N. r I r%a 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. • , Your lovingly brother, TOMICA. ■■■■— ♦ Will .. 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.” i NOTICE OF SUMMONS BY PUB LICATION / John Ragland I and Kimball Ragland:, G '■'"ting: I notified that an action has been in stituted m the Superior Court of Chatham County, North Carolina by Cam'e Britt against you for sale for partition of cprtain real estate in .Chatham County, North Carolina, in which said reM estate you and each of you are alleged to own a one undivided fourth interest each, and for rents: That you and each of y°u are commanded to be and personal ly appear before the Clerk of the Pvn o rjpp rt-f Ch C 1 -'— J ~- r , N.
