head "A Progressive The Mackinaw Enterprise-Gazette had this front page editorial in its issue of April 10: "Mackinaw has for long had the reputation of being a progressive community. The honor was deserved. Mackinaw was among the first of communities in this vicinity to have electric light and power, which was furnished by a plant owned and operated by home capital. It was early in installing a city water system, which also was owned by private capital until it was sold to the village. Its water system is excellent, has been kept up to date, and is a credit to a town larger than our own.

These are past honors. "That progress was not A matter of past history but was still a moving spirit in Mackinaw was demonstrated in 1927 in September when Mackinaw celebrated her centennial in a truly remarkable style. The pageant depicting the early history of the community attracted the attention and won the praise of people from metropolitan centers. It was product of home talent. "There are two outstanding issues, dormant, but confronting this community today: one of them the improvement and enlargement of the high school, and the other is the matter of paving in the village.

"It is inevitable that there be opposition to both, or to any improvement or any change. opposition must not cloud the issues nor hinder progress. There is no middle stance--we go forward or backward. But to go backward to lose all that Mackinaw has gained, for which we have worked and fought and paid. Our step must be forward, and not with timidity."
