THE GOLDEN AGE
The sun slants wann on the fragr ant field,
And the old town's full with the summe r's yield.
The dry dirt road ~~nds over the hill;
Ol d homes .long it, stately and still,
Sheltered from noonday un der the trees
Are undistu rbed save for humming of bees.
Beyond the shade in the he at of the day
The tall fi e ld grasses gen t ly sway.
Bird songs warble on the aimless air,
And above . i s the blue sky, wide and fair.
Un der the bridge flows the listless brook
Past t he dry stones it lately fo r so ok,
Leaving its moss all shriveled end b r own,
Sc.arce seeping through where once it splashed down.
In pe ace and quiet the ol d town li es
Under New Eng land's summe r skies;
In the fragrant fields chirp the cricket s shril 1,
W e the ol d town dr eams a long t he hill-hil
The whole world basks in the mellow haze,
An d who can be sad in these golden days?
The new-movm hay lies sweet in the sun,
The mower has stoppe d with its swath ha lf done.
The farmer le an s on his mower, and now,
W ping the sweat from his weary brow,
i
Rests, an d of his cool ci der deeply drinks,
And ga zing on the distant hi l ls, he thinks.
A hay-wagon creakin~ down t h e road
In the he at and the dus t with a he avy lo ad-Slowl y the horse shambles t11rough the heat,
¥lh ile with lagging rein end. dangling feet,
Th rough the mellow sunli ght of afternoon,
SQftly humm.ui.g an aimless t u e,
Henry rides homeward t o the f.arm
For to stow the mowing in the barn.
--Then he restlessly looks at the sky and the trees,
And leaning f orward intent t o seize
Th e li ght that h as flashed across his mind,
Grasping the gl eam, he leaves a ll behind:
W
ith halting breath and eager look
He tremblingly dr aws in a litt le book;
Then speeding up t he old g ray horse,
Homeward he takes his eager course.
W
hile with lusty strokes he stows the hay,
Throu gh the open door st reams the fadin g day,
And t he cool air stirs as the west grows red,
And the blue sky deep ens overhead.
---Bent o'er his desk with his draftsman's tools,
Carefully Henry plots and rules;
W
hile above in the shadow stand al 1 in a row,
W e the la.mp shines up on Cicero
her
And f a nn books, poetry and many things;
And somewhere in the dark a lone cricket sings.
And in the lamp's flickering yellow li ght
Henry l abors on deep in t he night.
W t h the folks gath:red round on Saturday ni ght
i
�In the old pa rsonage , cheery and bri ght,
in a corner beside th e open door,
W
hile all make r eady and cl ear the f loor
-- The rug ged plank floor that their fathers l aid-Benry tunes up on II The W e Cockade" •
hit
.And long and gay in that Sat urday ni ght
His ac cordion's notes swell full and bri ght.
--Sunday morning, clear and cool.
Henry continues to plot and rule:
For the dream of his life has at last come true
In a won drous li ght t hat is gre at and new.
ith quick neat stroke s and eager look
He lays out his Vehicle from the little book.
-- Then Sunday church, then a friendly chat,
Of the Vehicle, crops, and this and that---A second-hand chassis in the shed,
And a first-hand ide a in Henry's head:
From his work in t he sunshine 'mid haystacks and ears
He toils in the dusk over levers and gears;
Che ered on by a ll, for his triumph is theirs,
He earnestly l abors and drills and r epairs;
Unt il on a glorious mello day
Henry puts his tools away.
W
ith the doors f lung wide, and glad and proud,
H drives into the li ght 'mid the happy crowd
e
Whe re all wait outside the b arn in the sun-Henry 's Vehicle at last is done!
Tail! Hai l! Hail! to our Henry's front wheel drive !
Hai l! Hail ! Hail! to the works of th em that strive!
Hail ! Hai l! Hail! e.s s u re as I'm a-live!
In triumph
Comes Henry
In his homemade vehicle!
A flood of joy fills a ll as down
The r oad drive s Henry through the town;
For t he end of his struggles, de fe at s and fears
Has come in the g l ad climax of weary years-He st eps on the throttle and lets he r roll,
For summe r is so a ring in his soul:
Through many tests, and with many lo ads
W
ildly he drives on the ol d dirt roads;
Or they listen, beside him in the se at,
To Henry colorfully exple.in his feat.
-- Then Henry's busy for many a day,
M
aking ready to go away.
He stows the mowing and closes the f a rm,
And lo ads the Vehicle out in the barn;
And for one last night his accordion's sound
In the parsonage gathe r s the folks around.
Then in the misty co olnes s of the morn,
Silent, and a bit forlorn,
W
hile Henry works busily over hi s c ar,
Shuffling about or gazing af ar,
Or stooping curiously to inspect a whee l,
Th e folks gathered round a strange loneliness feel-And loud sing the crickets ac ross the va le,
And long int o th e du sk li e s Henry' s trail.
W
ith r attle and ro ar he wave s good.by
To the farm, the f olks , the trees, the sky-A
cross the blue hills whe r e th e haze hangs cu rled,
Henr y ha s gone to convince the world!
�Gone
Away into the sunset,
Gone
As sure as I'm a live,
Gone
In his rickety invention-Henry 's gone to sell 'em
His
front
wheel
drive!
A great s a d , ideness the whole wor ld fills
As Henr y drives on o'er the lone dark hills
Into the suns et's gold and rose,
W ere a ll cross the west there goes
h
In the fa ding glare of the twili ght's close
The road whose ending no man knows •
.And in the dawn-mist before the busy day
Along the quiet highway he take s his way.
Down the strait long roa d the world re e ls by
And the eng ine drones and his hopes sing high,
Until 'neath the vaulting smoky skies,
Behold! t he City before him lies-And a ll is vast and strange and shattering
And ro ar and dust and s peed and clattering.
But the hall is dim and quiet inside
As the doors swing shut on Henry's stride-1'Vi th f ast-be ating heart and quick-se eking look
,
Ie seeks out a number from the little book;
Till th rough a dingy window he looks do-wn far
To where, parke d and locked, there stands his Car.
Then he nervously ' sits in the ancient chair
.And gaz e s with racing thoughts to whe re,
Behind the ground- glassed pane lled door,
The fate of the Vehicle lies in store;
He views mag azines on the table a ll in a ow,
But he t ak es from his pocket--Cic ero!
-- Then l ong behind the ground glass pane,
Elo quently Henry expla ins--in vain.
Painfully Henry turns to go-A moment he stays, and in his woe
Smiling sadl y , he murmurs low,
"Cicero, the ans, er is no!"
--Out unde the dark and lowering sky,
Where the worl d and the gusty wind roar by,
A d a million li ghts glare in the dark
n
And the skyscr ape rs tower black and stark,
Henry continues t o despe r ately strive,
And eloquently l ays forth his front wheel dr i ve;
But drearily hope and money go,
And he turns away, for the answer is No:
Until on a raw and indy day
He .st a rts on the we.ary homev ard way .
Under the weeping drizzly sky
The pu ddles and hot do g stands reel by;
The road lies black and wet ahead
And fumes of exhaust and oil spre ad
He avily o'er the monotonous lines
Of traffic, and dripping highway signs.
And s a dly back to the shut up farm,
Sadly into the shadowy b arn
�Henry drives; and gathe red round
That ni ght, they hear not his accordion ' s sound,
But wearily he tells his tale
How the dream of his life has come to fail-And of Henry'8 sorrow each feels his pa rt,
For ea.ch shares t he darkness of his h eart--Come
From out the misty distance,
Come
As sure as I'm alive,
Gome
Ba ck from the wondrous City-But Henry didn't sel l ' t=>.In
His front wheel drive.
Bowed o'er his desk in the dark and gloom
Henry laments his vehicle' s doom.
His s a d gaze wanders to his draftsman's tools
.And his books and compasses and rules,
A he mournfully shelves friend Cicero;
nd
And then on his accordion wailin low-The old tune he h a s so often played-Henry l ays softly "The White C0 ckade 11 •
On the Vehicle the sun has set;
Still--light and life lie before him yet-And "The White C0 ckade 11 swells out once more,
And once more Henry's ambitions soar
--Whither, is more than Henry lmows-But he rises, and to his de sk he goes,
W
onde r ing, with s1:Bpuncertain and slow,
And musing up at Cicero;
Pencil in hand, his inspiration grows,
Till fort h on the page his Philosophy flows:
And in poetry, keen and swift and bold,
His thought, his world, himself unfold-And the folks wonder rapt at his poetry,
.And they smile with Henry's Philosophy---Then the Vehicle come s on a wild bright ride,
And Henry's success fires t h e countryside-For the world Receives his poetry
And Henry's new triumph ha s come to be!
Hail! Hail! Hail! to our Henry's poetry!
Hail! Hail! Hail! to the works of them that see!
Hail! Hail! Hail! to his Philosophy!
In triumph
Comes Henry
In his homemade vehicle!
!My wife h a d a cow.
My wife h a d a cow.
M wife h a d a cow.
y
This is the forest primeval,
M wife had a cow.
y
If some poets were only bene ath it,
M wife had a cow.
y
Gloria in excelsis, no end,
( M wife had a cow)?
y
That's poetry, Henry--you and I
Have watche d our golden age go by.
You drowse on your white porch on the h i ll
�.
.. ........
And look dorm across on the old town still,
And the mist on the blue hills far away
Leads you away to another day:
You contemplate what you have done,
As with thoughtful brow you muse in the sun-Of the Vehicle and poetry,
And things that h ave happened to you and me.
And the old town dreams along the hill,
O'er the fragrant fields chirp the crickets shrill,
Swallows ride on the lazy breeze,
And the flowers nod to the hum of the bees.
In simple quiet the old town lies
Under New England's sunnner skies.
The wagon creaking vrith its load,
The rattle of old Fords down the road,
The mower's clack in the sweet new hay,
The fanner's chores pass the day away.
Far away in the summe r sun
·
You gaze on life, for your part is done.
Saturday eve your accordion's sound
In the parsonage gathers the folks around,
And "The W
hite Cocka de" is heard once more,
And the old tunes flow from your memory's store;
And you smile as t hey dance to your music's call,
Happy and revered and loved by all.
---The light glares dovm on Cicero,
And I fret at the words that I do not know.
Bent o'er the desk, I calculate
(His rebus gestis for the state)
But cannot solve, though oft have tried;
(The wind howls dark and cold outside).
Cicero, to· hell N
ith you!
Thunderbox, tell me something new-To ''The W
hite Cockade" my weary mind
As the old tune reels t hrough the wooden slats
Umrittingly leaves my Woes behind.
I wander back t o a summer day,
To the sun on the gre en hills far away.
Hen r y, I see you live and strive,
Henry, I ride in your front wheel drive-Together we ride through our old town
Into the west as the sun goes down-Together, Henry, you and I
Watch our golden age go by---PROGRFSS blares, and My Baby s Eyes
Have taken me, Henry, by surprise!
Tell me, Henry, --there clangs the bell;
M friend, in sil ence then,---f arewell!

