j Some Talk of Community Club
j Seme of the people of Murdock
, are thinking of the organizing of a
i community club for the town that
, the work of those who are wishing
a better town of Murdock may work
j with more effect. The idea being to
j cultivate a community of interest?
i for the betterment of the town in all
! ways. That it may be a better place
j to do business in and that the wel
I fare of the business interets of the
whole- community may be benefited.
That the tcv n may he a better place
'e.r hemes of the people who live here.
That there may b better results
! from the public schools and the
rhurchec. That in fact anything
which may have a tendency to help
the rown may be fostered. Places
where this community spirit hpc
been cultivated have found that all
the interest of the town have bee"
benefited. See for instance, the good
resulting from the Christmas com
munitv spirit in the very excellent
! time and display of the eommunitv
! ("hritmas tree and program which
was had at Murray this winter.
