FOR HAPPIER RURAL HOMES

cThe pogrram which the REA CO.
ops are carrying out today grew out
of great unsatisfied need on the
part of our rural people" says Claud
r. Wickard, Rural Electrification Ad-
ministrator. Central station electric
service was developed in this country
over a half century ago; yet as late
as 1885 it's benefits were confined al
most wholly to urban areas. In 1885
only one out of every ten farms en-
joyed this modern necessity.
"And all the while the disparity
between city an durral living was
growing greater. Rural homes were
dark and full of drudgery. They did
not have running water, food refrig-
Grafton modern cooking stoves, mod
ern washers, ironers and many other
timesaving devices. Farm mothers
were overburdened and too often
shortlived; ambitious and enterpris-
ing boys and girls left the farm in
increasing numbers, often at the first
opportunity.
ELECTRICITY can do more than any
other factor to make rural homes
happier and healthier. Electricity
helps rural homes feed more intelli-
gence, character and vitality into the
Nations bloodstream. 1t is an essen
tial factor in undermining our rural
community facilities in keeping with
present day needs of rural people.
"At this time electricity is well on
it's way to bringing about a revolu-
tion in farming methods. 1t not only
| helps the farmer to produce more
efficiently but i thelps him produce
more and better products to meet
consumer needs. Rural electrification
means more business on Main Street
and more demand for the products of
mines and factories. Small rural in
dustries and farm processing plants
folio welectricity into rural areas and
help stabilize the incomes of rural
people,"

U. S. Industry Sets
New Output Records

Given the chance, American indus
try can deliver the goods in record
smashing volume.
The tremendous productive capacity
of American enterprise, demonstrated
in World War II, is exhibited again
in the production of civilian goods to
meet unprecedented peace-time de-
mand.
Since the ending of disruptive
strikes in steel, coal, copper and rail
industries last winter and spring,
many industries have achieved new
peace-time peaks in output in civilian
goods.
Radios, washing machines and many
types of electrical household goods
are among items from re-converted
industries being produced in larger
volume than before the war. Steel.
electric power and other basic indus
tries likewise are producing in record
peace-time volume.
Uninterrupted production at these
peace-time peaks is the best assur-
ance of supply to meet pent-up de-
mand and to ease the pressure for
higher prices.
The midland journal., 1946-09-27
"TAILORED" FUELS

We Americans are SO prone to take
industrial miracles for granted we
frequently overlook the tremendous
amount of work it requires to
achieve them.
Comes now ID. p. Barnard noted
petroleum researcher, to tell us that
the new designs in auto engines will
require carefully tailored gasolines
Automatic clutches, he says, will re-
quire gasoline with perfect idling
characteristics to make them work.
'sEarly automobiles, diesel engines
and jet planes could use any old
fuel" Dr. Barnard reports, "but as
better and more efficient engines are
built they must have fuels which are
just right for their highly-specialized
needs Scientific controls in the man
ufacture of gasoline and other motor
fuels, therefore, become increasingly
important"
What interests us about that is
what DR.. Barnard didn't say. He did
not say, for instance that these better
fuels are going to require more and
better laboratories, more skillful and
kighly-trained scientists, and-above
all-more of them.
All of this means that the field of
petroleum research now and in the
future offers more and better jobs to
more people than ever before. That S
true of just about every skilled trade
or profession in the world today.
So about the best advice to any
youngster in the United States today
is to stick to that education as long
as he can, study as hard as he can,
and don't stop learning vixen he's
out of school.

ACCIDENTS UP-DRIVER
CAJTTION DOWN

"Accidents are going up because
driver caution is going down." ac-
cording to an analysis of the situa-
ton by Keystone Automobile Club
based on findings of highway safety
specialists.
Undoubtedly, there are many fac
tors contributing to the wholesale
slaughter of motorists and pedes-
trians on the highway of the Nation"
said William J. Merrell, Manager of
the Club in Maryland. "And certain
ly," he continued, eve must have
clear-cut understanding of what
these causes are before we can effec-
lively mobilize for tEeir elimination.
''The most recent study of what
makes highway accidents happen
resulted in some important observa-
ton by safety experts who come to
first-hand grips with the problem.
They found, first of all, that accidents
are going up because driver caution
is going down, citing many forms of
recklessness which certainly prove
the point of lack of caution. A major
fault is failure to slow down and
look both ways before entering inter-
sections.
Cali in all, it comes right down
again to the individual. While made
quate highways and unsafe vehicles
contribute, in some measure, to the
hazards of driving, the human being
who rides or walks is the chief cu1-
prit. Until the great mass of indivi-
dual motorists and pedestrians make
up their minds that it's smart to curb
their impatience, keep constantly
alert, realize their limitations and
give the otker fellow a break, we'll
continue to shake our heads over
highway accident headlines that
sound like reports from the battle
front"