It has been suggested that t 1 . 9 Granville Center News

showing the misuse

is
said that the people
maltreat the telephone
in two
ways,
first by long , dravmout conversations ,
and second,by intentionally overhearing
conversations on the
party line. In regar~ P.o the first point
it may be said t hat

not be used for ord. i n ~ everyday conversa ti on for

About forty~five
employes
are
now
working at the Drum
Shop. Chri st mas ord- · ·
ers , though late in ,
coming in, are coming
up to the usal am ount.
The Drum Shop was
founded in 1854 by
Silas

and
James P. Cooley. The
business is now owned by Ral ph B. Cooley . The Noble & Cool ey Comp any Is the

er of toy drums in
the wor l d .
psychological methods, and philosophy,
and some are willing
to ge t along without

" No books are very satisfactory in

stions." The · Bible'is
the most
helpful,
since most books and
magazines
printed
now are critical ra ther than instructive .
11
Too many follow
the wrong l eads. I
believe that everything in the New Testament is perfectly
reasonable . I
was
talking once with a
young man who had
been reading some of
these magazines, but
did not know the Gospels, and was tryint to get settled
in his religious ideas without havirg

with the Bible.
"Nothing

THE G.C.N. 1 S PLATFORM 01~ RELIGION--PAGANISIVI--YOUTH--THE CHURCH
First, in defense of pa g anism have we a few words: we have more respect for sincere idolatry than we have for empty and hypocritical
11 Christianity 11 ;
we have more respect for the savages who sacrifice a
human victim the.t holds it an honor to die for his gods than we have
for the 11 civilizationH that slaughtered millions when it sought to
"end war" by plunging into the most h orrible one in history. By introducing the concept of sin in Hawaii, the missionaries have demoralized
a clean, be autiful and innocent race. 11 Decent;' clothing introduced by
the missionaries has made thousands die of tropical diseas e s because
their bodies have been shut off from the protection of the healing
rays of the sun. 11 Civilization:r has brought into the islands Vila diseases against which the constitutions of the unfortunate natives have
no resistance. One thing that can be said for the .missionaries is that
t hey tc.ught the p e ople to read and write their own lan 91age, a beautiful tongue with legends and poetry that might not otherwise have be en
pres e rved.
Second, in defense of godless you th, wh e r e of are t he e ditor s. The
youth of previous generations pls c idly a cc epted from its elde r s the
sham observanQes of going faithful l y t o church on Sunday and f or get ting the Lord the rest of the wee k , be c ause the piou s you t h of pre vious years was tooindiffe rent to reli g ion to bother to d o anything
eise. The r e ason for modern youth' s br eak from t he chur ch i s because
he is religious, because he is interested enough to have a f ew i de a s
of, his own on the subject, an d is abandoning the hollow ritualistic
puritanism of his forefathers in quest of a real religion.
Third, we believe that we have become to~nvolved in the church.
We devote funds for the supp ort of Jesus 1 s church that mi ght b ett e r be
devoted to the furtherance of His principles: Jesus himself did not
found a ny churche s, he went about t he country s i de teaching hi s :nessage

CROSSING OTHERS 1 BRIDGES, AT THE ~~RONG TIME
One of our major vices is to concern ourselves With any era bi.it our ·own. We are either burrowing in history or "building for
the future 11 ; we concern ourselves With what
mi~ht have happened and what we think will
happen, instead of what is happening; our
interest is mainly in wherewe caine from and
where we are going, instead of where we are.
Our companies and cities get out bondTs'sues by which they thrust their debts on
forthcoming generations instead_ of paying
them themselves • .Our present is somebody else Is future, and our own generation has just
such debts to pay. vie feel it would not be
entirely unjust to round up the jingoists
and big business men that have thrust the
burden of their war on· a generation that had
nothing to do with it, and make them pay for
it.
--:The crash of 1929 was cau~ed by 11 building
for tomorrow": tomorrow never c Bme, today
found itself with a vast surplus on its
hands, the .America to be became suddenly too
intangible to prove remuner a tive to the America that is, and our "visionary" men w1th
the prophetic gift of ;r foresight" suddenly
fell out of the rosy clouds, down the chute
and onto the hard ground of the here and
now, rather uncomfortably sr.ocked into the
realization that an enterp1ffse will not pay
dividends now on the strength that U-will
b~ worth a million dollars in 1970.
h We
send our children ..to dancing school
when they ought to be playing baseball. Our
schools try to impress our children with the
duti e s they will have to perform as citizens
twenty yea r' s h enc e . Childhood is a beautiful
p eriod which they ought to be allowed to enj oy for its mvn sake: when the time comes
when they a r e interested in d ancing, teach
them dancing; when they are old enough to be
citizens , teach them citizenship.

- - -·- This is a study
of three lives from

in no wise ordinary
lives.For Wassermann
writes,and with rare
insight, of men whose

sufficiently
perceptive to sense
the proble~s, other

life, and suffi ciently courageous
to
face them

Doctor Kerkhoven
is a book of some
length and it cannot

WHY DElvIOCRACY DOESN 1 T WORK: WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM THE ANARCHISTS
(From Granville Center News, July 9,1932)
►·
•I
The Anarchists are usually confused with such destructive people as
nihilists and bolsheviks whose intentions are to blow up the government and grab the power themselves. The true Ane,rchists, however, are
and always have been pacifistic, constructive idealists, whose ideal
is simply that mankind can get along without government; in view of
the way we seem to be getting along with governn1ent, this is not so
far-fetched an idea as it might seem at first sight.
1
.rhe Anarchists are opi_)Osed to commun1.srr1, which with its consecration of all work, all property, and its citizens' very souls to the
State, they regard not as a "new liberty" and a salvation, but as the
worst kind of autocracy--a 0 state slaverytr. In attaining their ideal, ·
Anarchists believe in convi~cing so many people of the validity of
their doctrines that there wonit have to be a revolution. Anarchism
maint{3.ins that every man should be left to his own liberty, and that
it should be up to his conscience to use that liberty with proper consideration for his neighbor--which, if we were really civilized, e.s we
maintain we are, we should certainly be able to do. It believes in a
society without classes, without rulers and without people ruled; that
we should have leaders, not dictators, men spontaneously recognized by
their f'ollowers as the ones to be ·chosen to guide them, not rule them;
that mutual enterprises like the construction of roads and churches
should be undertaken by cooperation, not coercion, among the people,
and that workers should both own and operate the factories.
Frontier towns were run successfully on Anarchistic principles: if
any evil element developed, such as horsethieving and holdups, the people would get together in "vigilant comn1ittees 11 and drive it out. Ordinary democracy believes in hiring a government and a ;,olice force t-o
do these things for it, while Anarchism believes in attending to its
business itself. Democracy is "law and order", anarchy is order without the law.
An8_rchy is often condemned as being imprac tic.s.l and too ic'lP.Alistic;
it is strange that an age whose high ai.m seems to be to make everything 11 efficient 11 and 11 perfect" should look dubiously on an e.ffort to
make something-ideal.
We can profit by these Anarchistic principles. The trouble with us
is that we have left everything to the politicians and the government.
What we have to do about Prohibition and taxes is to get out and attend to a few of these things ourselves: use our votes, and know why
and how we use them; take an active interest in all elections, from
Granvillets Selectmen to the Presldent; organize and petition a referendum on the 18th Amenrunent.
There is no evil in democ!'acy or whiskey; it depends on how we use
thes~ things. Carlyle bla:ned his England r or setting up systems and
leaving her affairs to the systems: anarchy recognizes this, and believes in not having any system. We may never have anarchy, but we can
profit by its principles now: that our national success depends not on
a governmental system, but on us: our country has a system, and it 1 s a
good one: what we've got to do is turn to and use it; and when we have
stopped hiring gra.fteJ•s to do our jobs for ~and do them our-selves
instead; when dishonesty ceases to flourish because we shall have arisen from our shameless indifflrence and no longer let it flourish;
when Christianity becomes e mode of life instead of' areligion; then,
and then only , will Anarchism cease to call forth its challenge.

HOW ABOUT SOME SENSIBLE MANNERS FOR A CHANGE?
The human race is a slave to ~any idiotic
customs and habits, but there is none more
inane Wian that of obeying certain social
customs. We hold that social customs should
be made to fit our lives and that our lives
should not be made to correspond-lVith a lot
of archaic rules of society; that modern
life is hampered by many silly "rules of etiquett-e 11 •
As an excellent example of the utter
senselessness of some of these rules, let us
consider the custom of writing certain types
of notes in the third person. Everyone is
familiar with these epistles which commence
as follows: "Mrs. Nellie Swish regrets th at
she will be unable to attend Mrs. Fanny Whatsit1s lawn party on account of------." V\fhy
not use the more natural form and simply say:
"Dear Mrs. V/hatsit, I am sorry that I will
not be able to be present at your lawn oarty
because----"? This J.atter method expresses
the thought perfectly, but causes much less
pain to the writer and the recipient.
We often wonder why it is considered 11 ill
bred" or "bad manners 11 if a man does not remove his hat when he meets a woman.This custom is especially annoying under such circumstances as snow sto~ms,rainy weather, etc.
One may say that this act is a mark of respect, but i.f this is true, why should not a
womar-'. take off her hat when she meets a man?
Certainly men deserve as much reepect as do
women. Women are no longer considered the
weaker sex. No clear-thinking modern young
lady feels slighted if a man fails to doff
his headgear when he sees her.
Likewise, we consider ·many of the modern
table manners antiquated and unne~essary. We
feel that if! a person is able to employ his
spoon with greater ease than hls knife and
fork, he should be allowed to do so without ,
exciting exclamations of hor".'Or from all ab- ..
out him. After all, the reason for a meal is
to ~btain food in the best way one can.
However, we are quite in favor of any custom which is actually of some use or practical value. We do not contend
that one
should eat with his fingers, since this is a
waY, which is ne1ther neat nor sanitary.
We
think that men and women alike should wear
their hats whenever they fee.l like it. We
heartily approv~ of a custom which rend-er-s
our lives easier to live, but we say again .
that our social . habits should be of that
type just mentioned and that we- -shoi..1.ld be
perm±tted to live unrestricted by valueless
forms of "c.ourte.sy".

