Hal. Boyle
Says

NEW YORK R-If the world Of
today has you down, folks, just
hold on-the world of tomorrow
will be better.
A designing young man named
Paul Wrablica, whose job is to
help create new industrial products
better geared to the needs Of man
kind, says that in 10 years our
civilization will be more fun for
everybody in the family-mama,
papa, and all their little two-legged
tax deducts.
First, let US take up Wrablica's
vista of JOY for Dad a decade
hence:
"The average man, because of
greater production efficiency, will
work only 30 hours a week-and
for more pay than he gets now.
"This will give him longer week
ends, more leisure to enjoy the
hobbies he likes. And their cost
will come down. Suppose he likes
sailing. Motor boats and sailboats
will be nodded from a single
piece Of plastic, as the bodies of
some cars are now.
THAT long wearisome ride from
his job in the city to his home in
the suburbs won't take so long.
He'll speed there in a fraction of
the present time in a jet-propelled
monorail train.
Even the parking problem will
be solved to some extent with
smaller cars and more automatic
multi-level garages"
The housewife will have it even
BETTER if the view in Wrablica's
crystal ball is clear:
"Most homes will be air-condi.
toned the year around. This
means less homework. There will
be no danger of falling down
stairs. There won't be many stairs.
They will be replaced by elevators
or inclined planes.
"The need for maids will practi-
cally disappear. The kitchen will
become less important, because
families will eat out more in res.
taurants that are truly homelike.
There will be little formal enter.
tanning in the home.
Wives complain today about
having to push or carry a heavy
vacuum cleaner around. That won't
be necessary at all. A woman will
be able to plug a hose into an
ordinary wall outlet and-zip-the
dust will be sucked down into a
disposal unit in the basement.
Wives will have more and more
time to spend caring for their chill

WHAT CONSTITUTES LIBEL, LAND GRAB
LOCAL BILL STATE FUNDS

How critical can a newspaper be about the way an
attorney conducts his in court? County Solicitor
Marsh who had charge of the prosecution in the Cothron
Bateman in Key West is suing the Miami Herald
libel for of the things it said about him during the
trial.
That's matter for the courts to decide but it does
not stop us from expressing our attitude Our sympathy
wholly with Marsh when he said State Attorney Nc
Even was ungracious in his comments the way the
conducted in view of the fact he had been
vted by Marsh to participate in the prosecution but
sympathy is wholly with the Herald in Marshs libel suit
What constitutes libel? Stripped of its me-long legal
red tape false statements that ncie tend to ncte the
public against the party injured Any lawyer will tell
you it's hard to prove libel unless the charges fla
GRAVITY false. Now here some false charges:
L. The Herald said that the bill that provides for
the reveron to Monroe county taxpayers of acreage
the Overseas Road and Toll Bridge District "loca
False It general BILL (See Chapter 24251 Laws of
Florida, 1919
2-The Herald referred to the reversion as Gland
grab" False You don't grab anything that belongs
YOU The taxpayers of Monroe county bought that land
from the Florida East Coast Railway Further they also
bought the railway conpanys right of way, which they
willing to transfer to the State Road Department.
s. The Herald spoke about estate funds in con-
nection with the Overseas Road and Toll Bridge District
False The taxpayers in Dade any other county in the
state except Monroe did not provide penny of the

Guiding their homes to get the money from the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation
This acreage which John Kilgore called "land
grab, was referred to similarly in editorial in the
Herald You would think if you didn't know better when
read the Herald story and editorial that state tax
payers whole provided of the funds to acquire
the and that therefore, should be returned
them But the big hitch is you can't return anything to
anybody who had never owned it in part in whole
Kigore and the Herald spoke about "agree-
ment majority of the Overseas Bridge Commission had
made to GIVE the to the State Road Department
when the bonds retired Aside from clause in the
bond ndenture that prohibited the commissioners from
entering into any such agreement wherein did they get
the power to take such acton They appointed by
the then governor (Caldwe) but he didn't give them
the power And the power not inherent in them And
surely they could agree legally to give acreage
that bought by all the taxpayers of Monroe county
The Citizen doesn't know if the Herald's story and
editorial melted anybody into believing the people of
Monroe land grabbers, except w. NJ. Egan. He
went to Tallahassee and according to Kgore, spoke
about bringing taxpayers suit against the transfer" of
the acreage Monroe What taxpayers Does Egan think

