In spite OF Canadian compete

farmers.
Relatively interest rates are

traditional disparity against the

faces the bizarre prospect OF

We have met always with tho mos,
courteous treatment there. We have fine
and interested men ON our District
committees. but the fact remains that
to every one We must come second to
their own constituents, and this Is nee
cSsarily true. Quite recently l heard one
OF the members OF the House District
committee, than whom the District has
never had q better. friend, speak OF the
duties of Congressman every Con-
gresham. When we had heard the
statement OF what was expected OF them
by their own children, We realized that
they had no choice but to give their
stepchildren the "leftovers" of their
time, II any. Only our own represent
ativcs can be, in the nature OF the
case. entirely familiar with our needs
ard conditions, simply because there Is
not time. Just plain time. for any one
else TO gain this familiarity We feel
that they would be OF tremendous help
to all OF our other friends on the Hill
as We'll as to us, because they would not
only be able To put clearly our point Of
view. but they would save tremendous
amount OF that most valuable time
which IS now spent by men from out
side IN becoming acquainted with our
local needs and conditions
l feel, too, there has been a great
increase IN sentiment for us through
out the States, where until we began
TO discuss this question In n way which
was Nation wide, many people had no
idea that We were not voters! This
should count.
