A CHANCE TO BE FAIR

ed as to make economical operation
impossible. There. stripped of pret-
ty phrases. is the solution" TvA
offers.
II would be difficult TO imagine q
program which could cause a great
er loss to utility investors. AS Mr.
Willkie points out, utility system
can no more be dismembered piece
by piece and retain its efficiency,
than can a human body. So broken
up, a utility would be completely
unable TO finance itself, and would
be easy prey for further government
competition that could completely
bankrupt IL.
As a further proposal. Mr.. Will
kie recommends that the price to be
paid by the government for Operat-
ing systems In the IVA area be de-
termined by a board OF three men
one TO be appointed by the President,
one by the utilities. and the third by
the Supreme Court of the United
State. This boards decision would
be final, and would automatically
eliminate any necessity for further
controversial discussion. or for long
drawn out court action. If the Fed
eral government wishes to be fair in
this matter. here is IFS chance. The
public, which has been growing in
skeptical OF many TVA
policies and undertakings, will
await additional official comment on
MFR. WILKES last suggestion.

Isaiah: The people that walked in

shadow of death. upon them hath
the light shined. For unto us a
child is born, unto us son is given;
and the government shall be upon

Lord shall rest upon him. the spirit
of wisdom and understanding, the
spirit of counsel and might. the
spirit of knowledge and of the fear
of the Lord; OF the increase OF mis-
government and peace there shall be

and upon his kingdom. to order it.
and to establish Il with Judgment
and with justice from henceforth
even for ever. The zeal of the Lord
of hosts will perform this.
The lessOn-sermOn also includes
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
lures" by Mary Baker Eddy: The
advent of Jesus of Nazareth marlted
the first century of the Christian
era. but the Christ is without be-
ginning of years or end of days.
Jesus was born of Mary. Christ is
the true idea voicing good, the di-
vine message from God to men
speaking to the human conscious
ness. as Jesus demonstrated Christ;
he proved that Christ is the divine
idea of God-the Holy Ghost. or
Comforter, revealing the divine prin-
sipIe, Love. and leading into all
