Research Can Maintain Prosperity, KS Head Says
Topeka—(U.P.)—An optimistic outlook that scientific research will maintain America's rate of increase in prosperity at the phenomenal pace achieved the first half of the 20th century was voiced by Dr. James A. McCain, president of Kansas State college.
He spoke at the annual meeting of the Kansas Farm bureau here.
"Science and invention deserve a lion's share of the credit for the phenomenal increase in the prosperity of the American people in the first half of the 20th century.
America has the human and natural resources and the scientific and technological skills to maintain this rate of increase in prosperity during the next 50 years. There are many happy indications that the processes of research and technology are being continued at a high level."
The dominant role of research in economic development is reflected in the growth of six major industries since the beginning of the century. These are: the telephone, the radio, the automobile, the motion picture, the airplane and agriculture. . .
The head of Kansas' agricultural college said the nation's farming industry can continue gains from science and invention during the next half century.
"During the past 12 months, for example, the experiment station of Kansas State college has been requested to undertake more projects in behalf of the state's various agricultural groups than during any previous year in history."
"The nation's farmers and stockmen, including those in our own state of Kansas, are recognizing as never before the value of research as a means of improving both quality and volume of production.
He outlined the possibility that more benefits may fall to the farmer from one type of research, now in its infancy, than in any other. He referred to investigations into the industrial utilization of agricultural products.

15-Year-Old Blind CatIs Afraid To Move; Its Life-long Friend, A Collie, Is Dead
Grand Rapids, Mich.—(U.P.)—Dick, a 15-year-old blind cat, was afraid to move today because the only friend he trusted, a big collie dog, is dead.
Dick sat in a corner of Edwin Dalroot's living room and waited for his faithful companion, Big Blaze, to lead him outside.
"Dick just now is beginning to realize that Blaze is gone," Mrs. Dairntoff said. At that point I know but I believe he knows Blaze will never come back."
"We can't imagine why," she said,
"He was so friendly and all the neighbors' children loved him." They
Mrs. Dalroot said someone poisoned Blaze.
Dick has been blind for several years and used to grope around, bumping into furniture. He was afraid to venture out of the house.
He would walk ahead of Dick, and then would drag a big forepaw up to Dick's saucer of milk showing the almost helpless cat where his food was.
Then Blaze was brought home five years ago, a 6-month-old pup. The two became the best of friends and needed to be a seeing eye dog for a cat.
"Whenever the cat wanted to go outside the house, Big Blaze would led him," she said. "He would take Dick to his food or to his sleeping place or wherever Dick wanted to go. They seemed to be able to talk to one another."
used to come over and ride on Blaze's back," she said.
A veterinarian said Dick might die of a broken heart because he was "too old and too incapacitated to learn how to take care of himself again."
But Dick was his special responsibility, she said.
The Dalroots found Blaze, dying of poison, lying panting near his helbless friend, Dick.
"he knew Dick couldn't take care of himself," Mrs. Dalroot said, "and his last thought was of the cat."
