Show mE SENTINEL. MIDVALE, UTAH • FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1946 Our Priceless Heritage •• • An address by CARL TAYLOR, ' President Wauke&ha (WiaJ State Bank, before the national conven,p tion of the wholesale hardware associations.. March 12, a.t Atlantic City. N. J . • , ' Installment 2 The little city in which I happen to live and have my present business enterprise has a population of about 30,000. Ill that little dty of 30,000, in the homes of the ' people there are more mechanical refrigerators than there are in the homes of all the people of London, England, or all of the people of Paris, France, or all of the people of Moscow or Berlin. And ·in nearby Milwaukee there are more ice boxes in the homes of the common citizens than there are irt the homes of all of the peop les of all of the earth, outs ide these United States, put together. We own 991h: per cent of all the washing machines there are in the world, and when Monday morning, the national washday, comes around-at least in my homet\le little Irish girl that shares her life with me and takes care of me and her two children, gathers up the family laundry and dumps it fn a washing machine, turns a faucet over here and hot or cold water runs into the tub; she pushes a button and mechanical power does the washing. Almost all of the washing machine equipment in the world is in America. There are more hot water faucets in the City of Milwaukee than thert~ are in all the rest of the world, outside the UnHed States, put together. Any phase of life you wish to consider in the material aspect will show America at least four-fifths ahead o1 all the rest of the world put together. Why? We have the youngest government in existence, scarce 150 years of organlzed govern~ ment. We have only 5 per cent of the world's territory. We have only 7 per cent of the worlQ's people, and yet in the shortest period of any organized government, with 5 per cent of the world's area and 7 per cent of its people, we have come to own substantially all of its automobiles, and its washing machines, and its electric ice boxes, and its motion picture machinery for home use, and all of the things that go to make material living. How did it happen? What made it possible? Why didn't it happen in the Old World? I would like to press those questions into your conscience with sufficient force that you would pave to find an answer to them to suit yourselves, because in that answer alone rests any possibility for the continuance of freedom in America. Now, some folks will say, ~<Well, washing machines and automobiles are not important. It is social values that are important." But let me tell you, the social development in America is not essentially different than its material development. When Monday morning comes, Mrs Taylor goes into our laundry room to do the famlly laundry, oud daughter, 15, gets in the car with me and rides to Waukesha to go to high school. My son gets on his bicycle and rides up the road to a country school near the farm where he gets an education. If we lived in any other land on earth and came from simple beginnings, as we both did in America, when Monday 'Inorning came, my daughter would stay home, as the daughters of ali the commQn people of all the earth do, to help with the Idrudgery of daily housekeeping. My son would in all likelilyhood have to stay horne to carry on the drudgery of work because on the farms of 6ther lands the labor is done by human muscle or by oxen or at best by horses instead ot by electricity and gasoline power. And so when three o'clock comes and my children come home from school, they find their mother rested, with her day's work drme. and they come home with the day's education iQ their rminds and in their hearts, and I submit to you that socially we have made the same progress that we have ·made materially in this world. Page Seven The schoolhouse doors swing out to every child in America, and it the parents do not send the child, then the truant officer comes around and knocks on the door, ani! gets the child off to school. The children of the banker go to the same school as the bank janitor's kids go to and the only difterence is that the janitor's kids make better students because they have been taught to work at home. America has the very best of everything that the world has ever presented to the common people to live. The ordinary American in simple circumstances, like most of us are, can do more for his wife and his children than any King or any Prince of1 any Old World country could ever have done for a Queen or a Princess in his own family. I have had an ambition. I have s;aid it sometimes, and maybe I should't, but I will say 'it again anyway. I would like to see every American in this country,' or every person in t h is country who believes that there is a better world or a better way of Jiving anywhere in the world than we have in America given one-way transportation to the land of his choice and start on his way. And I am sorry to say if we did that, we would have to have a national election tomorrow because a great number of our rulers would be out of the country. Now, what made us a great country? I want to press that question on you. What do you think made us a great country? I am w11Ung to take any answer you want to give, but I would like to state mine for you. We became a great country in this land because we said to every person in it, "You may have freedom to do with your life whatever you want to do with it and we will reward you in America proportionately as you do good for it." Now, instead of a long philosophic explanation, let me give you a couple of examples. Up to a hundred years ago no group of people ever lived a generation without the fear of starving to