TRUE COMMUNITY SPIRIT
My community is whert my home
founded, where my business is lo
cated, where my vote is cast, where
my children are educated, where my
neighbors dwell, and where my life
is chiefly lived.
I have chosen it after due consid
eration from among all the commun
ities of the earth. It is the home spot
to me. My community has the right
to my civic loyalty. It supports me
and I support it. My community wants
my citizenship, not partisanship;
friendship, not offishness; co-opera
tion, not dissension; my intelligent
interest, not indifference.
wun
My community y supplies me with
friends, edu- "
law and order, trade,
1
cation, morals, recreation and the '
rights of a free-born American.
I
should believe in my community,
work for it, and I will.
