Different Attitudes
Contrary to popular opinion,
rural and urban society have not
become a “melted pot,”
sociologists at The Pennsylvania
State University report. Studies
over a 23 year period show that, if
anything, differences among
rural-urban attitudes are
stronger now than in previous
years.
The studies analyzed high
school sophomores in 1947, 1960,
and 1970. Directing the current
analysis were Dr. Fern K. Willits,
Dr. Robert C. Bealer, and Dr.
Donald M. Crider of the depart
ment of agricultural economics
and rural sociology at Penn
State.
While the young people ex
pressed more permissive ideas in
1970 than 10 and 23 years earlier,
Whatever your dairy feeding program, you can
use new Wayne 32% Dairy Krums to good ad
vantage. Just balance this blend of high quality
proteins, vitamins and minerals with the nutrients
in your own farm grains. Select the protein level
that is right for the roughage used. Each cow
will produce milk at her full bred-in milking power.
And, the texture of ground and mixed rations is
improved. Ask us for details.

there are presently wider ranges
in attitudes between persons
from farms, rural nonfarm
areas, and towns than in previous
years.
The results, the sociologists
affirm, show the need to continue
to recognize distinctions between
rural and urban ideas and
behavior in working with people.
The high school students came
from identical geographical
areas of the state in 1947, 1960,
and 1970. Questions concerned
church attendance, divorce,
drinking, smoking, card playing,
Sunday movies, Sabbath labor,
idling in town, staying out late,
failure in school, use of money,
and use of cosmetics.

Changes toward increased
permissiveness were generally
greatest for town residents and
least for persons on farms. This
was obvious for the 1960 and 1970
period when changes were most
rapid.
Of the 12 items surveyed, only
attitudes toward tobacco and
failure in school remained as
firm in 1970 as they had been in
1947. Publicity linking smoking to
lung cancer was considered
responsible for objections to
smoking. Russia’s launching of
the first Sputnik, taken as a sign
of inferior U. S. technology and
education, was believed to
produce a firm objection to
permissiveness regarding failure
in school.
