We Do Not Mix AS In
The Long-Ago

Has it occurred to you that,
as people become more civiliz-
ed, they keep more to them
selves?" Our generation does
not mix as much as was the
custom years ago. It's a con-
Trajectory state of affairs, that
the trail becomes more lonesome
for the Individual as life gets
more complex and population
more congested.
This tendency is strongest, of
course, in large cities. But it is
noticeable also in the small
communities and on the farms.
People occasionally congregate
and pool their pleasures, but not
as often nor as enthusiastically
as in the past.
About this time of year, gen
erations back, the cracker-bar-
rel philosophers were discussing
national politics at the cross
roads store. They knew each
other intimately. Deception
was next to impossible, for the
simple life has fewer opportuni-
ties for concealment.
Another famous congregating
place was the livery stable. A
third was the bar. Periodically
there were husking bees, corn
roasts, clam bakes, quilting bees.
sewing circles, church So
cials, and so on.
Today such gatherings are
few, compared with long ago.
Life has become rushed and
complex. People are too busy
hustling about their business,
speeding in autos, hurrying to
dark movie theaters, playing
with radios.
We are becoming a race OF
isolationists. We keep to our
immediate family circle, have
fewer outside friends. Especial
ly IN cities, where families even
i've in the same building for
years without ever knowing each
other. u
In the more primitive past,
people hungered for compan-
ionship. Life was simple.
knowledge was limited. The
craving for relief from monot-
ony was second only to the de-
sire for exchange of ideas.
In those times. people had to
associate intimately and frank
iy'sto learn what was going on
IN the world and to get the 9th
er fellows viewpoint. @a
Now, instead of spending an
evening at the store discussing
what Niagara Falls is like, we
hop into our separate flivvers
and set forth to see it in per
son.
Our generation has less ply
steal companionship, but it is
more firmly cemented b y great
er mental companionship than
in the past. We, in effect, con-
gregate and exchange ideas
through newspapers and maya,
zines by radio, and by attend
ing movies.
In thus getting our mutual
companionship second-handed.
we lose much-especially the
human side Let civilization de-
velop to its logical conclusion.
and well have race of people
keeping as much to themselves
as turtles in their shells.
