It's Really The Good Life, You have only to spend a little time on a farm or live in a rural community to know--it’s really the good life. Once you’ve walked the fields and forests, scanned the hills and valleys, watched and felt the billowing of the wind over fields of golden grain, thrilled to the sight of the flash of light as a gleaming fish breaks a tranquil surface of water, or had your heart soar with the flight of wild birds in a cloud-studded sky--it’s then that you feel the closeness of God’s earth and it’s relationship to man and you will carry it with you wherever you go and as long as you live. For these reasons alone we are somewhat mystified as to why statistics from last year’s census indicate that most small towns, with few exceptions, do not reflect the population increase shown by the large city areas. The number of farmers is dwindling, when farm products are needed in ever-increasing quantities. In New York City alone it takes an equivalent of 16,000 box cars of food daily to keep it’s population going. True, mechanization on the farm has played a big part, and the city does have some things to offer; but today there are many who question whethy the Big City doesn’t take away much more than it gives. We were recently told of two brothers who left their rural boyhood town to seek their fortune in a large me tropolis. One found that it wasn’t for him, and returned to become the editor of his home town paper. His brother, on the other hand, stayed on for the “security” offeredby the city--just living for that 20 year retirement plan. He didn’t make it. A heart attack caught up to him first. And we’ve been told of another who left a high salaried post at the old New York Herald Tribune for a job paying far less, in the small, home town community he is now living in; but at the end of each year he has a lot more in the bank than he ever managed to save in New York, and he is happier and healthier than he’s ever been before ............. It may be that city life has been oversold, while country life has been undersold. Granted, it may take a bit of doing to convince some of our youth that for the good life, they’d best stay away from those asphalt jungles. But if we tell it to them enough times, maybe they will come to agree that it’s true.

IGAS Club Studies Collection Problem Four members of Oregon Chapter, IGAS Study Club met at the home of Ellen Jones, Monday, January 4. The lesson concerned a problem of how to turn a debtor into an active account instead of an uncollecti ble one. The method was to prepare a trait inventory from the hand writing to which the creditor might appeal in his attempt to solve the collection problem. Traits which would handicap the project were to be con- sidered also. Next meeting will be held Monday, February 1, at the home of Ellen Jones. ¡ ^ OBITUARIES Nanci Lee Sarazin Patti Ingalls Services for Mrs. Patti B.
