Selfishness is Greatest Crime, Says Walter Murphy, Dec. 28, 1922

Selfishness Is Greatest Crime, Mr. Murphy Says

Declaring that selfishness had been the greatest crime of this community in the past, Walter Murphy addressed the Civitan club today noon at their regular weekly luncheon on the subject of “The Spirit of 1922.”

Mr. Murphy reviewed the past history of Salisbury very briefly and pointed out several glaring instances of selfishness that had been fostered by local citizens in times past. He declared that this “inborn evil” must be abolished if the city and community are to take advantage of the limitless possibilities which may be utilized to the public good.

He drew a lesson from the past history of Salisbury and urged his hearers to profit thereby.
