TOWN PRIDE
There is in many towns a conflict be­
tween people whose first thought is to
make an attractive home town. The
first named people are constantly seeing
chances to make money through some
kind of development enterprise. If such
promoters lack good taste, they are apt
to cut up real estate in an undersirable
way, or erect flimsy looking dwellings,
put up unsuitable business buildings or
erect them in places where they injure the
looks of the town. They may sincerely be­
lieve their projects help the town grow
and are commendable.
These people are apt to show enterprise,
and if they only had more sense of fit­
ness and taste they would do a lot of good.
In a town where there is not much pride
or community spirit, people of that type
have things their own way. They go ahead
with their commercializing projects, and
the town grows helter skelter and may
never develop into a real homey kind of
place.
But in a city with live community spirit,
these money makers find that it pays to
conform to a higher standard. They learn
that the average run of people take pride
in their community and want it made at­
tractive and beautiful. They realize that
unless their developments are in keeping
with the standards desired, their enter­
prises will get in bad.
They find that if they put up ugly hous­
es, people are slow to buy or rent them,
and if they errect unattractive stores in
unsuitable places, people may not patro­
nize them. It is a pleasure to be able to
say that on the whole excellent standards
of taste have prevailed in the develop­
ment of Vernonia. As a whole we have a
city to be proud of, yet there is always
room for improvement, and still higher
standards.
