THE MACHINE NOT THE
ENEMY OF MAN

In recent article, DR.. James
S. Thomas, of the Common
wealth and Southern Corpora
ton, analysed the machines
effect on mankind.
DR.. Thomas deductions are
quite different from those OF
the critics of the machine, who
blame it for all the ills of man
kind from the Flood to the
World War. He shows that it
constitutes the basis of our
modern economic world-that
it has liberated men from ar
duous tasks, not enslaved
them; that during most of it's
brief history, it has created
employment, not unemplOy-
ment; that it has cut down &C
cidents, not increased them;
that it makes for wealth, COM
fort and a finer civilization,
not a poorer one.
During a recent period in
American history, $4,000
people were displaced from
Jobs because of increased me-
chanical efficiency-and at the
same time new trades and pro-
fessions, largely resulting from
the machine, gave jobs to g.
537, 900 directly and 100000
indirectly. In 40 years we in
creased our national income
from $400,O00,OOO to $8O,OOO,-
100000, and our national veal
tn from $500,O00,OOO to $685.
0O,0O0,000 because of the
machine.
The machine, after all, is
simply a medium to make use
OF natural forces. 1t is part of
evolution-an inevitable step
in the march of the world from
the Stone Age to the present
and to whatever may be in the
future. And, after the debts
and credits have all been en-
tered, and the cancellations
made, it is found that the ma
chine has been the friend, not
the enemy, of "the common
man."

HOW WYOMING GOT GOOD
ROADS

Some time ago the Wyoming
Highway Commission was in a
dilemma. The state needed
more and better highways, but
there were insufficient funds
Tor the large highway mileage
requirements.
The problem was solved by
constructing the newly-devel-
oped. low-cost, bituminous-sur-
faced roads that are satisfac-
tory in every respect. They
are capable of carrying a heavy
volume of traffic, and are i'm
pervious to weather. Main
tenance cost, as we'll as first
cost. is extremely low.
Wyoming is not the only
state that is improving its road
system in this manner. Many
states and a long list of coun-
ties and municipalities have
found the advantage of asphalt
tic surfaces. They are eco
nomical, long-wearing and SER
viceable. They are particular
ly valuable for farm-to-market
roads where year-round trans
port is needed and economy is
vital.
Science has found the solu-
ton for the dad roads" prob
lem. There is no longer any
excuse for the kind of high
ways" that become a series of
impossible mud holes during,
bad weather.

The only way to stop the
rising cost of government is
for our citizens to vote No on
every candidate or measure
standing for increased taxes
through enlarged government
al activity, bond issues and cost
burdens to be heaped upon the
public.
Cecil county voters will have
chance in November to vote
NO on a proposed $1,OOO,OOO
road bond issue, that was fore
edthrough the last Legislature
by Senator Williams, despite
the efforts of the solid Cecil
delegation in the House to de-
feat it.
T his proposed $1,00O,O0O
bond issue appears ON the bal
lot in the form of a referen-
dunn, and if the voters of Cecil
county want their tax rate in
creased, a sure way to do it is
to vote to ratify this proposed
bond issue. If you are oppos-
ed to an increase in your taxes,
vote against the measure.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK

Through out the entire coun-
try Fire Prevention Week will
be observed October 9-15. The
week has been designated offic-
tally by President Hoover for
educational activities TO reduce
preventable loss by fire. The
second week in October is al
ways chosen as Fire Proven
ton Week because it marks
the anniversary of the great
Chicago fire of 1871.
Last year the total fire loss
of the nation was opproxi-
mately $478,OOO,000 as COM
pared with $3.50, 100000 in 1880
and thus far this year there
has been a further decrease as
compared with the correspond
ing period Of 1881. The Ma
tional Fire Waste Council and
the Insurance Department of
the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States, which are
jointly conducting a nation
wide fire prevention program,
believe that through continued
coordinated effort further pro-
gress can be made. Americas
fire losses are still far in excess
of those sustained by European
countries and let-up in activ-
ity at this time would undoubt-
edly make the margin of differ
ence even greater. In a state
ment concerning the activities
to be carried on during Fire
Prevention Week, the Chamber
of Commerce of the United
States says:
Through the observance of
Fire Prevention Week, every
community has an unusual OPP
pOrtunity to benefit itself and
the country as a, whole. 1t the
fire waste of the country is to
be further reduced, each COM
munity must make it's contri-
button, as the total losses, of
the nation are the aggregate of
losses sustained in every city,
town and village in the entire
country.
There is no selfish interest
in the fire prevention move
ment. Its goal is the conser-
walton of life and property
from needless destruction"

MORE EDUCATION in DRIV-
ING URGED


More education in driving.
supplemented by liberal and
reasonable regulation, by en-
lightened highway building,
limited car use and the employ
ment of all known means of di-
recting mentality correctly, are
advocated for better motoring
safety by Robbins B. Stoeckel.
Connecticut Commissioner of
Motor Vehicles.
Man is the factor that must
be considered, first and fore
most. according to Mr.. Stock
Ell, who declares that 80 per
cent OF drivers are good traffic
performers and that education
should be revised and extended
to reach the other 10 per cent.
Systematic study probably
would result in a better hand
ling OF the situation, he said.
and man must be induced to
educate himself, both as a ped
estrlan and as an operator.
NOT only must he know the
rules OF conduct, but he must
also cultivate and exercise his
will to abide by them. In this
connection he said that all de-
vices to assist correct thinking
in emergencies should be en-
ployed.

