OVERTON MOTOR SALES u~ West McHenry, 111. I On a curb stone sat two boys ad- ] miring a parked autompbile. Said one of the boys: "See that bolt?" pointing to a certain bolt in the body of the car. "My Dad drives that same kind of bolt in all those c a r s . " W i t h youthful pride and enthusiasm the lad felt he was honoring his father by directing the attention of his companion to his father's great achievement. My Dad drove that bolt! How refreshing is the dauntless enthusiasm of youth. How much of the tragedy of life youth is spared. How much of the happiness of life age has lost by forsaking youthful aspects of truth. Perhaps we all need to remember with quiet gratitude the spirit of youth and mcif often £$90{ne ir\ spb"it "a child agatfl, just for tom-gHt. periende wiTf draw us back mto the schedule of mature living, but we shal^ be better for the renewal of Spirit. We shall be strengthened to meet thle sterrt reality of the modern world where many a man faces life's tragedies and feels himself another Ixion revolving on the axis of that circle called "daily brefrfl," Little did the lad know of the cost of that driven bolt. Little did he know of the humdrum of the factory ; of the deafening noise of grinding wheels; of the deadly monotony of standing fox eight liours out of every tWemy-four, five days of every week, driving a bolt, driving a bolt I Thg same movement, the |ame leaious task the whole day through! Yes, man has become A hum<irym machine jn this machine age. Into every machine-made product goes human personality, sometimes ground to the fine powder of despair, sometimes broken into fragments of human disintegration. What a price in human iife is paid! Creative and intelligent labor has been replaced by automatic machinery. Vet man is still Necessary to run the machine that all too often drives him. What is this machine age doing to man? Is his spirit becoming as insensible as the machine? Is the machine, huge material power that It is, become a modern dinosaur evolved from economic greed and social groping after things money can buy? True, the machine manipulation gives a means of livelihood, but it destroys creative thinking and consumes initiative and physical endurance. The steady fall of a drop of water on a stone will ultimately bore through it. No prophet dare predict to the industrial world the result when nerves snap and psychic centers can no longer endure the curse of monotony. If "labor is life, and the epic of the world, 'Tools and the Man,' " how shall man master the machine? ? Where, save in his leisure hours, can he replenish his spirit with "Cheer for his work? The five day week is one blessing: the two day week must become a greater blessing. If during two days man is freed from being a machine and finds relaxation and wholesome recreation thai; steady him and do not squander him, then he will come "out of his hours of leisure strong and sure of himself. Leisure must become a stimulus and not a stimulant. If machines consume both the physical and the spiritual man, leisure must replace both the corporeal and the incorporeal man. In hours of leisure a man can find himself and redetermine his capacity. As in other days, men left the farm for the factory, today, some men may have to leave the factory for the farm. Man is of greater value than his machine. . •W«at«n» Newspaper Ujloa. v Grace Weisbaum was a Chicago visitor Tiiibsday.
