Welcome To New Generations
Population growth is like the weather—there does »t
seem t j be much that anybody can do aboiv- it.
The world’s human population is soaring. There were
fewer tiian one ana three-quarter billion people on earth
in 1912 Today there are nearly two anu a nail billion, and
by the end oi this century there will probably be over four
billion. The world is currently adding to its population at
the rate oi 60,000 to 70,000 new human beings each day,
and the rate is increasing. No expert is needed to tell us
that, su far as the foreseeable future is concerned, feeding,
clothing, and keeping so many people reasonably happy is
going to be a problem. Oui own country has shown now it
can best be met.
A century or more ago a large percentage of people
labored in agriculture. If tneoretical planners nad stepped
in in those days and forced the productive processes into a
fixed “orderly ’ pattern we would probably have been
struggling with iamine by now. fortunately we were free
to invent, devise and scheme new ways. We were free to
leave oui farms and get jobs in the cities where some of
us figured our unheard of machines to do the work of ten
inen on the farm. Tractors, trucks, reapers, combines, gang
plows, cultivators—implements began to roll off the
assembly lines by the tens of thousands. American agri
culture took on a new look. For the first time in history
farmers could raise their heads above sheer drudgery.
Farming has become a scientific, competitive busi
ness. Because of the machines, constantly better farming
practices and rising production are inevitable. Upland
flood control, contour cr strip farming, and soil conservat
ion are routine practices to the modern farmer.
This American agricultural revolution is our welcome
to th? new people who will be crowding into this old globe
in the yea'-s to come. Other nations that fear the way of
free markets, open competition and a maximum of individ
ual liberty, will do well to heed our example.
Erwin Group Hears
Blind Case Worker
By PAULINE RALPH
(Record Staff Writer)
North Carolina leads the nation
in its care of the blind, Mrs. An
nie B. Faircloth told the members
of the Erwin Woman's Club Mon
day night. The program, she de
clared. is aimed not only to aid
the blind but to prevent blindness.
Blind herself, Mrs. Faircloth, who
is case worker for the blind in
Harnett, Chatham and Lee Coun
ties, was guest speaker at the reg
ular meeting of the club Monday
evening.
Mrs. Louis Dearborn, club presi
dent, welcomed several guests of
the club and asked Miss Frances
Worrell, child welfare worker for
Harnett to introduce the speaker.
Mrs. Faircloth began her talk
by telling the group that the State
Commission for the Blind, by whom
she is employed, was set up by
law to render service to the blind
’in Harnett county and North Caro
lina.
MORE THAN 10,000
More than ten thousand were
registered as blind in N. C. last
year, although all are not totally
blind but are unable to see well
enough to do any work requiring
a lot of sight.
Mrs. Faircloth then explained
that the first concern of the
, commission is to prevent blindness.
"This, she pointed out.” is done
through free eye examinations to
those who cannot afford to pay.
“But,” she went on to say,” the
state cannot buy glasses for these
persons, and that is where the
white cane sale helps. They will
also buy glasses for children whose
parents refuse to do so.”
PRAISES DOCTORS
She also told of the many Eye
Clinics in the State, but stated
'liamett county doesn’t need
because of the local doctors. 120
persons in Harnett last year were
given examinations, 92 fitted with
glasses, 15 operations given to
those who were unable to pay and
28 medical examination given. She
then said that some time civic
groups or clubs might be asked to
furnish glasses to a child whose
parents are unwilling to pay. She
then told of the Rehabilitation
center at Butner.
The speaker then told of the
> work of the Social service division
of the Commission. One of its
many services she said is to lend
talking book machines to the blind
so that they may read such books
. as “Ocne With The Wind” and
j ‘"Look Homeward Angel”.
She then told of the clinic at the
Stgte School. for blind - this year
which was made possible through
‘the white cane sale. This clinic
is for white and colored.
. she told of institution in the
tame which is done under the
dilection of a counsellor or super
vision In this area Miss Sudle
Co* is the supervisor, and works
glosely with the cart worker.-The
white cane again aids in backing
home materials.
She said that ove. $6,000 was
realized from the sale of home
craft articles made by the blind in
Harnett last year. Right now she
said that there are nine blind
persons in Harnett making articles
for sale.
In closing she said that North
Carolina leads the nation in work
for the blind.
Following her talk the group
looked over and bought what they
wanted of the articles on display.
They were then invited into the
Library for refreshments. The
room which was illuminated by
candlelight very pretty with
arrangements of late summer
flowers. The table was covered with
a lace cloth and centered with a
gorgeous bowl of zinnas and native
clematis flanked by yellow tapers
in silver candlelabhra. Miss Ruby
Sewell' poured punch from one
end of the table and Mrs. E. G.'
Purcell served individual cake
squares from the opposite end.
Salted nuts and mints were also
served.
Guests present were: Mrs. Fair
cloth and Billy Sue Dixon of San
ford. Miss Frances Worrell, Mrs.
H. Q. Beard, Mrs. Payton Odom
and Mrs. Mamie McLemore.
Club members present were Mrs.
Helen Carr. Mrs. Louis Dearborn,

