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. � https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/34234/archive/files/7b136474fe4e575dbe510fb89cafb609.jpg?Expires=1774483200&Signature=tTuhItLBICSNz0YV%7EEhP2bZIAEsH3WfwYMZDm5Hw9iiHVzbkH86f49QpOrpBuSlIlKYpR9WhhtRrn-JUjDaS3%7E0ag7OZ0HUMa%7EXNJX%7EJ5XC-YFFnpwvIjnp8Ih-otTggWL6T5ICiHQ4S2YlfUvXw%7EH0mKfomXL7b5vLi%7EelnzzZO6vU8b5L1RyzfTdQK--v8uRySkTJ1fKjJBd3BdPmUDCjUm6pIxnmqVVbhXJYVRvKmhsRQLjxjOulidOPiVZz1tMuvWDgq8rmdXmltyeA2RORkqLkFX%7E7J8pb%7EecRR3KG1NgkuileD%7EY-UyYT1BlneRhKJaEEI9JLGFotgZqIchQ__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM c0b740297d58366ac15b15d7a5cb361d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 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!

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.

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. �-·~ 'I )\ ~iIOTORISTS-is 30 years enough to sweat,grind and stall?

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".

The Best in Meat,Fish, Groceries, Fruit and · Vegetables. Telephone - 165 ., , �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 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. �( 1 - t· r ' Al'lARCBISlY~ \._ stands for the- s pi.ri t, not the system,of coope ration. ______ '-.:..._ . - - - - ' ' ) ·, \\ J ... ..• · NO • . 16; _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ _ _ __,,_ _ __ _ _ __ , .,......,__ _ PRICE 5¢ MEMBER OF THE N.A.P.

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 i n i t s execution and pleasing in its effect. k It is a color symphony: each element suppor; · ting the _ others in building up the complete : impression. By far the most dramatic and most mature of the seascapes is the Shia Paul Jones, lJy Lars Thorsen. It shows an ol l i (cont. on p.4) G.C. l'J . PROVERBS !

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.

Mr. Short 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.

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.

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.

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. (continued on p.5) 1 f I �GRANVILLE CENTER NEWS -5- AUGUST 5, 1933 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 Correspondence, in behalf of this district, to the inhabitants of the town of Boston, to assure them of our firm attaclunent to the common cause, and promise faithful assistance in all constitutional ways, to encourage to a firm and steadfast perseverance in all the ways of well doing. 11 • · Upon ·the reception of the alarm f:rom I,exington, Granville .inuster·ed a company of 60 men and sent them :p:romptly forward, under Capt. Letbeus (?) Ball, whose lieutenant was Lemuel Bancroft of Southwick (e.n.: (continued on p~6) 11 �GRANVILLE CENTER NEWS -6- AUGUST 5, 1933 REVOLUTIONARY REMINISCENCES (cont. from p.5) 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.

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.

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 (continu&d on p.4) J �GRANVILLE CENTER NEWS : -4-- AUGUST 19, 1933 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. --A READER (Editor's note: In harmony with our pro-Confederate attitude on the Civil War, our anti-N.R.A. policy, and the general libertarian naturo of our politics, we wish,in connection with the above question, to reassert our conviction that the problems of any group, suc.h as the far mers concerned, can best be worked out only by that group and are best left unmeddled with by sentimentalists and fanat ics out of touch with its problems.

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 (continued on p.6) GRANVILLE ,CENTER NEWS 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. THE GREEN SNAIL DETECTIVE AGENCY Let us Solve your personal Problems. We have never had a d~ssatisfied client.

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? (continued on p.4) �GRANVILLE CENTER NEWS -4- AUGUST 26. 1933 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 truck~so ~e couldn't say much against it.

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 attired, in uniform, tall hat with a cockade on the side and his queue showing below the back of i~ and a dress sword.

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. REVGLO'l1JGN.

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.

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. G .

ARlWOX OF THE SOIL" (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 the si ngle - product farmer has as li tt le contr·ol over his w9l ""clre as has the fa..;t. ory 'V'O rker in the 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 (continued on p.3) �GRANVILLE CENTER NEWS -3- AUGUST 4 , 1934 WHO BUILT THE ARK? (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.

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. G.C.N.

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.

Bowed o'er his desk in the dark and gloom Henry laments his vehicle' s doom.

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!