sHoRTCHANGED GENERATION

Malvina Lindsay, columnist OF The
Washington Post, does not mince
words in the discussion of teacher
shortages this year. Says she:
Communities, faced with their
closed or overcrowded schoolrooms,
their substandard teachers, will at
last have to take stock of themselves.
What are they sacrificing for the
schooling of their children? About
IA percent of the national income
wkile Great Britain spent 2 per cent
Soviet Russia about 13 per cent. Fol
what are their state treasuries-now
generally solvent-expending funds? p?
Roads first, then public health, then
education.
What are they doing to attract
teachers? Paying them less than the
garage mechanics who take care OF
their cars. Making drudges out OF
them in community chores. Letting
elderly school boards and nosey Mrs
Grundys direct their social life, fail
ing to show them the appreciation
and honor for which their souls are
starving.
The basis of solving the teacher
problem lies in shocking Americans
into realizing the national peril OF
shotcrhanging educatioanlly today's
children. They need to see that the
teaching task is so important the SUI
permen and superwomen SHOULD be
developed to handle it.

During the ten years and more OF
Hitler's control of Europe O,OOO
or more than one-fourth of all the
Jews in the world, have been liqui-
dated-gassed, cremated, or worse, -
says DR.. Conrad Hoffman of the In
ternational Missionary Council. "Of
the more than 100000 Jews in con-
tinental Europe, it is estimated THAT
not more than 100000 re-
main. Ninety per cent of Polish jew
ry, SO per cent of French Jewry, rs
per cent of Belgian Jewry and S3 pei
cent of Greek Jewry have been exter-
minated. Of all his mad objectiyes
Hitler came nearest to success in his
aim to completely annihilate the
Jews of Europe. And those Jews who
have survived are far from normal
Bodies are broken, nerves wracked
and minds warped and distorted. All
are in need of food and clothing, but
even more so of friendship and SYM
pathy, and the reinsurance that they
still count as men created in the i'm
age of God"

Almost everything from. frying
pans to heifers' candles, dolls
textbooks, carpenter tools, feed bags
clothing and bedding somewhere il
between--has been shipped during
the past couple of years to the needy
of Europe and Asia from the eight
centers of Church World Service
the largest being in New Windsor
Maryland. From New Windsor alone
during the first half of 1946, there
was shipped overseas 100000 lbs
of clothing; 100000 pounds OF
food, and 1900 pairs of shoes,
Twenty-one hundred dairy heifers
we're shipped to Europe. Practically
all this material was contributed by
church people in America, and most
of it is being distributed by Christian
pastors overseas; but the distribu-
tion is made without regard to race,
color, creed or politics"

Better health, better food, better
sanitary and economic conditions,
and an increase in literacy in the
villages: these are some of the "basic
needs" missionaries of all faiths are
trying to give India's people. New
efforts are being made in a number of
these fields in the postwar period.
The Methodist Church, for example,
from it's Crusade for Christ moneys
is providing $160,O0O for the develop
ment of the All-India Medical College
in Vellore-witk hospitals, mess
training and doctor-training; S11,-
900 for an adedd equipment for Ma
dar Union tuberculosis Sanitorium;
$4,000 for new building and equip
ment for Clara Swain Hospital, Ba-
reilly; and $500 for the establish
ment of seven "centers" for rural
and village development-each CEN
ter to have native-style church,
school and clinic.

Before the war, there was strong
minority Protestant group in Poland :
100000 Lutherans, 10000 Baptists,
and smaller thousands of Reformed,
Methodist and Evangelical church
men. The minority suffered in about
the same proportion as the Catholic
majority: thousands of their dead
are still buried under the rubble OF
Warsaw and otker cities, buildings
are in ruins, congregations are scat
tered, pastors are killed or are the
victims of concentration camp star
walton, schools and hospitals are de-
stroyed. Under the World Council OF
Churches and through American re-
lief agencies, efforts are being made
to give relief in food and clothing to
as many as possible, and to reestab-
lish a leadership for the Protestant
churches. The University of Warsaw
and its Theological Faculty are en-
deavoring to train young men for the
ministry. But the conditions are dis
couraging: there are no books, the
library having been burned; the stu
dents have insufficient food and
clothing and no text books-they are
trying to mimeograph copies of books
to take the place of texts; and the
Minister of Social Welfare says that
rs per cent of the students have be-
ginning tuberculosis. The World
Council Of Churches is trying to re-
lieve these situations whee prossible.

Good Taste In Curtains

Perfect tailoring and simple
treatment are key words for good
taste in curtains. At groups of win
dows, curtains may be hung in
straight lines from a track on the
ceiling, thus forming a curtain wall.
Tiny, useless windows should be
covered with wallboard. Draperies
should hang in nice folds to the out
side Of the window frame. Draper
les should be made apron or floor
length. Ready-made curtains should
not be hung the way they were de-
livered from the store. Fit them to
windows, add tie backs and hand
some valance.
