He is a man who believes actively that things should be done and kept as well as they could be done and kept. He believes In patches on clothes, but not In dirty clothes. He believes in roads, but In good roads only. A booster believes that children can have just as much fun and a good deal more in playing “three deep” or

“handball’’ with bls neighbors than he could liave in smoking cigarettes or playing poker in the hayloft of his neighbor’s barn. Of course, he knows that in the former case he must give the children a very small amount of attention, directly and indirectly. A booster is a man who believes in himself and believes In his neighbors He believes that it is better to live eighty happy years than to live sixty lonely and selfish ones. He is a man who knows that the heart of the average man is good and that our failures are accounted for largely in dur frailty and ignorance and in our stupid contentment.

This booster man is a Chautauqua fan. He is the man who Is urging you and yonr neighbor and your neighbor’s son to attend the most delightful, suggestive, interesting, scintillating program that perhaps has ever been given In this community; one t£at is crammed with strong discussions, lectures and interpretations that follow a prologue of Interesting, catchy music; that brings on the Immortal clown with his face paint and his compelling laughter; that provides a homecoming and community reunion, a visit with John and Mary and the kiddles.
