Rural Population
Shows Increase
AS a place to live the country
'appears more attractive to Penn
sylvanians than 'it did a decade
ago, according to releases of the
1940 census which shows an 'in
crease in the rural population near
ly nine times as large as in urban
places of 2,500 or more people.
This change is in sharp contrast
to the phenomenal doubling of the
population in a little over 30 years
prior to 1930 while the rural popu
lation remained practically station
ary, says Prof. Howard R. Cottam,
department of rural sociology.
The reversal - in attitude toward
rural living is apparently state
wide for 61 of the 67 counties had
larger rural populations. , in . 1940
than. in 1930. This is more than
twice - the number of counties which
gained in ; rural population from'
1920 to 1930. Conversely, one
third of the counties had smaller
urban populations in 1940 than in
1930 whereas only one-seventh de
creased the previous decade.
Attractiveness of country dViell
ings as measured by population
growth varied considenably 'from
county to county. Greatest dis
crepancies in rural and urban pop
ulation changes 1939-40 occurred
in Susquehanna Cpunty where the
rural population gained six per
cent and . the urban lost 17 per -cent.
Other counties showing rural in
creases over Urban were McKean,
Huntingdon, Mifflin, Mountour,
Beaver, Venango, Dauphin, and
Lackawanna. Only in Potter Coun
ty was the urban growth greater
than the rural change.
Greatest numerical gain in rural
population was revealed' in coun
ties located near large. cities;
namely Allegheny, Lancaster,
Montgomery, and Bucks. More iso
lated counties,like Cameron, Union,
Crawford, and Fulton shoWed the
.largest proportional gains. •

Prepare For War Of Ideas,
Warnock Tells Fraternities
A. R. Warnock, dean of men,
addressed an appeal to fraternities
yesterday to join in the nation
wide movement to fit young Am
erican citizens for the national
emergency.
"Guns, tanks, and airplanes can
not be built in fraternity houses,"
he said. "Nor can armies be
trained there. But there is no
better kind of practicum than fra
ternity chapter houses for provid
ing certain peculiar kinds of 'fit
ting' for young citizens °to be
sturdy factors in the national wel
fare. Americans must provide
for a war of ideas as well as guns."
Dean Warnock, who serves as
chairman of the committee for
American .unity of the Centre
County Council of Defense, men
tioned four ways in which frater
nities could help to promote the
national defense.
"Fraternities," he said, "should
adopt chapter programs planned
to increase the physical fitness of
their members. It should be a
Sept, Business
Best in History
Although industrial activity in
Pennsylvania for September was
at the highest level for that
month in the history of the state,
like national business it showed
evidence of leveling off, the
monthly business survey of the
College reported yesterday.
Accompanying the general in
crease in business was a substan
tial increase in both the cost of
living and retail food costs, the
report showed. Food costs are up
15 per cent from those of last
September and 17 per cent above
those of August, 1939, before the
'start of the 'present war.
The index of industrial activity
in Pennsylvania, which' uses the
years 1935-1939 as 100, Showed a
gain of 42 points or 33 per cent
over September, 1940, but showed
no. change from August to Sep
tember, 'standing at 167.1 for both
months.
"With those plants most stimu
lated by war orders being operat
ed at practically capacity in many
cases, further expansion in indus
trial activity will be slow from
now on, regardless of normal sea
sonal movements," the report said.
Among the series to make all
time high September records in
the state were industrial power
sales, telephones hr service, fac
tory payrolls, production of elec
tricity, steel production, and post
al receipts.
A voluntary, non-credit course in
business personality development is
offered in the business school of
New York City college.

The dean also called on frater
nities to promote qualities of
character which have to do 'with
morale—courage, stamina, loyal
ty, honesty, and unselfishness; tO
study, in chapter meetings, the
real meaning of democracy ana
learn. to . identify good
f luid ;bad
practices of democracy as illuq
trated in fraternity house rou
tines.
Finally, Dean Warnock callet
on fraternity men to respect goock
scholarship and give it a primary
place in the chapter programs. „
"The cultivation of ' the min l (t
should not be ignored as a con
tribution to defense," he said,
"Modern war is fundamentally a
battle between skilled minds; evOrt
more so in modern peace and that
.maintenance of security and well
being in both war and peace."
