and with the help of its other
members, am confident it will
render valuable service in the
fight against infantile paralysis in
your community"
Chapters supply various aids to
needy infantile paralysis victims
and render assistance during cpl

"The REA gives each coop ev-

In discussing the fight that has
been waged between the REA and
the private utility companies,
Messick said the battle had end

ment of Gwyn Price as chairman
of the rural electric authority in
North Carolina. "This was a COM

A $50, 600 Improvement program
on the system around West JEFF

This program will include the re-
placement of the old poles with

of unskilled local labor will be
employed in this work.

Mr.. Roosevelt made his state
ment about the possibility of
fighting at. a dinner at the Warm
Springs Foundation for infantile
paralysis victims.
Returning to the little White
House" on Pine mountain, he
found a call from Hull awaiting
him, and reached the opinion that
he might have to leave here on
Sunday afternoon and arrive in
Washington Monday morning, in
view of a statement by japanese

Local Rates To
Remain Same But
May Be Lowered
Meeting of Former Northwest
Utility Users Held Here
Last Friday.
MESSICK IN CHARGE

'You are going to have an
abundant supply of electric pow
er in the Jeffersons and if you
need more and can use it, we will
see that you get it," Supt. G. F.
Messick, Of the Blue Ridge Elec-
trio Membership corporation, REA
coop that recently purchased the
Northwest Carolina Utilities sys-
tenn in this county, stated lat a
meeting of electric customers held
in the high school building here
last Friday night.
"At the present time you only
have around $50 horsepower
available and just as soon as we
can get the materials new trans
mission lines will be built into
the towns from two directions,
making $500 horsepower avail
able from Lenoir and 1000 from
Elkin," he said.
eve are ready to string the
wire just as soon as the OPM will
let us have it and in the mean
time we are almost holding our
breaths for fear something will
happen to the old Diesel motor
here"
He pointed out that with an am
pie supply of electric energy,
West Jefferson has good oppor-
tunity of getting more manufac-
turing plants located here.
Rates To Remain Same
In regard to rates, Messick said
that for the time being the same
rates as charged by the Northwest
will be used and indicated that
industrial and commercial rates
would be lowered as soon as the
problem can be studied by the
co-op's board Of directors.
Crates always depend upon the
load and we have every reason
to believe that you will get much
cheaper rates." he said.
Membership in TIE REA coop
is absolutely essential in order to
receive service and letters soil
citing the memberships of all GUS
toners of the Northwest will be
sent out in a few days time, the
superintendent declared. Members
are not responsible for any of the
co-op's debts.
1--WE will also advise you by let
ter concerning your deposits with
the Northwest and they will be
refunded, together with interest
payments"
Growth of r. E. A.
Messick told of the remarkable
progress that the REA has made
in making electric energy avail
able to farmers in the state and
nation since it's establishment by
an act of Congress in 1885.
In North Carolina there are
now % co-ops, serving nearly one
third of the states farmers. Here
in Ashe there are 800 miles of
rural lines, serving approximate
ly 1900 customers.
Money is loaned to the co-ops
at low interest rates over per-
iod of Is years and when it is
paid back, the members then own
the COOP" he said.
At annual meetings, the men,
bers elect a board of directors and
these directors employ superin-
tendent, office help, linemen, etc.
you, the members, are the bos-
ses and none of the employees re-
ceive any big salaries, like pri-
vately owned utilities pay. If you

Time TO Stay Initiation DRAGON

It is good to know the federal government is aware
of the dangers of initiation. President Roosevelt yesterday
urged congress to enact legislation providing for price and
rent control and placing wage ceilings IN industry with the
cooperation of both industry and labor. Ii is high time
the government tackled this serious problem. Imitation
not only jeopardizes the defense effort, but threatens
living standards of the millions making up the population
Of the country.
What does ii avail labor or anyone else if the wage
scale, high as it may 60. fails to keep pace with the ever
widening spiral of higher and higher prices? OF what
avail ia 1t TO the farmer and producer If he gets a higher
price for his product. If the thing he buys in return reaches
such a peak that he cannot buy it, even with augmented
income?
As one college professor, an economist of note, recently
said: The first consequences of initiation is a rapid and
feverish rise of prices, in stocks, in raw materials. in
retail goods.
This rise of prices is always far ahead of the wages
and salaries Of the great mass of the people. The immediate
result is q rising cost of living. As initiation progresses it
eats into savings accounts, reduces the value of all fixed
incomes; slowly but surely eats away the living of the
widow and orphan; destroys schools and charities and pen
sion system. In its final stages ruinous initiation will
destroy a nations trade, paralyze its industry, eat out
its capital.
Imitation hurts everybody, rich and poor. but it falls
most heavily on the little fellow.
II congress is far-sighted, if the soons have the we'll
being of America at heart, if the lawmakers will sim
cerely promote the defense effort, they will take such
needful steps as will prevent initiation. The L. s. cannot
afford initiation, anymore than it can now afford to halt
its defense efforts. Action along Roosevelts suggestions
il imperative.
