The Small Town
THE SMALL TOWN
W. J. Cameron, who broadaasts
Sunday evenings on the Ford hour, j
recently made an interesting talk
in which he told of the advantages of
the small town. He said in part:
“As a matter of fact, ‘We, the
People of the United States,’’ since
first we adopted that name for our
selves, have been a people of the
farms and country towns. Even when
it seemed that rural districts were
being drained of people, that was
where most of us lived and mast us
still live there. Only about 90 placer,
in this country have 100.000 popula
tion, but more than 15.000 places
have populations of 10,000 or less,
and of these more than 13.000 places
have populations of 2,500 or less.
More than half our people live in
the country, or in towns of less than
10.000. The Big Cities account for
about 30 per cent of our people. And.
of course, in the changes that have
recently occurred, the percentage of
the national pouplation on farms
and in the smaller towns has risen
and that of the Big Cities has drop
ped.
“The Small Town is coming inU
its own—that is a bow of promise
arching the sky of this nation’s fu
ture. It always has been the sourc.’
of the City s virility. The majorit;
of the best Big City Men were Small
Town Boys. A Small Town Boy, im
bued with Small Town principles
who doesn't succumb to the lie that
all rules change on reaching the city,
is a match for any situation to which ,
his abilities present him Nowadays,
no one need go to the city for a ca
reer. Big things can be done in small
er places. Towns and village are even
coming to be preferred for many
types of enterprise."
Colored Church to
Hold Their Revival
The Christian Leadership Train
ing Institute and the Vocation Bible
School will convene at “Rust Chap
el" M. E Church of Oxford. Open
ing July Christian 10. and Message closing July and 24. the; j
The
Christian Program are urgent needs
of today. Therefore we are making
our church a school of Christian
living. The mass of workers and lead
ers in the Negro church have little
or no systematic education for their
leadership. Consequently, they need
"introductory’' help. We are in earn
est about the improvement of this
matter. Many sympathetic Christian
hearted white friends are contribu
ting to this great cause. We thank
thase that have and thase that would,
as well. We do thank the members
of our own racial group for their con
sideration.
