Russian Mystery

There will probably always be lot of
mystery surrounding the true nature of
relations between this country and Russia.
Our forms of government are at opposite
ends of the pole and our ways of living are
decidedly dissimilar.
But when we are fighting a war side
by side against an enemy who was out to
destroy both nations, there is every rea-
son to expect an understanding to grow up
between our nation and Russia which
would take years to bring about in normal
times
We can take it for granted that Rus
STA is just as anxious as we are to have
peace after this war. Undoubtedly Russia
will want to have lot to say at the peace
conference. There may be disagreement
at that time over the terms of settlement
But if the people of our country will
make every possible effort to understand
and sympathize with the Russian viewpoint
we can expect the Russians to do the same
with us. We will both have the same final
aim of long-lasting peace. Although our
plans for achieving that aim may differ
there is no reason why we cannot come to
an agreement suitable to both nations.
But to do this, we must stop looking
upon Russia with suspicion and try our
best to understand that giant nations prob
lens and ambitions.
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1943-09-09

MANAGEMENT for successful operation. We
grant this is true but we are wondering II
the MANAGEMENT should not cooperate
with the owners. Besides our own, we have
records of a number of other instances
where members have been justified in
their complaints against the management
for lack of cooperation.
Perhaps Mr.. Messick's advice does not
work both ways An Ashe county official
was in this office recently and urged that
through the columns of this paper that we
call attention to the lack OF cooperation
and unfair practices of the Blue Ridge
Electric Membership Cooperation in con-
Quoting its business. This man is one of
many heard from, who did not appreciate
the lack of cooperation.
Another funny thing to us about Mr..
Messick's idea of cooperation is his failure
to pay bills. We pay for our electricity
regularly, but Mr.. Messick will not pay an
account of long standing with us. What
kind of cooperation is this, readers?
The Blue Ridge Electric Membership
bulletin concludes by stating that "co-ops
here and in other countries, have been sue
cessful only to the extent their members
were able to translate cooperative princi-
pals into sound cooperative practices" 1t
seems to me that the management should
set an example in cooperative practices.
And if Mr.. Messick would only practice
what he breaches to the members, we. be-
lieve we would have more successful CO.
operative. But perhaps he is one of those
individuals, like some of those in other
countries who are in the saddle, so to
speak, and demand cooperation from their
subjects but see no reason of giving CO.
operation. = 1~ ~~@~"~ '~-, -s*

Cows Will ''MOO'' For Them

Although it is difficult to buy even a
rubber band today it is expected that we
will have such an abundance of rubber af-
ter the war that there will be thousands of
new products made of it-including rub
Der mattresses for COWS!
That one may seem little ridiculous,
but the B. F. Goodrich company actually
is working on that possibility right now.
They believe that rubber mattress or
floor covering for stables will help main
tain healthy stock by providing cleaner and
more sanitary housing conditions.
Whether this particular product is final
ly developed or not, there is no doubt that
many new uses for rubber on farms will
be worked out by rubber technicians who
are now working on the problem of selling
more rubber goods to farmers.
In addition to the normal supply of rub
i Der which we will obtain from the far east,
and which was sufficient for all needs be-
fore the war, after the war we will also
have an enormous output of synthetic rub
Der. The total rubber supply will probab-
ly be more than twice what it has ever
been in the past.
So don't tell your cows yet-but it
looks as though all farm animals may lead
a life of Riley in the postwar era.
