DISTINCTION WITHOUT A
DIFFERENCE

There is a growing aWareness that lib
erty diminisheS as the authority OF govern
ment expands. Thousands of American cltl-
Zens whose livehhOOdS are their jobs with
the business-managed investor-Owned cleo
trio industry cannot agree with the compla-
cent theorists who claims that little So
cialism" is nothing to be alarmed about
Socialism is very real and direct threat to
our political liberty 1t is being aggresSlVely
promoted in this country by ambitious Fed
eral agencies such as the Department Of the
Interior and the Rural ElectrifcatiOn Ad-
ministratiOn, using tax funds on an ever IN
creasing scale to create a government mon
OpOly in q key industry. AS the activities
and the authority of these Federal agencies
broaden, the helplessnesS of the private cit
iZen subject to their control becomes grimly
apparent. The scope of the program now
embraces the generation of electricity by
power other than that procured through ir-
rigatiOn and flood control, steam as an in
stance; the distribution of electric power
and the sale of electric power in direct COM
petition with privately owned electric utility
companies. The Rural ElectrificatiOn Ad-
ministratiOn through it's financing of coop
eratives, has proceeded to the extend of US
ing public monies supplied by the taxpayers
for the building of electric transmission lines
parallel to existing privately owned distri-
button systems. The progress Of this pro-
cedure is such as to clearly indicate COM
plete duplication of transmission facilities
in competition that can only lead to exter-
mination of private utility companies. Such
determination has been accomplished in the
State of Tennessee. In pursuing the above
policy the Rural Electrifcation Administra-
tion has lowered the quality of work stand
ards and ignored the rights of electrical
workers to bargain collectively. Under Fas-
cism, Nazism and Communism the people
work for the State. Under the policies inau-
gurated by the Rural Electrifcation Admin
istration those employed on electrical prop
critics work for the government under the
guise of cooperatives. It is a distinction
without difference.

CHRISTMAS NEARs A FARM

A farmer has a right to believe he eniovs
sort OF occupatiOnal priority at Christmas
time. A stable and manger, for instance.
are not just words or a picture to him.
hasn't he barn to serve as an imaginative
Bethlehem backdrop for the old, old story?
Hasn't he the clearest Of winter skies in
which to see a shepherds starr. And for a
Christmas tree he has only to take a sharp
ak and come back from a woodiot with q
young cedar or pine on his shoulder, its rough
branches scratching his cold ear. Even in
receiving Christmas presents, a country
mans location offers him the advantages of
Isolation, surprise and never too MANY wool
socks, whether Argyle or Ayrshire. AS for
Christmas cards, finding so much stuff in the
roadside mail box every day is a pleasant
change-for its contents are too often a na-
per and feed bill. Getting a card from Per-
sia or even Jerusalem is nothing extraordin-
airy to cosmopolitan city dweller. But on a
back road such card is something to be
studied.
In city seasonal pessimists can talk Of
a green Christmas, but the farmer has Onlv
to look out the living room window to see a
crlss-cross OF tracks in the snow. He can
listen any morning to the slap Of chains on
dawn's icy road. The only green thing there
will be about his Christmas, he thinks, will
be his home-raised cabbage and maybe a
sprig or two Of parsley from a box in the
cellar. One might as well be fancy at Christ
mas and decorate a large turkey or goose a
bit. No chain store, he considers with salts
faction, will contribute much to farmers
holiday dinner-mashed potatoes, boiled on
ions, pumpkin pie, these and other things will
be the results Of what a while back was
known as 'sustenance farming"
As for this effective kind of farming,
what might be called ''sustenance thinking
the thinking which feeds the heart and
spirit of man-fourishes on farm at Christ
mas time. In winter, it has been said, man
holds truer, Drawer beliefs than in a summer
Of soft airs and tenderer thoughts. The
Christian story, worshiped at the Christmas
season in a village church, can be to coun-
tryman as real as the good and enduring
earth, white with winter, cold under sun and
stars-but miracuously sure of April. Christ
was born in Bethlehem of Judea in land as
far off as that on a kitchen mantel And as
gifts Once came to stable and manger, so
in the name of that birth, nineteen centuries
later, gifts come to a rural mail box beside a
slippery road.