1920 that will outperform any gas wagon made today. The old fashioned steamers, however, were hard, and took a long time,to start, often
burned out or froze up, were difficult and expensive of upkeep, and
altogether so complicated and troublesome that public favor turned to
the more immediate and superficial advantages of the gasoline plant;
which were, self-contained compactness, ready starting, ease of upkeep, and comparative simplicity. And, as gas wagons are easier and
cheaper to make than steamers, car makers found it decidedly more
profitable to follow this trend than to try to overcome the many and
great difficulties then in the way of a practical steam car. Many gas
wagon manufacturers once made steamers; of them, the Whites have always conceded the basic superiority of the steam plant.
Because of the above-listed features, the gas engine, of course,
had and still has, many sincere adherents, whose misled belief it has
been that its disadvantages can be eliminated th1'ough divers superficial improvements hung onto a principle that is fundamentally impractical and always will be. The disadvantages of the old steam
cars, however, can be eliminated; they are superficial and not basic,
The old timers had to be fired by a match, in the way that a blowtorch is lit; a modern steamer gets up steam in 20 seconds at the
turn of a switch. Electric starting and electric controls, only
recently made possible, make simple, positive, reliable operation a
feature of the modern steamer, Burning out of the boiler is eliminated by the use of modern alloy steel. Freezing can easily be taken
care of, In ease of upkeep and simplicity a modern steamer can compete with any gas wagon. Self-contained compactness is not a requisite of the automobil0 plant,
One out of every four strokes in a gas engine is a power stroke,
During the other th1'00 tho engine has to ride around on its momentum.
If that momentum bo killed by slowing the cngin0 down so it cannot
roach tho next power stroke, the machine stalls. Gas wagon ads sometimes contend that the power impulse consists of a rapid, steady expansion of the burning gases against the piston, and is not an explosion at all; a notion easily dispelled by a few minutes' listening to
a gas engine without a muffler. Besides, if this were so, an eight
cylinder gas engine would have the absolute flexibility of steam,
which it obviously does not. The operation cycle of a gas engine
consists of a series of terrific explosions better suited to hammering
the machine to pieces than to the accomplishment of useful work. They
are effective for so short a part of the stroke that complication,
weight, and sluggishness are about all that can be gained by multiplicity of cylinders and "overlapping" of strokes; n. 16-cylinder car
has to have a gear shift, as well as a four.
�-2~
This is the way a gas engine works. It is the fundamental system
of it, and no amount of inspired tinkering with it can make it work
any other way than just that. Except for synchro-mesh and 11 free
wheeling" (the latter being great sport, but of little practical use;
both are said to have 11 revolutionized 11 the automobile industry), the
gas wagon transmission is the same as it was 30 years ago--which can
hardly be called progress. Such things as electric drives and other
flexibilizing substitutes for it have been too heavy, complicated,
costly, and inefficient, and generally accredited a failure; such
around-the-corner procedure is hardly logical as compared with having
a flexible power plant in the first place.
For any one purpose, and where a smooth, quiet machine is not required, such as climbing Pike's Peak, breaking a world's speed record,
or driving a sawmill, the gas engine is about as good as the steam
engine, and often handier; one given power plant and transmission
ratio can meet all requirements. Speed record drivers use the gas
engine, as more development has been given it, and with it they have
a better knowledge of where they are at. In the ordinary automobile,
however, the load is constantly varying, and each major fluctuation
in the load on the gas engine has to be met with a corresponding
change in the transmission ratio, that the machine may not stall or
race unnecessarily; constant gear-shifting and pampering of the power
plant make even the most luxurious modern gas wagon a far from pleasant thing to drive. The steam engine is universally adaptable and
flexible, and operates with full efficiency and effectiveness at any
speed; the identical same steam-powered chassis, without a single
change, is equally good at delicately maneuvering a ton of bricks
through the traffic of New York, and at speeding a luxurious limousine
100 miles an hour over the Lincoln Highway.
In a double-acting steam engine, every stroke is a power stroke.
Steam adrllitted to the cylinder gives a steady, smooth push, not a
terrific shock, to the piston for its entire travel, and back again.
The entire valve mechanism is a single sliding piece moved by an eccentric over two ports. The steam engine can turn over either way,
and reverse is effected simply by adjusting the valve travel so that
steam admitted will tend to drive the engine in the opposite direction to that in which it has been going. Save for dead centers, a
single steam cylinder is unstallable. Two such cylinders, with their
cranks at right angles so that one is at the full of its stroke when
the other is on dead center, compose an absolutely flexible machine.
It can start from any position of rest simply by admitting steam to
it. Its speed and power are unlimited by the structural difficulties
of the gas engine. The equipment for supplying steam to the automobile engine can, as described before, now be made perfectly reliable
and practical.
Summary of the Advantages That
Can be Built into a Modern
Steam Automobile:
NO GEARS TO SHIFT: No clutch to trouble with, no noise, no "free
wheeling 11 to run away from you; from Oto as fast as you care to let
it out, and back again, your only controls are the throttle and the
�-3-
brake. Reverse at the touch of a pedal; can be used to brake the
car on hills.
PICKUP TWICE AS FAST AS A GAS WAGON: Independent of momentum, every
stroke a power stroke, the steam engine responds instantly to control.
SMOOTHNESS UNKNOWN WITH A GAS WAGON: Because of its absolute flexi~
bility, smoothness is inherent in the operation of steam power,
and not the result of smothering a noisy, shaky machine with artificial counterweights mufflers, "vibration dampeners", 11 rubber
mounting"., "silencers 0 ., "it floats" devices, and the like.
BURNS ANYTHING from bootleg hooch to fuel oil, without even special
adjustment. As far on a gallon as a gas wagon of comparable weight
and power.
NO STINK: Does not have to be pampered with special gas; combustion
clean and complete, and does not take place where the cylinders are
lubricated.
MORE POWER for its weight than any automobile ever made.
SIMPLE as a gas wagon, with a rugged straightforwardness in its construction as opposed to the delicate adjustments and fickle behavior
of a gas engine. Modern electrical ignition and controls do away
with the complication and troublesomeness that caused the failure of
the old fashioned steamer, and make practical the modern steam car.
SAFE: Easy, positive control and pickup., combined with the nonstallable reliability of steam power, get and keep you out of jams
as no gas wagon can do. Automatic controls, safety valve, and
ample reserve strength insure against the boiler's blowing up (some
thing which hardly ever happened even to the earliest and most
primitive steam cars).
WATER does not have to be renewed any more often than in a gas wagon,
because all exhaust steam is condensed. Ample provision made against
freezing up in winter.
STARTING:
1) Turn on a switch.
2) Drive it.
No spark, no start pedal, no choke, no "carburetor heat controln, no
fumbling with the hand throttle, no stalling and second tries. Gets
up steam from cold to operating pressure in 20 seconds.
A GOOD-LOOKING CAR, yet built so you can see where you're going in
it. There is no reason why this should be exclusive to steam, but
no present-day gas wagon has this feature.

GE.NERAL UNPROGRESSIVENESS
..
Modernization ( also known a s · 11 progres.s 11 ) he.s brou.ght us many · things,
but where we gain, we m
ust also lose in compensati on; and wha.t we have
gained has not proved enti'rely good, nor has it proved completely profitable to part with what we had.
Characteristic of the old time was the spirit in which things were
done . Modernism is interested in "perfection" and 11 effi ci ency 11 , not
humanity; it is concerned . with making our li v9s 11 better 11 instead of
happier ; it would stimulate us to go somewhere in a hurry but will not
te ll us where to go, or why, or what to do when we ' ve come there . The
modernist is concerned with syst em, not with spirit; wi th abstract
jugglings of 1'l i.f'e 11 (with its sordid " mysteries" ), instead ·of with li.l.
ving; with 0 society 11 instea d of human beings; with profit, ,instead of
I enjoyment.
m.usic: ol d ~erican
1 t he For instance, pe op le, who played it hick music arose straight from
hearts of the
themselves, composed words to
1 it as they went along, danced their own dances to it, and liv ed their
lives to its melodies . Ja zz is s p iritlessly ground out by J,aid com. pos ers in a manufacturing system, to be peddled like junk in a ten-cent
store . Modernism has -substituted for the hilarious fling of th e old
square dan.ces, a lonely mooning. around the floor in drooly couples to
insipid manufactured blah. Jazz, supposed to have given rhythm to the
world, has rather take n it and made of it a dismal, insistent pounding
- .t,hat - i..~ obvious enough for the society sophisticate to unde rstand .
For instance , hwnor: The mode rn sophisticate with a stoical su peri ority refuses to give way to any spontan eous indica ti ons of the p ossibi lity of fun in his life ; he could not dance 11 Pop Goes the Weasel" or
banshee for five mi nut e s straight on getting the G.C . N. pre ss vehicle
started after 7 hours I work ; .real wit he condemns as "crude", masking
behind a pose of having a 11 de lic a t e 11 sense of humor the fact that he
hasn 1 t got any .
·
For ins-t.ance, motoring: . Every car in the old days was diffe rent;
some had one cylinde r, s ome had six; some r an by steam or electricity;
some had friction drives , planet ary shifts, ele~tric tr ansmi ssions, or
chain-and-sprocket hookup s; some had th e top gear where the r e vers e
should have been, or the boiler where t he springs to the driver I s seat

which the manufacturers call "smooth- flowing" a.nd ' streamlined ", the y

N. STEVEN~QN REVIEWS WESTFIELD ART EXHIBIT
Through the cour t e s y of the Springfield
Art League
a collection of oil paintings
will be
on view in the exhibition room of
t he Westfield Athenaeum until the end of
August.
This exhibit
contains a decidedly
inter e sti ng-group of landscapes, seascapes ,
s till-li fes
and portrai t _
s. The tone of the
exhibit is essentlally cheerful,and brilliant colors predominate throughout.
The l andscapes, including three views of
houses , •are pictorial in their effect ; Fairfie l d Rills, by Harry Wooley has reduc ed detai l
to a minimum in order to emphasize the
effect
of the vastness
of a clear sky and
the endlessness of the low-lying New England
hi lls. ---Luci a Holl erith's Spring in Washing ton , done in modified pointil lage , is mature
and pleasing. Of particular local inte r e st is App le Blossom Timey by Mary S. Klar
vvh o seems t o have been tutored in the Flemi sh s cho ol . Gau guin, Post-Impressionist and
master of brilliant, exotic color harmoni e s,
seems to have had a marked influence on C.M.
Cox 's Int erval e J ackson . Mr.
Cox's romantic
composition and his handling of color make
Int e rv a l e Jackson the highlight of the landscapes.
Of the houses, Lena Jorden 1 s Garden
is the best.
There are three seascapes.Maine Coast, by
Edi th Marsden,
is paint wasted. Blue and
Gold, by Dorothy HapgoodJ is both successful

MR. G. WRIGHT ON POLITICS
I
i
Now politicians by the score
Are with each other getting sore
And throwing mud that's sticky.
They're at it as they were of yore
And every one's an awful bore,
These politicians tricky.
If I could think of something new
'While weJ· re in this financial stew,
I 1 d put it in this ditty;
But I'm so full of campaign lies
There is no room for something wise,
Nor even something witty.

ARE AMERICAN IDEALS VALID? IF 80 HAVE WE
..TULY
1
Whether our lcng-chorished ideals of democracy are still valid is
o~e of the great questions of this time, and the G.C.N. has beeL wondering how sincerely the American citizon actually believes in democracy. 1rhis is something we should really like to find out e.nd a:ny
opinion· you have to offer, let's have i t l
'
Considering that men obviously are not equal, that it would boa
desolately- monotonous, hopeless world if' they we re, that furt hox•mo~•e
an enforcement of equality of all men would probably be profounrUy urjust to himself, does an .American r eally believe, as t he fathe rs did ,
that men are and ought to be equal?
Although history, :from Coperni,~us to the Wright Brothers, hns almost invariably proved the majority to be in the wrong, does he still
me.intain that it is proper that forty-nine percent of the people submit to the will of fifty-one percent? Although when he is sick he oon..
sults a doctor, and certainly does not call in the first twenty bums
off the street to vote on e.nd prescribe for his illness, does he still
think that this is the way to govern a -nation?
His forefathers .fought against taxation without represe:::itation BO
that he might su.ff'er worse taxation with representation than they- ever
did without it. They gave their lives for the right of man to dotermi~e their own problems as they saw fit, by means of their own free
government; yat only 70 years ago their sons gave their lives to pr'3 ver..t their Southern countrymen from exercising that v ery
right.
Instead of allowing the Conf'ederates to go on preparing the nocroes
for citizenship in a sane and orderly manner, they suddenly tu.rred
loose on the ~ountry a horde of ignorant Africans utterly unfit to be
f'ree ci tizans, worse oft: after em.ancipation than they were before; destror,-ing the grandest civi,lization this country ever had in the nrung
of 't'reedam" ••• Are these ideals still untarnished in our c1t1.zen's
eyes?
We drift towards socialism, a system for soaking the deser\Lng and
rewarding the undeserv1l1.g, sacrificing the competent to pamper the incompetent; our laws require that the non-taxpayers shall be per :n.:.tted
to appropriate all of the taxpayers' money they want for any extravag .s.:o.{'..B .whl r.b .f-..b.q,v ..m~v f.Rnr._v: WA so o.f' f' the .£Old standard. thereby denying our citizens their own rightful property; we watch the stool,: market go up when the val~e of money goes down jus~ as fast, and we like
it very much; wa hail the return of 11 oonfidence 1 , the very thing that
got us into this mess; we solve the problem of tattered and hungry
thousands by curtailing the production of the things these people need
so as to raise the prices and make the purchase of necessities harder
than everl
How did
~ e~er get to be the greatest nation on earth? Why is it
that in spite of our picnic parties and gas wagons and vulgarity and
billboards that you can climb a Berkshire hill and look out upon the
loveli est country in the world? Why is it that somehow we seem to have
picked the right man to run it, that weird as the methods may be we
are really curing t he depression? Perhaps if l ife were logical it
wouldn rt ba any .fun; and we have had our :run, and at soma }irioe,
too ••• Why has our citizen paid that price for 150 years, and does he
sti ll believo there 1s no better way?
.
The o.C.N. spent last summer proclaiming a better way. It is too
simp le, too sensible for us ever to adopt; but we do get along, and we
,e rtainly owe ourselve s a tribute , we who can be the· most illogical

