TODAY and TOMORROW i ? *** (By Frank Parker Stoekbridge) Coolidge . . . who know him I Jmew Mr. Cipolidge Less veil than I b&ve known every other Pres ident of the past forty years. That was not strange, since few people can really claim to have known him well. I asked the late Nicholas Long worth, when he was speaker of the House and Mr. Coolidge was Presi dent, who knew Coolidge best. "I suppose I know him as well as anybody/* Nick replied, "I cam paigned for him for Governor, al most lived and slept with bim when he ran for President, and as Speaker I have to eonsnlt him frequently. But I haven't the slightest idea, never have, of what's going on in Coolidge 's mind!" I was a long way from home on election, day, 1924, and so could not vote. To make conversation, I re marked to him one.day in the White House "I didn't vote for von, Mr. Pres ident." "Rome did," he responded without cracking a smile. Technocracy . . . an aftermath A new word is sweeping the coun try ? "Technocracy." Literally, it means "government by technicians." The word was coined by a group of research men at Columbia University who calculate that the time is at hand when everything human beings want can be produced with so much less la bor thak before, that nobody ought to have to work more than 660 hours a year. Coupled with this idea that every thing can or will be done by ma chines, they have a nebnlous plar for discarding our present system of money, banking and credits am1 creating money based on electric energy' instead of metal. After every period of depression bum gut ato&lg about o?r schemes to reorganize the world be gin to be taken seriously by people who imagine that human nature can be changed over night. Technocracy Is merely another theory which car only lie put into practice after a few hundred generations, if at all. We are far from being ready, in America, to turn the control of out lives over to a dietptor under any name, even that of Technocracy. Automobiles . . . how many? Only four or five years ago there were nearly five million automobiles sold in America in a single year. This year fhe manufacturers are figuring on a total production of about a mil lion and a half. They are hoping that times will get enough better so that thoy will sell two million cars. Automobiles are cheaper than they have ever been before. All the way up and down the line prices have been cut, engine power increased, all sorts of -new gadgets introduced, un til it is difficult to see how anyone can get much more for his money? if he has It? than in buying a 1933 ear. I hare a feeling that the makers are going to be surprised at the vol ume of their tales. I think the scared money tWt has been hiding in the stockings and savings banks is going to begin to come out of hiding this spring, and that people will begin to buy more antomobiles and fishlines and other commodities than they have been doing the last couple of years. Rockefeller . . . city within city What seems to me perhaps the most valuable contribution to unem ployment that has been made in these past three difficult years is the enormous building project carried out by John D. Rockefeller, Jr.; which is known as Radio City, in New York. Imagine nearly seven acres of land solidly built up with brick and steel building? from five to ten stories high, as closely as they can be built. Then imagine one man getting pos session of- this entile tract in the middle of the city of New York, tearing down all of the buildings and starting to cover the seven acres with new buildings, some of which will run seventy or eighty stories high. That is what John D. Rockefeller. Jr., is doing. In a time when almost all other building activity in the country had ; stopped, he had given work to thousands of" men in the building trades and la creating soma !? v~ ' ' h ') 5-10 YEAR MEETING SHOWS INCREASE IN FARM PRODUCTION A mass meeting of the 5-10 Year , Farm program held at the Plaza theatre in Asheville, Monday night disclosed that production had been increased; that farming was being done on a more scientific basis, and * that the groundwork for a planned system of farming had been solidly laid, in the counties of Western North Carolina. Jackson county organized 17 Par ent-Teacher associations for schools welfare and garden work, held a fair, and did $9,278.73 worth of co-opera tive marketing. There were five Here ford, thrc" Jersey and one Guernsey bulls placed. Also, 12 rams, three purebred boars, 15 sows and 8,000 chicks were placed. The Jackson increase in lespedeza over the 150 pounds of 1931 was 3,350 pounds. There was an increase of 50 per ce.'it in soybeans, cowpeas and winter crops, and a 40 per cent in crease in cabbage acreage. The latter improvement brought the farmers a net return of $18,000. Thirty-five bushels of special Irish Jjotqtoes were put out for seed patches alone, and 30 bushels of Abruzzi rye was raised. The Rotary club gave two pigs to boys, furnished seed corn for two club acres and gave the county agent a ton of limo for demonstration purposes. Jackson county was represented at the meeting, by County Agent E. V. Vestal, Mi-, and Mrs. A. J. Dills, W. T. Cook, D. G. Bryson, J R. Jones, N. C. Brown, M. B. Madison, R. C. Hunter, W. H. Smith, and Claude Wikc and son. _____ _________ i 1 HOLD FUNERAL SERVICES FOR FORMER JACKSO# MAN ,.r Funerai seruce?J?w?-iield vested Say morning for Francis Lee Fisher, , - 36, merchant of Hazelwood, who died at his home in Hazclwood Tuesday morning at 6 o'clock, after "an ill ness of about six weeks, due to high blood pressurs. .
