Better Cooperative Spirit Needed
There is a saying that if you want something
done ask a busy person to do it. And there is more
than a grain of truth in the expression. The ans
wer is simple busy people are used to doing
things, used to organizing and carrying through
their plans, and one more job is not disconcert
ing. They likewise are more ready to perceive the
benefits derived from community enterprises and
activities and usually are found at the head of the
list when these things need backing.
A town or community can progress only as its
people want it to progress. The attitude of the
people will make or break an enterprise depend
ent upon the community as a whole and only a
wide awake populace chooses to go forward.
There are instances in this community which
indicate a lack of progressive spirit. Lack of int
erest in the Rodeo was manifest in many direc
tions, yet a group of determined men went ahead
and staged one of the best shows seen here in re
cent years. Others said the Civilian Air Patrol
would be a flop, yet a strong organization was ef
fected. Free x-ray service was provided by the
Oregon Tuberculosis association, but many of us
failed to show up to have our lungs photographed.
And then there's the Lexington airport. What are
we doing about that worthy enterprise? Is it fair
to sit by and say "Oh well, that's Lexington's
headache" and at the same time expect to benefit
from the service provided by others?
These matters are worthy of consideration. If
any of us are displeased and have a better plan let
us come forward and speak our piece. That is a
step in the direction of progress and one will not
be classified as a backbiter or knocker. It is not
always possible to agree with the other fellow's
ideas but it is at least ood policy to understand
what he is striving for.
If we would place. our town and community in
the progressive column we must learn to say "I
will" instead of "I can t. Then if you are asked
to do a committee assignment, bake a cake for the
church supper or food sale, take part on the PTA
program, or any one of numerous other civic tasks
you will find the task not difficult. The satisfac
tion in doing a job cheerfully and well will more
than pay for whatever obstacles one has to hurdle.
