ira time is needed to get out stub

make a bed or start dinner. Usually
I am kept busy after the first ma
chineful is ready for the wringer.
An electric iron is, in my opinion,
a piece of equipment the usefulness
of which varies with the household.
If the drain on current is heavy,
there may be difficulty in keeping
the iron hot enough for steady work.
Its advantages depend somewhat,
too, on the efficiency of your al
ternate equipment. / find old fash
Toned sad irons, two heated on one
burner of the gas stove satisfactory,
though the arrangement is less con-
venient for some housewives.
I place the ironing board directly
ahead of the stove, and may sit or
stand through an entire ironing
with a minimum of moving.
Time Saved
The question of how much time is
actually saved by electricity is one
frequently brought up; it is a ques-
ton I cannot answer, since I have
no basis for comparison. The nature
of my household changed about the
same time electrical equipment came
to my hands.
My routine work for a family of
varying size, which averages be-
tween three and four, typical Amer
lean family, takes from two to three
hours of the morning, and an equal
time to cook and clean up after the
other two meals. The house has four
rooms, an entry porch and a bath,
and is on two floors. Perhaps this
information may be of help in COM
putting the difference this labor
can make to women who have
not yet the blessings of electricity.
Our standards of housekeeping
vary with the home, and each fam
lily is a law unto itself.

An Editorial
Thankful People

THE FOLLOWING little story APP
\ peared in a local newspaper late
last summer:
ga farmer in one Of the north cen
trail counties of Montana turned the
proceeds of his first load of barley
to be harvested over to his church as
a contribution above his regular
church dues. The load Melted $172
at the market price"
1t reminds US of the thanksgiving
story of the 10 lepers who were
healed by Christ. One of them turned
back to give thanks, the other nine
went on enjoying the great benefit
but forgetting the giver.
We have all been blessed these
past years with bountiful crops. How
many, as they harvested them, re-
membered that the rain and the
sunshine had been sent at just the
right time?
Thankfulness is a rare quality.
Books Tell the Story" is the
theme for Children's book week this
year, which is Nov. 1920.
children everywhere today are
in urgent need of help towards
clarity of vision, a sense of history
in both big and little things, of
beauty, dignity, courage and humor
with which to develop balanced per-
sonalities capable of rebuilding a
balanced world. Artists have always
taught people how to see, and, in
one sense or another, everyone con-
nected with making better books
available to children is an artist
the publisher, bookseller, librarian,
teacher, group-leader, parent, all are
constant creators of interest and
knowledge"
Books are so terribly important
in the life of a child, the right sort
of books-and how greatly that need
has been exploited. There are those
who believe that just any book is
all right.
Parents and teachers may we'll ia,
miliarize themselves with the library
facilities in their communities
Where there are city or county Ii
braries, they should acquaint them
selves with the library and thos'

And where there are no hbrar,
facilities at all such organizations a

have no better project than to max

h1OI long ago a Wen known maya
~ zine had as its cover picture a
farm family. Commenting ON the
happy domestic scene, the artist
said that he was compelled to use
props to distinguish the rural family
from one in the city. Perhaps cleo
tricity, more than any other factor,
is responsible for improved homes
which contribute much to the
greater ease of modern farm living.
Lights. When we snap a switch or
pull a cord, do we always appre-
ciate, I wonder, the amount of I'M
pleasant labor from which we have
been freed? Either kerosene or gaso-
line lights represent a good bit of
household work; with the former
there are chimneys to wash and
polish, and how they show up
streaks when a light is inside them,
though they may not show much
else! Every morning they must be
filled, too, and their wicks wiped

where you need them.
While a gasoline light is a great
improvement over the kerosene, at
least as light, those of you who have
had them and have escaped them,
know, too, the disadvantages they
present. Lights alone have done
much to lift the onc heavy burden
of the farm homemaker.
Then Comes Running Water
But once electricity is installed,
what family does not Immediately
imagine itself in possession of rum
ming water? A sink in the kitchen
and perhaps a wash bowl in the
entry hall where the men may wash
up before meals come first. We
quickly grow accustomed to freedom
from water buckets which had been
carried from barrel Of pump, and
more and more farm families, having
gone SO far, add a bathroom.
After that there are many labor
saving devices, or more gadgets
which intrigue the imagination. A
cleaner was my dream,
Having it, I do not use it for routine
cleaning, since the floors are limo
leum covered, but for special jobs
it is indispensable.

