Tide Must Turn EDITOR: No day is quite so important to us old timers as the annual Old Folks Day outing, because two pretty girls drive up to our front door, get out, help us in like we were a King and a Queen or Nick and Pat, into a long new Cadillac (and is doesnt cost us a cent). They deliver us safe and sound at the North Stake Center and offer a strong arm down the long hallway, where we suddenly burst into the royal presence to two or three hundred Kings and Queens. Just as royal society as could be found in Europe or Urasia, sitting up to long tables loaded down with good things to eat and drink, and a program to make us happy and gay. Arent we thankful for that one day each year of the past. And wouldnt we be glad ir the future had as bright a look to it? But does it? Especially for our young people. So many of them have flit.ra the summer away to Yellowstone and so forth. School time will soon be here again. And with the prices rising constantly and funds sinking so low with so many of them, what are the loafers going to be thinking and doing when the snow gets over the tops of the fences? Of course, some of them will be drop outs and lose everything. Some study hard and by the cooperation of a determined wife graduate from his class and find a good job in a big city. But that is not the democratic ideal of Thomas Jefferson, or Lincoln, or Washington. Jefferson was so fearful of big cities growing up in America. He said. "Let us produce the raw materials and send to Europe to as many manufacturers. Let them have the folks that grow up in big cities. Washington said "Hard work and economy make great men and nations. And isnt it fortunate that tne "Father of his Country didnt spend his young years in colleges, but rather in surveying and opening up the new lands, thus strengthening his country and himself for Americans great revolution of freedom. Without this added strength, and Washingtons supreme reliance on divine providence it is doubtful if America could ever have triumphed. "But America became the greatest, richest, most powerful nation ever on the earth, said Johnson, "Now, he says, "we are in the bondage of debt and sin as no nation has ever been, and the main cause of this awful mess is the millions rushing to the big cities to find better paying jobs.
