PRIVATE ENTERPRISES
RECORD

Those who have been taken il
by propaganda to the effect tina
the future of electric power de
velOpment lies in the hands of tn
government should read a brie
report on what the private utilize
did last year, written by Ernest R
Acker, president of the Edison Elec
trio Institute. Here are some O.
the high spots.
In 1948, the induStry-Which must
use its own money, not tax money
installed an unprecedented amount
of new generating capacity, topping
all previous records
The production of power, By all
of the nations generating sources
also reached new high, SURPRISING
the previous record, made in 1947,
by nine per cent.
A third record was set in the
matter of new customers. More
than 100000 were added in 1913,
TO bring the grand total to 4O,8O0,-
600.
The report also contains some
very interesting information on the
availability of electric service. At
present "a per cent of all dwellings
in the United States take service,
and 3 per cent more could have it
if they wanted it. And the average
consumption of electricity by house
holders has gone on to new high
after new high.
How about the farmer? Some rs
per cent of all our farms are now
taking service, and IL per cent more
are within a quarter-mile of power
lines. 1t is estimated that by the
end of 1851, SO per cent of farus
will either receive service or have
it available nearby
Free enterprise can do any Job
we give to it-and do it swiftly,
efficiently and economically, with
out taking tax funds from the pub
lie treasury. In this connection, it
should be noted that the worst
shortages of electricity have occur
red in regions where socialized pow
er has discouraged private develop
ment-such as the Pacific North
west.

ROSE ROBINSON

Friends were deeply shocked by
the death on Dec. "a of Mrs. Rose
Robinson, TAI E. 1st, age 64, when
she apparently collapsed over an
electric heater and was burned.
She came to Tucson from Chi
cago about 6 years ago and was
shortly joined by her husband,
Harry Robinson, who passed away
2 years ago. Mrs. Robinson had
been an ardent Mizrachi worker
in Chicago and was active in Pho
neer Women, and was also a men,
Der of Sisterhood Anshei Israel
and Young Israel. She was gen.
erous in private philanthropy.
Only a few hours before her
death she talked over the phone
with her good friend, Mrs. Paul
inc Rosenbaum, N. Campbell, and
seemed in good spirits.
She is survived by four sons by
a first marriage, all living in Chi
cago, Abe, Harry Nathan, and
Ben Shapiro. The body was
shipped to Chicago and burial
services were held there Dec. %.

The evening ended with an early
morning breakfast at which Rita
GoldStein played hostess before
her departure for Denver. Seen
there enjoying lox and bagels
were Bill Feuerstein, Gil Ep-
stein, Sandra Stern, Ken Fens-
ter, Stan Greenberg, Bob Shat
ton.
Topping off the vacation, was
the B.B.G. skating party and So
cial. The girls and boys met at
Chuck's and unless my eyes were
deceiving me, many of the girls
were hobbling around before the
evening was very old. We will
try and see to it, in the future,
that the new rinks have pillows
(ahem) to ease those nasty spills.
Visiting here for the New
Years weekend from Phoenix,
were Janice Crafts, Rozara Sha-
piro and Bernice IZenstein. To
help make their stay here a
pleasant one, and which turned
out to be a Dream of Dreams ac-
cording to the girls, were Pauline
Tannebaum, Zita Lesson, Sid
Katz, Edgar Pearlman, Ray Alex
andre, Art Remazon, Mickey

Irregardless of the fact that
holiday vacation is over, we still
hang on to some wonderful men,
orieS of grand parties in a mad
whirl and dates, which all of US
had during these two marvellous
weeks.
The Tuc-Hi dance started off
the gay festivities.
Last week Arlene Brooks house
was overflowing with merry
makers. Among the many there,
we saw Sandy Weisman, Marcia
Kosta, Zeke Regen, Phyllis Kro-
tenberg, Lenore Levy Louie
Tannebaum.
A round of parties were held
on New Years eve. Joan and Sid
Hirsch had large crowd at their
home, which included Howie
Starr, Joyce Abelson, Joan Lich-
tenstein, Sam Berman.
Deedee Sonenblick also gave a
very lively party at Desert Lodge.

