TODAY and
TOMORROW
(By Frank Parker Stockbridge)
Roads . . . townless highways
I drove through a New England
village a few weeks ago and was
horrified to see nien with axes at
work cutting down the magnificent
elm trees which had made the towns
principal street one of the most
beautiful places in Anderica. "Why,
we have to widen the' road on ac
count of automobile traffic," ex
plained the postmaster, when I
stopped.
They were destroying the chief
attraction which, for a hundred
years, has drawn thousands to their
vil'age every summer, in order to
make a highway to enable automo- 1
biles to dash through the town at
high speed without stopping.
[ crossed over into ' New York
State and came South on one of the
finest rqads I have ever seen, sixty
feet wide and with no speed limit,
Hut instead of going through the
middle of towns and villages this
great road had been cut across open
country.
This idea of the "townless high
way" for high speed through traffic
is growing, but I am afraid it is not
growing fast enough to save a good
many communities their beauty.
Unemployed ... a viewpoint
1 talked the other day with one
of the active heads of the unemploy
iii nt relief work in New York.
?'This is the last winter I will
have any part in this work," he said.
"Too many men who are able to
work are getting the habit of getting
money without working. In the first
year of the depression almost every
man who applied for relief wanted
to know if we couldn't give him some
W /rk to do. Last year aiot more than
half of the applicants made any such
suggestion. This winter most of them
are demanding money as if they
had a right to it, and some of them,
for whom we have. be<pn able to pro
vide oj?^oifl(l^eiFVw^t-krtr&ve in
dignantly rejected the idea.
Superstition . . . and bkroe I
i
Nothing is more natural than to j
blame everything bad' upon the Pres
ident. The great mass of humanity
is still very simple and child-minded.
The notion that one man can and j
de.cs control the destinies io? an en- 1
tire nation, that he holds in his :
bands the powers of good and evil, ;
is a survival in the race mind of the
beliefs of the most human tribes. |
When disaster occurred and its (
cause was not clearly apparent, i
"somebody" mnst have caused it. If i
there wasn't a tribal chief or a niel
ieina man handy on which to b'ame
it, then primitive man blamed it ,
i:pon some mythical "old man of the!
mountain," and these mythical m'.?rs,
over human destiny in time became,
invisible deiti. s, to be worshirvd '
with fear and propitiated with g;f<s
We regard ourselves as more in
t.'Hisrcnt tlmn th" Indians, but we
?<il! look upon the President as the
"fhvat White Father at Washing
ton." Every man who has ever be."n
President lias learned that his aerial
n '.nnncibint??k were far easier to I
bear than the things for whieh he |
was held re?monsib'e. but whieh were j
entirely outside of his authority.
