1T SAIELLS!

Evidence that advocates of So
cialized power are far less inter-
ested in benefiting the consumer
than in destroying the $14,000,00O,-
600 private electric industry, is
piling up on every hand. A partic-
uIarly glaring example of this re-
Gently occurred in Texas.
A government undertaking there,
known as the Brazos River Author
ity, has electric power to sell. A
private utility, the Texas Electric
Service Company, offered the Au-
thority s3O6,000 a year for its pow
er, and also offered to resell it to
rural cooperatives for 7.2 mills per
kilowatt hour. The private utility
would carry the power over its
existing lines, and no cost to the
taxpayers would be involved.
Then the Rural Electrifieation
Administration appeared on the
scene. 1t has no transmission
lines. but plans to build $4,000
900 worth-with the taxpayers
money, of course. 1t offered the
Brazos River Authority 100000
for it's power-o third less than
the private company offered. And
1t said it will sell the power to the
local co-ops for 7.64 mills per kilo-
watt substantially more than
the private company planned to
charge.
What happened? A Texas Con-
gressman left Washington and
came home as a special advocate
for the REA. He made this clinch-
ing argument-the Brazos Author
ity must take the REA offer, costly
as 1t is in the light of the private's
company's far better offer, or there
might be no Federal flood control
aid ON the Brazos River, which he
estimated might amount to as
much as 80 or 40 million dollars.
And SO the REA was given the
and the taxpayers, along
with the customers of the local
co-ops, are stuck unless some
thing is done.
This sounds incredible? But the
record is there for all who wish
to read. Acid and apt commentary
on this deal was made by the Fort
Worth Press when it said: I'VE
hope some citizen will be brave
and public spirited enough
to test the case by injunction in
the courts before $2,0OO,0O0 is
wasted in building useless dup
Iicating transmission line which
will benefit no one but the bureau

The Bridge of ChoIatecG

One of the best sellers a few
years ago was Thornton Wilder's
book, "the Bridge of San Luis Rey."
Now, Congressman Stefan of Ne
braska, has trotted out another
Latin bridge worth knowing.
A bill is before the House to pro-
vide for cooperation with Central
American Republics in the con-
struction of the Inter-American
highway to the tune of 20 million
dollars to be spent on. roads and
bridges. Congressman Stefan re-
discovers "the bridge we helped
build at Choluteca in Honduras, in
1897" He explained that 1t is a
part of the proposed international
and cost American tax
payers quarter of a million doll
lars. 1t is "a structure which is
high and dry, with no means of
using it, and a structure which has
been there all of these years, rep
useless spending" said
the Congressman. He explained
that "it is just a half-million-dol-
lar bridge setting out there alone,
with no roads in any direction
lust standing there alone"
Apparently the Choluteca bridge 4
md the roads leading up to it are
waiting for another visit, frim their
Sugar Daddy in Washington-and
lelp to find way to use the bridge.

THE PILOT
By =. A. Han, Milford

By T. A. Hall, Milford
watched an airplane as it plowed
Its way one day, through drift
ing cloud,
And l wondered how the pilot
could dare,
To risk his life away up there.
And thought then came to me,
my friend,
The life-Iv1ive some day will end,
And l will fly above that cloud,
Through which that pilots plane
had plowed.
For l am telling this, just to you,
Since long ago I've pilot too,
That guides my life like a soaring
plane,
Jesus of Calvary is my pilots
name.
So when that morning dawn comes
breaking,
And my pilot calls me from sleep
awaking,
On wings of the morning I'll soar
and soar,
So high you won't see me round
here no more. 1tp

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
By CHARLOTTE SPENCER
NuiritlOnIst for The State Board of Health
SUBSTITUTES FOR SPINACH

Serve leafy green vegetables fire.
quently these summer days. Theil
good favor and economy would b,
reason enough for their abundani
use. Added to that, green leaves
rank next to milk and eggs in the
list of the health giving protective
foods which supply vitamins and
minerals literally and help tC
balance the diet.
Most Delaware gardens now
have supply of young beets. Beet
greens are very commonly used in
more northern states where beets
are frequently planted for their
tops just as turnips are here. Beet
greens are at their best flavor
when they are four to six inches
high and the beets are still small.
Small beets are usually cooked
with the greens, while larger ones
are cooked separately and then
sliced on top Of the greens. Beet
tops are much richer in vitamins
and minerals than are the beets
themselves. \
Swiss Chard is also plentiful
now in many gardens. Its tender
leaves and mild favor make it a
favorite with most families. Don't
allow the slang name Cow beets'
to mislead you because. it is really
an aristocrat among table greens.
1t has been developed from beets
especially for greens. II the leaves
are picked, not uprooted, row of
Swiss Chard in your garden will
provide for your needs until freez-
ing.
Collards are a green commonly
used south of Delaware. They are
a member of the cabbage family,
with a milder; more delicate flavor
than cabbage.
Lambs quarter, a wild green, is
very common now. 1t grows most
ly in cultivated ground, and u.s.
ually appears whenever gardens
are cultivated. It is best for eat
ing when only six to ten inches
high.
Vegetables will lose some of
their vitamins and minerals when
they are cooked. These losses may
be kept at a minimum by cooking
IN very little water and only until
tender and by using no soda.
twenty minutes is plenty of time
to allow for greens. Cooking them
Tor a short time will produce a
sreener, better favored and more
product as well as a
more nutritious one. Cook only
enough for one meal since stOr-
ng and reheating destroys a large
part of the Vitamin c.
Housewives who have depended
lpon spinach as their one leafy |
green vegetable will do well to try
,ut new green's. The present short
lge of spinach and lack of spinach |
iced from Europe may teach us all
o use other greens grown from
american produced seeds. These
,ther greens are just as nutritious
IL spinach and we may find them
much easier to get.
