Doesn't Look Like River Road Area
Will Be Deserted: Trailers Come, 60

OF what is occurring.
I browsed around among the
camps along the old highway this
week and found that for every
trailer owner who had left for the
North Richland area, new trailer
had moved in.
In most camps. conditions re-
manned crowded. Some camps had
too many trailers and actually
wanted to get rid of some, but new
trailerites coming in had to have
some place to light, and they gen.
orally were able to talk the own
er into renting space
After all, paying $500 a week
for trailer space and the facilities
which 60 along isn't such bad
deal when you compare it with
the rents being paid by Richland
and construction workers who are
outside the Richland Village.
"That guy that pays $45 month
for half a tent house must be easy
or something" one trailer owner
said. 81 should think he would
get a trailer"
Anyway, there certainly was no
proof up along the River Road
that that area would suddenly be-
come a barren waste or would be
given over again to agriculture.
Trailer camps and cabin camps
were being improved, although
some still were not up to par. A
few persons were moving out
some because they could get gov
eminent homes In Richland. Some
were moving their trailers to No.
Richland, but the trailer popula-
ton appeared to be remaining the
same.
''Nope, I don't think everybody
is going to pull up and leave here"
said another trailer owner. II
think this Is more or less . per-
manent comnuni.y-a sort OF

pie who seem to want everybody

belief upon, for we could see little

we had been discussing.

People Continue
To Show Interest
In School, Church

One of the reasons that leads
us to retain faith in the ultimate
salvation of what we call the hui
man race is the interest shown
in the churches and schools of
the United States.
Go into almost any community
in this great Republic and you
will find that the people who
count are interested in their
church and school life. They act
lively engage in the support of
education and they participate in
the worship of their churches.
Moreover, they give financial
support to both institutions.
With the school leading us to
a greater intelligence and with
the churches giving us a vision
of greater goodness, there is
hope for the people of the ma
ton. 1t will be a sad day when
this ceases to be the truth.
Now, among those who read
this article, will be some who
have shown very little interest
IN educational and religious act
ivities. These people seldom stop
to realize that most of what they
have and much of what they are
represent the product of the two
institutions that they carelessly
ignore.

Indignation of the delegates and
the choice of Mr.. Ware the
Governor of California, was re-
ceived with enthusiasm by the
convention. :"
Actually, this never happen
ed. There was no "Old Guard"
at the Republican Convention in
any proportions that might be
called significant. The nominal
ton of Dewey and Warren was
fairly predicated in advance, al
though there was some doubt
as to whether Governor Warren
would accept for personal rather
than political reasons which he
made clear when he was offered
the nomination. The protagonists
of Harold Stassen and Senator
Vandenberg hoped, at best that
they could porduce a Stop

terest, and having discovered
that that was impossible, after
the second ballot, they produced
a united front in high manner
and in a good spirit.
AS for the Republican vice
presidential candidacy, there
never question of "Old Guard"
or ''isolationists" or "interna-
tionalists." Warren was the logi-
cal choice, no matter who was
nominated for the Presidency,
accept himself. Had he. for
some reason, been given the
presidential nomination, it would
have been quite task to choose
a vice-president and it might

For over a hundred years op-
timlsts and pessimists have been
debating the issue most vital to
the human race-namely whe-
Their this planet can nourish its
inhabitants.
At the beginning of the nine
tenth century, an English econ
omlst, Thomas Nautilus, who had
been brought up among pro
gressives"- his father was a
friend of Rousseau and fol-
lower of Condorcet and God
win, who believed in ''inevit-
able" progress-came to "A pes
simistic conclusion, for which
he produced challenging evid-
ence. He said that population,
when unchecked, increases in
geometrical ratio, while SUBJ
sistence increases only in arith-
metic ratio, so that population
tends to outrun subsistence until
it is checked by war, famine,
pestilence, and the degenerat;ve
influences of vice and misery.
In our century Malthusianism
has appeared be as dead as
Methuselah. The nineteenth
century saw the colonization ct
new areas, and agriculture
science helped increase food pro-
duction. The ascending Marxists
also denounced Nautilus, attri-
buting shortages entirely to faul-

ty social organization. And, in
general, Nautilus has not yet
been proved right.
.Bpt it is significant that a
symposium of natural scientists
at the centenary meeting Of the
American Association for the
Advancement of Science took, in
general, the view of Nautilus.
They insisted that not even the
atomic bomb presented so great
a problem to mankind as over
population plus the dwindliny
of resources.
Men everywhere must face
the prospect of the conserva-
ton of natural resources and the
limitation of population or con-
tinue on the path toward self
destruction" said Professo
Stanley A. Cain. DR.. Fairfield
Osborn warned that in the last
three centuries the population
of the earth has increased from
four hundred million to over
two billion and that, at the pre-
sent rate, it may top three bill

Everyone Has
A Chance To Help
Community Along

Every citizen of Roanoke RAJ
pids has an opportunity to pro-
mote its development by making
a distinct personal contribution
to the life of the community.
This does not require that one
be rich or even we'll to-do. All
that is needed is for the indivi-
dual to realize that the welfare of
every citizen can be improved as
a result of multiplied unseItlsh-
ness.
We do not advocate, of course,
that a citizen entirely forget self
interest or that anybody neglect
his, or her, business and inter-
ests. Volunteering some of your
time, or a little of your money,
for a public purpose is entirely
compatible with every demand of
absolute individualism.

New York, Sept, 20-Since
Bubblehead Wallace's gibbering
evasion of the question whether
he wrote the goofy Guru letters,
l have obtained copies of two
other, fine examples of the alb
surdity which pervades the en-
tire series. l handled the origin
ais of these two and faithfully
typed the copies which I will pre-
sent herewith after some intro
ductory discussion.
While I was at it I examined
closely the originals of the SER
les which I published in these
essays last winter. AS this was
the first time l had had access
to them l compared my photo
graphs with those originals. l
learned from the person who
owns them that these are the
same letters which were made
available to several publishers in
1914, when bubblehead was
Franklin D. Roosevelt's hand
picked candidate for vice-rpesi-
dent.
l am now ready to take care
of Wallace any time he dares
to deny that he wrote this his
toric nonsense. He knows that if
he ever accepts the challenge I
would show him up as the most
alarming fool who ever happened
into such high office as he held,
since the days of the half-wit
kings in Europe. After all those
Royal idiots could be restrained
but if Roosevelt had died during
his third term we would have had
a President who had been the
butt of the esoteric circle on
Riverside Drive, laughed at and
egged on for the amusement that
he gave by his solemn absurdity.
At the time / wrote about
Bubblehead's completely in the
affairs of the Josshouse l was
prepared to defend all that 1
alleged. But since then, l have
extended and strengthened my
acquaintance among persons who
were there. And the one who
most heartily resents his betray-
al of Roerich while he was in
Asia and his conspiracy to help
Louis L. Horch grab title to the
lamasery for himself, is a figure
of terror to Henry.
And the owner of the original
letters in ready to face Wallace
any time he is ready to face the
issue.

FALLS DOWN THE BASE
MENT STEPS?
(A) A housewife told her hus-
band that the light bulb over
the basement stairs had burned
out. He said he would replace it
but somehow Just never got
around to it." One morning the
laundress, cautiously feeling her
way down the dark steps, lost
her footing and fell. When she
sued her employers for damages
they protested that she should
have been more careful. But the
court made them pay for their
neglect in not replacing the
bulb, The judge pointed ont
that the laundress had been as
careful as possible under the
