TURNING FROM THE CITY 



fundamental principles and practices are under- 

 stood and followed. 



Unquestionably, the open country is now 

 making the greatest appeal as a place of residence 

 that it has made at any time in the history of 

 the nation. To list the conveniences which now 

 exist in the country is to duplicate those which 

 many people have considered as available only 

 in cities. In most areas of the country, for 

 example, there are daily mail delivery, telephone 

 service, some measure of fire protection, and 

 transportation by automobile, bus or train. It 

 is quite possible, for example, to step into a bus 

 at one's dooryard and be carried to any part 

 of the United States by the same method of 

 transportation. 



The development of the radio has brought 

 to the country home all the surging activities 

 of national life and varied educational and 

 entertainment programs. The spread of electric 

 light and power lines through the country 

 constitutes a boon that makes possible the use 

 of all kinds of electrical appliances known in 

 the city, including refrigerators, cooking ranges, 

 washing machines, water pumps, water heaters 

 and hundreds of other machines and appliances, 

 some of which are in their infancy. No great diffi- 

 culty is experienced in locating in the open country 

 where such electrical facilities are available.
