Excerpt from The Community Program of Greater Los Angeles

John J. Hamilton's active life as editor, publisher, author, publicist and citizen has been excellent preparation for his work as a member of the Los Angeles County board of supervisors and for leadership in the development of Greater Los Angeles.

That the one man who has most deeply and thoroughly studied the civic life of this community - its city, county and school activities - should now make public the plan on which he is working, and the foundation principles by which he is guided, is a matter for general congratulation.

Mr. Hamilton maintains that community plans are evolved out of the local life, not made by politicians. The community program presented by him in this booklet is therefore what he conceives to be the plan that the people of Los Angeles County - Greater Los Angeles - have themselves originated, under the guidance of popular instincts truer and more reliable than the leadership of any individual or group of individuals.
