The Advantages and Disadvantages of Cars
The use of the motor is becoming more and more widespread in the twentieth century; as an increasing number of countries develop both technically and economically, so a larger proportion of the world's population is able to buy and use a car. Possessing a car gives a much greater degree ofmobility, enabling the driver to move around freely. The owner of a car is no longer forced to rely on public transport and is, therefore, not compelled to work locally. He can choose from different jobs and probably changes his work more frequently as he is not restricted to a choice within a smallradius. Traveling to work by car is also more comfortable than having to use public transport; the driver can adjust the heating in winter and theair-conditioningin the summer to suit his own needs and preference. There is noirritationcaused by waiting for trains, buses or underground trains, standing in long patient queues, or sitting on windy platforms, for as long as half an hour sometimes. With the building of good, fast motorways long distances can be covered rapidly and pleasantly. For the first time in this century also, many people are now able to enjoy their leisure time to the full by making trips to the country or seaside at the weekends, instead of being confined to their immediate neighborhood. This feeling of independence, and the freedom to go where you please, is perhaps the greatest advantage of the car.when considering thedrawbacks, perhaps pollution is of prime importance. As more and more cars are produced and used, so the emission from their exhaust-pipes contains an ever larger volume of poisonous gas. Some of the contents of this gas, such a

Fight Again Youth Smoking
Three years ago,appalledby how many children were becomingaddictedto cigarettes every year, the Vice President and I committed this administration to stopping the sale and marketing of cigarettes to children. Today, thanks to these efforts and thepersistenceof state attorneys general, the public health community, and leaders in Congress, we have the best opportunity ever to pass comprehensive anti-smokinglegislationthat well save millions of our children from apremature, painful, and very preventable death.This week, in a historic and resounding 19 to 1 vote, a key Senate committee gave its stamp of approval to comprehensive legislation sponsored by Senator John McCain, a Republican, and Senator Fritz Hollings, a Democrat, that would cut youth smoking by half over the next decade. This bill represents a dramatic step forward. It would raise the price of cigarettes, give the FDA full authority to regulate tobacco products, ban advertising aimed at children, and protect tobacco farmers.
We still have work to do in this legislation. Above all, we need to put in place tough penalties that will cost the tobacco industry if it continues to sell cigarettes to young people. Just this week the Centers for Disease Control released a disturbing report that more than a third of teenagers in the United States now smoke, even though it's illegal.
It is time to hold tobacco companiesaccountable. Reducidng youth smoking must be veerybody's bottom line. Let's remember -- this is not about politics or money, or seeking revenge against the tobacco industry for past practices. We're not trying to put the tobacco companies out of business; we want

Glories of the Storm
The rain now becomes atorrent,flungby a rising wind. Together they batter the trees and level the grasses. Water streams off roofs. It pounds against the windows in such a steady wash that I am sightless. There is only water. How can so much fall so fast? How could the clouds have supported this vast weight? How can the earthendurebeneath it?
Pacing through the house from window to window, I am moved to open-mouthed wonder. Look how thelilacbends under theassault, how the dayliliesare flattened, how the hillside steps are new-made waterfall! Nowhailstones thumpupon the roof. They bounce white against the grass andsplashinto thepuddles. Think of the vegetable garden, the fruit trees, the crops in the fields; but, thankfully, the hailstones are not enough in numbers or size to do real damage. Not this time.
For this storm is already beginning to pass. The tension is released from the atmosphere, the curtains of rain let in more light. The storm has spent most of its energy, and what is left will beexpendedon the countryside to the east.
I am drawn outside while the rain still falls. All around, there is a cool and welcome feeling. I breathe deeply and watch the sun's rays streak through breaking clouds. One ray catches the drops that form on the edge of the roof, and I am treated to a row of tiny,quiveringcolors -- my private rainbow.
I pick my way through the wet grass, my feet sinking into the saturatedsoil. Thecreekin the gully runs bank full of brown water.but the small lakes and

Capital and Labour
In the last half of the nineteenth century “capital” and “labour” were enlarging and perfecting theirrivalorganizations on modern lines. Many an old firm wasdisplacedby a limitedliabilitycompany with abureaucracyof salaried managers. The change met the technical requirements of the new age by engaging a large professional element and prevented the decline in efficiency that so commonly spoiled the fortunes of family firms in the second and third generation after theenergeticfounders. It was moreover a step away from individualinitiative, towards collectivism andmunicipal and state-owned business. The railway companies, though still private business managed for the benefit ofshareholders, were very unlike old family business. At the same time the great municipalities went into business to supply lighting,tramsand other services to the taxpayers.The grown of the limited liability company and municipal business had importantconsequences. Such large, impersonalmanipulationof capital and industry greatly increased the numbers and importance of shareholders as a class, an element in national life representing irresponsible wealthdetachedfrom the land and the duties of the landowners; and almost equally detached from the responsible management of business. All through the nineteenth century, America, Africa, India, Australia and parts of Europe were being developed by British capital, and British shareholders were thusenrichedby the world’s movement towards industrialization. Towns like Bournemouth and Eastbourne sprang u

Camping
Economy is one powerful motive for camping, since after the initial outlay upon equipment, or through hiring it, the total expense can be far less than the cost of hotels.
That the equipment of modern camping becomes yearly more sophisticated is an entertaining paradox for the cynic, a brighter promise for the hopeful traveler who has sworn to get away from it all. It also provides C and some student sociologist might care to base his thesis upon the phenomenon C an escape of another kind. The modern traveler is often a man who dislikes the Splendide and the Bellavista, not because he cannot afford or shun their material comforts, but because he is afraid of them. There is no superior “they” in the shape of managements and hotel hierarchies to darken his holiday days.
To such motives, yet another must be added. The contemporary phenomenon of motorcar worship is to be explained not least by the sense of independence and freedom that ownership entails. To this pleasure camping gives an exquisite refinement.
From one’s own front door to home or foreign hills or sands and back again, everything is to hand. Not only are the means of arriving at the holiday paradise entirely within one’s own command and keeping, but the means of escape from holiday hell ( if the beach proves too crowded, the local weather too nasty ) are there, outside C or, as likely, part of C the tent.
Idealists have objected to the practice of camping, as to the packaged tour, that the traveler abroad thereby denies himself the opportunity of getting to know the people of the country visited. Insularity and self-containment, it is argued, go hand in hand. The opinion does not survive experience of a popular Continental camping place. Holiday hotels tend to cater for one nationality of visitors especially, sometimes exclusively. Camping sites, by contrast, are highly cosmopolitan
