Society Aspects Too Much Or Too Poor, Dr. Ise Says
Too much and too poor sums up the various aspects of modern methods of entertainment, habits and numerous other aspects of our present day life and society, John Ise, professor of economics, said at the Sociology club dinner Wednesday.
Professor Ise criticized the American policy of "keeping up with the Jones," The abolition of that family from the American scene would allow the people of the country to revert to a happier and more simple life.
Life a generation ago was an unhurried affair. People had time to think, do a few of the things they liked, and enjoy life in general. With the advent of mass production and faster ways of doing things we started going haywire, he believes.
The faster we produce methods of saving time to have more leisure time, the more of that leisure time was taken up in producing methods of saving time.
He felled the culprits of modern entertainment. Movie producers turn out rubbish which if free would be too expensive. Radio has its silly soap operas and dramas of blood and gore. People wonder why we have crime waves.
Television is a lower form than radio and a great attraction for children. Newspapers, make people want more than they can afford, he added.
Another destroyer of our leisure time, Dr Ise said, is our quest of success. In striving for success and security we ignore the flower of youth and wind up with the success and security but with a withered flower that has lost it's scent.
Another slice of leisure time is lopped off as we scurry from one

"But there is a silver lining in the cloud," he said, "or is it brass?" Many of the people who buy the cheap, standardized goods, listen to the cheap, standardized radio and television drama, and drive their shiny cars at 60 miles an hour from one organization to another, would not care for anything better.

Dr. Ise said that if we would slacken the pace of our everyday life we might find time to read something that would enlighten us as to the economic and political problems in America.
It will be necessary for us to practice selectivity in our various forms of entertainments and tastes.
Dr. Ise said we must choose between leisure and personal importance. As age increases so usually does our responsibilities and importance.
If our importance is so great that there is no leisure, an examination of that importance should be made to determine whether or not it is too high a price to pay for the forfeiture of our leisure time in which to enjoy life.

Past Grand Master of the Royal Order of Gourmets and Racontleurs—our outspoken friend knows how to find the proof of the pudding. Especially such a thing as cigarette mildness! A "quick puff" and a "single sniff" left him hungry for facts. Smokers everywhere have tried the same tests and discovered the one true test of cigarette mildness!
It's the sensible test...the 30-Day Camel Mildness Test, which simply asks you to try Camels as your steady smoke, on a day-after-day, pack-after-pack basis. No snap judgments. Once you've tried Camels for 30 days in your "T-Zone" (T for Throat, T for Taste), you'll see why...
After all the Mildness Tests . . .
Camel leads all other brands by billions