These Days
OUR MINERAL RESERVES
For years, I have been calling
attention to the over-rapid con-.
’ sumption of our mineral reserves.
This is a matter of primary im
portance because our particular
’ civilization, on its material side, is
based on iron and steel, petroleum
and other metals and minerals.
When we are forced to import
these essential commodities in pro
; portions that are excessive, we shall
have to export too large a share
, of our foodstuffs and manufact
ured goods, and we shall be re
quired to do that at prices low
enough to compete in markets un
■ willing to take (them except as
gifts.
The loss of our minerals can
1 make us a dependent nation. It is
’ always forgotten that empires have
risen and fallen and that raw mat
erials and the food supplies were
factors not to be ignored.
For many years, this nation has
been dumping metals, minerals,
food-stuffs and manufactured
goods for free into the so-called
weak and backward nations under
ail sorts of aid plans. While it is
humane and charitable to assist
those who are willing to accept our
assistance, it is nonetheless dan
gerous to our future as a nation, to
the destiny of our country and to
the welfare of our grandchildren
and great grandchildren to waste
our irreplaceable wealth of metals
and minerals.
Now along comes the President's
Materials Policy Commission with
report which says (in digest’;
“A complete census of the min
erals industry should be taken by
the Bureau of the Census every
five years; that Governmental
programs of fact-gathering and
economic analysis concerning min
erals, particularly in the Depart
ment of the Interior, should be
improved to make good present
serious lacks ni data, an dthat com
plementary programs of fact-gath
ering and alalysis by industry
groups be undertaken or strength
ened. „ , . ,
•The United States Geological
Survey should speed up the geo
logical mapping of the United
States and Alaska, and ta*e leader
ship in establishing a national sys
tem of assembling geologic data
from drill cores and other sources.
The report clearly indicates in
tone and data that the investigat
ors found conditions frighteningly
unsatisfactory.
According to this commission,
’ this country is rapidly moving into
’ the position of a raw-materials
1 deficit, nation and if present con
sumption continues, we shall reach
1 that state in 1975 which is not too
' f a r awav. Should a war occure dur
ing the next 23 years, present es
timates would be outmoded be
cause the velocity of consumption
would naturally increase. Our
success in the past two wars has
5 been entirely due to our product
s ivity and mobility. The factories
' did it.
5 The present policy of our gov
’ eminent of giving away approxima
i tely $6.(i00,0o0,000 a year in various
1 forms of aid is responsible, in part,
r for the over-rapid consumption ol
1 our raw materials. More devastat

5 wnich we contributed principally
5 supplies to our allies and our own
y f OrC e S
e For purposes of .this discussion, it
is of new value to argue whether
e our policies were or are right or
L wrong: the significant fact is that
5 we are going broke in our reserves
of metals and minerals which can
- not be replaced. It is possible to
- plant and grow wheat and cotton,
s. a is possible to plant trees and m
r time to have supplies of wood, it
is not possible to replace iron ore

