proud of our chur ches proud of our fine mun icipal building and our public park and playgrounds we think harrow is one of the fin est towns in the whole domin ion of canada again what is civic pride why it is just love of your home your neighbour your family your friends your im mediate surroundings it is an intangible thitfgand difficult to describe its the thing that moves men to go out and put over community fund drives and victory loan drives during war time that makes men and women raise funds for hospitals and charities for the crippled childrens fund the fund for the blind and christmas seals for the tuber culosis fund etc it is the thing that causes grown men staid and serious individuals to go wild with joy when the home town base ball team wins a champion ship as our team did this sum mer its the thing that causes business men to advertise their location such as made in harrow the home of clark cos tomato juice and cat sup a good town in which to live and a good place in which to do business the most southerly town in can ada thats civic pride people erect statues and monuments and memorials to the heroes of our communities why ibecause they are proud of them and proud that the community was their home and they want everyone to know that they are proud to herald their towns claim to fame if you were to drive through the town of milan ohio you would see at the outskirts of the place a sign proclaiming birthplace of thomas a edison it is a source of great pride to the folks of milan that their town can claim fame be cause the greatest inventor of the age began life

community the old fam iliar scenes of his childhood days of which he was proud home sweet home civic pride and labor go hand in hand jas macculloch says that it is to labor and to labor only that man owes everything of exchangeable value labor is the talisman that has raised him from the condition of the savage that has changed the desert and the forest into cultivated fields that has covered the earth with cities the ocean with ships and the air with planes that has given us plenty com fort and elegance instead of want misery and barbarism labor the symbol of mans punishment is also the secret of mans happiness we should keep our build ings in good repair keep them painted our lawns mowed in the summer time yes and rake up the leaves again and again if it is necessary to keep our
