Next to Bailey’s Bank Phone 423 Another thing: We must accept the economic truth that in a period of prosperity»people will not be content with a mere "something to eat.” Alert and informed families will ask more about the nutritional values of the soils where their goods are grown. Hence, I predict that housewives of the “50s” will become students of the principle that good foods originate in good soils. The agriculture of the "50s” will tend toward a combine of engineering and organic chemistry. Then there are hundreds of impor tant new inventions ready to come on the market. The day is dawning when we shall classify as “producers’’ nut oyly farmers, manufacturers and miners, but all who apply integrity and,abil ity to the bettermen of the country. Producers are those who unite to produce superior goods and-or ser vices at efficient costs. They, with the help of the teachers and preach ers are the hope of America. Yes, I now :eel that more good years are possible, but like so fhany other good things, they are to be had only if we are willing to pay the price. Looking iforward to the poten tial prosperity of the 1950s, the price- tag is marked in bold letters for all to read. It says: We all must produce more and save more. Here, then, is the neighborly advice which I am giving,—and trying to take myself. Do not look backward upon things- as-they-were, however precious the memories, nor struggle to keep things-as-they-are. Rather, let’s all unite to create new highs in living standards, including standards both material and spiritual. Work and faith are the first and final securi ties. If we put those first things first, the 1950s can be good to us all and we can forget “boom or - bust” for a while at least.
