OFFICIAL COUNTY AND COITY PROCEEDINGS — ARE WE SO BAD OFF? It doesn’t havel to be a dark and stormy day for most of us to find plenty of things to find fault onbout. We gasp in horror at the crime waves, and the price of pork gives us heart failure. We are doubled up under our burden of taxes and every- thing considered, the country is going to the dim- inition bow-wows on high. But is it so bad? Ts it such a bleak old world? Are we living in an age of deprivation and hard- ship? William Feather of the Philadelphia Ledger staff brings us back to our sensesin the following man- ner: “I am writing this in the living room of my home, on a typewriter that weighs no more than amoder- " i-ate sized book. Light is provided by a lamp that has two incandescent . bulbs. “In an adjnmmg room is a telephone from which T can talk to any city or hamlet on the continent. On the wall is a thermostat which regulates the flow of gas in my furnace and keeps the rooms at an even temperature of 70 degrees. 4 \ “Almost within arm’s reach are several shelves of books filled with the most profound and beau- tifully expressed thoughts. The floors of my home are ‘cleaned with a suction sweeper, operated by electricity, while the clothes are put through an electric washer and ironed in an electrically driven mangle. “My children attend a school where they are given an education better than the sons of kings could command a century ago. I enjoy all these things, yet I am an ordinary citizen with an ordi- nary income, living in an ordinary way. Tens of - thousands have as much as I have, and more. And yet I kick and wonder what ails the world. - \ “Were the good things of life ever 5o easlly at the command of the ordinary man as they are to- day? Don't we all do a lot of welching that we haven’t any right to do? And if we aren’t careful, isn’t there a danger that we will upset the greatest civilization the world has ever known.” Yea, William, you have said it; put that on your wireless and broadeast it. to insure publication in the eur- "f 4 N W.

Not only did W. R.
