Inquiring Reporter Every day the Standard's Inquiring Reporter will ask five persons a question of interest. TODAY'S QUESTION: Do you think that today's economic turmoil, a farm oirned and worked by a family offers more security than a job in town? William avenue: "Weil, it's hard to say.

In some ways it would and in other ways it wouldn't. There's a lot of security in having like that that you own yourself and yet I think you run the same chances of failing that you do having a job in town." James McLaughliri. Pittsburgh street: "No. I don't think'so. unless a man has been farming all his life, and knows what he's about.

However, for a family to give up a job in. town and try to a go it on a just because they're having a hard time getting along, no, I can't think it ivould. work." Thomas Grant. Fhillippi "Yes, I'm inclined to think so. At least you can ce sure of three meals a day and a roof over your head.

whereas sometimes the man who works in" town has a hard time getting, just those thinss." Martha Jones, Morgan town road: "Yes, there's a lot of security in having something like a farm that's your own and until economic conditions straighten out I think the man who owns a farm is a lot better off than the man working in town on a small job, trying to make ends meet." Louis Markel. Cleveland avenue: think that the way things are today both the farmer and the man in town have about even chances of getting along. 1 II Side Glances By Clark Solicitor W.
