RURAL ELECTRIC FILMS
TO BE SHOWN SOON
"Power and The Land"
Can Be Seen At
Main Street In Future

Arrangements have been made SO
that farm and city folk alike will
have the opportunity to see the
new 36-minute documentary film
POWER AND THE LAND at their
local movie theatres during the
month Of February. This film is
to be shown at local theatres In
st. Cloud, Little Falls, Melrose, AL
bany, Sank Centre, Eden Valley
Paynesville and Cold Spring. The
film, POWER. AND THE LAND,
has been prepared by the Rural
Identification Administration and
RKO Pictures and is a story Of q
typical farm family, the Parkin-
sons.
Bill Parkinson, his missus, Hazel,
and five children are the leading
characters in POWER AND THE
LAND, a pictorial record, as dra-
matte as 1t Is true, Of the boon in
living conditions and efficiency that
electric power brings to the farmer.
No member of the Parkinson
family had ever attended drama
tic classes, played leads in school
plays, apprenticed with a Little
Theatre troupe nor otherwise dis
tinguished themselves as Thespians
except in the way known to all
country folk who, remote from
sources of entertainment and linn
tied finances, must necessarily fall
back on their own resources for
amusement.

MIR. ADAMS EXPLAINS
SLOT MACHINE BILL

If the law which I am trying to
enact had been on the statute
books the gates of Saltwater would
not be ajar waiting for the arrival
of Pastor Soltau. 1t would not be
necessary for him or any other
representative of civic bodies to
visit East Grand Forks, ST. Cloud,
Shakopee or South st. Paul to
have the law controlling slot ma
chimes enforced. Everybody knows
that there are hundreds of slot
machines in operation all over the
state. 1t is true that some are
licensed in violation of the law by
municipal authorities who license
and take fees and are "particeps
criminals" If this proposed law
Is enacted fraternal leagues, golf
and social clubs and such organi-
cations can still retain their ma
chimes and they will not be law
violators.
If slot machines are tolerated,
and they are by a great many peo-
pie who call themselves good, there
Is no reason why some of the pro-
fits should not go to the munich
palities which have to support
those whom the machines impov-
erish instead of having millions
taken by alleged reformers, rack
| eteers, and holdup men. That these
| profits are large is shown by the
receipts Of municipalities which lie
ense them.
If the people who decry the lie
ensing and supervising Of slot
machines and are horror stricken
at the thought would only get ac-
tive in suppressing them, 1t would
help but I cannot recall a single
resolution passed by any civic body
calling on the Governor, the Bur
eau Of Criminal Approximation the
sheriffs or the county attorneys
to suppress them. It does not take
a Oman to locate a slot machine.
The proposed law gives every num-
icipality the privilege Of tolerat-
ing or not tolerating. The only
reason I am for licensing and con-
trolling is because suppression has
failed.

Senator 50th District.

METERS FUNCTION
 HERE PERFECTLY
No Difficulties Reported; Cold Weather Fails to
 Hinder Operations
-NEA Telephoto

Owners of automobiles who use the parking meters installed in the downtown sections of Waterbury will be interested in few simple rules which may be employed to advantage:
 1. When entering meter space, pull up to white mark just beyond the meters, insert coin and make a complete turn of the handle.
 2. Be sure that the white disc on the face of the meter is turned out, A part turn is illegal.
 3. Each coin inserted will register period of time allowed to park.
 4. If meter registers unfinished time drop coin in and give com plete turn for full time allowed.
 5. Deposit money at time of park ing not afterwards.
 6. If meter is not working, report to an officer to avoid penalty.
 '. Copper colored meters are for Is and 30 minutes parking. Grey colored meters permit 20, 40. 60 and two hour parking.
 8. Park your car at all times par allel with the curb.
 Many persons using the meters re- port favorably. Previous to the in- stallation, difficulty in finding space was acute; those who wished to dc business of an urgent nature in the congested downtown district found it almost impossible to find parking space. The new setup makes space available at a very small cost.
 Notwithstanding the cold weather and the occasional "ice-coatings' which the changes in temperature brought about during the past weeI the meters functioned splendidly No complaints were received iron the police or the public. Many driv' CTS, however not accustomed ye to the knack of operating the me ters merely deposited a coin anc gave the handle a slight twist. Pa trolmen checking parking violation! noticing that some meters haC failed to register, but observing thu coins as evidence of good faith or the part of the drivers completed the operation so that the pennies clicked.
