MACHINES
VERSUS JOBS
(By George Peck)
In our last editorial in this sub
ject we pointed out that between
1920 and, 1930 three jobs were
gained in expanding occupations
for every one lost in the declining
occupations. Let us pursue this a
bit further. Gainful workers in all
occupations rose from less than 42 j
million in 1920 to almost 49 million
in 1930, an increase of over 16 per:
cent. If, as some believe, unem
ployment is due to machines dis
placing men, it should, be most se
vere in the most highly mechanized
industries. But, Just the opposite
is true. In none of the industries
which today have low figures, can
it be charged that machines have
displaced mmen. Rather, various
factors have brought about a tem
porary lack of demand for the goods
produced.
Another point (Which is often
overlooked, in connection with in
dustrial machinery and employ
ment, is the fact that only about
one-sixth of all wage earners have
ever been employed in manufactur
ing. The Defense Program when it
gets into full swing will alter this
somewhat on the upward side.
Those who contend that machines
in industry account for the millions
of unemployed today need only look
at figures that are readily available
to see that this cannot be true.
1 Suppose that machinery had dis
placed every factory worker who
was employed in 1929. The total
would have been only 8.8 million
according to figures from the Unit
ed States Bureau of Labor Statis
tics. Latest estimates of this same
Bureau place factory employment
in December of 1940 at 10.5 million,
or an increase of 1.7 millions over
the 1929 peak. Therefore, the mil
lions still unemployed must be
from other occupations such as
carpenters, brick-layers, clerks,
salesmen, waiters, maids, gardeners,
etc.—millions of whom must cer
tainly have not been displaced by
machines.
Like the unemployment charge,
most of the other imagined evils of
the machine prove to be but myths
when they are examined closely.
We hear inflammatory predictions
of revolution in America and the
cry that the machine age is making
it necessary to adopt socialism or
some similar form of society. In
this connection, it is interesting to
note that Russia, the first country
to adopt national socialism (or
communism, if you prefer), was one
of the most rural, and that one of
its first steps was to buy American
industrial machines and emulate
American production methods.
The case for the machine age or
technological advancement may be
viewed in three aspects: (1) Its ef
fect on consumers; (2) Its effect
on labor; (3) Its effect on business
and industry. These will be dis
cussed in the fourth and conclud
ing editorial on “Machines Versus
Jobs” which will appear in a future
issue of this newspaper.

WHY EVANGELIZE
CHILDREN?
(By Steve Cloud, pastor M«nlo
Baptist Church)
The call of God in the present
hour is a call to child evangelism.
Christians in various parts of the
world are being stirred by the Holy
Spirit to devote themselves to win
ning boys and girls for Christ. Many
of us believe that the next great
revival will be a children’s revival.
There are five reasons why
Christians should engage in child
evangelism. First, children need
salvation. In Matt. 18:11 we read:
“For the Son of man is come to save
that which was lost”. We note
from the context that Christ had
been talking about children, and
the logical inference is that chil
dren are lost and need salvation.
In this connection we are talking
of those who have reached the age
of responsibility. In 'infancy, a
| babe’s inherited sinful nature is
convered and atoned for by the
■ blood of Christ, by His substitu
tionary death for sin, for the grace
. of God operates where it is not re
sisted. When a child reaches the
age of responsibility, that child
must accept Christ as his personal
Saviour and confess Christ before
men. The age of responsibility may
begin very early, and therefore the
way of salvation should be ex
plained to the child just as soon as
he can understand that the Lord
J Jesus died for him on the cross.
] The fifth reason for engaging in
child evangelism is that the nation
and the world never can be evan
gelized unless the children are
: reached. If the way of salvation is
presented simply and clearly, most
, of the children contacted will be
, won for the Lord. Let us win the
I boys and girls for Christ.
'; Somebody’s child is looking for the
Saviour,
Face lifted to your face, in trust
complete;
Somebody’s child in need of faith
and guidance,
' Is asking who will guard her lit
-1 tie feet.
1 Somebody’s child just starting on a
>| journey
. That great adventure that the
J world calls life;
Only the Lord can give the grace
sufficient
,i For every obstacle, for all the
strife.
Somebody’s child—it may be yours
your neighbor’s,
That matters not, but one thing
matters much;
To come to me. The kingdom is
of such.
Somebody’s child, so tender, hushed
expectant,
Lifting a face by sin yet unde
filed.
Can you who have received “sc
great salvation”
Neglect to give it to somebody’s
child?

This is important—All boys and
girls who are going to camp this

dred scriptures, must get in touch

and every male citizen required to

Act.

Division of Wildlife
ATLANTA, June 26.—D i r e c t o r
Zack D. Cravey disclosed plans to
day to offset ravages of this sum
mer’s drought on Georgia’s supply
of fish in lakes and streams.
He said he hopes to construct one
and perhaps two new fish hatcher
ies and to reclaim and complete
one at Tuft Springs, Macon, which
he started about five years ago but
which was abandoned altogether
while he was out of office.
Director Cravey said sites for
other hatcheries have not been se-'
lected but that in each case it will
be necessary for the property to be
given to the Division of Wildlife with
the understanding it will revert to
the original owner should the
hatch be abandoned. He said one
should be constructed in southeast
and one in southwest Georgia and
each must have an adequate supply
of pure water which can be con
trolled.
Director Cravey said the present
system of hatcheries is entirely in
adequate and that each of the four
stations in existence must be re
paired and improved. They are lo
cated at Bowen’s Mill, Fitzgerald;
Millen, where improvements already
have been started; Richmond Hill
in Bryan county, and at Summer
ville.
“Lack of funds prevents us from
going ahead right away with build
ing new hatcheries but we are in
hopes that we can work it out some
way at an early date,” he declared.
“It will be necessary to secure WPA
projects to assist with construc
tion.”
The director estimated that the
drought has destroyed between
200,000 and 300,000 young fish and
an estimable amount of spawn. To
offset this, he said it is going to be
necessary for the Division to carry
on intensive propagation and re
stocking work.

County Extension Agent H. G.

have been so outstanding that
many farmers have poisoned their

they had not seen the good results
