Another Thankless Job Well Done

The committees in charge of the Walkerton and North Liberty Fourth of July programs should stick their chests out with pride once again as both communities offered to the people, very enjoyable programs for the celebration of our Nation’s Independence. Undertaking such a job is simply a community service which takes a lot of time and effort by a few to make such an enjoyble day for everyone. North Liberty's program included a fine parade, something not common to a town of this size. Planning a parade and then putting one in motion with interest to all is two different things and the North Liberty gr< up has again done a fine job in this line. Walkerton's program centers mainly around a midway atmosphere. This also is something that isn't brought to a lot of small towns for various reasons. Bringing a group to town that can be trusted and

Many people use this time from work to visit friends and relatives, others have guests come to their homes. Others are content to do nothing, just take it easy and enjoy the day of leisure while still others flock to the golf courses, beaches, fishing holes or what have you. On a c< mmunity basis, the towns of Walkerton and North Liberty offer a day's entertainment to the people of the area. Their programs vary in style, but both are aimed at giving the people sum thing to do. These two programed, among the best for towns of any size, are the combined efforts of those who take an interest m the communities. The merchants and the service organizations. Little appreciation is given to those who are responsible and do the work in these celebrations. It is fine for the people and in return fine for the towns. Let’s hope they never cease. Girls Scouts Enjoy Day Camp Another year of Walkerton Girl Scout Day Camp is over.

The beautiful new building, at the corner of Illinois and Van Buren Streets is another great improvement for the appearance of the town. It adds just one more spot of progress to the town as well as offering better facilities for their line of business. Congratulations are extended to the officials of the Farmers State Bank of Wyatt, and especially to the local manager, Wayne R. Burch, and his complete staff. You have something to really be proud.

give the entertainment they have to offer also presents problems. However, the success of this enables many to enjoy the facilities that otherwise wouldn't have the chance through the course of a summer. And both groups of course, climax the day’s activities with a grand display of firworks. This symbol of the freedom had been changed from everyone's participation years ago, to a much safer public display handled by the proper pi rs ns. The kind of explosions an 1 expressions of rockets etc. that is enjoyed in such a program as this only helps to remind us of the other type of explosions and rockets that our fighting men around the world are trying to endure in an effort to give us peace. Both towns should again feel proud that a safe and sound Fourth of July w.ls* celebrated in fine style in their respective communities. „,

A mistaken idea with some people is that the newspaper is an individual proposition. If they don’t like the editor, they feel they must knock the paper and stand in the way of its success whenever possible. They do not realize that the local paper is just as much a part of the community as the schools, churches, or anything else. The newspaper is different from any other business, it is a community affair. It is for service to the people and not for any individual.

and the editor may not love you any too weU-but the paper he is responsible for does just as much for you as the service rendered Others. There is nothing personal with it, it is here for a purpose and that purpose is to do what good it can in every way it can; the greater the support of those it undertakes to serve the better service it can render. It takes the people to make a good newspaper and Without the help of the people, no one can run a successful newspaper. It requires money to operate any kind of businesseven the churches, and the papers are no exception, and for You may not like ti«e editor
