ASSETS, NEEDS AND POSSIBLITTIES FOR IMPROVEMENT

How does your town appear to the young people? If they returned with critical eyes from visits to other towns would it impress them as:
Attractive? A town to boast about?
Shabby and rundown?
Enterprising and alert?
Unprogressive and unambitous?
A town with a future?
A fine (or poor) place for a young person to start a business?
Are newcomers quickly made to feel a part of the town?
Do service, veterans, women's and other clubs, civic, business, labor, religious, and welfare groups team up on comminity projects?
Is it easy to get volounteers for any worthwhile projects?
Are some groups excluded from sharing in the good things of the community? What groups? Why?
Who "runs the town"? A few people? A special group?
How can the community organise so that everyone has a voice and a responsibility?
