A NEW WAY OF LIFE.
!■*
for the Rural Midwest
w e all know that much of the progress in our great country is
due to the job our fanners and industries serving the farmer have
done — producing with a small fraction of our manpower all the
food and fibre we need. Ninety percent of our population can
therefore work at other jobs and turn out floods of goods and serv
ices to help make life easier and more enjoyable.
Some calamity howlers and self-appointed fix-it experts give
the impression that this outstanding job is a problem rather than a
blessing. It is high time we do away with this nonsense. Our in
creased efficiency provides nothing but OPPORTUNITY! Let’s
get to work taking advantage of it, like our pioneers have always
done!
While the modem pioneer doesn’t pack up in a covered wagon
and head west in the classical tradition, there are pioneers in re
search, leadership, progress and evolution emerging from their
“covered wagons” in new outposts of humanity—in space, in sci
ence, in politics, in world affairs and in human relations.