COMMUNICATION
Editor, G.C.N.-Since you invit~
response and criticism from your r~aders,I wonder if you
would give some attention ta my speculations
about our
church here on the
hill.
I observe
that
the regular attendance has fallen off
considerably in the
past few years, In
the past the church
was a communal ins ...
titution and & center of ple asurabl.e
activity
in
the
township. This happy
condition apparently
no longer exists.
Why don't I go to
church? Why don 1 t ot he rs go to church?
And why does n't the
church realize its
I
decrepit condi t ion
and crusade and demand attention f:rom
-the people?
What do you the
editors of the G.C.
N. think about this
situation? --Here is
what I think: I·::,cl.on' t
go to-ohurch because
I do not feel the
need of it,and I can
get better music on
the radio, and also
mor~ of what 1 s going
on in the world. My
friends have c ar-s,
they come to se9 me
on Sunday or we go
see themo.And why sit
on hard seacs in a
stuffy building on a
nice day? I know myself that I 1 vo felt
nearer to God fishing
in
a
quiet
stream
or hunting
woodchucks,
but
that's just the way
I am.
Maybe other
people are different.
As for
having
my
soul saved, I don't
want it saved; I'm
going to make the
best of it here and
now.
As to why others
don 1 t go,I think the
reasons may be about
the s rune as :ni ne • I ' d
like
to lmow about
this, and if the G.
0. N.
could pro·,c'.~e
some spiri tecl. comment on the r:~.at ter.,
I'd be most happy,
because
I am s~re
I'd go to church if
it we re interesting
and had more connection with vital l:L.fe
inst ead of spiritual
hallucinations
and
v ague rhetoric.

That chur~h attendance has fallen
off I agree to be
lamentable. I leave 1'

As for the radio,
I will go a long way
to get away from a

it should be. The

is a communal institution; to which you

the East Bartla11..d road which commences opposite the 'Nest Granville

There were no holes in this document. Either Mr. i\lilliarn.s was a

11 Toto, Indian
says in 11 A History of West Granville Parish 11 :
captain., ',
son o.f Unquirarn.,
grandson of Nassajcowan, once called these hills his
o,vn.
He came into possession of the vaguely defined tract of land_ ,
solely because his father had roamed over it before him. Like many another of his race, he was ready to sell to th& vvhite man, since he
could retain the right to hunt and fish on the land, for this was the
only use he ever made of it.
Granville see:ns to have had many beginningso This was one of them.

ROCKS NOT THE ONLY THING GRANVILLE'S
HARDY PATRIARCHS HAD TO CONTEND WITH
All accounts say that Samuel Bancroft of
Springfield was the first man to settle in
Granville. 11 He came he:r-e., 11 says Rev. Kebbe,
pastor of the church at the Center in 1901,
11 in 1736 and
built a rude cabin in the unbroken wilderness in the northeasterly part
of the town,not far from the present schoolhouse". Th;i.s location was off the old Westfield road at what was latterly known as the
Hubbard-Hoi11ster place ;whatever may be l0i't
of it is now under the
waters of the
new Westfield reservoir.
Rev. T. M. Cooley, in his historical dis11 Samuel
course at the 1845 Jubilee, says:
Bancroft of Springfield, was the first settler· he'built the first rude cabin here,and
may be regarded as the patriarch of Gr~ville. He was a facetious, kind-hearted, industrious man,a little below mediocrity in stature. some of us remember him well when he
anuearod abroad, especially on the Sabbath,
in~his antique dress, with his triangular
cocked hat, and the still more imposing appendage
of a white bush wig.,inap-1ring• .th-,e
reverence of beholders. He was:one of the
first board of Selectmen in Granville,and in
1775 was chosen Reprosontative to the General Court in Watertown.
11 The first house in Middle Granville (now
West Granville) was built by David Rose,rnostly of.stone as a safe-guard against savage
invasion 11 • • • frGood and loving considerations"
seem not to have been permane~tly satisfactory to the Indians.
Rev. Kebbe tells us that 11 In March, 1775,
the town voted to raise fifty pounds to en~ourage fifty men to enlist as minute men,
and on April 20 of the same year another
company of men marched out of Granville. Sebeus Ball was captain, Samuel Bancroft first
lieutenant •••• Another company went out in
August, 1776, under command of Captain Ball.

FIFTY YEARS AGO
GRANVILLE'S PIONEERS WERE TOUGH
(cont. from p,2)
Besides those three companies many other
Granville men went to the fr~nt to defend
the new country. 11
Of the settlers of West Granville, Mr.
Short says, "strange as it may seem, West
Granville was not settled by people pushing
westward from the first settlement in the
town,but by a group of pioneers from Durham,
Conn. David Rose was the advance scout of
this group. He came with his family so far
as is known, and built a stone house on East
Hill, south of the main road and east of
south Lane. One can still see the remains
of this stone house, built with the capacity
of a fort for protection against savage invasion. However, it is to be noted that no
one ever fell under the tomahawk in Granville, although the people passed through nm.ch
fearful apprehension. Tradition has it, that
on one occasion when a child was born during
the night, no candle was lighted for fear of
the Indians."
We have had some hardy predecessors in
the old town. We 1 ve got a lot to live up to,

Old-time Granvillers knew how
to
dine.We are indebted
to Mr. 'Whitman for
this one:
"Here is a true
one of fifty years
ago and a Granville
host. We lodged and
breakfasted, and the
good old New England
custom was at least
prevalent for company.During the latter
part of the moal,the

YES, WHY?
Why do we, a free nation, inhibit ourselves with goverrunent? Why is obedience a
virtuo, why should what is "best" for us be
least pleasant, why have we made it wrong
for a man to do as he wishes?
Why can't we have more leaders and fewer
dictators? Why not more cooperation and less
coercion? Why do we, the people, hire legislators to make criminals out of us, policemon to put us in jail, prosecutors to keep
us there, lawyers to get us out again, an d
twelve ignorant men, the ignoranter the ba t ter, to pass on the affair? Why can 1 t we be
good because we want to, instead of because
we are scared to b e an7,thing else? Vifhy a re

Louis H. Everts
1879
Mr. B. H. Whitman has been kind enough to .forward us the
following Revolutionary Reminiscences from the above rare
and valuable book,through the agency of Miss Louise Stevenson. They are an invaluable complement to the G.C.N. 1 s historical ru.n d.
July 11, 1774, the town selected as a committee "to inspect the debate between the mother-country and the inhabitants of America", Mesrs. Timothy Robinson, Luke Hitchcock, Oliver Phelps, Josiah Harvey,
Samuel Bancroft, Nathan Barlow, and John Hamilton.
The resolutions subsequently reported by the committee and adopted
by the district were as follows:
11 1. Resolved,
That King George III is our rightful sovereign and
king, and that we will at all times bear all allegiance due unto him
(ed. note: in view of the part Granville later played in the Revoluticn, this appare n tly wasn 1 t much).
11 2. That
the inhabitants of this, his Majesty's province, and the
other colonies in America, are justly entitled to all the rights, liberties, and privileges that the inhabitants of' Great Britain ar e entitled to, which rights, liberties, and privileges are in a particular
mar.n e r confirmed to the inhabitants of this Province by Charter, and
that we would humbly request and confidently challenge these rights,
liberties, and privileges to us belonging, as free and natural born
English subjects.
11 3. That it is
our opinion that the aforesaid acts of Parliament
(Stamp Act, etc.) are calculated to perplex and ~nslave this, his Majesty's faithful subjects, and are in the highest degree oppressive
and unconstitutional.

REVOLUTIONARY REMINISCENCES
(cont. from p.4)
4. That in.order to obtain redress from the difficulties and calamities in which we are deeply involved by th0 aforesaid acts
of
Parliament, it :is our opinion that some un~.form and constitutional resolves be agreed upon, for a universal rule to be observed through all
the color.ies, whe construction of which we refer to the wisdom of the
General American Congress, soon to meet. And we would humbly offer to
their consideration, that it is our opinion that a suspension of all
commerce with Great Britain, under proper regulations, and a covenant
engagement of non-importation and non-consumption of their
manufactures, to be solemnly subscribed by the people, will be the mo:st likely
m0ans to produce the desired effect. And 'that such non-importation and
Lon-consumption agreement is nelther unwarrantable, hostile, nor treach erous, or contrar•y to our allegiance due our king; and that it is the
indispensable duty of every person who would reserve to himself
and
posterity th0 inestimable bl0ssing of liberty, by all constitutionalways and means in his power, to endeavor to avert the much dreaded consequences of those arbitrary and oppressive act·s.
11 5. That we greatly applaud the patriotic z. al of the merchants and
e
other inhabitants of Boston (e.n.: the famous "Tea Party' of 1773), nnd
especially the vigilance and assiduity of their committee of correspondence; and although we approve of the sentiment and.spirit of their
covenant p~esented to us to subscribe, yet we are of the opinion that
the same is rather premature and too precipitate, as it is a matter of
the utmost · importance to the British American colonies, and requires
the most serious consideration, fearing it will breed discord among
the inhabitants and that a division of sentiment may be ·destructive of
the good effect. We propose, theref6re, and rather choose t6 defer the
subscription thereto, but with the determination of the· American Congress •. .Arld do, as christians, promise and pledge our faith, that whatever constitutional determination · and resolves shall be agreed upon and
published by them, as a g0neral rule of observance by all the provinces, we will subscribe to, and in all particulars abide by. A faithful
adhorance to this, we make no doubt, may be the happy means to reduce
the ministry . to. a sense of their duty, and restore unto us our rights,
and harmoniously unite us to our mother-country, and be the lengtheLing out of the tranquility of the British Empire.
11 6. That we do abhor
all unconstitutional riots and tunru.lh:ous assaul ~s upon the person or estate of any one who is personally in the
execution of his own lawful business, but will, to the utmost of our
power · ~ndeavor that peace and order be maintained.
"7. That there be a committee of correspondence to correspond with
other committees in this and the neighboring colonies, and give due
information of infringements upon our rights and liberties.
118. That a letter of construct'ion be written by the Committee of

the version given elsewhere in this issue is correct: we know it was
Samuel B., and that he lived in Granville). To this company, t h e dis' trict gave the sum of 1 pound for each man 11 as an encouragement". An.other company of 73 men, s0nt out early in 1776, belonged to the 5th
Massachus ett s Regiment, commanded by Col. John Mosely, of Westfield.
The offi cers of the company were William Cooley, Captain; Edmund Barlow , Fi rst Lieutenant ; Richard Dickinson, Joel strong, and Sanru.el Williams, Sergeants; Joel Bancroft, Cle rk; Samuel Stiles, Drummer; Timothy
Spelman, Fifer; and John Cooley, Thomas Gillet, and James Coe, Corporals. The company was equipped with 73 guns, 2 bayonets, 4 swords, 680
flints, aud 52 pounds of powder. Fourteen of Granvillets citizens are
said to have perished in the service,--among them being IsaaG Chapman,
who fell at Ticonderoga, Deacon Luke Hitchcock (who died en route to
his home from the army, and was buried at Springfield), Enos Howe, and
John Bartlett. The latter was a private in Capt. Cooley's company, and
at the battle of White Plains,ho was cut down by a cavalryman,and his
head was so cleft in twain that the two parts thereof fell over upon
his shoulders.
Granville played a patriotic part in the trying days of the Revolution, a~d raised men and money for the service with0ut stint,while the
families of those who went into the war were provided by the district
with comfortable support during the respective terms of each soldier's
inlistment.
Upon the declaration of war against Great Britain in 1812,a resolution was passed "to petition the Congress to avert the calamities of
war and restore the nation to peace"; and one also 11 to present a remonstrance to Congress against an alliance with France 11 .It was also det ermined to choose a delegate to meet in cow1ty convention in Northampton, July 14, 1812, to take into consideration the alarming situation
of our country, and to make such representation thereon
as
shall be thought proper 11 • David Curtis was chosen to represent the district at the convention.

