COMMUNITY CO-OPERATION
Whenever a town begins to grow
and gets population, and is some live
town, and happens also to be the
county seat, it often occurs that some
of the small surrounding towns be­
come envious of it, and begin to call
it a “hog” and other uncomplimentary
names, which for the most part are
undeserved. There is always a class
who are envious of those who succeed.
Much of this envy is born of an uncall­
ed for jealousy that has no sound
basis of fact to sustain it. There
seems recently to be some of this
spirit exhibited against Tillamook.
While Tillamook happens to be the
county seat, it has never shown an ar­
rogant or domineering spirit toward
other towns of the county. The acts
or attitude of a few individuals in a
town, whether a subject for criticism
or not, should not be made the basis
for dislike of the town as a whole.
Tillamook, and Tillamook county offi­
cials, have shown a commendable
spirit of fairness toward other com-
munities. The county officials, and come a booster for the whole county.
