It is a united €ndeavor on the part of all to make their city at- tractive to themselves and others, a better place for all to live. If any people are to have a city which all may enjoy, then all the forces for good must pull together toward this. common goal. No city can be really sound at the core {f its péople are for any reason, divided into hundreds of strange, strange groups. There must be some common platform. for togetherness. Every community needs something to do as a. com- munity, something to which all of the people can give themselves, their resources and talents—in thie way developing a united community, with a real existence, a soul and person- ality of its own. Community ser- vice 1s an organization of the peo- ple of the community which points toward and works for these things; it provides just such a platform, a common meeting place for the peo- ple, a community center where all may come together as friends and 42 BODIES ARE TAKEN OUT OF VIRGINIA MINE WHEELING, W.