the day is behind them? If there are any
who do mean that, they do not understand
Christmas.
What is Christmas? Tt is, of course,
made up of gaily-decked trees, greens every
where, carols, stockings hung up for Santa
Claus, mysterious packages piled high - all
the customs that cluster around the story of
Jesus birth. Deeper still, it is the words the
angels sang: peace on earth, good will to-
ward men,"
Yet it is true that we seem to show, by
our feveriSh giving and cOmplacent receiving,
that we do not understand what Christmas
is. Certainly this sad old world has not ac-
cepted the Christmas message. So we must
ask again: What is Christmas?
There is broad answer. Christmas is
the expression, however imperfect, Of the
Christian conviction that men must learn to
love one another, and to love God, if they are
to bring the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.
It is at least good hope and shining aspira-
tiOn. With faith, men can in time make the
dream come true.
There is also another and more personal
answer. Christmas is time when each of
us can say openly to others, by words and
deeds, what is in his heart. 1t is time to
let love and kindness flow freely. 1t is an in
vitation we can accept if we will If we do
accept it, we will not wish for Christmas to
be @all over" Indeed it will never be "all
over" It will live on and light our way until
Christmas Eve comes again.

Gigantic Christmas trees stand, in full and

lights, are everywhere. Windows and door
ways twinkle at you, bright with festivity.

Of the towns, the bright look of each town
tinseled for Christmas. 1t is almost like go

community to community, and seeing the

is like big family in itself, Joined in com

out the homes, each with its own decora-

the eye, the town in holiday attire.

TIME TO LOOK AFTER
THE PEOPLE

The new Congress will go into
action in a short time. The bal
ance of power between the two old
parties is very close. But the indi-
cations are that neither the Repub-
licans nor the Democrats will be
bound tight to their political or
ganiZatiOns. There are tremendous
issues, and the power of both par
ties will hinge on narrow margins.
We say this because there is intel
ligent craftsmanship in both par
ties that will put the interests of
the Nation above politics. The prob
lens that confront the Administra-
tion of the United States are grave.
No one has to be told that the best
interests of America is to deal fair
ly and squarely with every branch
of industry; one reason being that
employment must be kept high.
Well find that a Government sur
plus egg buying program is likely
to dehate farm prices. Whether
that has virtues or not the fact
remains that the Congress must
support nationwide system for
agriculture. No one can tell just
what is ahead of US in that direc-
ton, but you may be sure this is
one Of the necessities of the Gov
ernment-to watch over the land
in order that it may produce for
the multitudes.
And our manufacturing institu-
tiOns must be kept going, not only
for the direct necessities of war
but to furnish employment for the
masses of our people.
There are tough times ahead, and
there is no chance for the Ameri-
can people to shrug their respOn-
sibilities.
So, we trudge along, filled with
the conviction of most of our peO-
ple determined to do the best they
know how to help get our great
country out of the mess it is il
with Russia and other Nations pro
noting more murderous wars.

Years OF Crises On
Radio December 81

One of the most vitality impor-
tant radio and television features
of this mid-century year, with ra-
dio reporters from all over the
world participating in person at
New York in a discussion Of 1.-THE
Challenge of the '5Os-Years of
Crises, - will be sponsored at the
years end by the Chevrolet deal
ers over the nation wide network
of the Columbia Broadcasting Sys-
tenn.
The program is to be for a full
hour on both radio and television.
On the CHS radio network it will
be broadcast from $3.50 p. m. to
4:3O p. m, E. S. T., Sunday, De-
ceInber 81. The CHS television net
work will carry the feature from
1870 p. m. to $3.50 p. m, E. S. T.,
on New Years Day, January /.
The show is similar to the out
standing "Mid-Century" program
which Chevrolet dealers sponsored
last New Years Day, but is to be
even more dramatic in scope and
presentation. Ten of Columbia S
best known foreign correspondents
and news analysts will be in New
York, the majority flown from their
far-fiung posts especially for the
