After their escape, in which Mar

When they left him, Conway had
about $40 in cash, Hammond and

farmers with their 1941 farm plans.
Director Schuster discussed the
extension service to the Agricultur-

placed considerable stress ON the
conservation of farm commodities
and the greater use of homegrown
products. To a great extent the ex-

GROUP HOSPITAL PLAN.
PROTECTING $4,000
$500 In Lower Delaware Alone Have
Subscribed To Service

Over 5000 people in Kent and
Sussex counties are now protected
by Group Hospital Service, Della
wares hospital-sponsored, non-pro-
fl plan for hospital care. New
groups are forming daily throughout
our state as the benefits of MEM
bership in group hospital service
are becoming more widely known.
Delaware's plan is slightly over five
years old, and with approximately
5000 people of our state under its
care, it ranks high in comparison
with the hospital plans of other
states.
Group hospital service pays al
most your entire bill in any of the
following member hospitals in Del
aware: Milford Memorial, Kent GEN
eral, Beebe, Delaware, Memorial, St
Francis, Wilmington General, and
in these member hospitals in Mary
land: Peninsula General, Edward w.
McCready Memorial, Emergency and
Cambridge Maryland. Moreover,
should sickness or accident over
take a plan member in any part of
the United States or in any foreign
country group hospital service will
pay substantial portion of the
hospital bill.
Mr.. Alcott, manager Of group hos
pital services new office in Milford
stated that interest shown by busi-
nessmen, farmers, professional men,
and industrial workers will soon re-
suit in enrolment protection for
5 900 people in Kent and Sussex
counties alone.

READY TO COOPERATE

Testifying before a Federal power
commission hearing, Allen Paine,
chief counsel for the Washington
Water Power Company ,of Spokane,
said that "all the power companies
ask is to sit down with the govern
ment and work out some cooperative
plan"
The hearing concerned differences
between private utility companies in
the Pacific Northwest and Public
Utility Districts (PUDs) which have
been devised to distribute power
from the governments Bonneville
and Grand Coulee dams. Mr.. Paine
said to the examiner from Washing
ton: "We don't want you to go back
and tell the Commission that the
PUDs threw bricks at us and that we
threw bricks at them That will
never solve anything. Tell them
there is way Of cooperating and
that new uses can be built up for
the vast amounts of power to be
developed by Bonneville and Grand
Coulee. These small squabbles are
wholly unnecessary, and wholly
wasteful to all Of us, the govern
ment, the electric companies, stock
holders and power users.
You have made a fine statement =
said the examiner, and / want to
thank you for it." There has never
been any question Of the electric in
dustry's willingness to work in full
cooperation with the governments
hydro projects in the Pacific North
west and elsewhere. The utilities
have offered time and again to dis
tribute that power over their own
lines and to pass the savings on to
the consumer. That is now being
done in a large part of Oregon, with
all savings passed on to consumers.
What the utilities have opposed is
destruction of their industry, and
eonfiscation of theiR properties by
their own government Power So
cialization advocates have sought to
use the whole power of the Federal
government, including tax exemp-
tion of its power projects, and the
ta& money of all the people, to at
tain that end.
What Mr. Paine said on behalf of
one highly-taxed private utility COM
pany, applies to the entire utility in
dustry in all parts of the country.
The utilities are as eager as anyone |
TO see that the power developed by
the governments dams is efficiently |
used-and is sold at the lowest pos
sible cost to the consumer. All that
stands in the way of doing that are
the zealOts whose principal aim in
life seems to be to ruin an industry
which represents an investment Of
$4,000, 100000, employs more than
quarter of a million people, pays
S4OO,OOO,OOO In taxes annually, and |
has given this country the cheapest
and most abundant electricity the
world has ever known.

Federal Coal Regulation

After number of false starts, the
Federal Government is involved this
winter in fixing the price Of bitumin-
GUS coal, and there is already inn
pressive evidence that this major ex-
pertinent is proving questionable
from a public standpoint, If not
highly mischievous.
The Guffey Bituminous Coal Act
was passed more than three and a
half years ago, with Government
price control over the industry as
its major provision. The Act ex-
pires on April 26, 1941. For upwards
OF three years the Bituminous Coal
Commission and its successor, a
division of the Department Of the
Interior, studied the industry and
prepared the minimum price sched-
ule now in force. The staggering to-
tai Of 100000 different prices is in
volved. Although Federal price-fix-
ing of coal was deferred at times by
adverse court decisions. many pro-
ducers insist that a long delay was
inevitable because the Act is alto
gether impractical Now that II Is
In operation, they assert that no ele-
ment-producers coal miners or the
consuming public-is being served.
On the other hand, administration Of
the Act is certain to involve price i'm
justices to numerous communities
and sections, and inequities to COM
petitive industries. That, they point
out. has been its history to date.
Il has been generally recognized
that the Guffey Act was the creature
of John L. Lewis, but it Is neverthe-
less proving of no benefit to the soft
coal miners. The estimated increase
of $50 100000 in the nations coal
bill during the first year is not like
~ to help the industry. Various pro-
ducers say only the weaker elements
will gain temporary advantage, but
in the end all will feel an accentu-
ated trend toward fuel oil, natural
gas and hydro-electric power re-
sulting from the higher coal prices.
That would curtail rather than benz
eft coal mine employment. During
the first five weeks OF the Govern
ment prices. in October and early
Nofembef, 1870. production fell on
the average 20 per cent The loss Of
tonnage in West Virginia alone, ac-
cording to the West Virginia Coal
Association, was equivalent to the
displacement of 1000 miners for
an entire year, Municipalities as
we'll as household consumers have
found their coal prices advanced
during the heavy consuming season.
Secretary Ickes. who has charge
Of the administration of the Act, has
announced that he will recommend
its extension after its expiration
date. The public. however, will have
opportunity during the winter and
carly spring to judge the efficacy Of
government price control over a
large and complioate dindustry. I'm
less some advantages are revealed
which are not now apparent Con-
gress should hesitate to extend law
which in more than three and half
years has proved so complicated and
controversial and manifestly has
helped no large group of citizens.

KNOW BEFORE you CROW

The public at large has little real
ization of just how accurate per cap
ita fire loss figures are IN making
comparisons of various cities sue
cess in controlling fire.
F d. Layton. President OF the Ma
tional Board of Fire Underwriters,
touched on that in recent address.
Mr., Layton said: "The reduction of
the per capita loss is indeed goal
toward which every community may
well contend and the success Of any
community in attaining a lower per
capita loss rate may we'll be a
source of justifiable pride. However,
there is a point beyond which COM
parisons of this nature, as between
communities, cannot be carried be-
cause the ratio Of values subject to
fire loss to the population will be
found to differ radically as between
various communities.
This fact has been recognized by
the International Association Of
Fire Chiefs. Per capita fire loss fig-
ures are of great interest In indicat-
ing whether the fire losses of a
community have risen or decreased
in a given period of time in rela-
tion 20 its previous record. provided
there has been no material change
in property values or population;
but allowance must be made for the
disparity in the values subject to fire
and their relation to population in
arriving at any comparison as be-
tween communities
In other words, it is obvious that
two cities having an equal per capita
fire loss may not be equal in the |
efficiency of their fire defenses. One |
city may have two or three times !
as much per capita wealth exposed to |
fire as the other. There are too many
factors which may cause fire, to
make 1t possible to Judge any
towns success in fighting it, on the
basis of per capita comparisons
alone
II your towns per capita loss is
going down. well and good. But don't
succumb to unjustifiable pride in
this achievement based ON per cap
ita comparisons alone-your record
may be inexcusable If based on fire
hazard conditions.
