Looks Ahead

•THAMES — like most towns of its size 1 ■ — has a chamber of commerce, a high school board of governors, and a rotary club. Dr. James B. Logins answers the roll call of each. About the only time he is marked absent is when someone has thougthlossly chosen the meeting hour to get quit of an obtrusive vermiform appendage' or when the doctor packs an over-size brief bag m his coupe— the harbinger of an item In next day's vital statistics! ' ■ ■ '• . It is not the doctor's fault; that the Chamber of Commerce cannot appropriately adopt the slogan, "Watch Thames Grow!" for he has done his darnedest to shift the town along, and will reap a just reward if a lucky gold strike galvanizes the old burg into its previous pulsating activity. Now, this is all to the good. For sometimes towns - overtaken by that flirtatious huzzy, Miss Prosperity, can't measure up. But the little lady will have no chance of eluding the enveloping arms of Liggins and Co. They await her coming. And they will make her right welcome! You need hardly be told that the healing skill of the doctor is cast like bread upon the waters and that he is the lucky possessor oY that bright, bland, confident manner that counts so much with down-and-out patients.
