THESE UNITED STATES
Most of us carry, n history book
conception of the, Raited State
without realiin.ihat .each day
brings about a change both in our
country and in our citizens: con
ception of iC
The earliest
conception was
that of union of
colonies for
common benefit
The thirteen col
onies nestled
along the eastern
seaboard. " Their
problems of gov
ernment were
simple and their
Kjres
conceptions o f
community life were much alike.
As the country expanded and
people migrated westward, some
thing happened, to them. The land
got into their blood. From their
point of view, people who mi
grated found the United States to
be a very different place, consider
ing it as a whole, than the common
view of their relatives and friends
they left behind satisfied that all
that was worth while in the
United States was east of the Alle
gheny mountains. To those on the
seaboard a man who migrated to
the Western Reserve, which to
many means northern Ohio, was
considered a westerner. The more
daring of the Piedmont region
ventured into the wilderness,'
which is now Alabama. Such pio
neering built great people, molded
by the land.
By 1830 "The Grand Prairie"
was settled. It was "way out west"
in what is now western Indiana
and southern Illinois. Today we
know that geographically "The
Grand Prairie" is just a good start
toward a jaunt to the west coast
of the United States.
The drama of pioneering re
occurred time, after time, as the
wave of population and settlement
slowly blanketed the land like an
irresistible force pushing its way
slowly but with determination
from the eastern seaboard to the
west coast of the United States.
The pattern was always the same.
One-room log huts with greased
paper windows. These were ac
companied by simple clothes and
simple food. Through trial and
error these people adapted them
selves to the section of the country
they had chosen as their home
stead. In so doing, they became a
part of the land. The economic and
political development that took
place in this country was simply ,
a manifestation of the people who
in turn reacted directly to the nat
ural wealth and opportunity found
in the soil. Talk to the people in
any locality from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, and you will find that
the product of the land on which
people live, its location, influence
their thinking directly and indi
rectly as well.
The present situation in Europe
gives a good example of the in
fluence of geography on our
thinking.
The New Yorker can almost see
the planes coming over the horizon
to bomb our great metropolis. The
harbor of New York is the haven
of exporters and importers who
see their peacetime markets re
placed by markets for war sup
plies. The result is that they have
war constantly on their minds,
both in business and at home.
Coal and iron ore have made the
Great Lakes region the "black
smith shop" of the nation. Pitts
burgh, Cleveland and Detroit are
humming with preparations for
production. The people in this dis
trict feel that invasion sounds like
a remote possibility, but it's a good
idea to have plenty of guns in the
house so we can do a little shoot
ing it the invader happens to show
up.
The Grand Prairie, is worrying
about parity prices. The great
concern is the impending rise to,
prices of industrial goods without
a sufficient rise in farm prices tO
keep rural America on a par. De
fense may bring economic troubles
to the Grand Prairie.
Each section is .equally patriotic)
and willing to help 0U de&QMh
The interesting thing, howeyer, IS
the fact that each SOCtiOO i$ Ttictr
ing differently to OUT D&MQQI

The formation here is not unlike
that from which we execute a num

to watch when using this play is
the depth at which the offensive
