A Thought for Today
For everyone that doeth evil
hsicth the light. neither cometh to
the light, lest his deeds be reproved.
-—-John, 3:20.
Here's freedom to them that would
read!
Here's freedom to them that would
write!
There's none ever feared
That the truth should be heard
Bave them that the truth would in-
diet. —- Robert Burns.

Housing.
In many places people are not ofi
their own initiative putting up enough
dwellings to provide for all the fam-
ilies that desire homes. In such places
some kind of public movement to se-
cure more construction seems to be
called for.
The Aurora. Illinois. Chamber of
Commerce recently did unusually good
work in organizing such a plan. It
was not the easiest kind of a project.
as in some places movements to form
housing corporations have proved fail- ,
tires. —
The Aurora people did better, and
they secured subscriptions of 81.500-
000 to a Building and Loan Associa-
tion which means that over 150
houses will he put up.
Such a record is a revelation of what
can be achieved by a systematic cam-
paign for home building and proves
that a great deal of money can be had
from people of moderate incomes.
Such a. movement not only boom 3
city. but it promotes home owning and
thus leads to permanent prosperity.
Some such effort is needed in Norwalk.

Visitors.
A splendid example of what can be
done to win the favor of out of town
visitors has been glven'dn Canton. 111..
where a rest room has been establish-
ed in the business center. This room
entertains each day an average of 750
persons. A postal station. employ-
ment bureau. and information desk
are maintained. Is ther an idea in
this for Norwalk?
Such a public facility must be a
tremendous factor in‘giving visitors
a. favorable impression. They will get
the idea. that such a city has the glad
hand always extended. and that it ex-
pects to gilve service as well as to
make money out of its guests.
