TEN WAYS TO RUIN A TOWN
Attitudes play an important role in community development and economic prosperity. The following list appeared in the Keith County News recently and is an excellent example of the kinds of attitudes to avoid in the quest to make Weeping Water, Nebraska a better place to live.
1. Attend no meetings of any kind. Criticize the way "they" are doing things.
2. Remind others at all times of the cold winters...hot summers...and ruggedness required of those who live here.
3. Complain about the police service, fire department, chamber of commerce, and other governmental and civic groups.
4. Keep convincing yourself that your attendance at school programs, service clubs, concerts, ball games, exhibits, and benefit programs is not important--you will never be missed.
5. Knock your city council...talk up the "kick-backs" the politicians at city hall must be getting.
6. Stay away from church. You might attend on Easter Sunday or during the Christmas season just to reassure yourself that all who attend are hypocrites.
7. Purchase most of you requirements out of town or through discount and mail order catalogs. These firms are the first to come forth with donations and service to your community.
8. Remind others that your local newspaper and radio station are no good...that they miss more local news than out-of-town papers and stations get by accident.
9. Remember that all kids are delinquents, all businessmen are crooks, and that uncomplimentary remarks about the town are the order of the day.
10. Above all, always be skeptical, cynical, and negative about anything that is designed for the community's progress and betterment...your motto should be "If it's good, it can't happen here."
IF YOU SEE YOURSELF IN THE ABOVE, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. TRY WORKING FOR DEVELOPMENT--YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
