If you could have attended the Congressional hearings on auto
mation you would have headr convincing testimony that automation
is absolutely essential for the Nation’s industrial development.
Automation has been pictured by some as a scare word. . .some
thing to be feared_something that will throw millions out of work
by replacing them with machines.
Actually automation should be regarded as a miracle word.. .some
thing which will raise the standard of living for the United States and
for the world_and something that actually will increase over-all
employment.
Just what is automation? Well, you are going to be surprised
at some of the information developed during the hearings before a
subcommittee of the Joint (Congressional) Committee on the Econo
mic Report.
Automation really got its start, the subcommittee was told,
millions of years ago when our ancestors got tired of doing every
thing with their hands. One day one of our Granddaddies discovered
that jagged pieces of flint were better than his bare hands for doing
certain work.
This sounds elementary today but at that time it was a revolu
tionary development. And, believe it or not, that was the real begin
ning of automation.
Ever since then people have sought ways to increase their effi
cieny and output by using tools and machines instead of muscles.
As a result, modern America has led the world in the application
of scientific progress to the satisfaction of human wants and has con
stantly opened up new frontiers for the betterment of all mankind.
From our beginnings in the dawn of the steam age, we have ad
vanced steadily into new worlds—of electricity, of the internal com
bustion engine, of powered flight, of communications, of transporta
tion, of electronics and, now, of atomic power.
Now there have been developed ingenious control mechanisms,
such as the electric eye, mechanical brains, and other intricate elec
tronic and radiation devices, which can direct and control the opera
tion of machines.
The production engineer has at his disposal a variety of machines
and devices for controlling them which, when put together in proper
sequence, can turn out a continuous flow of mass-produced products
or materials without human hands touching them during the manu
facturing process.
This is “automation”. It is a new word. Yet these control de
vices are not new. The essential features of automation have been
applied in a number of fields for many years, such as petroleum re
fineries and the production of certain chemicals, some kinds of food,
paper and the refining of ores. The production of cigarettes is an al
most wholly automatic process. The dial system for telephones and
vending machines for selling various forms of merchandise are other
examples.
It would be idle to contend that automation will not bring about
major changes in the economy. If it did not, there would be no
purpose in all the work of the scientists who are developing this tech
nological concept and the production engineers who are conceiving
ways to put it to work in the service of the American people.
But it is estimated that the reallocation problem arising out of
automation will involve only about 2,500,000 jobs over a twenty-year
period. This is hardly alarming when we recall that as great a shift
was accomplished in four years, with very little difficulty, during
the reconversion period following the World War II peak.
Remember that, by 1975, it is anticipated the population of Ameri
ca may rise to as much as 220 qjillion people. To provide for this
additional 50 million, and to continue to improve our living standards
as they have improved in the past, we should aim at producing twice
the volume of goods and services by that time that we enjoy today.
However, our labor forces will have increased only by one-third,
even assuming there will be as many people wanting work in propor
tion to total population as we have now.
Obviously, unless we can bring about a 50 percent increase in the
average output of goods or services by the individual worker, we will
not reach our goal.
To reach our goal we must make the breakthrough into automatic
operation as soon as possible. The faster we can do so, despite the
obstacles, the more rapidly we will reach our objective.
Life in American then, will be richer, better, more rewarding_
with greater opportunities for the young, increased satisfaction for
adults, and more tranquility and comfort for the aged.
News From Around Nebrdska
The Lions Club at Ogallala is setting up what should be a
very interesting musical evening. On November 29th, the club
will sponsor a “Quartets Night” at which time male quartets from
towns all around that area will be invited in to take part in a
program. Full details were not given in the Keith County News
last week, but the idea has possibilities of being a money raiser
for almost everyone likes a good quartet.

The Oregon Trail Antique Car Club, which is the name of an
organization at Lexington, Nebraska, celebrated the close of an
other summer’s motoring with their old cars last week by staging
a dinner. They had a program which consisted of colored slides
showing the old time cars as they looked when they were new and
other features. The club has a roster of thirty-six members who
own approximately fifty cars, the Dawson County Herald re
ported.