ter over the Drum
Shop Wednesday evening. The demonstration.
was staged ~t
th~ invitation
of
the Granville Grange
and was attended by
an interested crowd
of a hundred people.
According to Fire
Chief B.M. Hastings,
this engine has already
saved three
buildings in Southwick whose value has
been
estimated at
considerably
more
than the cost of the
engine:
$5,500.
Mounted
upon a Reo Speed-Wagon, the
engine's pum.p will
generate a pressure
of 150 lbs., which
is sufficient to jet
water
eighty feet
vertically. Such
a
pressure can be worked up by the 150
h-P• force-pump in
three minutes; and
considering that hydrant
pressure is
usually 80 lbs. only,
the 70-lb. increase
of pressure obtained
by the Southwick Fire Department's eng-

ine more than offsets the slight delay occasioned
in
getting up pressure.
The engine makes use
of any pond or other
reservoir of water

of' the fire~and carries a thousand feet
of hose in order to
cope with the difficulty of a distant
water-supply.

Walter Lippman's ideas on the N.R.A. seem
to click pretty well with the G.C.N. 1 s attitude. Says he to this effect: What about the
small man who is getting along as well as he
can, who never did make any selfish plundering out of the boom time? The man who cannot afford to lose what business he has by
staying open shorter hours; who cannot afford to hire more men 01~ pay anybody wages which thoy are not worth?
Is it American, is it fair~to badger this
ci t::_zen with cu'..., cons and placards and boycotts and accusations of being 11 upatriot ic '' ·? Many honost businesses, among them the
G.C.N. 3 conformity to N.R.A. provisions would
drive on the rockso
Long ago b:i,g businesses, among them the
railroans, voluntarily sought to amalgamate,
or enter agr e~ments of one sort or another
to end suicldal competition.They were thwarted by government regulation in the form of
"antitrust acts" and the like. Govornme::it
regulatioE is finally trying to corr..pel the
cooperation among ir~dustries that it so long
forbade. Why ~ave had this meddling in the

NOTEWORTHY INCIDENTS IN EARLY GRANVILLE HISTORY
In the days of the early settlement there was much grave appre:Len-sion touching probable Indian troubles, although the settlemer1t passe i
happily through the exciting periods of Indian depradations in Wester~
Massachusetts, between the years 1744 and 1760. Timely precautions ,.I\Jec· •
taken by the inhabitants to guard against dangers from the savages, T:1,;
first fort was built by Samuel Bancroft,in 1744, and the second,sllcr-~
ly after the erection of Mr. Bancroft's, by Deacon Rose. Deacon Ros~:s
fort, which was also his residence, was built of stone, and was tLc
first house erected in that part of Granville now called Tolland.These
forts afforded maYiy of the settlers havens of safety whenever the nem·
approach of Indians threatened danger]bu.t as before noted, no very serious demonstration was ever made in this direction by the savages.
Four of Granville's citt'3ens who served 1n tho last French war were
tent-mates during the camJ;:aig: 1. , and retv_~ning together to Granville at
the close of the war died t~era ma~y years afterwards at the respect ive ages of 82, 86, 89: and \?O.
Mention has already been made that mt'.1;.y of tho early settlers lived
to be very old an<i :i.n thi 3 c0:;:m0.::t.iC'n i:; ms.y be remarked that many of
them met •with accldsntal d·38.ths. Sa.w:u'.:ll Gil1et fell dead while walking
in his field; the first ch,2.th :in Gra~v1lle, 1739 .Samuel Bancroft reti..red in health and c.ied bofor,~ mvrnir.Lg; ,": 0~2.than Rose J who livod to be one
hundred and three yE)ars old, becamo dera!1ged shor t ly before his de ath ,
and for safek•3ep1n~, was confined .Ln the dwelling of one of his relatives.
The building took fire one daJ·, and Rose be1ng alone therein ,
perished in the flE.mes; Ephraim Manson w:t.ile wo:i:-kj_ng off his potash
at a late hou.:" of night, slipped into the boiling cauldron, while at
its most inte~se heat;
though he rescued himself so as to give alarm,
died in a few hou:i."s. The skin cam~ cff from his hands entire, like a
glove. Daniel Cooley, another early settler,
died of' an accidental wound, and Asa Burt was killed by the :fall of a tree.
Apropos of old Josiah Hatch, it is related that, driving to church
one slippery day in winter, he found his horse unable to make nruch
headway up a steep hill. "Well, 11 excJ. aimed Josiah 1 irif this is the way
to Hea·,ren, I I m not going! 11 and u·~te"!'lJ·· clis gu:::terl I he turned his horse
about and drove home. He once r·e.::r.2rt(Bd an~ri 1y to his son Jonas , "I

SHALL IGNORANT CITY SENTI!llENTJILISTS MAKE OUR TRAPPING LAWS?
I
r
( COl~lvIDIHC; ATION)
T0 the Editor of the Granville Centre News--
.
SIR:
Because of the fact tL.at your interesting paper is puhli shod
in and !or a more or less rural community I should like to take thi.s
opportunity to expound my views concerning the Anti-Steel Trap Law aR
set forth in the statutes of this state . This law as I am farnili.D'.:'
with it, prohibits the use of ru1y trap With the exception of those
trpes whi?h procure or shall I say, attempt to procure, the animal de sired alive and unharmed or cause immadiate deatJ.! as the animal comes
into contact with the -tr·d.i,. This ty pe of trap has already boon r ved
very unsatisfactory in a number of· ways .
In the fi rst plw::e , these
traps have faiJ.ed to even apprc•ach the abi lity of the steel traps for
taking pelts;
secondly, they aJ•c clu.mfl'~T to and.le and aro very difficult to r,onceal;
and lastly, their pr::.cc j_~ fJ.lmost prollibitive in itsalf.
Their sole advantage bherafor~ l1eH in the fat that they prevent cruelty, which as I will prove, R.ctuu:;_ly does not exist . The abavt;
statement I shall endeu.vor to c:.:mfirm by .lie use of actual truths a...:d
not by the use of any exaggerations or p:rojudiocs. When an animal 1s
caught in a steel trap wh:LGh grips him ti5lltly by the log, inside of
ten minutes the blood stream is halted between tbat. part of the le
~hich is gripped by the trap and that sec tion of the leg whicll is o:
r;he outside of the trap,
thus producing a condition which renders it
without feeling.
It is thus proved that steel tx·"ps give r1·al:tioally
as much consideration for the animal as the imprat.:tical box and kille l'
traps, and probably nru..ch moi-•e than it deserves in ma11y cases . The sh~ 1
trap also combines the minimUr.1. of cost and weight together witll tlle ,
maximum of compactness, thus offering what so far has proved to be the
only practical and effective trap on sale .
Granville, because farming is practi:Jed to no small extent wi thi~1 '
its boundaries, is one of the mru1y towns which have been affe(;tod by
the steel trap law. In the wj_nter months a num1:'cr of farmers hm·e undoubtedly been deprived of tho rigr. . t to make some money when all other r
occupations ir. the farming clist:cicts come to a s t :.:ndstill. By now you
should be sufficiently convinct.:d to ask the queftion, "How did such an
idiotic law ever come to be enactE:d? 11 The anfwer to this is surprisingJy simple. To begin with,
a gr0at d 0 al of foolish propaganda was
spread around in the c~ t-ies depic'c:i..ng ~cc:.i0s which were intended to
GXCi te a person's imagina"ifon to such a c.ogree that they would 11:.stantly become prejudiced against somothini::; 'Vv11lch, as it has worked out,
they knew little if a..."1.yth:::.:.--ig abrn.J.t. In this tl1e vaJ"lou.s societies succeeded . Bee ause of -shi s tommy-ro 1; when the ·vot 03 for F,nci against steel
traps were tabulated it was fo'.lnd that a questi.on afft:cting an entirely ru~al minority had been sattled by an entj_re1./ u.rbr..n majori tJ which
knew nothing of the problems cor.fron1~lng the fR. :,•::11ers and trappers. The
backers of the Anti-~teel Trap :S&.w now perce:tvj :ig that they have procured the upper hand, resolved. to k .-~,"l p -t:r.is 1.aw in effect by s :·-reac.ing
even more propagB!.:..da concerning the beno{i t and SEi t isfaction whi:-h the
steel trap law was giving .
However,
after this law had bc;;c-m enfo~:ci::-d for ahout one year a new
angle which t:.1.ofle in fa.vor c1f -tho 2~--_o.ct,G,..tt t a c. failed to foresee,
sprans into vtew . This seri cus p r o -·;_ em was the el ~.m2-r.ation. of the mu c..h
increased supply of pre datory an i ,:·':i.ls and verr,1in which was Ci.l::ectly
.,aused by the law which they themFiEl:;_ves h2d enacted. Because the u:Je
of s teel traps , which was the or:ly metho;i of ridding the forests c(
an excess number of these predatOI' E', had been prohibited, the natural

STEEL TRAP LAW
-
(cont. from · page B)
supply of game birds and animals and song birds had become deplorably
weakened. The skunk is a fine example to use in illustrating the abov0
sentence . The estimated number of skunks in this state a year ago ,as
in the neighborhood of 20,000; an astounding number considering t h c
size and heavy population of Massachusetts . Skunks being quite prolif ic , have been, and undoubte dly will continue to increase until we are
given the right to trap them by a practical and sensible method, because those animals which preyed upon the skunks, with few except ions,
have long since become extinct i n this state.
Still further proof that the :~tee l trap law is now imprac tical lies
in the fact that eve n the comp aratively few poople who inhabit the
farming districts have succeeded in securing a slight r eferendum in
spite of the fact that they are outnumbered ten to one by their narrow-minded opponents in the ci t i e s . Now 1 l:1.owever , the friend s of the
anti-steel trap law are not intending to l eav e the fa r mer and trappe r
even the slightest bit of lee way , for they have recently secured fr om
a group of sentimentalists enough signature s to make very probable the
addition of even strict er passages to n law which has already proved i ts elf to be correct not even in theory. Let us then do a11· we can
to prohibit thi s se lfish code from coming into existence .
Lastly I w-01..lld like to make myself clear upon a fe'lfo! points whi cll I
may not have imp_~essed cl e2rly upon the reader's mind. I am posi b.vely
ag ai n st unnecessary cruelty and extermination.
Nhen the day arrives
when all the above-listeli pro blems have been solved by anything more
efficient, c onvenient and satisfactory than the common steel trap , I
and I am sure many others, will be glad to heartily accept this new
creation . Until that time, however, I am positively convinced that the
most l ogical and practj_cal solution to these problems is the much-ne e ded return of the steel trap .
·
I, and I am sure many others , would be very much interested to hear
the G.C.N. 1 s ideas on this vital question.

