the Finance Companies and the relative out

also from the reduction in sales of certain motor
car manufacturers during 1854. However, dur

crease in financing of other manufacturers
and thereby has obtained greater diversified

If thus approved, each stock

viously owned. All shares have
a par value of $40.
The stock dividend is being

from accumulated earnings and
will enable the bank to serve
better its customers and the
community.
1t is indicated that the doubled
amount of stock will be placed on

severely limited in retailing.
Customers want to look at
merchandise, examine it and
talk about it.
You work in nioSf Of the trans
p0rfafi0H fields. Machines still
cannot, nor in the. foreSeeable
future will ever replace the taxi.
bus or truck driver. Automo-
tive. railroad and airplane
maintenance crews won't be
affected either.
You work in nsOsf Of the pro-
feSsiORS. No machine has yet
been invented which cancrosS-
examine a witness, diagnose an
illness and write a prescription,
drill a tooth and fill a cavity,
design a house. write a poem
or play Hamlet.
You work on a farm. Agricul-
ture certainly will use auto
matically controlled devices.
Raw food materials doubtless
will be produced chemically.
But agriculture will not be
automatic in the sense that
the need for people will be
radically reduced.
You are in the service field.
Nobody seriously anticipates
machines which. by themselves,
can fix door locks, cut hair.
lacquer fngernails. install storm

These fields, according to

account for more than Sc per

excluding the armed forces.

Office or factory, automation
probably means you will see
changes going on about you.
1t may mean you will have to

Manufacturing unquestion-
ably will lean more and more
heavily upon automatic
machinery, eliminating dull.

Repetitive Office work, when in

Richard L. Meier, of the
University of Chicago, in a
recent study listed the indus
tries he believes ripe for auto
nation. They are:
Bakery products, beverages,
confectionery, rayon, knitgoods,
paperboard containers, printing,
chemicals, petroleum refining,
glass products, cement, agricul-
tural machinery, miscellaneous
machinery, communications and
limited-price retailing. Automa-
ton has already made inroads
in some of these.
But will the dislocations,
when they do occur, be cata-
clysmic? Will millions of per-
sons suddenly find themselves
jobless? OF course not, for
these reasons:
I. Automatic factories will not
be WOvkeriess factories. The
atomic processing plant on the
Savannah River. operated by
a few girls sitting at control
panels, employs hundreds of
maintenance men. Even in a
fully automatic factory, nu-
merouS personnel are required
for maintenance, installation,
service and many other tasks
not directly a part Of produc-
ton. These workers will be
employed at higher levels and
earn more money.
2. Very few Offices will be en-
ire!y automatic. Automatic
machines will prepare payrolls,
compile sales records, compute
bills, make sales analyses, reg
lister orders and keep inventory.
But the day-to-day operations
Of businesses will still require
secretaries, stenographers, re-
ceptionists, Office boys, etc.
3. Nofhing drastic will happen
overnight. There is a story that
while Walter Reuther, CLIO.
and United Auto Workers
president, was visiting the auto
matte Ford plant in Cleveland,
a Ford official pointed to some
new machines and asked:
How are you going to collect
union dues from those guys?"

piled: ''How are you going to

Spring is just around the next snow
drift and I'll bet you just can't wal
to start full scale field operations. IT,
the season when the feel of newly
thawed earth, the cry of kilIdeer Oh
the sight of a new born calf erase tht
memory of failures and disappoint
ments in the past and make farming
and ranching the best profession under
the sun.
Whoa now! Let's just take one more
backward look before we sail into the
job ahead.
You know, we in America are the
most generously endowed with natural
resources of any people on earth. We
have also exploited these resources to
the greatest extent of any people on
earth. We Americans, with our restless
pioneer spirit, rolled across this nation
from east to west and turned wilder
ness into the most highly developed
nation in the world and we did this
faster than it has ever been done in the
history of man.
But now we find there is no place
to move on to. We have explored every
nook and Granny of this land of ours.
So, we turn around and survey our
trail This is it. This must do for us
and the future millions we expect in
the years ahead. Looking back over
our trail we find that in our haste
we were wastefuI Much of our farm
land has lost its ability to produce
through unwise use; many of our noun
tains have been denuded by unwise tim
bering operations; and lots of our
rangelands are growing weeds and
other unpalatabIe vegetation because of
improper range management. Our
rivers and streams are flooding due to
the inability of our denuded watersheds
to retain the water as they used to.
True, we do have SURPRISES of manv
agricultural products That's only a
temporary condition. At the rate we
are going production and population
demands will be equal in less than 20
years. A drouth cycle could do the Job
much more quickly. To maintain or in
crease production we must reverse
the present trend of declining fertility
and erosion damage to our agricultural
lands. The wise motto "a stitch in time
saves nine" was never more apt than
IN this instance.
Your soil conservation district was
organized to help you with your land
management problems. Soil conserva-
ion technicians, extension service per-
sonnet and others are working with the
district to help you solve any problem
you may have. Why not stop in and

Looking For A
Man OF Courage

Many, many years ago, in the
dim ages of antiquity. man went
out in broad daylight with a Ian.
tern in his hand looking for an
honest man. We can still hold that
pertinent to the present day.
But, in this our era, we need a
high powered floodlight and spot
light to look for a man of courage
and of character.
There are so many weaklings
amongst US not physical, but NOR
al weaklings, whose character bows
to the slightest pressure, and to
save their own skin betray their
own kin and friends.
X
We want to look for a person of
courage a person who can defy
all conventions and traditions to
fight for justice and stand for the
truth; a person who has the cour-
age to go against any opinion,
public or private, to expose an in
justice and fight for the oppressed.
X y
What an irony! Those whose
character ranks the lowest are the
noisiest in extolling the virtues.
Many are those, whose moral cour-
age could not be called courage at
all, who are the loudest in their en-
PITY protests. And there are countless
individuals who knell in sypocritic
submission to an Almighty Lord
whose lives stink to high heavens.
\ X
In our day and age. we need
more than ever before a person of
courage courage to stand for the
wronged and to fight an injustice,
courage to tell the truth unmindful
of the consequences, courage to
defy worn-out and ANTICIPATED ira
dition to correct error, courage to
sacrifice comfort and self in up
holding a principle, courage to go
against the current of public opin-
ion when he knows he is right.
