'hoy ' require more than broad , butter nd a decent frock to bo happy and Contented they must bo Interested in heir neighbors , their town and their urroundlngs. To bo attractive to trangors , a town must extend the lad hand not only to the man In a uslnesa way , but to his mother , wife nd daughter. When a fnmlly moves nto town , it should bo ono of the rst pleasures of the neighbor wo- ion or duty , If not a pleasure to nil upon the pcoplo who have just noved In and make them fcol that Norfolk is glad that they decided to ocato hero , and that hereafter they 111 bo counted ono of us. Don't .vnlt . to sec what church they , belong o , what their club affiliations are or vhat lodge they may hold member- hip In , but go at once to see them. rVutnon probably do not realize what t means to a stranger to sit alone in or house for days after she has mov- d to n now town , without a friendly ace darkening her door , while her noughts still dwell upon the old onio and old surroundings. Is it any wonder she does not llko the new own and is homesick to go back where Hho knows people and whore .hey know her and call her by her rst name ? Ono of the most essential eatures of making a town look geode o u man is to have peace and content n his home , and it is a duty that the women of a town owe their husbands s well as themselves M help bring his about , welcoming newcomers in manner that shows that wo are real- y glad they have come to live with s. While the men are trying to build greater Norfolk , let the women do heir share , and in no bettor way can hey do this than to help make new- omers feel that Norfolk is the best ilaco on earth to live.
