INFLUENCES ON
LIFE OF TODAY
Two Papers Are Presented To
Members of the FOrtnightly Lit
erary Club Friday Night

The influence of the automobile on
the life Of the present has been for
good rather than evil, declared Mrs.
r. NJ. Adams in discussing the sub
lect on Friday night before the Fort
nightly club at the. home of DR.. and
Mrs. G. W. Snyder. Although ma
chimes have become an aid to crime
and although they shave been forbid
den at certain universities on &C
count of the demoralizing influences
on the students, as whole the mod
ern invention has brought results
that are Of great benefit to macXint.
Among the things the gasoline car
has done, tie speaker said, the fol
!,g1,g may be mentioned;
General widening Of the circle OF
life.
Enabling the man working in the
city to live in the country
Permitting many to reach the out
oi-doors.
Bringing the undiscovered regions
neare, home.
Bringing rural neighbors nearer to
each othe;.
Enabling people from greater dis
tances to attend church.
Enabling the doctor to more quick
" reach his patient.
Consolidating many rural schools.
Permitting people to anove more
easily.
Resulted in better roads.
Opening new regions, as recently
in Africa
Mrs. Adams did not see that the
automobile to any degree demoraliz-
ing the young and believed the ma
chine means to an advance in our
civilization.
FIounderng In Modernity
In discussing ''Floundering in MOD
ernity," Mrs. r. NJ. Laurenson said
that after thoroughly considering the
matter she had come to tie conclu-
sion the young Of today are not to
blame if they are not Tx: the elders
in conduct-the older people were
really to blame People living in
glass houses should refrain from
tossing the .proverbial stone.
The young people of every age
have shocked their elders and the
actions of the young have always
been a topic for critical conversation.
The young know only the urge to be
away and doing. This is the restless
age and often the young do not get
square deal.
The speaker said that sometimes
we are told the young are irreyeant.
Whose fault is it? She placed the
blame on the elders. The world has
been widening, science has been
reaching out and the thought of the
world has been changing. the minds
of the young coming along with the
new ideas. So many new innovations
have arrived that it is no wonder
both young and old are floundering.
The family life of the olden days is
practically gone. The radio, the tele-
phone, the automobile, the movies,
have brought new world
The young Go not set social stan
dards, they inherit them. they accept
what they find. Although the chap
erone is gone and many of the ideas
of the past are no longer entertained.
yet the speaker thought the young of
today were just as good and would
make just as great success in life
as those who lived in the age Of our
parents and grandparents.
At the close of the discussion, with
Miss Gretli Gattiker at the piano,
Mrs. Snyder gave number of solos,
greatly appreciated by the company,
The numbers were followed by com
munity singing.
Mr.. and Mrs. F. B Griggs will en-
terrain the next meeting.