quickly and easily busted with a
cleaner.
There are further attachments,
sprayers, de-mothing devices, even
a gadget for massaging the scalp,
the usefulness of which vary with
each household.
An electric mixer, a boon to the
busy mother, is likely to be seldom
used in a small family, but its uses,
too, are manifold. Not only does it
save us from those tiresome beat
ings of cake batter, it can be used
to fluff mashed potatoes, whip
cream, beat egg whites, or to make
candies and icings. I have found it
tricky for mayonnaise, though.
And Easy Washing
So much a habit that I scarcely
think of it any more is the electric
washer. Its principal advantages
over a machine with gasoline motor
are ease in starting, with no atten-
ton paid to fueling and motor care,
plus the lessening of noise. My wash
ings, for a family of four, take an
average of three hours a week.
While the machine rubs, I can dc
other tasks, usually wash the break

Atomic Medicine
Washington Postl

The Atomic Energy Commission could have made no better investment than the million dollar fellowship fund has just established to train doctors and bio logical scientists in atomic medicine. Such training will, of course, have obvious military value in develop ing new treatments for atomic radiation victims. But in opinion the greatest significance of this study is to open doors to the enormous potenali ties of atomic energy for peacetime great bot tleneck in tapping this potential is the shortage of trained scientists who know how to handle the basic ingredient. The commission aims at relieving this shortage by providing continuous fellowship funds sufficient to attract capable not only deal with health hazards but also to accommodate basic re- search.
 Necessary emphasis on the military aspects of atomic energy has relegated to second place its deve ment source of power. However peacetme application of atomic energy the possibilities of which have barely been touched is the use of radioactive isotopes which the commission makes available for medical and other scientific purposes The fellow ship program should facilitate exploration these pos abilities For example, through the of isotopes whose radations detectable by instruments, it is possible to trace the course of substances through plants and through the human body.
 This fact alone has enormous possibilities for research in such diseases cancer well in un- locking the secrets of plant energy From the philoso phca standpoint, the really important meaning of effort to harness the giant of atomic energy for constructive social good in the tremendous running with the forces of destruction Civilized man will hope that this approach which stresses the virtually limtless benefits of atomic energy kind may prove to be the most effective way of preventing the consumption of the world by atomic bombs.

 Commodity prices as measured by the U S.. index have moved forward another IA per cent. concentration of gold production in the British Com monwealth has led to suggestions that higher price for gold might solve the Empires dollar shortage. The Canadian government has decided to increase gold production by paying a subsidy to gold mines for three years dating from December l, 1947.

REPLY TO THE DEMOCRATIC DINNER

We have read the speeches and the statement that 250 dined at Sal mon Creek Country Club. We think it was ITO and as tickets were being given away freely by bars and cock tail bars in the city each is reported to have taken $25 worth of tickets.
 This is good business for the bars to take these tickets. A look at the Democratic Platform will see the reason WHY.
 The present liquor dealers have a monopoly under it's plank.
 As to the Republican misgivings, TT WAS JAMES FARLEY, IN AN INTERVIEW A FEW DAYS AGO THAT STATED THE CONDITIONS IN THESE UNITED STATES TO- DAY. IT WAS THE RESULT OF THE THIRD AND FOURTH TERMS OF FRANKLIN D. ROOSE- WELT.
 We have a Sales Tax ill Alaska and more taxes are advocated
 It was Democrat leaders in the Senate that stated the Territory had sufficient funds to operate upon and the Legislature accepted this word, one, being Chairman of the Finance Committee.
 As to as Alaska goes so goes the Nation; the major offices in Alaska elected Democrats in 1946. Also the Senate was Democratic.
 It took a special election to elect a Republican to give the House one majority.