ROUND
ts BtlW BIAMOB
By DR. A. V. ASTIN
Director, Bureau of Standards
WASHINGTON. The sweep
ing scientific and technological de
velopment of the past few decades
have naturally aroused considerable
speculation on future trends. In
terms of major developments, af
fecting our way of life, several
fields appear very promising. The
clues to these lie in the past. Thus,
although the applied aspects of
atomic energy have received con
siderable attention, the public is
largely unaware of the influence of
this program on science itself.
One of these influences is the
availability of new tools for re
search and therapy in the form
of radioactive materials. For ex
ample, radio-active sugars have
been synthesized recency which
have contributed to advances in
the development of artificial blood
plasma and the understanding of
basic processes in blood circula
tion. Radioactive cobalt has been
made available, permitting an ex
pansion in radiological therapy
whigh has been restricted in the
past by the limited availability of
radium.
Electronics is another field which
will show marked progress. Cheap
er and better electronic devices,
civilian and military, are on thei
way. The discovery of the prin
ciple of the transitor represents a
major achievement, and we should
see the successful development of
methods of large-scale production
of these devices. When that hap
pens, the transistor will usurp the
place of electron tubes in many
applications. Because its power re
quirements are unusually small, the
transistor will also be extremely
valuable in applications where size
is important—from hearing aids to
electronic gear for aircraft. Faster
and more versatile electronic com-
P”ters will be developed. By-pro
ducts of these electronic “brains,”
however, are destined to have an
even greater impact upon our lives.
These will be computerlike mach
ines capable of processing all sorts
of information. In particular, they
will take over much routine book
keeping and inventory operations,
realizing considerable economics in
government and business.
COMMON FEATURES
Most of these developments—as
well as many others—have the fol
lowing feature in common: they
represent the application of known
knowledge to specific problems. Ra
dically new principles of science
are not involved. The story of
atomic energy illustrates this. The
development of the atomic bomb
was an application of nuclear phy
sics. That development would have
been impossible without, first, some
50 years of basic work in atomic,
nuclear, and electron physics which
preceded it and, second, without
the unprecedented concentration of

talent and facilities which com
pressed many years of necessary
additional research.
Advances in basic research are
apt to come slowly. Partly, that
is the nature of such progress, for
it involves the accmulation of a
great deal of data about the pro
perties of matter. But another rea
son is that we are inclined to em
phasize applied research and de
velopment rather than fundamental
work. It is easier to obtain sup
port for development work, which
leads to practical things, than for
basic research, which sounds vis
ionary.
The interplay between basic
science and its applications is com
plex. Without basic research, ad
vances in applied science are im
possible. But the applications them
selves often contribute to future
basic research by providing the
materials and tools. The applica
tions also often require further fun-
damental investigations.
The field of radio communica
tions illustrates this. With the op
ening up of the higher frequencies
as a result of World War II work
in radar, we have found onrselves
with a vast new region for ex
ploration, The utilization of this
new "space” has required the study
of the properties of radio waves
at the higher frequencies and the
development of methods and instru
ments of measurement. Recent new
discoveries have indicated, for ex
ample, that verv-hieh-freauency
radio waves are not limited by the
horizon and that they may nor
mally be expected to be transmit
ted far beyond it, as a result of
the properties of the waves and the
atmosphere. This finding has im
mediate significance in the alloca
tion of channels to television sta
tions.
Examples of this type suggest
the nature of basic research—the
Isteady, quiet exploration of the
properties of matter and their
painstaking measurement, In order
that we may predict its behavior
and use it intelligently. They also
suggest the need for more work of
this basic kind. This is true not
only in new fields—like the high
er radio frequencies, nuclear phy
sics, and temperatures at close to
obsolute zero or up in the thous
ands of degrees—but also in well
established fields;
ATOMIC CLOCK
Thus, mass production, which de
pends upon the interchangeability
of parts, requires greater and great
er precision. For example, precision
as high as 1 part in 100.000 is now
used by industry. Major advances
are being made in the measurement

more sensitive instruments and bet

AMVETS Award
Six Scholarships
WASHINGTON, D. C. Six 4-
year college scholarships have been
awarded to “war kids” by the
AMVETS National Service Foun
dation, it was announced today by
AMVETS National Commander
John L. Smith.
The fathers of five' of the six
winners were killed while serving
during World War II; the father
gold, whose green light provides a
precision of 1 part in 100,000,000 in
length measurements.
The earth itself may sometime
in the future yield its role as the
standard of time. Some two years
ago Drew Pearson announced the
development of an atomic clock by
the National Bureau of Standards.
That preliminary model has had
two successors. The more recent
one depends upon the vibration of
cesium atoms in a beam, and has
a precision of the order of 1 part
in 1,000,000,000.
The advances of science in such
basic fields as measurement and
standards will seldom make head
lines In the coming year. But this
work and the related study of the
properties of matter will provide
that foundation which applied
science and technology will use to
better our material lot, and will
provide new insights Into the na
tive of the universe.

