Added At Rate Of 1000 ADay

Installation of telephones in farm homes is increasing at such a rapid rate that telephone com panies sometimes are hard put to it to keep up with the de- mand. One remote area in Color ado, which can't be reached by the normal method of stringing wires, is connected by short wave and radio telephone equip ment. Eight ranches in this par tlcular area are served on this hook-up.
 Farmers were putting in
 phones al the ratio of one in
 four homes in l940. That
 figure had risen 10 one in
 three by l945. and it's now be-
 lieved 10 be higher than four
 in ten.
 Not only are the farmers ask ing for service, they're asking for the most modern type of equipment with that service. The crank operated wall phone is as much a thing of the past on the farm as it is in the home of the city cousin.
 The farmer picks up his phone and asks for a number, just as the businessman does. Some times he picks up his phone and dials that number. And even as he dials, new phones are going into other farm homes all across the country for the installation rate has reached a record high of 1000 phones day.

Joint Rate Slash Is Announced

A new Alaska Steamship Co.,, freight tariff naming propor- tional rates or weight basis, be- tween Seattle and Tacoma, Wash, and Valdez, will bring down truck rates to many Alas kan points, it was announced this week by Robert J. Mitchell of the Richardson Highway Truckers Association.
 MT. Mitchell said lower rates will be effective to Tonsina, Copper Center, Chitina, Gull kama, Sourdough, Paxon, Rapids, Chistochina, Slana, Nabesna, Tanacross, Big Delta, Richard son, Fairbanks, Livengood and Circle City.
 Commodity rates in the tariff for groceries, meats, fruits, veg etables, furniture, oil, building materials, cement, and other items, now apply on any quan- tity, thus eliminating the need of ordering in carload lots to obtain the lower rates.
 Terminal charges at the Val dez dock also have been revised to conform with steamship and truck rates.
 Truckers hailed the new tariff, saying it is expected to materi- ally increase the traffic moving over the highway network in the open season. It is believed the increased volume will justify the maintenance of the highways to keep them open the year round.
 The new tariff becomes eff fective on April 5, 1948.

HOW TO INFLUENCE CHILDREN

Mothers and fathers of Marion often wonder
whether certain activity Of their young sons
and daughters is exactly the wise thing for
young people,
The anxiety Of parents about the conduct
of their children is understandable Naturally,
they sincerely concerned. They want their
boys and girls to grow into fine men and
women.
There is way in which parents influ-
ence the conduct of their children. 1t is not by
denouncing their customs or Furnishing the
young people. After all, growing boys and girls
require some form of amusement and social
life. It is natural for them to congregate to-
gether. If parents dislike current activities, it
might be a good idea for parents to provide
other activity.
Before older people complain of what
younger people are doing, it behooves them
to bestir themselves and see what they are
doing for the boys and the girls

INDUSTRIES SHOULD BE SELECTED

The effort to secure industry has caused
many communities to go hog-wild on the acqui-
sition of new industries
Dennis O'Harrow, a state planner, recently
warned that some attention should be paid to
the mortality rate of small and established
businesses and that thought should be given,
in connection with securing Industries, to the
effects that the new industry will have on the
local economy.
Somewhat along the same line, DR.. Victor
Roterus, of the U. S. Department of Commerce.
points out that little expansion along selected
development lines ''is better than lot of ex-
panson without any consideration as to what
community area is really looking for.''
In effect we suspect that the gentlemen are
trying to tell the people of the nation that they
should work toward balance between indus
try and agriculture rather than to become over
jndustrialized along any particular line We
think the observation has merit and that Mar
ion, for example, in its quest for new industries,
should inteligently select the types of indus
try encouraged to settle in this area.
1t is good to have balance between agricul-
.ture and industry but it is just as bad to be
over-balanced from an industrial standpoint
as from agricultural standpoint Of~course,
Marion has long way to go before the threat
of ver-industrialization will be patent, but
no community loses anything by intelligent
planning.

MODERN DIME NOVELS

While thoroughly in sympathy with the
efforts of well-meaning adults to improve the
contents of the so-called comic books, we doubt
il the movement is to be benefited by an effort
to outlaw them altogether.
The present denunciation of the comic books
is much in line with the criticism of dime novels
in former generation and the earlier antipa-
thy toward novels of any kind in the centuries
past.
For some reason, human beings seem to like
books that have little value, in the judgment of
critics and adults. This tendency has been
noted through countless generations and it will
probably prevail for some years to come

CRAVE FOX RADIO G1VE-AWAYs

This country has way of developing strange
crazes which expand to the point of threaten
ing the nations sanity, and then, in the nick of
time, simply disappear There have been times
when chain letters, a means of getting rich
quick, have grown to such proportions that they
threatened all maimen with broken arches
There was the craze of miniature golf. And
who now remembers the wave of pole-sitting g
which swept across the country?
Now, for the moment, the craze is for give
away programs, rather than pole-sitting or
chain letters. Hundreds of thousands of Ameri-
cans of border-line intelligence listen to the
come-on patter for hours ach day, their mouths
drooling with the prospect of free trip to
Bermuda all logged out in new clothes and
a life of ease and plenty ever after, as re-
ward for their vigil.
Sometime before long it will begin to seep
in on these thousands that the odds against
their actually shaking down the sponsor for
a life of ease and trouble computing them.
Then perhaps they will go back to Fred Allen
and the rest of the currently disgruntled tribe
of laugh h-makers,-Baltimor Sun.

DEPENDS UPON OUR SPIRIT

The permanent and profitable development
of any community, including Marion, depends
upon the spirit of its citizens and the utilization
of local resources of money, materials and
intelligence.
Contrary to much present-day thought, our
development does not depend upon the amount
of state money spent in vicinity or the
amount of Federal cash that can be sucked in.
These funds may provide squirt but if their
acceptance involves surrender of local spirit,
the final plight of the municipality may be
worse than before the money arrived
We not saying that we should forego all
of the advantages that come from outside
sources We suggest, however, that, very often,
the time and energy expended in seeking out
side aid could effect substantial development.
Moreover, city or town grows through the
initiative and ability of it's people and no tenn
porary advantage is worth sacrificing these
attributes
