LEISURE WITH CULTURE
ON THE ELECTRIC FARM
Some Believe Also That Electric Power and Radio May
Shift Cultural Centers of Future From Urban
to Rural Districts.
Within the last two years a convic
tion has found expression among a
few public men, such as Senator Ar
thur Capper, that the farm-electrical
agitation is about to bring about an
astonishing economic revolution. The
social influence of electrical methods
on American farms in general will
produce a new era of American na
tional culture if these expectations
are realized.
Speaking recently to a gathering of
mid-western farmers, David Sarnoff.
A united farm family on an electrified farm in the northwest.
vice president and general manager
of the Radio Corporation of America,
said that radio’s greatest contribution
to American civilization will be its ef
fect upon the farmer. On more than
300,000 farms radio has already less
ened isolation, increased knowledge
and spread information and enter
tainment.
As fast as electric lights and elec
tric power are established upon the |
farm with the maximum of benefit to
the farmer, just so fast will leisure
time on the farm increase and over
worked farm families will become a
thing of the past. Then the radio set
will be turned to even more eagerly.
Its possibilities for taking to the
farmer culture, religion, education
and all the finer things that compose
a great civilization will be multiplied.
It is the belief of many that these
new influences will result in ciooely
knit farm families in the future, yet a
new kind, of farm folk, who will prac
tice co operation for tlie good of all.
Collision on Sunday Afternoon
Another wreck may be ascribed Jo
mixing booze and gasoline. J. A.
ennedy, a Moore County chap, accom
panied by Hubert Hearne and Earl
Johnson, both of Chatham, ran into
the car of John Scurlock, colored,
near the junction of the Mor cure
road and Siler City highway Sun
day afternoon, slightly damaging the
cars but hurting no one. The fellows
were brought before Mayor Ray but
he postponed the trial till Friday.
No liquor was found on the car, but
there is a rumor that the men were'-
seen pouring out liquor before the
officers reached the scene.
That Cured Her.
This story is told of a young lady
named Jessie, living near Correction
ville, Kansas, who went way to board
at a school. About the third letter
home she signed her name “Jessoca,”
and her brfother Tom answered it
thus:
“Dear Jessica: Dadica and momica
have gone to visit aunt Lizzica. Uncle
Samica is talking of buying a new
machinica, but doesn’t know whether
to fget a Fordica or Buicka. Old
Brindica fias a new cafica, aid I
was going to call it Nellica, but had
to chaige it ot Jimbica. • ,

Sanford Baptists Have a Big Day
Last Sunday was a big day with
Sanford Baptists. .That day they
had their first service in their beau
tiful new church. In the evening they
had with them all the Sanford pas
tors and made it a great community
event. Among the pastors present
was our own Rev. Mr. Shannonhouse,
who is also rector of the Sanford
Episcopal church.
Much credit is due both to Pastor
R. H. Herring and the Baptist con
gregation for the early completion
of the great new edifice, one that
would do credit to a much larger
town than Sanford. Mr. Herring is a
fine spirit, one of the staunchest
characters in the Baptist ministry
and a fine preacher. The new build
ing is a lasting memorial of Mr...
Herring’s leadership and of the gen
erosity and busines ability of the
congregation.
Following the opening a meeting
is in progress, in which Pastor Kin
cheloe, of the Rocky Mount Baptist
Church is doing the preaching.
who will be informed, discerning,
thoughtful and well developed mental
ly and spiritually—as well as content
ed with their blue-sky environment
to such a degree that few will leave
farm for the city.
That, it is predicted, will mean that
the future cultural stability of the na
tion will very likely draw much more
from the farm and less from the city.
If this occurs it will be due principal
ly to electricity—and its off-shnot,
radio, coupled with the freedom from
urban distractions found in rural dis* .
tricts. i
Owen D. Young of the General ,
Electric Company, raised as a farm
boy, now a high official of an electri- 1
cal manufacturing concern and >
therefore familiar with both subjects •
—has declared that in the days of his ;
youth “the attraction of an occupa- ;
tion out-of-doors, with good food and [
j comfortable living, was not enough to
offset the cultural advantages of the
city, its lectures, its music and im
mediate access to the news of the
world.
“Now all this has changed. Good j
roads have made the farms accessi
ble. The mail carrier brings the
news. The gas engine, electricity and
improved machinery have assumed
the drudgery. The telephone and the :
motor car have enlarged the neigh- j
borhood. Radio has brought i«u>2ruc
tion, entertainment and cultural ad
vantages. not from one city c?iiy, bat
from many.”

important.
