Bomb Scares Prove Big Aid
To Smaller Cities In U. S.
By ROGER W. BABSON
ff
Babson Park, Mass., Oct. 10—It is
an old saying that “every cloud has
a silver lining.” Certainly, this ap
plies to the bomb
scares through
which certain big
cities are now pas
sing. These scores
otter great oppor
tunities to wide
awake small cities.
The figures which
have come out are
showing that the;
largest cities have,
B«f«r W. B»b»oa p asse( j the zenith of 1
population growth within their cor
porate limits. The indications are
that many of the cities have had a
distinct decline in rate of increase
since 1M5, while the suburbs are the
greatest winners.
This trend against living in large
cities has shown itself in other ways.
Some banks and insurance compan
ies are less willing to take loans on
business property in such cities.
Some investors are selling out their
stocks of the public utilities of these
vulnerable cities. Real estate oper
ators are feeling the results of the
public’s fear of living in these big
cities with the accompanying in
creased demand for suburban home
and business locations.
Decentralisation
Perhaps the most important fac
tor against the big city and in favor
of the small city are the official
statements of our government that
the best protection against atomic
bombs is decentralization.
Those placing government orders
for vital supplies are giving prefer
ence to manufacturers who have
several decentralized plants. They
strongly recommend to those with
only one large city plant, that a sup
plemental plant be built in some
small community a reasonable dis
tance away .
Only a few weeks ago a bill was
prepared for submission to Congress
for an appropriation of $150,000,000
to build a temporary "Capitol” about
60 miles from Washington in the
hills of Maryland. The plan was tab
led by two groups: (1) Senators
from the Central West believe that
—in an emergency—the Federal De
partments now ih Washington should
be distributed amongst the safe cap
ital cities of the Central Western
States which already have the fa
cilities for housing these Depart
ments. (2) The real estate boards of
the big cities—especially Washing
ton—strongly oppose any such move
for fear of it starting a real estate
panic in these big cities.
What Tour City Should Do
Certainly, this otters a great op
portunity to the Chamber of Com
merce of every small city. Don’t be
content with forming a “Defense
Committee”. Also form a “Decen
tralization Committee”, to systemat
ically canvass manufacturers with
plants in nearby big cities to con
sider moving to your city, giving
them its advantages and opportuni
ties. There are several ways to do
this but the most practical is as fol
lows:
COMMERCIAL
HOUSEHOLD WIRING
t
Electrical Appliance
Repairing and
Electrical Construction
Work
Floor Plugs A Specialty
ARNOLD M. CANNON
406 W. Maple St. Tel. 312-XJ
Hold a meeting of your business
men and ask each firm to supply the
secretary of your new “Decentrali
zation Committee” with the names
of concerns in large vulnerable cit
ies from which they buy goods.
Then have these big city firms al
lotted to different local business
men who will be asked to write on
their own letterheads to certain big
city firms urging them: first to pro
tect their customers by having a
plant in some safe small city; and
secondly to consider “our city” for
such a plant.
It is well for big cities to form
defense committees; but no such
committee will advise its business
concerns to move out. True defense
[depends upon the activity of decen-
i tralization committees of the small
and safe cities to urge such mov
ing.

By Rev. Robert H. Harper
USING THE BIBLE
Lesson for October 15: Psalms 19:
7-11; Gets 8: 26-35.
Memory Selection: Psalms 119:11.
The Bible has one grand peculiar
ity that distinguishes it from all oth
er books—it is revelation of God to
men in the 19th Psalm we find a
comparison between natural law and
spiritual law. The will of God pre
serves a uniformity throughout the
universe. So does the law of God for
the soul seeks man’s highest good.
Thus the Bible not only reveals the
will of God to men; it also shows
that through obedience to that will
j man can attain unto the highest life.
The Bible is mighty in evangeliz
ing men. Philip the deacon brought
a great awakening to the people of
Samaria by preaching of the things
that would by and by be included
in the Bible as the New Testament.
Afterward, on the way to Gaza, Phil
ip brought the Ethiopian eunuch to
faith in Christ by his interpretation
of a passage from Isaiah.
The Bible is a great testimony to
Christ. Matthew evidently wrote
chiefly for Jewish readers. He de
sired to show them that Jesus came
in -fulfillment of prophecy. Many
things in the life and ministry of
Jesus he connected with the predic
tions of the prophets. Thus does
Matthew prove that Jesus came as
the long-promised Messiah.
So may we read the great Book
as our guide to daily living and the
record of God’s gift to men in Christ
Jesus invited men, as they though
in the Scriptures to find eternal life.

1950 Cotton
Crop Smallest In
Years Report Shows
Washington, October 10— The
South’s 1950 cotton crop is one of the
smallest in years—the smallest in
one state in 75 years. Unfavorable
weather, boll weevils, and the gov
ernment’s acreage control are blam
ed.
A survey brought these reports:
Mississippi—Agriculture Commis
sioner Si Corley estimates Mississip
pi will harvest three-fourths of the
last government estimate of 1,20,000
bales. He said the Mississippi crop
looks better than it did two weeks
ago, but the big worry now is the
high moisture content of the cotton
seed headed for next year’s crop.
Weather and weevils hit hard in some
area.
Alabama—Federal-state estimates
indicate 560,000 bales from 1,303,000
acres. A yield of 206 pounds would
be the lowest since 1950. Cotton ac
reage this year is the lowest since
1869, and total production is the
lowest since 1917. Last year’s crop
was 852,000 bales.
Georgia—Production is^ indicated
at 540,000 bales, which is 11 per cent
less than last year. The 1939-49 av
erage was 769,000 bales. A probable
yield of 225 pounds per acre is 24
per cent above last year, but 7 per
cent below the 10-year average. This
year's acreage is 1,100,000, which is
28 per cent less than last year’s. State
extension service leaders place caus
es for the small crop this year in]
the smaller acreage und^r the gov-1
emment program; the heaviest in- 1
festation of boll weevils in history;
and damage from boll worms and
fungus blight.
South Carolina—USDA estimated
460,000 bales would be harvested off
863,000 acres, compared with 554,-
000 bales from 1,270,000 acres last
year. The decrease is blamed on the
acreage drop, with weevils and wea
ther other major factors.
North Carolina—Crop now estima
ted at 200,000 bales, with decrease
blamed mainly on weather and wee
vils. This would be the smallest crop
since 1875. State had 570,000 acres
planted this year, compared with
869,000 last year. It was the smallest
acreage since 1872. The acreage this
year was 178.000 short of the quota
allotted the state.