The Ladies
By DORIS MINDELL

This one time I should like to
digress from my favorite topic
and address the column to both
men and women readers to bring
your attention to a situation
which prevails in our fair city
and which can develop into a
serious problem unless we at
tempt to remedy it.
Many residents have come to
Tucson for health reasons. This
succor they have found, thanks
to our wonderful climate, only
to find they are suffering from
a new ailment-social stagnation,
or to put it more plainly, loneli-
ness. / see it on all sides of me,
in people of all ages. I'm sure
you have seen the same bewil-
dered look on faces and heard the
same query, How do I meet peo-
ple?"
Many of us hail from large cit
les rich in entertainment re-
sources, both social and cultural.
If companionship is lacking, some
diversion can be resorted to in
order to combat loneliness. Here,
however, the stress of necessity
must be placed on companionship
and congeniality. What are we
going to do about the many per-
sons starving for companionship?
You say there are numerous
organizations that newcomers
may join and participate in. 1 say
that is not enough. They do not
establish a personal relationship
you may meet many people but
not truly know anyone. It's diff
ficult adjustment to make, that of
being uprooted from a whole way
of life and find oneself in strange
surroundings and amongst
strange faces. These too are ''dis-
placed persons" and must be as
sisted, not financially but spiri-
tually through friendship.
We stand in danger of losing
people who are assets to our COM
munity unless we provide the
proper mental and social stimula-
ton. What do the readers sug-
gest? I'd appreciate hearing your
ideas. Finally, let me say that we
must help combat loneliness,
scourge of the spirit, just as we
help in the fight against dread
diseases of the body

Their equipment includes a tract
or, a truck, a peanut picker, a
corn shelter, a corn crusher, a
manure spreader, moving machine,
wood saw, and busting machine.
Mr.. Roberts takes good care of
his machinery and Of his land, too,
especially the acres devoted to
corn, peanuts, and hog ranges. Last
year, he applied Is tons of lime
to his ranges and other cropland.
Also, he planted clover crops.
The 'Robertses know that by con-
serving their soil, they will be able
to pass it along to their seven
children in a highly productive
state. They know, too, that good
soil practices produce better crops
and butter hogs for Smithfield
hams.
They not only lean on their farm
and home agents for technical adj
vice which will help them do a
better job Of farming and of liv-
ing, but they also carry out dem
onstrations projects which benefit
both them and their neighbors.
Last year, the farm and home
agents, Woodrow Odom, and Mrs.
Clarice Pretlow, conducted a tour
of their farm for the farmers
Of Isle Wight county. Families
from as far as 20 miles away
came to see how the Robertses
operated their farm and their
home.

WASHINGTON, D. c. (ANP)-
When Smithfield, Va, boasts of it's
delicious hams, a good many Vir-
GINA colored farmers take pride
in that boast, because they supply
some of the hogs from which the
hams are cured.
Take Mr.. and Mrs. John w.
Roberts of Sandy Mount, Va, they
sell over 100 hogs every year to
Smithfield packers. Some years,
they crossed as much as $4,000
off hogs and peanuts.
Hogs, corn, and peanuts have
been the main crop of the Robert
SEES ever since they married and
got started in farming in 1917. Mr..
Roberts recalls that he had only
$3.50 left after he paid for the
marriage license.
They started out as tenants on
40 acres, but by producing the
kind of hogs which brought a
good price, Mr.. and Mrs. Roberts
soon had enough to make the
down payment on IS acres. Within
two years, they had paid for the
land, and bargained to buy 1876
acres more.
Today, they own a 250-acre
modern farm on which they raise
annually, $50 hogs, $500 bushels
of corn, 1000 bushels of peanuts,
and 800 chickens. Also, they have
a fourth-acre garden. and three

these persons, there have not been

According to police, the job
might have been an inside one,
since the two robbers knew that
the money was there, where the
porter was at the time and the
existence of a seldom-used rear
exit.
The incident occurred between
9 and 9:1O in the morning. The
two came into the place through
the front door, went into the base
ment where they attacked Bob
Sheerfield, the porter. After giving
him a going over and tying him
up, they went upstairs to the Of

Liddle at gunpoint to open a
special combination vault. From
this, they removed the money.
After debating a few minutes
whether to take Miss Liddie with
them and debating whether to
split the haul with her, the duet
tied her up and left the Savoy
by the rear entrance. They threw
one box of the money into the

Even A Truck Cont Stop Riehord

Richard Horton, young son of Mrs. Alice Horton of Palmer, miraculously escaped serious in jury when apparently run over by a loaded truck last week.
 No one, least of all Richard, is exactly sure what happened. Richard, with two other children, had been playing about truck driven by Roland Snodgrass, which was loading hay in the John Bugge field. The children had been warned away from the truck, but Richard returned to run beneath the load of hay, clingihg to the truck.
 MT. Snodgrass was startled by a loud scream and turned an in stant later to see Richard run from beneath the load and col lapse on the ground. Marks on the boys body indicated that the trucks dual tires had passed en- tirely over his torso.
 Later examination by doctor at Valley Hospital apparently bore out the testimony of the tire marks. However, Richard was uninjured, except for severe bruises, although the hay load alone was estimated at almost 1000 pounds.
 Richard was dismissed from the hospital in short time, ap- parently none the worse for the accident, except for sore muscles.
