-. NSAC! MIDDLESBORO AS A HOME VALEDICTORY ADDRESS-MARGARET KENDRICK The topic I am to discuss should be one of the greatest importance to every citizen of Middlesboro, because each of us should want to find out if Middles- boro is an ideal home, and if it is not, how we can make it such. In order to discuss this subject it is necessary to set up certain standards or ideals, such as the following, which every town or city should strive to at- tain: 1. An ideal city has hard-working, congenial churches. 2. An ideal city is healthful. 3. An ideal city has conveniences and comforts for all, such as police pro- tection and control. 4. An ideal city has free education for both children and adults. 5. An ideal city has adequate recrea- tional opportunities and civic beauty. 6. An ideal city is composed of co- operative citizens. Let us examine our city to see which of these ideals it lives iup to and which are lacking. The church is the most important standard of this list, since a group of hard-working churches signify a good city. A city made up of conscientious church 'members would invariably be an ideal town, since those members 'would set abo-ut bringing their district up to the other standards. One of the best things to be said about Middlesboro is that her churches and their members are friendly toward each other, as well as toward their new-comers: and that they realize the value of unified action. Through their social gatherings, such as the church suppers, young people's parties and class meetings, they pro- vide means of entertainment in addition to being the spiritual background of the community. Since the churches provide for the spiritual needs, our health system sho-uld provide for our physical needs. The spread of disease in our city is pre- -16-. vented by the required innoculation of school children, by the quarantine of all dangerous diseases, and by our pure water supply. Besides having two hos- pitals and a number of efficient doc- tors, we have on the lookout to prevent diseases at all times, the school nurse and the Red Cross nurse. But, nearly everyone has heard it said that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and the greatest step toward the prevention of disease that Middles- boro could take would be the elimina- tion or purification of the canal. That canal makes Middlesboro a most ideal home-for germs and 'mosquitoes-and it is not even on the outskirts of town, but in the very center of it-a menace not only to the city's health, but also to her beauty. With the absence of this one marring feature, and with the cooperation of all the cit'zens to keen her clean, Middlesboro would be a healthful city, for the air is pure, there is little of the smoke and other aggra- vations often found in a place of this size, and everyone has the opportunity for outdoor exercise. The question of conveniences and comforts for all is an indefinite one, since the term convenience covers such a great array of ideas, such as elec- tricityg a good water supply, bus, train, and taxi serviceg and means of com- munication, such as the telephone, tele- graph, and postal system. To this list Middlesboro complies as well as to the question of good police protection and control. The wide variety and quality and the convenient location of our shops might also be considered under this heading. Then, too, would any community be a very comfortable home if the taxes or living expenses were greatly above the average? If this is the case, the citizens of Middlesboro are comfortable, since o-ur taxes are on an average for the state of Kentucky. It seems that very little, if anything
