HOSPITALITY
AS A VIRTUE
CITIZEN ENGAGES IN SOME
PERTINENT REBUKES
‘Be not forgetful to entertain
strangers, for thereby some have
entertained angels unaware”.
We have not started out to
preach a sermon, but there is no
question but what there is a di
vine injunction to. care for the
strangers, in our*midsts.
Then, hospitality in a commun
ity is a mark of good breeding,
and more than any other one
thing will make a favorable im
pression on the stranger and t.he
visitor.
The indifference with which we,
as a people are inclined to treat
strangers and visitors is notiqahle
ard is becoming detrimental to
our welfare.
You all know that the biggest
business the county has is the
summer visitors, who bring a
large vt.lumn of money into our
midst and upbn whom many of
the leading industries of the
county depend for existence, and
we are shamefully negligent of
the common-! courtesies that
should be shown them when they
come to. us.
As a class, the people who
come here to spend the summer
months, are as a whole the very
best people of pqr southland and
are a compliment to us. They
are business Lardd' professional
men and women, rtfSany cf whom
ss
£ w
' ■ ous, educational tfPd civic affairs
of the south, and it properly re
ceived. on the part of the gener
al public can be made a blessing
to us in more ways than merely
the monetary value of their vis
its.

Cost of “Senate inquiries” for
the present fiscal year will have
drained some $325,000 in tax
funds out of United States treas

The Congressional investiga

Many citizens are asking the
simple question: “Why are these
enormous expenditures necessary
in addition to maintaing govern
mental departments whose duty
it is to attend to the very mat
ters involved in these “special
investigations?”
Has the investigating mania
become a part of campaign
propaganda carried on at public

birds that continually sat with
their mouths open expecting
someone to come along with an
other morsel for their craving
appetites. Now that is rather a
scathing rebuke, but when we
come to think about it, what
have we done to show our appre
ciation for the many good things
that have come, and are coming,
our way?
Occasionally there are delega
tions of distinguished visitors
who come among us and we are
woefully negligent in receiving
them. Just recently a distin
guished visitor was in our rrttdst
and we, as a civic organization,
did absolutely nothing to' show
our appreciation for his presence
with us. We refer to the recent
visit of the Governor, of the
state, the highest official of our
commonwealth, who had to go
to a public hotel, just as an ordi
nary traveling man would have
had to do, when it would have
looked much better, on our part,
if he had been properly'received
and entertained in the home of
some prominent citizen. In an
other instance a United States
Senator visited us and an out
sider had to take the iniative in
showing him any degree of the
courtesies that was due a United
States Senator.
