Human Side of News
BH Edwir C. Hill

} The present amphibian houses
haven't their own power yet, but
that Is definite possibility, and
also joker, in that dream of
happy, elemental SuStenance, close
to nature-a dream which runs as
steadily and deep in our racial
consciousness as the river itself.
How to pay for the gas?
Mechanized farming progressed in
the boom years, but, when the de-
preston hit, it was only rich men
who we're able to support the old
farm in the style to which it had
been accustomed. The general run
of farmers had to go back to
horses.
Neutrality-suspicious. to our
years of tnflation-we float. But
sooner or later we reach the gulf,
and then we have to get tow to
higher ground or spend money for
gas. One could go on like this
forever, as girl says to boy in the
movies as they float down the
enchanted stream.
But, putting aside the dream
pipe, these new amphibian houses
are one of almost daily reminders
Of the flexibility and adaptability
Of our machine civilization. Moth
ing, in the view of this writer, is
more fallaciouS than the common
observation that our command of
new energies is making a rigid,
muscle e-bound. inadaptable civiliza-
ton.
In fact, the whole story of mod
ern technology is an account of
amazingly swift and adroit adap-
tation-and that's pretty nearly the
whole story of human survival.
For quite a few thousand years
the ancient Egyptians met the
flood problem by system of hit
and-run agriculture. When the
waters subsidized, they moved down
to the river bank. grew quick-time
crops on the rich silt Of the river,
with a swift getaway when the
waters were roaring again. But
their homes had to be away off,
on remote, high, dry ground. The
working farmers were just camp
ing out.
The householder in one of
these new steel houses can place
his trust in a good, stout anchor.
The chain locker is one thing that
Johnny mustn't monkey with.
The door must always be un-
locked so the maid may press a
button and get the old hook in
the mud when flood stage hits the
front yard. This isn't all fantasy.
