CANTON REFLECTOR
BY Elsie Salmen

Canton. Ohio, Nov. 2O-Last
Sunday the Juniors were to have
a hike at Schorsten's. but it was
not held. Four Juniors showed
up, and even some of the officers
did not come. When it was
brought up at our last meeting
to have hike. everyone was in
favor of. having it. That is really
something. Then you wonder
why we don't have very many
doings.
Don't forget that we are 60
ing to sing at the karpathen
Concert. Nov. 70. at the club.
The attendance at singing prac~
tice is slowly getting better. They
are held every Tuesday night.
The Ladies' Senior Lodge is
holding a card party on Nov. u
at the Sachsenheim. All Juniors
are asked to come to this affair.
Last Saturday night our bas-
ketball team was really drubbed
by the team we had in '39. The
score was 72-29. High scorers
were Fulz for our present team
and Lutsch for the team of '39.
Be sure to attend basketball prac-
tices which are being held every
Wednesday night. Call the pres.
to find out where the practices
are held.

a PLACE TO SAVE
PUBLIC MONEY

To any thinking person, one OF
the main problems connected
with our gigantic defense pro-
gram is to get maximum results
at minimum cost to the govern
ment-which means at minimum
cost to the taxpayers of today
and tomorrow who must pay the
bill.
There is at least one phase of
defense where this eminently
sound principle seems to have
been virtually thrown to the
winds.
That is the electric power
phase. There is general agree
ment that our power supply must
be substantially increased, in
order to care for the demands of
various kinds of arms factories.
And so certain group OF politi-
clans are urging the necessity
of building more government
power dams and expanding 9TH
ers-with, of course, the taxpay-
ers' money. So far, some $2,O0O.-
100000 has already been spent in
this manner.
The sound way out of any
power problem" that may exist
is very different. 1t lies in en-
couraging the private industry
to expand sufficiently to- meet
our potential needs-expansion
which would be paid for entirely
with private money. and which
wouldn't cost any taxpayer a
nickel. No one who knows the
private electric industry can be-
lieve that it would fail in this ii
It were given the simple assur-
ance that it would be permitted
TO stay in business, and not be
faced with more government,
competition from tax-subsidized,
tax-built, politically operated
plants. 1t is not asking for great
profits. 1t asks only that it be
able to go ahead under public re-
gulation in the normal way of
business, serving the public to
the best of its great abilities, and
earning enough profit to pay in
vestors a moderate return on
their money.
If this has not occurred to our
lawmakers, it should be brought
to their attention. Not one cent
should be spent by government
for generating or distributing
power, unless it can be proven
beyond question that the exist
ing private industrie, which has
