Women's Mission Soc. Plan for Yule Giving RAMBO’S RAMBLINGS Goldie The world—both our own little bit of it and worldwide, is full of many and varied prob lems—sitting at my desk this cold and winterlike Septemlier- afternoon I am thinking about many things. Which makes me wonder—is it better to keep your thoughts to yourself—sit back and just be an onlooker at the passing scene? Its pro bably a good way to stay out of trouble but also a good way to die of boredem, at least to people that prefer to be an ACTIVIST. I was talking to one young civic leader this morning and he was sort of disgruntled about certain situations and thought maybe it WAS better to sit back and not try to do things for the good of the community in which we live. But we need people like him that are fair-minded and really want to see our town improve. You know it is real odd—many people that don’t get involved in anything honestly have the idea that “doers” just want to get recognition—but <in my many years in dealing with the public I find that most civic minded people are sincerely interested in their community and its residents. Which reminds me—petitions are about due for city council men and a mayor—I asked one enterprising person the other day if he wouldn’t like to run for Mayor — and he said “Why?” That’s all I ever did get out of him, which was the heighth of frustration.
