THE URILLIA SPIRIT Orillia Paoket-4There has been a .note- worthygrevival in the spirit of enterprise -and co-operation which formerly was char- acteristic of- Orillia. and which has become popularly and widely known as the Orillia spirit." Following the war, it seemed hard to get our people to take up afresh the public work which had been carried on previous to 1914. Apparently they were weary with their exertions during the con- , ict and wanted -to jiave some time for rest and their own enjoyment. The crit- ical spirit which broke out after the war It was some thing-new in Orillia to have motives ques- tioned `-and suggestions received with rid: icule, and the eect was to discourage en- terprise. Perhaps, also, the tact that all classes were prosperous tended to make people averse to exertion. Whatever the inuences that dampened the ardor of Or- illians in their work for the town, they seem to have disappeared. All classes are now ready to join together in support of any -movement "for the good of the Times are not so good --as they were, but money can be more -readily raised for any project promising benefit to the town than , years -ago. There is, in was the case two other words, as has `been said, a revival in the Orillia spirit." This spirit is not, as some seem to imagine, the spirit that boasts that 0rillia is the best town in Oan'ada. .' It is the spirit that tries to make good that boast;'the spirit of helpfulnes and co-op- eration, the spirit of unselsh service that is not particular who gets credit for a piece of work for the town as long as it is done; the spirit that listens to other men s sug-' gestions sympathetically rather than crit- ically, th-at tries to nd in them something ofyalueaand isrready to assist in turning that something to. account; the spirit that sets aside considerations of party and race and creed where the town s welfare is con- cerned. This is the spirit that will trimnph CV61 -R nhll mqvln: nrillin Anna.