SAVE A LIFE CAMPAIGN


Virginia and the District of
Columbia will join Maryland
this year in what is to be a
tri-State Save : Life Cam
paign, which will run from
October Is to November 80, E.
Austin Baughman, Commits
sioner of Motor Vehicles an
nounced.
Preparations for this Cam
paign are now completed in all
three States, Colonel Baugh-
man said.
Approximately $4,000 cars
will be inspected for mechani-
cal defects" the Commissioner
explained. I'm Maryland it is
planned to provide more than
1000 official stations for the
convenience of the motorists.
Although this inspection is
required by Law, I want to ap-
peal to all mitorists to coop
crate fully in this activity,
which is being conducted for
their own benefit.
II wish to stress the fact
that the mechanical condition
of the automobile is a most i'm
pOrtant factor in the reduction
of accidents. Although motor
lists with poor equipment
should realize this fact and
drive accordingly, human ma
ture is such that it becomes
necessary by compulsory in
spection to require the motor
list to keep his vehicle in safe
shape.
while the National Confer
ence on Street and Highway
Safety states that about Is per
cent of the accidents are caus-
ed by mechanical defects, that
is not the whole story. When
prev iCuj inspection records in
licate that a third of the
brakes were in unsafe condi-
ton and a half of the head
lights were faulty, it is obvious
that fan more than Is per cent
could tie prevented by safe
equipment.
1.-THE seriousness of this
problem becomes evident when
we consider that 100000 tons
OF steel are carrying 100000
persons over the streets and
highways of these three states
at speeds from 20 to 20 miles
per hour.
'Such potential and actual
force must be controlled. This
can be done by keeping such
things as brakes, tires, lights
and steering mechanism in
safe condition.
"If motorists will anticipate
this inspection and carry out
promptly all requirements, it
will save them a great deal of
time and inconvenience.

FEDERAL FARM BOARD
HAS HELPED FARMERS

The Federal Farm Board has
enabled the cooperatives in the
Northeastern States, by assist
ance with men and loans, to
market the product of their
farmer members more effec-
lively. In the face of many
failures of business enterpris-
es, it is significant that no fail
ures of important cooperatives
have occurred in this area;
rather cooperative marketing
has increased in membership
and volume of products mar
keted.
The major assistance given
by the Federal Farm Board has
been to assist in the organiza-
ton of cooperative associa-
tons, to carry on research
work in cooperative market
ing, to study the business prob
lens of cooperatives and to
give advice and assistance in
meeting these problems. Six
ty-three projects dealing with
one or more of the above prob
lens have been carried or or
are under way in the North
eastern States. 1t is estimated
that these projects are benefit
ing more than 100000 farmers
in that region.
A complete survey of the CO.
operatives in this area was one
of the early projects of the
Farm Board. The state COL
leges, including extension
workers, and state depart
ments of agriculture cooperat-
ed in this work. Accurate in
formation regarding member
ship, volume of business, finan-
cial status and marketing
methods of all of the associa-
lions in the region was obtain
ed. The information thus as
sembled has been exceedingly
valuable to cooperatives in
their further development. 1t
has enabled them to adopt
those methods which by exper-
fence have proved profitable
and adaptable to their condi-
tons. This is the only section
OF the country in which a per-
sonal visit has been made to
every active cooperative by a
representative of the Board.
Cooperatives in the North
eastern States have made a
showing during the past three
years of which they may we'll
be proud. The Board believes
that it has contributed in some
degree to this favorable show
ing during a period of unpar-
alleled economic difficulties.
The assistance of the Board, it
must be remembered, can be
extended only through cooper
atives. The Farm Board ex-
poets that this service will be
continued and enlarged to meet
the needs Of the growing CO.
operative movement. It is
available to all producers in all
regions of the United States
Whenever they desire to or
ganize cooperative marketing
associations and are in a posi-
ton to make use of the services
of the Board.

written another similar volume
called Normal Youth and Its

1t is a very wise and sane
discussion of that most harasS-

recommended to parents. DR..
Thorn describes adolescence as
a normal phase through which
all children pass, and regards
the disturbing conduct of youth
as being a series of normal
reactions to particular environ
mental situations, and feels it
should be so regarded rather
than as a serious problem. He
lays down principles of guild

prevent the ordinary reactions
of youth to a new world from
becoming serious maladjust-
