into the postwar future these
days, anticipating a time when

technique may be regarded by The
casual observer as visionary.

Out of the wealth of these first
hand experiences he recently ad-
dressed the "Older Boys and Girls
Conference" at the Walnut Street
Christian Association in Whining
ton, on the subject THE Postwar
World Is Yours. What Will You
Do With It?" Said DR.. Gregg. 1T
was brought out in recent meet
ing of the state conference on post
war rehabilitation that approx
mately 10000 persons had been
drafted from Delaware, and 10000
now engaged in war industry will
be let out The state will thus
be called upon to rehabilitate 30,-
900 persons or approximately one
out of every persons in the state
will need this postwar adjustment.
1t is probably true that or Z
thousand of these will be colOred
citizens and our task will be to
implement these persons into our
economic structure. Delaware State
College has faculty committee on
postwar rehabilitation. and plans
are on foot for extensive utiliza-
ton of the facilities of the college
to meet the problem of the post
war era"
DR.. Gregg urged workers to be
diligent in performing the duties
of their jobs and to avoid absen-
teeism.

influence, however, is in that
realm where it seeks to go further
and become a guide for the future

much of this feeling is derived
from the fact that a high illiteracy

TCAN HAPPEN IN
WASHINGTON


The voters of FL Paso, Texas
have tossed a monkey wrench into
the well-oiled wheels of the public
ownership steamrolIer. bringing il
to a grinding halt well outside the
city limits of their fair city. Its
assorted bureaucratic passengers
have no choice but to leave the
wreck and walk home. That's the
only conclusion to be drawn from
the disastrous defeat by a vote of
/ four to one of a proposal for the
city to take over the privately own
ed Ell Paso Electric Company.
AS interesting as the defeat itself,
is the manner in which it was
brought about. Sometime ago the
Securities and Exchange Commits
sion. in furthering the program of
holding company destruction, or
dered the Engineers Public Service
Company to dispose of its Ell Paso
properties. FL PasO politicians were
waiting with open arms. Under
Texas law the city could purchase
the utility and issue revenue bonds
without a vote of the people. 1t
looked like another open and shut
case of extending public ownership
without interference from the peo-
pie. But at the last minute some
thing went wrong. Local citizens,
with the help of the FL Paso Times.
started movement to submit the
issue to a vote of the people. with
the result that socialism in FL Paso
was nipped in the bud.
With fortnight honesty, the FL
Paso Herald-Post. active supporter
of the public ownership drive. had
this to say: THE landslide was
caused by the disgust of the people
over government interference in
business. Five years ago the pro-
posal would more than likely have
carried. But in the meantime. the
people have been treated to re-
peated doses of government inter-
ference in their affairs. and they
haven't liked it. In this COM
they took the first chance
they had to say so. Recent cleo
tions elsewhere have shown the
same results. 1t is a trend of the
times.
THE national politicians might
take a look at the FL Paso returns.
The leftwIngers. so powerful in
will find something in
the figures to give them pause.
IF 1t can happen in FL Paso, it
ran happen in Washington"

A TRIBUTE TO THE COUNTRY
AND SMALL TOWN NEWSPAPER
By Elmer F. Ruark

The country and small town
newspapers of America have never
been given the credit and recog-
milton they deserve for the service
which they have unselfishly rem
dered to their respective commun-
tiles. Merited. praise and COM
mendation has been showered upon
other agencies which have exerted
strong influence upon the men,
tai. moral and spiritual forces of
our people Little, however, has
been said concerning the tremend-
GUS part the small newspaper has
played in building and maintaining
peaceful and law-abiding society.
In the first place the majority of
them seek to promote the economic
and educational welfare of their
communities by bringing in new
industries, and building new
schools.
Secondly, by their support of
and cooperation with churches of
all creeds. they exert a profound
influence upon the moral and
spiritual lives of their neighbors.
Third. few young people. no mat
ter how hardened, will deliberate
ly perform an act which will reach
the news columns of the country
newspapers. thereby bringing
shame and dishOnOr upon their
parents name.
We may even concede. although
l do not believe this to be true.
that the small papers have had
little to do with the shaping of our !
national opinions and policies. /.
However. we must all admit that /
much of that which is sound and
strong in our American way of 1
life is due TO them.
1t seems to me that the truly
small newspaper
must fulfill a three-fOld purpose.
First. it should serve as fact
finding agency or reservoir upon
which contemporary and future
can draw for important
source material. 1t has been prov
EN- that newspaper files are inval-
lable TO the seeker for dates. facts
and figures. The small newspaper
must be. also. a mirror in which is
reflected the habits and customs of
hat particular community. Here

want TO burn our school houses
because from them have come few
people who used the knowledge

purposes.

conscientious men and women who
publish our newspapers, the

If PEOPLE showed the same
friendliness to their neighbOrs
through the year that they do in the

the home town would be so intimate
and neighbOrly that people would
leave such a place with the great
est reluctance.

printing press can become the In
strument TO drive ignorance aud
bigotry from our midst.
Perhaps one reason for our fail
ure to appreciate the great iniiu-
ence OF the small newspapers is
because the editors have never
realized 1t themselves, or IL they
have, are far too modest to bring
it TO the attention of their readers.

THE RESPONSIBILITY
OF CITIZENSHIP

/ ~ -@<A< -
The president of a leading elec-
trio utility holding company, in
submitting his annual report to
stockholders for the past year, in
cluded few remarks that moi
only the stockholders of his par
ticular company, but everyone
should read. He said:
I'VE do not know of any more
fundamental issue which affects
your interest as citizen and in
vestor than that of government
ownership and control of this in
dustry.
I'VE feel that you as stockholders
have right to know how your dir
ectors and officers stand on this
fundamental issue. since the out
come of it will have vital bearing
upon you. both as citizensh and as
investors.
I'VE are opposed to government
ownership both in principal and in
practice. We are firmly convinced
that operation and ownership by
private citizens under the stimulus
of the hope of profit and tempered
by the fear of loss and under ap-
propriate regulation by govern
ment. is more in the public inter-
est than ownership and control by
government without regulation of
any kind
We do not believe it is the de-
sire of the American people that
the public utility industry be So
cialilzed
THE threat of specialization is. of
course. not peculiar to the public
utility industry. 1t has been re-
liably estimated that some one
fifth of the non-utility industrial
facilities of the nation are now
owned by the government. and this
vast plant is new and efficient. In
contrast. government owns only
about one-eighth of the nations :
electric public utilities. So. while
at one time this industry stood al
most alone in the shadow of social
it now finds many other in
dustries sharing its plight.
What is to become of this vast
government plant-public utility
and other? This is one of the grav-
est problems facing the nation and
it is question we cannot pre-
sumo to answer. But. as to the
public utility industry. if govern
nent policy were such as to per-
nit genuine integration. both ply