Mr . Ripley stressed the initial and
upkeep . taxes for a
fire truck, adding
that we have had few
but forest fires in
the past, and these
can be taken care of
without a fire engine.
Mr. Brooks, numb~
er three speaker for
the affirmativeisailed into his case
with eloquence and
figures to prove it:
11 Granville
because
of
no
protection
pays a high insurance rate.On all farm~
homes,and factories,
I have heard from
several
companies
that the insupance
would be much less.
Our neighbors paid
~~150 upke.e p on their
fire truck, we paid
~6 75 . 75
last year
for fo r es t fires. In
five or six years
the engine could pay
for itself."
Mr. Patt Jr. noted that the South wick demonstration
showed
that their
engine could protect
us as quickly as one
of our own could,and
could
reach
West
Granville just about
as readily. uwe have
quite a few industries in the town 1 11 he
replied to the affirmative1s plea for
p,rotection of them,.
'like the Box Shop.
As for the Box Shop,
well I work in the
Box Shop,and if anybody dropped a match
in there five or six
fire engines couldn't do anything a~out it. 11
Time out for consultation was requested, and granted by
Mr.Patt; after which
Mrs. Fox led off the
rebuttals
for the
negative,
briefly
re·questing the details of the affirmative's fire engine,
e.g. expenses and on
what spent. To which
Mr. Hansen replied:
11 I wish
to say that
we don't happen to
be
the purchasing
committee
on that
fire truck, 11 and sat
down.
Mr. Ripley read a
letter from a Westfield insurance company saying that no
insurance reductions
were granted Southwick
and Woronoco
because the houses
were not within 500

GRANGE DEBATE
(cont. from p.2)
"Our second point
in favor,''
said Mr.
Dickinson next,
11
is
practicability. Certainly a fire truck
is
practicable in
this town."He reminded his hearers that
a fire could throw
men out of
work
worth $50,000 a yea~
and that the chances
of rebuilding here
with inadequate protection would be about nil. He said
that southwick 1 s or
Blandford 1 s engines
are 11 too far away to
insure proper protection in case of
fire. Our own could
cover all our buildings. We have big
ponds or large brooks to take care of
every section
in
town. 11 We can, he
said,make fire lines
in the forests, install lightning rods,
keep our chimneys in
order; but once a
fire gets hold,there
is no stopp1ng it.
Also,
protect ion
would bring more people to build in the
tow:n,lower insurance.

Iron Men, what with

pitching,A. Kaynor's
100% performance on
first base, and phenomenal hitting,rallied in the fourth
for a margin of 12-3,
This was too much
for the Iron Men,who
rusted under the strain and in fact
crack ed up completely with the turn of
the tide that brought the score to about 20-12. East Granville

he instructed

they did.

The proponents of anarchy concede, I believe, that in order to
attain it the world would have to be peopled by perfect human beings.
At present the world is peopled by good , bad and indifferent
individuals, the latter constituting a very large majority.
And although our anarchistic friends sneer at present laws and
society manners, they suggest no method whatever of de aling with
the problems of life in this earth as it is but just indulge themselves with idle dreams that have no possibility of realization .
Why be an anarchist? Why not wake up, take life as it is, and
enjoy it?
---A Reader
HERE IT IS
"That the world would., for anarchy,have to be peopled by perfect human beings". So far as we know, no anarchist has ever assumed or desired this monotonous and unenjoyable state of affairs.
We do not concede this point.
We hire a government to attend to business which we ought to
attend to ourselves~ It consists of people just as good, bad, and
indifferent as we are,
and therefore cannot be expected to do any
better than each individual,assuming his own responsibilities, can
do on his own hook. If he is irresponsible, he can ruin only himself in an anarchist world;
if he is in power in a democratic
world, he can ruin a nation.
(Before we go on, we wish to state that we differ from orthodox
anarchism in that we do believe in private property, as being essential to true individualism and real liberty).
It is well known that government intervention in the cottongrowing business is necessary only to clean up the mess made by
previous government meddling in the form of the Farm Board's activities. It is well known that if government intervention had not
previously prevented cooperation among big businesses it would not
have to be compelling it now. China,
one of the soberest nations
on earth, may well keep shy of the shameful record that Government
and prohibition have to show for themselves over here.
As for methods, all of the world's greatest progress, from
railroads to religious toleration,has been in spite of government,
not because of it. Frontier towns ran successfully on anarchistic
principles. Our own Town government, a simple getting together of
free people for the adjustment of mutual matters in the town meeting, straightforwardly and with a minimum of red tape, is not far
from the anarchist ideal.The only thing that saved New York City's
citizens from being robbed by the Tweed Ring of any mo r e millions
was the spontaneous rising of honest men and the overthrow of the
government. The only thing that saved New Orleans from the slimy
grip of the Mafia, from which the cowardly government had failed
to free the city, was a wholesale lynching by the decent men of
the community, along 100% anarchistic lines in spite of the law.
This country has more laws and more policemen than any other
country in the world,and it also has more kidnaping, racketeering,
murder and depravity than any other country in the world.How great
an argument is this in behalf of Government?

COMMUNICATION & REPLY
(cont. from p,3)
We have tried chaos; how about anarchy? True civilization needs
no government, and if we are not civilized, no system, democ ratic ,
socialistic,
or what have you, can make us civiliz ed . The anar~
chists are the only ones who have naathe courage to f a ce this .
They have no Utopias, no panaceas; they are not idle dreamers, but
practical men impatient With superficialities. They ask not, 11 What
kind of' a government do we need? 11 but,
"Is government really the
thing we do need?" The Oneida anarchist community, according to
visitors to it, was the most prosperous and happiest in_the country; until it was finally destroyed by fire. Not only can modern
anarchists talk about their ideas, they have bought land outside
bf Detroit and tried them. What's more, they work!
Only by education can real civilization come. The anarchists
through their publications and the Modern School in Stelton, N.J.,
are doing what their s mall number can toward it; for the idea of
ushering in the milleniuJn with a bomb was abandoned 20
years
ago.
We have not sneered at anything. We don't have to. Whatever we
oppose,we go for it straightforwardly, and all our pages they want
are wide open for our opponents to meet us in the sunlight on our
own ground.
As for being awake,don•t you worry about us. As for taking life
as it is, that's what makes us anarchists. As for enjoying it,
thank you, we are having a swell time!
REST OF THE DEBATE
About That Fire-Engine--Here it Is
For the benefit
of those who may
still be intere~
sted in the Grange's
debate on
the subject of a
fire engine, we
here resume last
week 1 s
article
where it so abruptly
left off,
namely after time
out for consultation before the
rebuttals:
Mrs . Fox led off
the
rebuttals for
the negative, brief ly
requ esting the
details of the aff -
irmative 1 s fire engine, e.g. expenses
and on what spent.To
which Mr. Hansen replied: 11 I wish to say
that we don 1 t happen
to be the purchasing
committee
on that
fire truck," and sat
down.
Mr. Ripley read a
letter from a Westfield insurance company saying that no
insurance reductions
were granted Southwick
and Woronoco
because the houses
were not within 500
feet of fire hydrants and they
were
more than 2 miles
from a fire station.
He added that we had
no town water suppl:¼
and brought up the
difficul ty of maneu-
vering the fire engine on Grru1ville roads in the winter.
Mr. Dickinson rebutted: 11 We have consulted three different
companies and
find that the rate
would be cheaper. We
suggest that you change companies. 11
Mr. Patt Jr.: 11 We
haven't
found out
much about your fire

Mr. Short, in his
"History of West Granville Parish 11 ,says
of Sheriff Phelps:
John Phelps, for
18 years High Sheriff of Hampden County,is the second man
to be noted (the 1st
being Col.Robinson).
Much tradition has
grown up about this
man. He served from
1813 to 1831, and was
appointed by the G~vernor,the first under that $ystem. The
old English idea of
the sheriff as the
"first gentleman of
the
county II
was
still
regarded in
those days, and the
appearance of
his
brass
buttons and
buff vest was a si#nal for rrhats off •
He was faultlessly

This is the last G. C.N ., f o r th e time

and those
who have hel ped us for their assi stancG ,
The promises W9 made at the b egir..ning of
the summer we have in tho main f a il ed to
live u p to. The Chief Editor in his desi re
to mak e the pape r bet ter sunk much cas h
into a no-go od mime o g rG.ph whose shamefully

As much fro m running out of subj ects a s
from anyt h ing else ,
there have not beer..
so many p i ctures as we s a id the r e woul d
be , And ther e have be en eight issues ins tead of the p romised ni ne .
On the other hand , d e spite the sl oppy
printing of earlier issues, we have n o~
sold you a si ngle comple te ly ill egibl e
line, which is mor e than we can s ay fo r
previous y e ars '
records .
The pictures ,
though few, have, we think, be en be tte r
than they ov e r were before . We have had
more news , more interesting articl e s , than
in the past . Des pite page-7 vagari e s , we
believe you will find,
on lo oking back o v e r your fil e s of the G. C . N.
(if you have
su ch t hi ng s), that the old journal has ma tured a lot , The editorial po l icies a re
best l e ft to sp e ak for them s e lves .
For these last issues , we h a ve gone ba k
to printing with the goo d ol d White Elo pharJ.t ,
a sinfully messy antique , but i t
works . We have .narrowe d down the l ayup so
that all of each page prints ,
and so that
the thing lo oks less sprawly and mor like
a newspape r.
In sho rt,we hav e made the G. C. N. pretty

TO ALL OUR PROBLEMS WE CAN ONLY FIND THREE ANSWERS. LOOK 'I'HEivi OVER
The G.C.N. 1 s various platforms and ideas, while oloquent, hav-2
perhaps
been a mite hazy to our readers. Now that we have clarified them unto ourselves, we shall start the sum.mer right and clarify them to you. By subjects, here they are!
ANARCHISM. We believe that if we could so organize and conduct
ourselves that we could do without governme~t,we would be the better for it.That is why we have called ourselves anarchists. We are
against communism,
fascism,
and all other forms of racketeering,
buck-passing,paternalising ar.:.d despotism. We are not confiscators,
bomb-tossers,
or assassins.
Some anarchists have been, and it is
their acts of violence that have given anarchism a bad name.
The
essential principle of anarchism is Eothing wicked. Most Ar~1ericaris
are really anarchistic,
although they might be shocked to be told
so.
We believe i:r: the liberty and reeponsibility of the individual .
Essential to this is the institution of private Rroporty . We have
little patience with abstractions like 11 sOVLoty 1 and uthe s tato 11 •
Anarchism does not imply lack of discipline, except thut it stands
for the only discipline worth having : the self - discipline oI' solf respec ting Americans, not the authori tnrian dis0ipline of cl ildren
or serfs.
It is more easily possible to live according to those pri~~iplos in small,
semi-rural communities like our own, where gov0rEmont can be reduced to a mir...imum.
There is a movement tOY\JFLrd dece~tralization going on all over the country, end it should be ensouragec1.Specialization has made tho various sect1ons of the country too dependent on each otrwr, and has caused much of our present distress
oe account of trj_e lag in distribution ar.d of unfor-soen changes in market prices
n.Ld weather. The more of what it
needs that each communi by can 1jroduce for 1 tself, the less i t will
suffer from changes in market prices . That J.S why the old - fashioned
farmers of New England are better off th n mos I.:; i'armer~ today . '.Phis
may not be efficient (except for th0 saving on transportation) , but
we have seen how high the cost of efficiency can be.
WAR. The people of one cou~try seldom have anything serious against the people
of another countrt. Not very many really want
war.
Wars fl._ro
quarrels between governments for which the people
have to suffer.
If t,he people could do away with governments and
mind their own) business there wouldn I t be any v1ra1 s.
RELIGION.
Every man's religion is his own busin0ss. We havo no
i.ntention of dogmatically forcing our religious ideas on anybody
olse any moro than we will tolerate havin g anybody else's forced
on us. Th ere is no healthier influence than the .free interdrnnr-;e
of ideas, which we will welcome with anybody at any time.
Como up
and soe us.
GOVERNI1;;ENT. There is either liberty or d0spot;j_sm . 11 Solf- govi,..'rn ment11 is not govorn.rnont, it is motaphysJ. cal nonsense;
it is also
what democracy is supposed to be.
Actually lomoera0y is a rnckct. r1dden political machine to which w<? are content to pa_,s the buvk ,
LAW.
Law is
the writing down of -.;ustorn and etl ies whid1 th.:;
c orn.muni ty lrns worked out for i ts-:;lf 1:\ ny-way . It is a dead wcig'l.t
.
..
and a waste of tho people's monoy.

