One cunt a copy extra Member Reading; Board of '7-ade Aernbef 30 NATIONAL EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION streets with flags on all holidays or on other occasions of, civic im- portance. In many places, includ- ing the town of Reading, every- booty in the business district does not get his flag out and the dis- play is not so impressive as it might be. Last Saturday,, for example, some of the merchants did not open their stores. Many of them, therefore, were not in town for the day and. diet not get the. chance to put their flags out and, ' had they made a special effort to, do so, " would not have been in town to take them in at sundown. The system used. in Melrose,. Malden and ntany other places provides for a uniform display of the flag on every holiday and might well be adopted here in Reading. The flags Are kept at one place and the work of getting them out is done . by the Boy Scouts. By means of this system, the troops are enabled to will points for civic activity and thus raise their rating in the district. But more than that it is a service to the town and entrusts the boys Nvith a certain amount of respon- sibility which lays the, ground- work for active citizenship. In the short space from Willis' ,GET ' BUSY.,' Have you procured your overalls and jumper for tomorrow? If not, better get busy because tomorrow is the day when every- one .is planning to turn out ' and give the new Town Forest a flying' start. ;The `boy scouts, girl scouts and the other various civic organiza- tions are planning to' take a section of the new town domain and do the work necessary for, starting a success ful.',projeet, 'Several years ago when MemorialPark 'was young'the town turned out in large numbers ready and willing to work at the job of, getting it into shape and a good job was accomplished. The effort not' only brought national fame to Reading but it strengthened the ties of neighborliness by a community, of :effort. Here is another chance to show that Reading is civiely minded and is willing not only to go,dowA'in its pockets to support any worthy, cause but "is willing also to use elbow-grease and good muscul'ar~ activity) to further a worthy project. I The committee guarantees that you will not 'be worked .too hard and that if you.desire to, go home at any timethere will be no restrain- ing hand to detain you. So come on out if for nothing more than 'to see where the new town forest will be some day. (Maybe, the example of others toiling' , . may give you a yen for work.) C Displaying The Flag We have remarked before of th/ Tt is the ri~ctnm nnw- in mnct aowarent indifF r °-+...krfrrre lave now days toward any enter- tainment of a musical or literary na- ture.. ;This was exhibited at 'the concert at the Winchester Choral Society, and again last '.Cues. even- ing when our own gownsman Albion Metcalf and the quartette of Mal-. den Baptist Church gave a splendid recital in Shepardson Hall. We are at a loss to explain the reason for this attitude but those whom we have asked blame the radio. Such an explanation. may be the correct one but it fails to satisfy us be- cause, with the exception of a few selected programs, the stuff heard 1 over the radio is mostly "junk." In any event there is no , comparison in our. mind between listening to a musician in person and hearing that same musician from the ether. Thee latter lacks the personality of the. singer which after all adds much to the pnjoyment of any program. No, we shall have to look . further for an explanation as to why the majority of us turn a deaf ear to programs of worth while nature. 0- The monkey wrench which Mrs. Paul Smith of the artists colony of Provincetown threw into the cus- ' tomary peace and quiet of that place when she likened the ;local World War memorial to, a .
