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.
