Forty-two boys from Alaska

have secured from many
sources a picture of rural elec-
trification which in many res
poets is not only gratifying, but
surprising. In 1884 less than i9
percent of the farmers in Ohm
had electricity and the percent
age was much lower than this in
the 18th district. Today Ohio
ranks second in the union. 99.4
percent of all rural people had
electric service by June, 1o49.
Financially the rural electrifica-
ton program has been one of the
best ever undertaken by the gov
ernment. Not only have pay
ments been made to the govern
ment when due, but on June 80,
1949, rural electrification admini-
Istration borrowers had made adj
vance payments of almost twenty
million dollars.
The rural electrification pro-
gram in the 18th district has ad-
vanced to the place where only
a few hundred farmers are with
out electricity. Service is being
extended to some every day and
certainly within the next year or
two every farmer who wants
electricity will have it. At the
present time the Ohio Power Co.
has Ills miles of rural line from
which they serve 6,805 rural Gus
toners in the 18th district. The
Marietta Electric Co. serves 2,149
rural customers in my district.
The Belmont Monroe Electric
Cooperative has 476 miles of line
in the 18th district and serves
2,184 farm homes. All power dis
tributed by this organization is

the danger of deficit-spending

IN THIS program, for the first

When ECA was set up, Senator
Vandenberg and the other Repub-

strictly on a business basis with
an organization of experienced

is under the State Department and
will build up a great organization

In the past twenty years two
things have occurred in the
United States that have been
very beneficial to farmers. One is
great improvement in the condi-
ton of rural roads and the other
in rural identification.
In the matter of rural roads,
provisions of the Ohio law are,
perhaps, the best in the United
States. In 1881 | was co-author of
a bill in the Ohio legislature to
grant permanent share of the
states gasoline tax money to the
counties, townships, and munich
palities of the state. A percent
age of this revenue is guaran-
teed for local road building au-
thoritieS which means that a con-
slant source of funds is available
for the construction and main
tenance of the township and
county road system.
From the beginning of the
program / have always supported
rural identification. BY the time
/ left Congress in 1912, three
electric cooperatives had been
organized in my district, and
every county had several hund-
red miles of electric lines in oper-
alton. In February of this year
l was able to get loan of $685.

The sweater dress is springs
newest combination outfit. A
dress of lightweight fabric such
as celanese rayon crepe or nylon,
forms a perfect background for a
matching sweater of cashmere or
nylon. The dress is complete in
itself, but for those cool summer
evenings the sweater becomes a
welcome addition.
FavoriteS for summer separates
include skirts, tube strapless
blouses and a casual jacket. Mix
them or match them. The result
is cool glamour. For an example
of refreshing summer lovelinesS
start with sleeveless blouse of
white linen, accented by a skirt
of navy linen. Add white sum-
mer jewelry, white linen opera
pumps and you are ready for any
special occasion.
If you're planning your vaca-
ton wardrobe take along one
black dress for summer evenings.
Black is the best friend of a sun
tan, looks wonderful with colors
and is good provision for late
summer.

The end of another quarter at
school is a good time to pick up
all the loose ends of your ward
robe. Some of us will be going
out to a job very shortly and the
rest will be vacationing or-pre-
pairing to return for one or both
of the summer sessions.
-
In going over what to take
home and what to throw away
the best plan is to make a list
of each item that needs to be
cleaned, repaired, put in cold
storage and so forth. If you are
going to have woolen dresses dry
cleaned, they should be stored
for the summer in a moth-proof
garment bag.
- -
All shoes that need mending in
any way should be taken en-
masse to the repairshop. You can
help the "housecleaning" by sew
ing on all missing buttons, snaps,
and torn seams in your clothes.

the wisdom of scattering American

a fair return. ....

We can help countries by specific

permanently raise to any consid-

India is contrary to common sense.
We have obtained our own stand

These policies are approximately
equivalent to new direct foreign
loans. II the government or the
Export-Import Bank has to con-
vert foreign currencies, then those
currencies are irredeemable ex-
cept as they are obligations of the
foreign government. So, also, in