AS the child grows older, he
must adjust himself to the dis
cipline demanded by the customs
and modes of society. The basic
conflict between his innate, ag-
gressive drives and the inhibitory
distractions of adult society must
be successfully sublimated. Par
ents can be of invaluable assist
ance in helping their children
make satisfactory adjustments be-
tween their own selfish desires
and the larger need of the COM
munity, state and nation.
Teaching children a sense of
responsibility to others must, of
course, be accompanied by emo
tional security and carefully SUI
pervised freedom of expression.
The child who is loved and want
ed, who knows that he can re-
treat to the haven of the family
while learning life's painful les
sons, will have little difficulty in
growing into a mature, well-ad-
justed, socially-conscious adult.
The first five or six years of
child's life are the most vital to
his future welfare. These are the
years spent almost entirely in the
home, far removed from the in
fluence of school, church and
community organization. Beyond
improving the general cultural
environment, it is to the parents
we must look for the training and
guidance that will enable
the child to thread his way
through the pitfalls of youth and
adolescence, fully prepared to
take his place on the complex
adult world of the goth Century.
Solutions to the challenging prob
lem of juvenile delinquency, thep
lie largely in the direction of
Strengthening all aspects of fam
lily life.
Share Activities
Few delinquent children, for in
stance, are found in families that
share their leisure activities. IN
tunately, this practice is not wide
spread among American families
today. A Detroit study showed
that only one boy in IL had par
ents who regularly joined in this
way; yet wholesome recreation,
undertaken by the family as a
group, is one of the most effective
deterrents to delinquency.
But strengthening the family
entails far more than this. All
the resources of the school, the
church, welfare agencies, civic,
service and fraternal organiza-
tons, community councils, and
juvenile court agencies should be
trained on the goal of family in
tegration. And not only the par
ents of this generation, but each
generation of prospective mothers
and fathers must be instructed in
ethical and spiritual principles of
conduct, as well as in the ele-
ments of physical and mental n.y.
giene.
An important field for imme-
diate actions is the preparation
for marriage. Studies have shown
that most juvenile sex offenders
are either utterly ignorant or
grossly misinformed of sexual
matters. This indicates a failure
of schools and of parents (many

Facts OF State

The explanation for this differ.
ences is that our families are lare.
er than the average for the res
of the country. AS matter of fact
North Carolina is second only Il
South Carolina in the Largest
number of persons per family OF
any state.
The North Carolina per capita
figure. of $7l6.43 is 67.8O per cen,
of the National per capita figure
of S1,056.65. In view of the fact
that North Cardinals share of the
National per capita income is IS
per cent, this would indicate that
North Carolina people spend a
larger share OF their per capita
income in retail sales than do the
people of the entire country. This
difference is further illustrated by
the fact that North Cardinals tot
al income payments are LII per
cent of the National total, where
as North Cardinals total retail
sales are 1872 per cent of the Ma
tional total.
There were As counties which
had smaller total retail sales dur
ing the 1854 year than during 1859.
Hoke had the largest decrease of
any county, II per cent. This de-
crease in total retail sales from
1928 was from 1851 in 1852
50 to $4,686 for l953-54. Hoke
dropped in rank from 80 last year
to 81 this year. Caswell was fol-
lowing a close second with a de-
crease in total retail sales of 1875
per cent.
Yancey county had the largest
increase of any county, jumping
from S3,l460,OO to S4,l52, 900, an
increase of about 80 per cent.
Yancey also moved UP in rank

Johnson Pushes Anti-Bu Bill
Cardinals Used to Promote
Beer Sales, Senators Told

Senator Edwin c. johnson,
Democrat. of Colorado warned
today that baseball will lose it's
appeal as a popular national
sport if the big league teams are
bought by and used to promote
other industries.
He went before a Senate Judi
ciary subcommittee in support
of his resolution to bring under
the antitrust laws any ball club
purchased by a company pro-
ducing alcoholic beverages.
Such a provision, it is generally
agreed, would drive these inter-
ests out of baseball.
Following the hearing, Senator
johnson, who is president of the
Glass A Western League, said he
would amend the legislation to
apply to ball clubs bought by
any corporation which is itself
subject to antitrust laws. The
Supreme Court last winter re-
fused to order organized baseball
brought under existing antitrust
laws.
Senator johnson aimed most
of his testimony at the purchase
of the st. Louis Cardinals by
August A. Busch of the An
heuser Busch Brewing Co.