SOVIET FOREIGN LEGION

A secret report to the House Un~American Activities Commit tee from behind the Iron Cur tain" reveals how the Communists are strengthening their interna- tional brigade for action against Italy and France, as well as Greece.
 It is generally known that the Soviet Foreign Legion" was form ed to bolster Communist guerrillas in Greece, after it became appar- ent that the Greek Communists could not conquer the country alone.
 But what is not known iS that the first load of foreign recruits was picked up at Marseilles, France, by the s. S. Radnik which left Vancouver for Yugoslavia on Valentines Day ore year ago. These volunteers numbe-ed only 49, the majority of them of Slav origin.
 However, when the Greek civil war became tougher than expected, the international brigade organized for new offensives. not only against Greece but against Italy and France The fighting in the latter two countries is planned to be nuisance raids at first, depend- ing upon internal politics.
 Moscow has sent out a recent order permitting even German political and war prisoners ito volunteer for active military ser vice" with the international bri- gade. As an inducement they were promised reductions in their prison terms.

CT on the price of natural gas. Particularly they wanted to know how he stood on the famous Rizley Bill which would permit the gas companies to hike gas prices just at time when customers can least afford it and when gas com- panies are already making record profits.
 Behling was then preparing an exhaustive report on natural gas for the Commission, and to dis close his position in advance would have been unethical. He refrsed to commit himself.
 Whereupon Senator Moore held a political club over Behling's head and blocked his confirmation to the Federal Power Commission.
 Mcore's bludgeoning was so raw faced that EPIC Commissioner liar rington Wimberly, a fellow Okla homan, wrote a letter of protest.
 Tt seems to me improper, Vim berly commented, flor anyone to seek. at this time any commitment frcm MT Behling as to what his position on this very important matter will be before he has had an opportunity to complete his study"
 However, whether because of Moores political club or because of his own personal conviction, Behling has now recommended ex- actly the price boost for natural gas previously demanded by Sem ator Moore and his friend, gas lcbbist Porter.
 Incidentally, Moore is now de- lightedly trying to push through Behling's confirmation to the Fed eral Power Commission.

GOEBBELS DIARY

A backstage row is developing over whether the diary of Joseph Goebbels belongs to the United States Government or to the Her bert Hoover Library.
 The Gobbels diary, about 1000 pages long, was recently discovered in Germany by friends of Her bert Hoover while Hoover was on survey of Germany's economic conditions. The diary has been carefully edited and annotated by Louis Lochner, former ace Asso- ciated Press correspondent in Ber- lin, and is shortly being released to American newspapers by the North American Newspaper Alliance with book publication handled by Doubleday and Co, Inc.
 However, the Alien Property Gus todian claims that all former property of the Nazi government in the American zone of Germany now belongs to the American peo- pie, and that the profits from the Goebbels diary should go to the U. s. Treasury. Justice De- partment officials also claim that the original of the diary should be deposited in the Library of Con- gress, though friends of Herbert Hoover have already made plans to deposit it in the Hoover Library.
 Hitler's propaganda minister kept a most meticulous day-to-day ac- count of his hate plans and his conversations with Hitler, Part of the diary is devoted to diatribes against the Jews and Catholics and tells of vows to liquidate both re- ligions after the war It is obvious from the diary that Goebbels was insane.
 Note: Louis Lochner has done an excellent editing job. with cross references to the many Nazi fig ures mentioned in the Goebbels diary

HOW THE GAS LOBBY WORKS

The public utility lobby has long been known as the most brazen in Washington, while Senator Ed Moore of Oklahoma has long been known as the tool of one section of this lobby-the gas and oil inter eSts.
 But just how brazen this lobby is and how closely it is linked with Senator Moore has leaked out only recently in connection with the appointment of Burton Beh- ling to the Federal Power Com mission.
 Shortly after Behling's name was first sent to the Senate to be a Federal Power Commissioner, he received a summons to report to Senator Moores office. There, much to his surprise, Guy Wood ward. Mocres chief assistant, in troduced him to F. M Porter, pres ident of the Mid-Continental Oil and Gas Association.
