With the in termittent light rain will come high temperatures in the upper 40's- today and low readings from 35 to 40 tonight. And the mercury isn't expected to get higher than the 40's tomorrow. The rain, which began Thursday, had left a four-day of about two inches in the area, with yesterday's measurement not available. This might have presented a threat to smaller streams throughout the Troy Area but for the fact that 'the earth was able a good share of the rain. Rain 1 Inch Above Normal Thus, even with' the two-inch 'all of the four days since last Thursday, the area has had only an inch above normal.

Temperatures which have ranged from the upper 30's to mid 40's for the past two days have put an abrupt end summer weather which ordinarily calls for temperatures from 36 to 57 degrees 'or this time of year.

M. Andrew Dwyer, who has been practicing law in this city for almost ten years, defined "technocracy" as a government of scientists, industrialists and other "specialists." About 100 members of the union local heard his renjarks in the main address for the union's 22nd anniversray dinner at the Hotel Troy. The claim has been Dwycr also stated, that the American standard of living, and its continued upward spiral, is due to mass production methods and technological advances.

The truth of the matter is, he added, that our standard is founded in the same element! and the same type of people that created the nation originally. Workers have demanded, and they are getting, a high standard, he said. American economists of three generations ago would say that the methods by which standards have been created are as impossible as raising one's self by his own boot straps. Mr. Dwyer stated.

Without the American labor movement, the attorney declared, our present way of life would not exist, neither in the quantity nor in the quality of comforts it affords.
