There are always individuals and corporations ready to monopolize anything that "looks good," and shows the possibility of cash returns. You will find in the Twin Cities individuals ready to do anything if paid. In a way these people help to build up a town. They are welcome.
However, in every town you will find a few men and women willing to do something without expecting cash. These folks generously give some of their time for the general good, and very often are overlooked by most citizens.
Now, without underrating the "go-getters" who usually get theirs, this community should appreciate the efforts and activities of the few who often give of themselves for the common good. They get no cash and unfortunately, seldom receive thanks.
Smart business men may build up the commerce and industry of the Twin Cities but the man or woman who gives time for community enterprises makes the Twin Cities fit to live in. Don't forget that of them.
