C,"Thursday, January 28,1954 Number 4 b arson Discusses future cities ' By ROGER W. BARSON New Boston, N. H., January 28— Whether or not you and I will live to see World War III, I am convinc ed a revolution will take place in the location,of factories. Crowded Parking and More Fires As the development of food roads followed the increased ope ration of automobiles, so the de centralization of factories will fol low the increased nuisance of park ing. Parking facilities are as in adequate and- the par king problem young people, who too often have led “soft” lives and are not so like ly to make amjbitious employees. As a rule, better trainees can best be secured in the rural schools sur rounding a city, where boys are trained to work and save in the Home. These young people usually make the best workers. Everyone Has Auto In view cf the above, I forecast i that even before a factory leaves a big city and moves out into a rural section it may have its train- 1 ; ing school in a rural or suburban Beyer W. as unsolved today 1 section, rather than in the center of a big city where the factory is now | located. This would enable the fac-; tory to attract and train. country young people. A few years ago this would have been impracticable be cause of tack of transportation; but today almost every boy with any ft mechanical ability has a second- j 8 hand car. In fact, if a boy has not!ft ingenuity enough to fix and ope- a rate a oar, he is not the kind of a « boy that the school wants. Such ajg program would later bring better ■ 8 as was the high- way problem when we had only dusty, dirt roads. Parking lots may | be only a tempor ary solution. The real answer is BsbMm rao v i n 8 factories into rural sections end having cities take in these su burbs. —— Another serious problem is loss by fires. These are tremendously heavy and costly today. Fire, oc cupancy and business insurance are great helps; but these cost money. Such insurance protects us against our own losses; but not against the constantly increasing total fire loss. This can be« accomplished only through more fire-alarm boxes, more sprinkler systems, better con struction and “house - keeping”. What with all these we must finally resort to more decentralization. Employment Problems Every year more up-to-date man ufacturers are operating schools for training employees. To compen sate for increased wages and/ meet competition employees must be better trained. The first cost of such training seems high to old- time employers; but it pays by re ducing turnover. One of the best investments which a corporation can make is in the finding and training of seriously-minded young people for its organization. Most of the Factory Schools and the college, public and private en gineering schools are in. cities. As a result, they attract mostly “city” young people into our cities as em- S ployeeS.

Thus the cities and the fac- 1 8 efit » I Benefits The City g Anything which helps solve the parking problem for a city ulti mately helps the city. It may, therefore, help cities tc have cer tain factories move out into the country. Cities are intended to be ft :: ft great shopping centers. This means that we should favor the merchants and their stores in every reason-i able w r ay—good roads, plenty of parking space, low taxes, and friendly people. Public schools de pendent upon taxes could well af ford to train the students to be courteous under ail conditions. How a combination of cities and rural sections will be brought about I do no! know: but it seems inevi table. All large cities and their surrounding small towns have their usefulness. They should cooperate more for the ioint good of all. By so doing we will have better cities and better towns. Methodists Open New Student Center In Columbia South Carolina Methodists an nounce the beginning of a new stu dent center in Columbia. The new center, being purchased with Mis sion Special gifts from local churches, opened its doors to stu dents last week. The Rev. Robert K.