THE ANSWERS
(cont. from p. 3)
chaos:
we ought rather to learn how to live without them.
We believe, however, in freedom of choice:
that those who choose to
continue living under law and government should be allowed to do
so,
and that it is the mutual duty of them and the ar~archists not
to interfere with each others 1 mode of living.
If the anarchists
are a minority it is their duty to give in, convert the community,
or move out; if the authoritarians are a minority,
it is they who
must give in,
convert the community, or move out, All this can be
accomplished only by decentralization and the reduction of local
interference by state and natior.cal governments to a minimum.
BUSINESS AND LABOR.
If business is left alone it can take care
of itself better than anybody else can take care of it, and at
less expenso to the taxpayer. To either pamper business by protective tariffs
or restrict it by N.R.A. 1 s is to enforce maladjustments from which it is very hard to recover. The law of supply and
demand is more effective than any law any government can pass, and
it cannot be repealed,
a fact we might as wall face before it is
too late.
Labor has suffered much discrimination ar;.d oppression and still
suffers much. But it was one of Karl Marx's owr: beliefs that Labor
also must take care of its own salvation. To that end workers must
be free to organize ur_ions or ar.,_y other organizations they choose.
But the American people will not stand for a dictatorship of the
proletariat any moro than _they will stand for a dictatorship of
anything else.
DISTRIBUTION. We agree with the S ocialists that this country
is suffering,
not because of inadequa t e production but because of
inadequate distribution .
But we do not be l ieve that the solution
of this is socialism, that is to say , passiqs the buck to the politicians. We agree with Ogden Mills that 11 We shall never solve the
paradox of want ire the midst of pler..ty simply by doi:1g away with
the plenty." We do not see why private initiative and enterprise
cannot take care of the problem of distribution as well as it has
of tho problem of production . Various cooperative exchanges and
barter league's have done a great deal toward this already. The initiative must come from those concerr..ed, ar1d without a government
to wet-nurse them it probably would.
TAXES. We believe that we should pay taxes only for what we
r..oed and that we should get what we pay for . That :ls the rea.so n
for our stand on the street-light situation l ast year . If we want
r..r,,ul ty, let us appropriate money for charity . Ii' we appropriat.0
money for street-lights, let us use it for street-lights .
MONEY. Each dollar is supposod to consist of a definite a.mount
of gold to which the holder of a dollar bill is er.titled.It is his
property. Without his permission, the Adrni:aistrati.on has confis;..:ated half of it and the other half it won 1 t let him c! ollect, Thoro
is no excuse for this as there is n ow more go ld in tlle treasury
than over before in the rmtion 1 s history . Be0ause we aro all botl1
buyers and sellers, raising p ri ces by i1_flati on e an do no ul tirnate

THE OLD GRAIN MILL, CRAIG MILLS, NORTH GEANBY, CONN,
This mill us13d to grind most of the wheat, buckwheat, and corn
grown by Granville farmers. It is owned by Mr. Ollie Goddard, in
whoso family it has been for about 100 years. Mr. Goddard has kept
it in an excellent state of preservation, and with very little repairing it could be operBtecl today. Driven by water-power, it was
remarkably automatic. Most of the driving gear was wooden, mainly
by pulleys and belts, also iron and woqden gears. A silk-coverod
rotary frame sifted the flour into fine,coarse.:, and. bran. Belt convgyors carn.ed the buckwheat up to the third storey for winnowing
by a fan mill .
There was a sJ)ecial geo.r .for lifting out the millstones so they could be resharpened with special chisels.Huge beams
and broad pl~,nks ,
all hand - hewn , make i t the envy of antiquarians.
Mr . Goddard has been offered a considerable sum for the banisters
on the stairs alone . In the background is virgin forest. Other features Of the God.clard place ur0 t mG trout which Mr. Godd a rd feeds
dttily w5.th bread , and a tree growing out of solid rock. In the old
d ..~ys
apple br·andy was l eft at the doorstep,
and any who wanted it
took their fill and dropped their money in the box. Th e house door
was never locked. Mr. Goddard himself operated the mill only about
40 years ago, chiefly to grind corn. On the place is also preserved
an old-fashioned water-driven up-and-dovvn sawmill.

(cont. from p.l)
ent situation is a
direct result of the
depr·e ss ior .
City workers have
li ttle control over
their wolf'are
and
when thrown out of
work, lose t he tools
of production . When a
condition of general
unemployment had established itsolf
'
they began to return
to the farms whence
they had come. They
returned a..~d continu0 to roturn in far
greater numbers because there they can
earn a living, many
of them on a few acres they Lave bou 6ht
with their accumulated s 8.vings.
But while these
men and women are
squeezing a subsistence from tho soil,
the sorry plight of
the farmer is heard
from every direction
of the compass. Even
after discarding a
good deal of this as
political ballyhoo,
there is doubtless
much truth left. But
why should oxperienc:ed
farmers
fail
where the inexperienced succeed? Is it
not b0cnuse the far~er , heeding the ad,
vice of agricultural
experts, like everybody e l se in the 192O 1s7bo1a1no a specialist?
H~
devoted
a ll his land to potatoes,wheat, corn or
some
other single
produr:-. t;
or perhaps
he went over entire ly to dairy farming
as did so many in
-4New England.
When
the market for the
farmer I s parti c ular
product slacks, he,
a producer of food,
faces starvation because he has not the
money with which to
buy
the necessary
supplies which
he
does not grow.
In the meantime,
the former city worker, growing practidally everything he
needs, reJoices in
his
newly-ac quired self-sufficiency.
Specialization
may
assure profits
in
times of plenty, but
in depressionsj it
seems wiser t0 grow
for home consumption
than
to
continue
raising s pecialized
crops at a l oss , for

WHO BUILT THE .ARK? OR THE CASE FOR CAPITALISM
The other night we attended a .. Com.nru.nist ainti-war demonstration
in Ur:.ion Square, Ne'N York City.
It consisted of a vast crowd of
people---about 20,000--, m'J.n~r of them carrying placards reading
"we want jobs, not battlesh1ps 11 , 11 Down with bosses' war and fascism" etc.; allowed, unc:;er police surveillance, to block traffic
for several hours whlle tb.ey stood and listened to innumerable
speeches through loud speakers.
The gist of the speeches was invariably the sarne,
and their appeal rras purely emotional without
any constructive plan proposed. Communism does not appeal to logical minds,
but it does appeal, for how many people have logical
minds? We respect the Communists because they have organization,
leadership, and enthusiasm. But organization to what end, leadership whither, and enthusiasm for what?
'I'h13 theory of Communism is the abolition of the capitalist system, the substitution of production for consumption for production
for profit,
and a government by the working classes through democratically elected representatives;
organized into regional units
called rr sov iets 11 •
1,1n1.at is capitalism? Capital is what those interested in conducting an enterprise put into it so it can operate. 'rbey will not
put anything into it unless they can gat something out of it,
and
;n fact the vas~ majority of investors in ~od~rn corporations ~re
interested only in what they get out of their investments, l eaving
the o.ctual conducting of the business to Directors .. What the or)e:n·ators of an enterprise get out over what they put in is their profit . 'rhe Communists have a great deal to say against the profit
motive. They may abolish profit, but they cannot destroy the profit motive until they have changed human nature. They will never c1o
that. If a company cannot run at a prot·it, it 1.:vill cease to run
and throw its workmen out of work.
It is true that if the com:9any

(cont. from p.2)
just made expenses without any profit,
it could run: but without
the chance of a profit,
the investors would never have put their
capital into the
enterprise and there never could have been any
company at all. The Corrununistic argument is that if the government
or similar disinterested agency would set up and operate the enterprise, profit would not be necessary,and by primitive barter all
products could be distributed to those who needed them . 'rhat is an
excellent idea, but we are against it.
In the first place, why do
away with profit?
What is profit? It is what you get out of something over and a bove what you put into it.
The ordinary worl.r...man, wh om the Communists v:ould help,
is just as anxious as anybody else to get bis
profit from his work, to accumulate p:c operty and enjoy l uxury . He
is just as much of a capitalist as h i s employ e r .
The notion that
profit is taking something away from somebody is rotten nonsense.
The nearest it gets to such a thing is to withold from somebody
that which he has no business to have.
To run industry the Communist way would require an absolute despotism intolerable to any self-respecting and liberty-loving American citizen no matter to what social class he belongs.
The destruction of individual ini tJ.ative,
the degenerating paternalism,
and the bureaucratic nature of the Communist state embody potentialities for graft, retrogression 1:1..nd waste which are practically
It is true that investors have in many cases gotten more than
their due share of the returns from indu[:try, and that the workrn0r...
and the con s umers have been brJJ1mered.
But these are evils v1i thin
the capitalist system. They are not excuses for abolishing the system. The y can and shou.:.d be remer:1ied.
Who will run the C orn.::nunis t state? Not the workers. They do not
know how to run a st&te~
they don 1 t care to run a state~ and they
\Jl;ill be busy vrorking. The Communist state will be run by the politic al bossE!S of the Com~mnist party. The working class will simply
have shifted from one set of political bosses to another.
Instead
11 1J1mge-slaves ;r
of being
they will be the slaves of the Communist
state.
We are extremely suspicious of the benefits to be gained simply
from changing a system. It is dodging the problem instead of solving it, for it is the same problem no matter how you slice it.
PermJ.t us to repeat the G.C.N. 1 s three-point program.
We don't
think it will do any harm:
1) We must stop buying things with money we hav e n't g ot.
2 ) We must stop passing the buck.
3 ) We must mind our own business.

