Today ? The strawberry business, the hoboes and their junglesâ€"all hm"“f Only a memory. | e With the vanishing of the strawberâ€" ry industry Centralia stepped into a period of inertia. There was depresâ€" sion. _ Years of inertia they tell me. Coal finally pulled the city out of it a bit. â€" Coal boomed as did strawberries for a time. Then coal began to fade. And more inertia. Inertia, lack of hope, peplessness so I‘ve been told, was long the curse of Centralia. Strawberry Period Mulligatawney brewed everywhere in the hobo jungles and at night time the hoboes‘ fires dotted the landscape like stars. Three factories were kept busy making strawberry boxes and crates. Printing houses worked overâ€" time printing tickets. A business deâ€" veloped in "shaving‘" them; that is, buying blocks of tickets for cash at cut prices. People hated to stand in line to cash them in. But, as I‘ve mentioned, evolution is on the march, When towns are in the dumps : factions spring up. â€"*People split into groups. There are neighâ€" borhood hates. That was true of Cenâ€" tralia during the periods of inertia. Play Helps. Organized play has done a world of good in bringing Centralia out of its Back thirty years or more ago all the country about Centralia was a great strawberry patch. Hundreds of acres of strawberries year after year. Many varieties of strawberries, like the Warfield, originated here. There was work picking, for everybody who might come, at two cents a box. Men and women, boys and girls, all flock: ed to the fields. And that was why the hoboes came. Last spring I visited Centraliz in "Apple Blossom Time." Centralia is the center of a remarkable commerâ€" cial orcharding districtâ€"apples, pears, peaches; countryside all aâ€"bloom in springtime. In the late summer and autumn it is fruitâ€"capital of southern Illinois. . Here is the%«dqnarten for organized fruit marketing for all the district. â€"I spoke of strawbérriesâ€" It is also a story of Centralia, oneâ€" time strawberry center of the midâ€" west, onece the annual Mecea for hoboâ€" dom, today a city of, they tell me, 14,â€" 000. â€"Centralia is becoming an indusâ€" trial center. The city is growing. Evoâ€" lution is on the march. n Is Sort of Gateway Little things change destinies. I have been in Centralia several times since I started to prow! the state of Illinois on these rediscoveries. It is a sort of gateway. The city calls itâ€" self the "Gateway of Egypt." More ambitious ones have dubbed it "Queen of the Egyptian Empire." Have you ever heard of the place that is called the City of Good Times? It‘s a story of grayâ€"headed laughter and play, old fashioned cookâ€" ies with pink sugar on them, of blackâ€" berry pies, mothers and children, litâ€" tle mothers and dolls. It‘s the story of a city without destruction on Halâ€" loween. it SAVE wis SAFET Y atyour Qmm DRUCG STORE will make y kin feel luxuriâ€" ous, soft, n:gbi and satiny.

Nor was |that all. â€" Soon fathers found themselves taking part in outings, the whole family joining in hikes and picâ€" nies. Grownâ€"folk learned: that there was a highâ€"school gymnasium. It started with "adult play nights" and some pudgy, rolyâ€"poly business men, others with thinning hair and seamâ€" lined faces, a few with doubleâ€"decked Gradually the idea of play was deâ€" veloped. A "play expert" was employâ€" ed. Organized play was started among the children.

Student days were done, his degree won. The father painted to him a glowing picture of his future in Centralia, a good and safe business, sure profits, active years ahead. But the boy replied: "Yes, if one wants to work all his days and dream of work all his nights. But when and where do I play ?" Plans foy the country club were launched the next day, the grayâ€"haired man told me. < Piles of brick, holdings in city lots, business houses and facâ€" tories held less glory in his eyes. All these were good but not all important.
