Hastings homestead, she can serve corn-on-
the-cob, peaches and Strawberries.
Jim, too, is getting break from science.
After the war he's going to invest in small
garden tractor, and this viii enable him to
take it easy while plowing ground, spraying
fruit trees, saving wood and doing other
chores. He will speed up his construction by
using prefabricated building materials
Like thousands Of back yard Victory Gar
deners, Jim has discovered that it isn't as
hard to produce food as it used to be. This is
partly due to new labor-saving tools and
machinery, and partly to other scientific
advances. Fertilizers have been improved.
Livestock breeding is more scientific. Disease
and pest control is more sure

feel they can find their greatest fun in put
tering around little place in the country.
Today fine roads lance out into the country
side from all our big cities and. once we get
on wheels again, it will be no great task for
the 4O-hom-a-week worker to spin 40 or so
miles to and from his job. When the cheap
plane or helicopter comes in. we may expect
rurbanization to extend still farther out.
Meanwhile, other scientific discoveries
are making rural living more convenient
and attractive than ever before.
Just before the war, for instance, Jim's
wife wisely invested $l2 in pressure cooker.
This ingenious implement has enabled her to
can meats and non-acid vegetables which she
could not have put up safely by old methods.
After the war she is going to buy home

they can rent it for $50 or $65 a month, and
travel bit.
These personal reasons which Jim Hastings
gave me for going rurban are sound ones, and
they will apply in thousands of other cases as
the postwar world gets under way In addi-
ton to the growing desire for outdoor recrea-
tional facilities and added security, several
other basic reasons underlie the great trend
toward rurbanization.
One of the most important of these is the
time factor. During century of industrializa-
ton, countless country folk moved into our
cities and stayed there only because they were
slaves of the clock. They had to live near
their jobs because working hours were long,
transportation slow.
But in the future the 4O-hour week seems
sure to become general, and it may be re-
duced to 36 or even 30 hours. Millions will
have more time for recreation and many will

l93Os and he hasn't got the faltr IN )OOS,
paper investments or even money itself that
he once had; but he knows land is real.
Added Security
MILLIONS of city people agree with Jim on
this point A patch of ground in the coun-
try, they feel, will give them added security.
Some will start by building little house after
they have paid for the land, and add to it
or make improvements gradually as they can
afford it - perhaps new room one year,
heating plant the next, a garage later on -
always with the thought that they will have
the place completed by the time they retire.
Many people will use their country places
only for recreation. Others. like Jim, will de-
eide their wisest course is that of becoming
full-time rurbanites.
Jim earns $50 week as salesman. In
town he spent approximately 20 per cent OF
this - SIS month - for apartment rental.
His place in the country cost him 5000,
of which he was required to put down $1,000
in cash. Now he is paying off the balance
under 2O-year amortization plan He sends
SIG. 40 month to his bank; this covers taxes,
insurance, interest and payment on principal.
Fuel and transportation to and from his job
cost him $50 month Thus, while paying
his place of, he is spending just about
the same for shelter - approximately
$3.50 a year as he spent in town.
He figures he saves that much by raising
his own groceries Last year his garden. berry
bushes and fruit trees yielded all the fruit
and vegetables his family could use. His flock
of chickens kept them provided with fresh
eggs, broilers and roasting fowls. Teema,
the pure-bred Nubian goat which Jim milks
every morning and evening, was worth net
Saving of $50 year on the family milk bill.
..Nicer Way 10 Be Dxelss"
IHEN there is still another important way
in which Jim is being thrifty. BY improving
his house and land he is adding substan-
tally to the value of his investment. That
vegetable cellar which he is having such
fun building, for example, would have cost
at least $500 for professional job. He has
also constructed screened summer kitchen
and built guest room in the attic.
These things take money as well as work"
Jim explained, ''and I'm usually just as broke
as l was in town, but it's nicer way to be
broke When you put your spare cash into
young fruit trees, fertilizer, lumber, cement
or tools to use in improving your property,
you don't feel the same way about it that you
would if you frittered the money away in
night clubs"
Jim reckons that by the time he gets his
place fixed up, and has his payments COM
pleted, it will be worth $1,000. When that
day comes" he told me, 'I'll feel like real
lord of the manor, not just another white
collar guy Should ever lose my job or have
a long illness, we could get by on darned
little cash"

Racial Aaitation

Since the declaration of war we
have consistently advocated un-
lty of our people as an essen
tial element 20 an eerly victory
over our enemies. We have never
sought the headlines in the ra-
cial disturbances which have
been brought on as an inevitable
result of this war. The history of
ali wars reveals that in time of
war minerities, including racial,
cspitalistie and labor, attempt to
strengthen their positions, often
at the expense of the country
which is engaged in defending
itself from q foreign foe. Never
theless, there are times when one
is justified in advising the peo-
Pie whom he represents Of the
uend ct things which threaten
the future of the common country
for which we ali strive. We have
repeatedly pointed out on the
floor of the House and in this
column some OF these trends end
the objective sought by those
who would bring about social
snd economic revolutions in the
country by taking advantage of
national emergencies such as
this war.
