the 00 larger cities, and nearly 140 towns of less than 5,000 persons. The Institute's map of states also shows pronounced planning, activity In 27 states and the District of Colum bia, fair activity In 10 and slight ac tivity In the remaining 5. "At Inst" writes Mrs. Hubbard, "there Is no state nor any one of the 00 largest cities In the country to be reported entirely lacking In some form of city planning or soiling work." Home Value Praited One authority on home ownership says: "Half the pleasure and satisfac tion of owning a home of your own la In entertaining relatives and friends. "These gatherings of the clans these old-home weeks, when birds fly from many points of the compass to meet at the home nest are preclons events, and unforgettable memories come to life and scenes endeared by recollection are re-enacted. "Will the home smile a cheerful we! come? Will It suggest prosperity and comradeship? Will It be the sort of home you can be genuinely proud of? Then, too, your house should he rather beautifully 'human' and possess Its own personality as a reflection ef your own." Induttriet and Tmxtt A most excellent example of what Industry means to a community la shown In the town of Howe In Mas sachusetts, where Increased holdings by a power company have enabled the assessors to cut the tax rate squarely In half, from $30 to (15. This should attract more Industry, which would mean more citizens and a tread te a still lower rate. Low taxes seem to bear about the same relationship to a community that high wages and mass production do te Industry. Christina Science Monitor. Pavementt Tell Story It Is quite remarkuble how much can be accomplished, especially la the smaller civic centers, by the encour agement of community spirit and as one tours the country those tewns and cities where community spirit Is dead are at once noticeable. Streets that should be paved are not paved, boulevards and parks are til-kept, schoolhouses do not have that fresh and Inviting appearance which they should have. In fact, there's even a crack In the town clock 1 Helping Out Motoritts One of the latest aids to motorists In California Is a special patrol scry. Ice to remove bits of broken glass from the highways. A man with mo torcycle and sidecar keeps constant vigil over the roads, sweeping np frag ments of glass', etc., that are likely to puncture tlres. The plan will, no doubt, save autolsts thousands of doi lnrs annually. Popular Mochnnlcs Magazine.
