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.

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
