Nv. A. 10 Extend Empire
Over Northeast Mississippi
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 2-The
Tennessee Valley Authority will ex-
tend its vast power empire" over
Northeast Mississippi on December
Is with the 100000 purchase of
electric utility properties of the Mis-
sissippi Power Co., subsidiary Of
Commonwealth & Southern Corp.
J.A Krug, T v. AS youthful chief
power engineer who aided in nego-
tiating the $78,6O0, 900 purchase of
Commonwealth & Southern's Ten
nessee properties, said today a con-
tract closing the Mississippi deal
would be signed In New York.
The consummation of this sale
will give the Authority a virtual
monopoly on the generation and
transmission of electricity through
out the Tennessee Valley-and is
regarded as an important step in
setting up the famed "yardstick" of
cheap power rates.
The only move left for the Author
ity in completing its giant power
system will be the acquisition of
electric properties in North Alabama
owned by the Alabama Power Co.,
another c. & S. subsidiary.
Mr.. Krug said negotiations for
these properties were under way.

Travellers returning from England tell
OF newspaper headlines screaming of
ARP', people on the street talking of
ARP statesmen in parliament discus
sing ARP"
As modern dictionary might put it.
The definition is this: ARP, labrv.) COM
mon symbol for Air Raid Protection
ARP is a serious matter to Britishers.
a matter that may become one of life and
death overnight. 1t has become such a
common part of everyday life across the
seas that manufacturers of various kinds
OF small air raid shelters are advertising
their products in paid space, listing the
safety devices and comforts to be found
in them. These manufacturers are rid
ing on the swell of growing conviction
III England that no family is entirely
safe without an air raid shelter.
In America, of course, it would be fool
ish to disregard entirely the possibility
of air raids in event of war, but Ameri-
cans can have no conception of the terror
and women who live within few hours
flying radius of their potential enemy's
capital. We think of air raid protection
in terms of anti-aircraft guns along the
coast line and of trim fighting planes
to repel invaders The British think of
air raid protection in terms of personal
life and death.
To us air raid by an enemy force is
a hypothetical problem left largely up
to the military and naval experts. To
Brtains an enemy air raid is such a
grim possibility that every family feels
the need of individual precaution against
death-dealing bombs dropped on civilian
population No wonder those initials,
ARP, have achieved such an Importance
to Britishers.
In those initials lies the answer to those
who wonder why Great Britain has not
taken a firmer stand in Asia. In them is
the reason Great Britain is Fastening at
top speed to create new and bigger arma-
ments. And in them, most of all, is pic
ture of the destruction and havoc, the
cruelty and suffering, the misery and
bloodshed that will mark the next big
war.

The rise of the chemical industry.
both from the practical and the

of the outstanding phenomena OF

relatively unimportant industry has
risen to place among the giants

Physically, it is overshadowed by

place in that building is a little

goth century magic are on display.
Whatever the du Points them
selves may be, as a corporate unit
they work magic. And the magic
is of a sort to make you wonder
just how important politics is, after
all.
The New Deal has done things
which will have a lasting effect
on American life. Yet in the long
run after the calling has
stopped, the Liberty League has
been forgotten, and the term "econ-

discard-it may we'll turn out that
it is the du Points who have left

Imperial Valley press., 1939-08-22

Back in the days of the World
War. the United States was pretty
far behind in the chemical world.
The cutting off of German dyestuffs
and similar material was quickly
felt when the war began, and when
the great transatlantic submarine
Deutschland made her historic trip
to Baltimore, she carried valuable
dyestuffs and chemicals as a large
part of her precious cargo.
Faced with this situation, it be-
came necessary to develop the chem
ical technique for which the coun-
try had formerly depended on Ger
many. So it was done.
And SO well was it done that
world leadership in chemistry has
now, it is believed, shifted from
Germany to the United States. Ger
tain statistics assembled by the AM
erican Chemical Society indicate
this, and Professor E. J. Crane of
Ohio State University believes that
the United States now outranks all
countries both in research and in
dustry in this field.
The United States was the only
major country to show gain IN

shift has had other effects, for
with 40 per cent of all scientific
periodicals published coming from

way to becoming the worlds pre-
dominating scientific language.

PRIVATE FLYING
ALSO PROGRESSES

In time when world tension has fo-
cused most eyes on development and i'm
provement of military aircraft, it is easy
to lose sight of the progress made in
development of aviation as a common
means of travel for thousands of people.
Yet progress of private aviation is, if
anything, more startlingly speedy than
that of military aviation. One company
alone, during the first six months of
1889, built and distributed TIP airplanes
designed for sport, travel and business
use The total almost equals the same
company's entire output for the II
months of the previous year
Even in the development of military
planes there is ray of light for those
who believe that airplanes, one of these
days, will be as common as automobiles
are today. The improvements in struc-
ture, design and engines for military
planes will mean similar improvements
in private planes
But the figures on private plane con-
struction are most encouraging because
they prove a growing confidence by Am
orleans in the safety of airplanes, and a
growing desire in this country to learn
to fly. Such things cannot help hasten
ing progress in aviation.

EMOTIONS AND HEALTH

The problem of health is often an emo

tanned, indulged repeated are potent
causes of illness When the preacher
talks about loving your enemies, the man
on the street is apt to dismiss the exhorta-
tion as uncomfortable piousness, as a coun-

THE SOUTH's BLESSINGS
hollywood Fla. HeraId)

Since the days of the Civil War the
South has been maligned and trodden
underfoot. She has been scorned, berat-
ed and branded as a region where ignor-
ance and poverty prevail =. Last year
a specially picked investigating commit
tee branded our South as the Nations
No. economic problem.
Notwithstanding this aspersion, Dixie
is in a fair way to become the leading
cultural and manufacturing center of
the United States within a few years.
Statistics plainly show capital is
marching South, to escape the ;. ele
ment so prevalent in northern sections,
where peoples are discontented with
American ideals, policies, and therefore
breed labor troubles or crime. The South
is one section of the country with few
labor troubles, few slums and high
standard of living despite low wages.
Even the depression hasn't daunted
Dixieland, and she seems to be prosper
ing in sunshine and leisure, while the
North is wrestling against union domi-
nance (The South's) people, the maj orr
ty of whom are of pure strain are
descendants of early settlers who con-
tributed strength, bravery and character,
the elements which made American
growth and ideals Good living and
not money matters more to her popula-
tlon.
Finally, although high tariff laws were
erected against Southern trade she has
surmounted barriers.

operations; it may also do things
to home and office lighting.

spend some $7,0O0,0OO a year. They
have a huge laboratory here, and
more than two dozen others in
other places. They keep 1900 re-
search men and l7O0 assistants con-
stantly busy Right now several
thousand projects and exploratory
inquiries are under way.
Altogether, year after year, there
comes this stream of things which
create new industries, change old
ones, make production processes
cheaper and in one way or another
profoundly affect the material
framework in which American life
is lived.
