THE TOWN DOCTOR (The Doctor of Towns) ON COMMUNITY SELLING The vital problem that confronts every community today is one of selling. It has always been one of selling—but in the past, probably of less importance, since most towns could get by on the rising market, so to speak. A few years ago store keepers thought of their business as many now think of their community. They thought because their store had been in existence for years, it always would be; there were people, and people had to buy what the store carried in stock. Then came automobiles and good roads free mail delivery, radio, telephone and merchants. With the coming of these "store keepers" and "clerks" had to become merchants and salespeople, or lose their business to those who were. Because for ages past comparatively no constructive attention has been paid to community building, community planning, selling and analysis, it is often considered as unnecessary. Many people reason that because there always have been cities, towns and villages, there always will be, the same as some retailers still think of their store as a supply depot where people who have a definite idea of what they want, will get it without invitation from them or encouragement or service from the clerk. You know what happens to "store keepers" who refuse to be merchants—who do not sell. The same will happen to towns and communities who take a like attitude. This is a Selling Age. There isn't a business, a profession, or a job, that doesn't require some form of selling. Every married man was a salesman, when he induced "her" to say "yes." And the wise married man hasn't quit selling! Every married woman sells sometimes and how! She has to, to make life bearable. The shebaks are constantly selling. You and I are selling. We may not carry a sample case, we may not be behind the counter, but we are everlastingly selling something—an idea, ourselves, or other fellow a reason why he should do what you want to do or not do, and salesmanship is getting him to do it." Community Selling is getting other people to think your town is a better place in which to invest their money for a factory, a business, an enterprise, for real estate, merchandise or any of those things that will materially benefit. Community Salesmanship is doing those things that will induce them to do it, and avoiding those things that will keep them fro mdoing it. You are a salesman or a saleswoman for the place where you live. You are working on a commission basis; you get paid according to what you do, and you will get paid, and generously. You do not have to ow neal estate, operate a store, be a professional man or in any business, to profit from community growth and expansion, but even if you didn't make a dime actual cash out of it, it is worth the effort to enjoy better, more interesting and attractive surroundings, to have better schools, more parks, etc., which are bound to come as a result of selling your community—not considering the satisfaction you get out of doing something for the good of all—something that you know you ought to do. No doubt there will be "store keepers" and "clerks" for several years to come; there will always be cities and towns, but because your town has always been, as fans as you are concerned, that is no reason why it will continue to be. It may exist throughout your life time, as a sickly city, a tired town, vanishing village, or callous community, but without getting sold on it your self, and without selling it to others, by your every action, word and deed, your community cannot keep up to and ahead of date. Don't let your community get behind the times. Do your part. It will be just as modren, just as alive as you will work to make it.

EASTMAN Assistant Farm Advisor Thirty-two 4-H Club members and leaders from several clubs in Orange county made one of the most interesting and educational tours of the year when a visit was made to two distinctive enterprises in Los Angeles county on Saturday, March 16th. The group left the farm advisor's office in Santa Ana at 7:45 a.m., and after picking up groups at Garden Grove and Buena Park, arrived at the Poultry Producers' Co-operative Milling Association in Los Angeles at 9:30 a.m. J. M. Davison, secretary-treasurer of the organization met the 4-H group and for an hour and a half personally conducted the boys through the plant, showing the processes and machinery involved in receiving corn and other materials in carload lots, and the steps required in preparing and mixing these raw materials into the various poultry feeds of definite composition, at the rate of over 45,000 tons a year. Also the "Midnight Express" and the truck fleet of over two dozen trucks required for transporting the product were described. The egg processing and market grading o f eggs were next observed, and the requirements for a "Calm-White" egg were explained, while the boys observed the actual process of candling, grading and packing. Mr. Davison the n presented each of the visitors with a beautiful souvenir booklet describing the "P. C. A." plant, and the group left for Lincoln Park, where the lunch that mother made quickly disappeared and, all pepped up again, a rush was made for the famous Selig Zoo, where Cassowary bird, a chimpanzee that smoked cigarettes, lions being fed, alligators, laughing hyenas, a sloth bear, and a miscellany of other rare specimens held the attention of the boys until 2 p. m., when the group departed for the Boyden Bee Supply house in Alhambra.
