We are here now because we believe that this i is a great distriet with excel- lent resources in the woods, in the hills, in the lands and in the streams. Those resources are almost entact. The future looks as goqd today as it did fitteen years ago. How long before we realize our expectations depends more upon the attitude of our own people than upon any out- side influence.