The Red Cloud vicinity has been the scene of several farm j
home holdups lately, according to the Commercial Advertiser |
there. Two weeks ago a man was robbed at gun-point while '
alone in his farm home. Last week the robbers returned and
held him up again, taking approximately $30.00. The robbers told
him they came back because the victim reported the incident to
the police. They threatened his life if he reported the second
stickup. Neighbors turned in the news this time to authorities.
Also last week, a Red Cloud woman was the intended victim
of a holdup when her car was crowded on a highway near town
and the occupants threatened her with a gun. The woman got
away from the would-be thieves and no trace of them has been
found.

On Hallowe’en the kids at Ainsworth put on a window paint
ing contest. Merchants in downtown Ainsworth furnished the
windows and participants daubed away at whatever sort of illus
tration they found to their liking. The painting was expected to
draw a big crowd. The paintings were judged and prizes were
awarded and the pictures were left there for a few days so that
those coming to town could see the work done.

Lightning striking a transmission pole near Oakland, Ne
braska, plunged that city and a large surrounding area into dark
ness last week when it burned up five miles of copper line and
some transformer equipment at a rural sub-station. Oakland
was out of current for nine hours and some farms were without
current for fifteen hours, reported the Oakland Independent.

Construction of new buildings in Crete is three times more
than in 1954, the Crete News discovered last week. Permits for
the first ten months of 1955 amounted to $174,575, the newspaper
reported.
The total will go much higher, for Crete has just let con
tracts for the construction of a $328,000 school house and the
Form-Fit Garment company is to have a new building which will
cost $85,000.

The sugar beet harvest is under way at Lexington and the
Herald reports the yield to be a record-breaker. The quality is
good and the sugar content is high this year. Payments to farm
ers in the area run into the millions of dollars.

The Hooper Band which took part in the marching contests
at Grand Island’s “Harvest of Harmony” meeting last week, was
one of the three bands to be awarded a superior rating, the
Hooper Sentinel revealed last week. The town was proud of
their band’s accomplishment

The cloud seeding promoters were jubilant Sunday at Albion
where .16 inches of rain was squeezed out of clouds which might
otherwise have passed over. Seeding generators were operated
as conditions began to look right and much of the area in the
seeding tract was dampened.
Some of the newspapers in the “target area” inferred that
there might have been rain anyway-but who knows? Others
point out that cloud seeding is like life insurance. How can
one tell whether it will be needed?
Anyhow, it rained.

West Point has a new fire station and to celebrate its comple
tion, the fire department held open house one day last week.
Several hundred persons visited the new quarters and looked over
the equipment. The youngsters got to sit behind the wheel of
the largest fire truck so that they could find out what it feels
like to be a fireman. The West Point Republican pictured one
lad at the wheel of the truck.

Pierce county may join the cloud seeding area, the Pierce
County Leader revealed last week. An effort is being made to
collect $9,260 to carry out the work in that area.

At Neligh on Hallowe’en the city council provided a free
movie and free roller skating-provided the kids would sign
a pledge that they would conduct themselves the same that night
as any other night. There was also a football game scheduled
so the kids should have been kept busy and out of mischief.

Plans are going forward at Loup City for the construction of
an ice skating rink to be used this winter. Youngsters are being
supervised in a clean-up program of a vacant lot and the city
owned grading equipment is to prepare the banks of the skating
pond, the Sherman County Times reported.

Arapahoe a big Hallowe’en party was carried out which in
cluded a special invitation to rural districts to participate. Prizes j
were given to the district coming from the farthest distance and
the largest number present.

Stories of the “lion” in the vicinity of Mead are rampant i
again, as they were several years ago. But a farmer near Mead I
is chuckling about it all and sent a note to the Wahoo Newspaper
telling them that he had the “Lion” tied to a tree in his yard.
It turned out that the lion was a part boxer and part collie pup
which has short hair and a coloring of light tan. It is a large
dog, thereby making large tracks and possibly leading someone
to believe that the oft-heard-of mountain lion in that area had
returned.
So that there would be no shootings, the farmer tied the
dog up.