G.C.N. PROVERBS ETC.
On every road that leads into debt
there is a point at which it is too late
to turn back.
It will not do to wander along without knowing where we are going.
The dangers are in p lain sight: either taxation so severe as to put a brake on the
momentum of recovery which we have so far
achieved,
or on the other hand a growin 6
national debt ending only in disastrous
printing-press inflation. If we are to es ..
cape the dilemma we must make our plans
r..ow.
Soon the
opportunity to do so will
have been lost and one evil or the other
will be thrust upon us. --Statement by the
Managing Committee of the National Economy
League.
The efforts and activities of the National Economy League are first, last and always concentrated on the reduction of taxes through the elimination of wasteful,
extravagant,
and unnecessary expenditures,
local, State and Federal.
Ebensburg,
Penna., Herald.
Any organization dedicated to this purpose has the G.C.N.'s support.
We are told what fine things would happen if every one of us would go and do
something for the welfare of somebody else;
but why not contemplate also the immense
gain which v,ou.ld ensue if everyb o d y
would do something for himself? --W.G.
Sumner.
I always slug 'em. --G.L. Monjo
A wiser
rule would be to make up your
mind soberly what you want, peace or war,
and then to get ready for what you want;
for what we prepare for is what we shall
get. --W.G. Sumner.
Honest ignorance in the masses is more
to be dreaded than malevolent intelligence
in the few. --"A Fool's Errand".
Nations must depend for economic salva tion on individual efforts. --Eamon DeValera .
A man's pose is the most important
thing about him . -- Prof . C.B. Tinker .
Men generally have two reasons for
their actions :
a good one, and t he real
one . -- A. G. Keller
The palpable is in its place , and the
impaJpable is in its place .--Walt Whitman.
The words of authority are the seeds
of fear , degradation, humiliation and hat red . __ Jules Scarceriaux.
Nothing is more intolerant than comrr.1.·i ...

PERHAPS THE OLDEST REMAINING HOUSE IN GRANVILLE
The "Singed Cat" cottage on the Scott place in Granville Cen
ter. It was so named by Dr. Scott because 11 It 1 s not so bad as it
looks". Seargent Scott�- who now lives in it, wrote the following
statement for the G.C.N.: 11 0n the property owned by the Scotts is
a small house, the Singed Cat, that Chapin Brown lived in, who was
at that time the character of the town. The village was then East
Granville. I think the hou�e was built between 1812 and 1815. It
is probably the oldest house in the town. I think Jennie Brown was
born in this house. She was a cousin of my father's mother and the
mother of Mr. Howard B. Dickinson of Granvil le. 11
Chapin Brown was slightly crazy as a result of.having been
marooned after a shipwreck shortly after the Civil War, at
least that is the story we get. He kept a bird-cage with an
imaginary bird in it, could throw up a crowbar and catch it,
and
used to stick apples out on the picket fenoe for
the
schoolchildren.
At another time the house was inhabited by a haberdasher, a
bootmaker, and a physician. Their collective motto, 11 Wa cure haads,
heels and stomachs" was ·,iell known in these parts.

PLATFORM OF G. STEVENSON
Advocating the Restoration in the Automobile Industry
of Steam, the True Automotive
Power
The basic and final superiority of the steam automobile over the
internal combustion car has always been recognized by those acquainted with it. There are, still running, a few steamers built before
1920 that will outperform any gas wagon made today. The old fashioned steamers, however, were hard, and took a long time1 to start, often
burned out or froze up, were difficult and expensive of upkeep, and
altogether so complicated and troublesome that public favor turned to
the more immediate and superficial advantages of the gasoline plant;
which were, self-contained compactness, ready starting, ease of upkeep, and comparative simplicity. And, as gas wagons are easier and
cheaper to make than steamers, car makers found it decidedly more
profitable to follow this trend than to try to overcome the many and
great difficulties then in the way of a practical steam car. Many gas
wagon manufacturers once made steamers; of them, the Whites have always conceded the basic superiority of the steam plant.
Because of the above-listed features, the gas engine, of course,
had and still has, many sincere adherents, whose misled belief it has
been that its disadvantages can be eliminated through divers superficial improvements hung onto a principle that is fundamentally impractical and always will be. The disadvantages of the old steam
cars, however, can be eliminated; they are superficial and not basic.
The old timers had to be fired by a match, in the way that a blowtorch is lit; a modern steamer gets up steam in 20 seconds at the
turn of a switch. Electric starting and electric controls, only
recently made possible, make simple, positive, reliable operation a
feature of the modern steamer. Burning out of the boiler is eliminated by the use of modern alloy steel. Freezing can easily be taken
care of. In ease of upkeep and simplicity a modern steamor can compete with any gas wagon. Self-contained compactness is not a requisite of the automobil0 plant.
One out of every four strokes in a gas engine is a power stroke.
During the other throo the engine has to ride around on its momentum.
If that momentum bo killed by slowing the ongino down so it cannot
reach the next power stroke, the machine stalls. Gas wagon ads sometimes contend that the power impulse consists of a rapid, steady expansion of the burning gases against the piston, and is not an explosion at al l; a notion easily dispelled by a few minutes• listening to
a gas engine without a muffler. Besides, if this were so, an eight
cylinder gas engine would have the absolute flexibility of steam,
which it obviously does not . The operation cycle of a gas engine
consists of a series of terrific explosions better suited to hammering
the machine to pieces than to the accomplishment of useful work. They
are effective for so short a part of the stroke that complication,
weight, and sluggishness are about all that can be gained by multiplicity of cylinders and "overlapping" of strokes; a 16-cylinder car
has to have a gear shift, as well as a four.
�'
-2This is the way a gas engine works. It is the fundamental system
of it, and no amount of inspired tinkering with it can make it work
any other way than just that. Except for synchro-mesh and "free
wheeling" (the latter being great sport, but of little practical use;
both are said to have "revolutionized" the automobile industry), the
gas wagon transmission is the same as it was 30 years ago--which can
hardly be called progress. Such things as electric drives and other
flexibilizing substitutes for it have been too heavy, complicated,
costly, and inefficient, and generally accredited a failure; such
around-the-corner procedure is hardly logical as compared with having
a flexible power plant in the first place.
For any one purpose, and where a smooth, quiet machine is not required, such as climbing Pike's Peak, breaking a world's speed record,
or driving a sawmill, the gas engine is about as good as the steam
engine, and often handier; one given power plant and transmission
ratio can meet all requirements. Speed record drivers use the gas
engine, as more development has been given it, and with it they have
a better knowledge of where they are at. In the ordinary automobile,
however, the load is constantly varying; and each major fluctuation
in the load on the gas engine has to be met with a corresponding
change in the transmission ratio, that the machine may not stall or
race unnecessarily; constant gear-shifting and pampering of the power
plant make even the most luxurious modern gas wagon a far from pleasant thing to drive. The steam engine is universally adaptable and
flexible, and operates with full efficiency and effectiveness at any
speed; the identical same steam-powered chassis, without a single
change, is equally good at delicately maneuvering a ton of bricks
through the traffic of New York, and at speeding a luxurious limousine
100 miles an hour over the Lincoln Highway.
In a double-acting steam engine, every stroke is a power stroke.
Steam admitted to the cylinder gives a steady, smooth push, not a
terrific shock, to the piston for its entire travel, and back again.
The entire valve mechanism is a single sliding piece moved by an eccentric over two ports. The steam engine can turn over either way,
and reverse is effected simply by adjusting the valve travel so that
steam admitted will tend to drive the engine in the opposite direction to that in which it has been going. Save for dead centers, a
single steam cylinder is unstallable. Two such cylinders, with their
cranks at right angles so that one is at the full of its stroke when
the other is on dead center, compose an absolutely flexible machine.
It can start from any position of rest simply by admitting steam to
it. Its speed and power are unlimited by the structural difficulties
of the gas engine. The equipment for supplying steam to the automobile engine can, as described before, now be made perfectly reliable
and practical.
Sunnnary of the Advantages That
Can be Built into a Modern
Steam Automobile:
NO GEARS TO SHIFT: No clutch to trouble with, no noise, no "free
wheeling" to run away from you; from Oto as fast as you care to let
it out, and back again, your only controls are the throttle and the
�-3-
brake. Reverse at the touch of a pedal; can be used to brake the
car on hills.
PICKUP TWICE AS FAST AS A GAS WAGON: Independent of momentum, every
stroke a power stroke, the steam engine responds instantly to control.
SMOOTHNESS UNKNOWN WITH A GAS WAGON: Because of its absolute flexibility, smoothness is inherent in the operation of steam power,
and not the result of smothering a noisy, shaky machine with artificial counterweights~ mufflers, "vibration dampeners", "rubber
mounting", "silencers, 11 it floats" devices, and the like.
BURNS ANYTHING from bootleg hooch to fuel oil, without even special
adjustment. As far on a gallon as a gas wagon of comparable weight
and power.
NO STINK: Does not have to be pampered with special gas; combustion
clean and complete, and does not take place where the cylinders are
lubricated.
MORE POWER for its weight than any automobile ever made.
SIMPLE a91..a gas wagon, with a rugged straightforwardness in its construction as opposed to the delicate adjustments and fickle beha vior
of a gas engine. Modern electrical ignition and controls do away
with the complication and troublesomeness that caused the failure of
the old fashioned steamer, and make practical the modern steam car.
SAFE: Easy, positive control and pickup, combined with the nonstallable reliability of steam power, get and keep you out of jams
as no gas wagon can do. Automatic controls, safety valve, and
ample reserve strength i n sure against the boiler's blowing up (something which hardly ever happened even to the earliest and most
primitive steam cars).
W
ATER does not have to be renewed any more often than in a gas wagon,
because all exhaust steam is condensed. Ample provision made against
freezing up in winter.
STARTING:
1) Turn on a switch.
2) Drive it.
No spark, no start pedal, no choke, no "carburetor heat control", no
fumbling with the hand throttle, no stalling and second tries. Gets
up steam from cold to operating pressure in 20 seconds.
A GOOD-LOOKING CAR, yet built so you can see where you're going in
it. There is no reason why this should be exclusive to ste a m, but
no present-day gas wagon has this feature.

Stevenson, Gilbert: Advocating the Restoration of Steam in the Automotive Industry
Description
An account of the resource
A three page document by Gilbert Wright Stevenson (1914-1998) advocating the restoration of the steam engine for powering automobiles. Published on August 6, 1932 as an attachment to the Granville Center News. Multiple copies found in the library archives. <br /><br />Gilbert Stevenson was the "Chief Editor" of the Granville Center News, informally published in the 1930's as stated in the paper, "on nine more or less consecutive Saturdays during the summer."<br /><br />Stevenson appears to have summered in Granville during his late teens and came up with the idea of publishing the Granville Center News (GCN). He was "Chief Editor" with staff consisting of Assistant Editor J.D. Wright, Jr., Feature Editor Holland Newton Stevenson, Jr. (Gilbert's brother), and Foreign Corespondent J. Laughlin IIII. Together they created a publication that was both informative and humorous, with occasional editorials espousing the virtues of anarchy, among other things.<br /><br />Issues 12 thru 35 of the Granville Center News have been found and digitized. They can be viewed here: <a href="https://granvillehistory.omeka.net/admin/items/show/737">https://granvillehistory.omeka.net/items/show/737 </a><br /><br />Gilbert Stevenson's passion for steam led him to own a steam car around 1933. The brief period of ownership was commented on in the Granville Center News occasionally, including the car's final trip to Newton, MA. when Stevenson and the car fell short by about 5 miles so the car was towed and abandoned. <br /><br />Stevenson was not easily discouraged. He seems to have been a natural engineer, entrepreneur, dreamer, promoter, and all-around character. A Yale engineering graduate (1936), he helped build at least two companies in an attempt to mass produce a steam car in the late 1930's. He unveiled a prototype in 1938: <a href="http://www.thecrimson.com/article/1938/4/20/steam-car-modeled-after-stanley-steamer/">http://www.thecrimson.com/article/1938/4/20/steam-car-modeled-after-stanley-steamer/<br /><br /></a>Granville's summer newspaperman died in 1998 in Laramie, Wyoming. <br /><br />Steam on, Stevenson!
