Bethesda Says:
dear mister EDITOR^ ,
Necessity probable has been
blamed fer a heap of inventions
dollars and cents are the par-
ents of, but fer sure it has mo-
thered some we’d be hard put
to do without. Fer instant, the
preacher’s opening line in his
•sermon Sunday was that if there
was no God it would be neces-
sary to invent one. When you
put the case on that level, Mis-
ter Editor, far be it from me
to argue how necessary neces-
sity is.
I got to thinking on inven-
tions and their idees whose time
has come Saturday night at the
country store when the fellers
was discussing bicycles. When
we was shirttail boys two wheel-
ers was the next* best thing to
a spirited horse. Bunches of us
would git out hot summer Sun-
days and ride fer hours just to
-• feel the wind in our face, and
our bikes come in handy'*’fer
travel in general. Back then,
we had wagon paths and bike
trails that what few cars they
was used. Now the cars has took
over all the roads, and die big
cities are making bike paths.
This piece Zeke Grubb brung
• to the store said the bicycle
is being re-invented, so when
the oil runs out we’ll be ready
with HPVs, human powered ve-
hicles. < v
’ Zeke said new plastics^ and
new engineering is leading to
bikes that will go three times
as fast on half the effort of to-