death. Hunger stalke"d the world since the dawn of time, until a hundred years ago. Even today there are a billion people living who will never once in their whole lifetime have all they want to eat In India, China, in Southern Russia, great groups of people by the hundreds of millions, totaling nearly a billion, will never once have all they want to eat. A hundred years ago mankind went hungry everyw:here and thought nothing about it. But seventy-seven years ago on a farm not very far from here a Scots boy 17 years old, three years in this copntry, was busy swinging an old scythe, cutting grain, and the faiJlilies in that valley could only grow one acre of grain because it had to be harvested with human muscle and stomped on threshing floors ana picked uP and winded out in the wind. It was hot that Saturday afternoon and this boy was suffering with the sun on hiS back and his musc.1es ached. He was angry because he knew that there was going to be a dance that evening in the town and some city • slicker would get his girl because he would be to tired to dance. But he still went ahead with his job. He fell to dreaming that he could make a machine that would cut this grain without human muscle, and he started thinking about how it could be done. Now, mankind had cut grain since the dawn of time with that same kind of human power and he should know better than to think he could do it any other way, but he was in America, had freedom, and thought he could do it with a better procedure. So he cut a section off an oak log, with a four-inch wafer, then another one to make a wheel, whittled out a square axle, with a knife-r have seen it; it has no metal in it at aU; it was made entirely with wood~nd by and by his dad said to him, "Cy, you are wasting too much time with that crazy dreaming. You get back to work. Cy said, 11 Dad I can make a machine cut tt'li<:: ~ork. 11 The old father said, "You get back to work.'' The young man said, uBut I want to make the machine." The father !'=aid, "Okey, you cut 16 hours a day with the scythe and I don't care what you do with your spare time." So Cy went to work and -- WEST JORDAN LUMBER Co. MEL CARLSON. Mgr.

Roocllke, pastor Many a mother's heart will be both glad and sad when Sunday is over; glad because she was remembered with little kindnesses, and sad because she thinks of all the other days when there is not a word of appreciation, no fond greeting, no gentle caress. Some will probably think it a shameful piece of news that a negro woman has been chosen as the U. S. mother of 1946. If she deserved it we honor her for it. However, it seems a pity that a neighboring paper had to report, uwomen outnumbered men" when Friday's Post . . . missed an issue last week because the pas· tor suffered a hip injury Sunday night, April 28, as he was leaving the Liberty Park Metho· dist church in Salt Lake where he h ad been guest minister . Fortuntely he left early t h e follow· ing morning and was compelled to remain in bed most ot the week. An Xray showed no fractured bones, but the ligaments and nerves were badly bruised, and the pastor had to say, "Hand me down my walking stick," in fact two of them-if he was to get around at all. The pastor expects to be back Friday for the Fourth conference which will be conducted by Dr W E Blackstock. Arrangements were made to have supper together with the conference following. .Mothers Day will be observed at the morning service Sunday, May 12. There will be appropri· ate music and a sermon, and Dad will not be left unless he leaves himself out.

Almost the most expensive thing we know of is hardware supplies-of poor quality. For that' reason our policy has always been: "Quality First." Why not join your many friends who rely upon this store for every hardware need? Christ lutlleran Clmrch -- CORN MEAL Be Sure of QUALITY When You Buy Hardware ••• COmmunity Methodist made the machine and on the Saturday afternoon that he was going to try it out hi• dad said to the tanning neighbors, uNow you come over this afternoon and make Cy look like a !ool. When that thing- doesn't work, you razz him unmercifully because if you don't he is going to waste his life making crazy machinery. He is a good boy but he has crazy ideas he has to get out of his head.'' So aU the farm hands gathered to make fun of Cy and get jdeas out of his head. He hitched Old Dobbin to the machine he had made, and the neighbors stood along side to laugh, and when he said, "Get-up," the horse started walking and over the little foot wide cut of wood fell a !oot-wide section of grain as fast as the horse could walk. And the neighbors who came to sco!f realized, with the simple understanding of the soil, that they were witnessing a great miracle. Their jaws drop' ped, their eyes stood out, because here was horse power applied to food produ ction on a mass scale, and as rast as the horse could walk the grain was out, and in one afternoon with that horse Cy McConnick could cut more grain than all the men in the neighbor~ hood could cut in a week by hard labor. After a little while in that little valley all the farmers were producing five acres of grain, not one, and a surplus of food began to be produced for the first time in all the history of the world. But McCormick wasn't satisfied. He thought if he had a little metal he could make one three feet wide. Back in those days you know, the Government let you keep a little bit of what you made for yourself. So he accumulated a little surplus and he sent that surplus over the hills into PennsylVania and got enough metal to make one that would cut a section three I I SALMON ro·'1.~~"·'Y:...~~~~r~. 28; FOWL FRYERS :.~~_Ji'.~.~~~lv,;;:x: 44; ~ ..~r~~~.34¢ Lunch Meat -~-".':::~-r:'~~-h:,o,~ 45; Young Hens for Fricassee lb.