is in love with a young soldier of
18.
“Dr. Cram, we are crazy about
each other,” she blurted out. “Be
sides all his friends tell me that
he loves me more than anybody
else.
“But we did something we
shouldn’t, so I am going to have
a baby. I haven’t told my mother
yet, though it's been three months.
“My boy friend left for the army
yesterday. He knows we are going
to have a baby. I thought we
should get married before he went
away, but he said times were too
uncertain now for marriage.
“So, I don’t know what to do.
Should I tell my mother? Or
should I go to this boy’s family
and tell them? His mother always,
seemed very fond of me.”
SEX FOLLY
Please notice Dora’s fiijst two
sentences. She is like the boy who
whistles in the dark to keep up
his courage.
For she really isn’t so sure that
her boy friend loves her. She is
trying to convince herself.
Thus, her protest about their
great love for each other, is par
tially wishful thinking. She “hopes”
he truly loves her!
But his actions speak louder
than words! He glibly pushed aside
her suggestion of matrimony with
the inane reply that conditions are
too uncertain in time of war to
warrant marriage!
By such a callous remark, he has
simply made things far more ter
rifying for his young sweetheart,
who already doesn't know where
to turn or what to do.

So I simply suggested that she

She seemed much encouraged
when I sent her home, but I am
not so encouraged. This boy has
run away from an unsolved dilem

Apparently his love for the girl
was not very deep and abiding. If
his mother’s apparent fondness
for Dora is as shallow as her son’s,
then Dora is going to pay the full,

For men have a so-called "line”
which they can turn on or off, just
like the water faucet.
They can protest their devotion
to you tonight, but say it just as
fervently tomorrow night to ano

than one girl.

My own car in 1950 bore a price
tag of $3,180. delivered in Wash
ington, including a tank of gas,
white-wall tires and a self-wash
ing windshied. I, of course, paid
no such sum.
The dealer was so anxious then
to get rid of his stock that he
knocked a cool SSOO off the price.
Today the cheapest model of
6ame car costs $4,100. There isn't
much difference between it and
mine except the fenders are hip
pier, the windshield is curved, and
the self-rising aerial has been im
proved. Fair enough, I told the
man. Just give me an extra SI,OOO
allowance on my old one and I'd
buy It.
He wept. I almost felt sorry for
him, or as sofiy as I ever have
felt for an auto dealer. He said*
the steel strike had stopped th?
flow of new models in his shop,
he only had a couple on hand, and
maybe somebody rich , enough
would come in to buy ’em. For my
old sedan he offered $1,400. That
left a balance of $2,700. That's
when I screamed.
For $2,700 I could make the
down payment on a house, or may
be move to Majorca and live In
luxury for the rest of my life.
The dealer said he knew what_
I meant. He said he
he’d get a few carloads of these
machines shortly. If these don’t
sell, he said come in and see him
again.
You may ask why not settle for
a small car? Any of these, with the
fixings, cost around $2,500. And in
trade for them my big one is worth
little or nothing. The gents with
whom I talked said there was no
market for large, secondhand se
dans. Gas and tires cost too much.
That explains why I am inter-£
ested in a foot-powered scooter.
Actually I guess I’ll have the dents
ironed out of my old heap and give.
It a new set of shoes. This will cost,'
like sin, even if I leave the aerial
on the Fritz, but as of today it’s
better than buying a new car.
I may even make it last another
10 years. During the war I did just
that and, despite the clanking, felt
that for once I really got my
money's worth oilt of an automo
bile. Looks like now’s the time tqj
try It again. '
