COMMUNITY MEETINGS
Many places now make it a
practice to have regular public
meetings, at which time all
kinds of subjects beneficial to
the community are taken up.
Frequently such meetings will
be addressed by speakers
from outside the seighborhood
furnished by Farm Bureaus,
State and County Boards of
Health and other agencies for
civic development. In that
way modem ideas of commun
ity improvement are commun
icated.
When people get together
and hear what progressive
things are being done in other
communities of the same type,
they feel a desire to go ahead
and do things for themselves,
There should be regular pub
lic meetings in Newark to take
up and discuss problems of
local improvement and busi
ness development.”
