RATES FOR ELECTRICAL ENERGYTOO HIGH

RATES Q ELECTRICAL ENERGY O / C.
TO THOSE CITIZENS who use electrical power in
large amounts, the present rates are presenting a pro-
Diem which may be extremely serious. In the first place,
the high cost of electrical power also creates high cost
OF those materials or products which come about by the
use OF electricity. Then, there is the utterly discomfort
ing thought that small businesses which must use cleo
tricity may find it impossible to continue in business. The
result of such circumstances will be that the power which
was supposed to have helped citizens is the one which
is their undoing.
TISOUR HONEST belief that there is a way open
whereby electrical energy may be sold to citizens at a
more economical rate, yet leaving the Power Authority
with a fair margin of profit. Presently, rates are ID cents
per kilowatt hour for lighting purposes, and also for power.
Both of these are too high. 1t would seem as if a wav
could be found to reduce both Of these, and particularly the
rate for power. In this respect we speak from firsthand
experience since in the printing business, and with modern
machinery, we rely entirely upon electrical power to run
all our machines.
AT PRESENT A large number of families use cleo
trcity in their homes for lighting purposes, and today
a considerable number Of homes use power for irons, coasters,
refrigerators, & even for cooking. With this increased amount
OF current being consumed, there should long before this
time have been ways found to reduce the cost common
surately. That is the significance of volume consumption,
and it should not be necessary for us to 60 into detail here
as to how this operates. Once the initial costs have been
met, the increase in volume should bring down the cost in
direct proportion, one to the other.
AT THIS STAGE of the situation it may be well
it the Power Authority seriously re-examine its production
methods, check on efficiency of both operation and personnel
in order to determine whether the public is getting the bene-
fit OF a system well run. THE AVIS was among the pioneers
in a struggle to have the benefits of alternating current come
to the people of this island, and at the same time with lower

by responsible parties convinc-
ing us that this could be done,
and that at no sacrifice what
ever, but with a fair return to
the enterprise. However, the
fact that rates have not been
reduced to the advantage of
the consumer is by no means
proof that it should not and
cannot be done.
1T SHOULD be noted that
in approaching the matter we
take a very conciliatory atti-
tude, and a reasonable one,
asking that a study be made
to determine what can be
done. AS a public utility the
Power Authority owes that
much to the public, and, after
having made such a study to
release figures brought out
through this study. That we
believe is the manner in which
this should be done. Such a
method will be of considerable
value in helping the public to
understand the conditions sur
rounding the production and
distribution Of electrical ener-
gy. We would think it unfair
at this time to launch a sus-
tanned, full scale attack with

ritys attention to a situation

The Air Force has been think
ing seriously about the POSSIBLE
ties of flights to other planets.
The Army doctor in charge of
medical studies to solve the prob
lem of the effects on the human
body says, I'm spite of scoffers,
space flight is nearly here, and
we've got to be ready for it." Ten
or fifteen thousand miles up,
where space begins, some of the
things that happen would seem
to come out of the comic strips.
For example, in space there is
no gravity and the slightest
touch will cause person to rise
and float in the air. Coffee can
not be drunk from cup because
when the cup is lowered the
coffee will stay in the air, and
when the cup is raised to the lips
the coffee will keep on going into

Every man who becomes a
father should receive a bonus of
one weeks paid vacation. One
union is bargaining for such a
condition in its contract. Perhaps
vacation" is not quite the right
word because any man who has
to stay at home the first week
beginning with the time his wife
comes home from the hospital is
going to find that it's big relief
to get back to his regular job.
The women may favor this idea
of vacation more than the man.

Sometimes the most simple in
ventions have the most amazing
results. A new and obviously
simple idea will : triple the dis
lance which airplanes can fly on
the same fuel. AS a plane flies
through the air, a hard wall of
air builds up in front of the
leading edges of the wings and
the plane must force itself into
I lis tightly compressed air.
Northrop Aircraft has developed
the idea of drawing this bother
some air into the wing and
pushing it out the back like jet.
The air, instead of holding the
plane back, gives it a push for
ward, and in the case of the BAG,
engineers say that the operating
range of the plane will be tripled.

In few weeks it will be eX-
actly ten vars since the Nazis
marched into Poland and World
War ii began. Now, after ten
years, Poland is probably worse
off than if the rest of the world
had left it to the mercy of the
Nazis. A new book called IAN
Army in Exile" tells something
of the crushing and bitter years
this has been for Poland The
author, General Anders of the
Polish Army, tells of how he
pleaded with Stain to release
more than a million and a half
Polish soldiers who "are dying
under the most frightful condi-
tons" and how Stain with his
eyes "black, cold and dull'' pre-
tended not to know anything
about any such atrocities. An
ders also makes the interesting
observation that Molotov acts
like Turnkey around Stain,
jumping to light his cigarette
and picking up the papers drop
ped to the floor. England went
to war to save Poland from tyran-
ny and the United States joined
the war with the same ideals, but
history has made a cruel joke of
the cause for the beginning of
World War II, and Poland be-
hind the Iron Curtain is in the
clutches of an even worse
tyranny. ~
