IRECTORS OF YULIA'S Industrial Foundation
were told last week in Austin by the Texas
rial Commission that Tulia’s chances of get -
new industry are as good as those of any corn-
able town. . and better than most! Hut they
speaking only of potential. They didn't mean
we would necessarily get industry
They told us that towns getting industry are
where the people genuinely want it, towns
for it, towns ready to pay the price.
There are people in every community wanting
growth But there are also those (1) who are
ferent to growth, or (2) actually oppose it.
INDIFFERENT INCLUDE many working
people who cannot see beyond the ends of
noses. A job is a job is a job, so far as they
concerned If a present job plays out. they can
for another across the street, or if there isn’t
they can move on to the next town
After all, “I was looking for a job when l took
one,” they like to say.
These people are often found working in filling
tions or restaurants, popping off to travellers a-
‘ this ratty town," ' our crooked officials,”
lack of 'anything to do’.” If a transient ex-
les interest in the town, as a scout might do.

far more advantages!
FFONENTS OF GROWTH are often old people,
perhaps living on a fixed income, and to them

Or they may be people who like things just
they are!

rwvwrt a toe* af what we now hove.
As any church well know-, a certain amount of
w growth must be experienced just to replace
who die, move away, or become disin'ere.-teil
Many times a church reports a certain number
addition- during the year. . but a net loss in
iibership!
There is a natural drain on a town’s popula-
A merchant dies and his wife decides to dose
business. Two businesses consolidate-, eliminat-
g some jobs for the sake of economy.
Swisher county’s farm population is dropping
ationullv speaking, every time- eight farm families

The agricultural outlook is not bright Corjxir -

They insist ‘they can operate these large ac-

siring to carry on farming operations (97 per
t of American farmers are 55 years old or olde r
nd 75 per cent of these are 65 or older) present
armers are willing to sell to any buyer available
he handful of laborers employed hy the corpora-
10ns to farm these large acreages will not be the
vpe farmer we now have, college- trained, cul -

S LIKE TULIA, 100 per rent dependent up-
on agriculture to maintain the economy, must
tther look to some new source of income, such as
industry, or die
One doesn’t have to stretch his imagination to
see a town die.
The largest church in a town with whic h we are
familiar once had 500 members Today it has 75
The high school is almost twice the size of its
_ school.
There are scores of Texas farm towns with more
vacant than occupied business buildings
Consider what happens to those who remain

wiD be only because the people, perhaps a
minority, wanted it that way. . .oh, they

didn’t necessarily want the town to die, they just
wanted to keep it like it wa- . and death was the
inevitable result!
It doesn’t take 6,750 Tulians to discourage a
new industry from locating here It only takes one!
It take- only a filling station attendant who thinks
Tulta "is the- deadest town I ever -aw ” It <*nly
takes a waitress in a cafe who ' would like to get
out of thi- dump" It only takes a bu-ine--m.cn
who by word or implication hold- up a ve rbal -ign
which read-. Clo.-ed corporation No newcomers
wantc-d. Me want to keep the town just like
it is.”
A travelling sale-man who u-ed to call on all
newspapers in the area once told u-. ‘'I've- heard
that Tulia is the town where they make all they
can and can all the y make- ”
■JEW INDUSTRY MIGHT MAKE a sacrifice to
Iw come to lulia if it was necessary. . .but
it ain't!
We were told in All-tin that there are perhaps
300 town- in Texas that i an offer a new industry
everything tulia ha- to offer If ju-t one reason can
tie found for not coming to Tulia, why should an
indu-try come- when there are other towns with no
good reason- for not coming?
A man might -elect one community over an

¥¥ question. Is it
for the community?"
The fact is. believe it or not, anything that is
good lor the community is g«Mid for me
N'o giMMl can tome to Tulia without a little of
it rubbing off on me \nd I am never so secure
that anything bad happening to Tulia fails to hurt
me
The lo-s of one citizen weakens the economic
imsition of thi- pa|>er tu-l as the gain of one
citizen strengthens it This person may never -jrend
five cent- with this paper. . but he will ■ pend
dollars with one of it- advertiser- which will tend
to increase an advertising budget a little
E POSED QUESTION is not an "eithcr-or"
one If the propo-al i- IxmkI for me but not for
the community. I will lose in ihe long run
If the proposal i- giMKl for the community, it
automatically i- good i<>r me beeau-e 1 am a part of
the community
So it i- on the national level What is good for
General Motor- i- not necessarily good for the
ma-se- because it may mean nothing more than
an extra dollar in GM's bank account \nd it may
ju-t lay there, our of circulation But what is good
for the |)eo|il< i- automatically good for GM It
is beyond the range of jxissibiliiy to put extra dol -
lars in the hands of the masses without GM lienc
fitting
WE WERE BIG BUSINESS, were nil - power
ful. and wanted to grow richer, we’d make the
masses rich, -it hack and let nature take its course
