this charge will be levied wheth-
er current to that value is used
or not.
This is not an isolated in
stance. 1t is part of a campaign
whose object is, for some reason
which entirely escapes me, to
standardize the consumption of
electricity on farms. Each light,
according to the Board, ought to
burn a calculated amount, and
economy on the part of the
farmers and his men, or any,
thing else that prevents each or
every light from burning its as
sessed quota, is to be deprecated
my own reactions to this pro-
position are two-fold. The first
is that, even if I could be con-
vinced that an industry required
more money from those who
! consume it's good, I would prefer
to pay more for each unit that I
really did use, instead of being
swindled by having to pay for
! something with which have rot
been supplied.
, Secondly, I fail utterly to see
how this latest system of en-
couraging extravaganza for
that, of course, is what it will
! do ties up with the entreaties
for economy which the same
Board is making and which, if
the county's plight were not so
grave, would by now be becom-
ing monotonous in their repeti-
ton"
Is it any wonder that this
Scotch farmer is not only puz-
zled but irritated? Do we want
that kind of nauseating non
sense here in what we like to be-
lieve is a free America? Well,
we already have some of it, in
fact, much too much. And we
will have plenty more if we
don't do something about it.
The planned economist, Ameri-
can style, are bound and deter
mined to have Uncle Sam take
over the entire power and light
indstry. These psuedo-social-
lists will get away with it unless
we bestir ourselves. They can be
stopped. Write your Congress
man and two United States Sen
ators to vote mo" on all legis-
lative proposals to put the Fed
eral Government further into the
manufacture and sale of electric
current.
The privately-oWned and
operated public utilities have
done and are doing magnifi-
cent job of supplying the Ameri-
can public with electricity at a
fair price. Let's keep them on
that job.-George Peck.

Rebuffed but always preserving;

Continued from 1-B,

labor members of the wage
stabilization board, Senator Full
bright of Arkansas had things
pretty much his own in a probe
of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation in charging that
some employees of executive de-
partment had used undue politi-
cal influence in getting loans for
folks back home. That is, until
the executive department came
up with the fact that RFC files
show between 700 and 900 let
ters from congressman and SEN
ators themselves, including SEN
ators Flubright and Douglas,
members of the investigating
committee doing the same thing
using their incluence, whether
undue or political or what, in
obtaining loans for their con-
stituents back home.
Now, there are some who want
the Fulbright committee to drop
the RFC probe like a hot-potato.
Anyway, the President has ask
ed for a reorganization of the
corporation, continuing it as a
separate agency and setting up
a loan policy board of five men,
bers, much like a bank director
ate, all with a single admins
traitor.
In the meantime over in the
house, in one days session, the
members adopted resolutions
providing for 100000 for a COM
mittee to study problems of small
business; $4,000 for use of the
committee on expenditures in the
executive department; 5000 for
the select committee probing the
use of chemicals in food; $4,000
for the select committee probing
alleged abuses of the CT edu-
cation and training program and
$4,000 for Investigations by the
committee on interior and in
sular affairs a total of al
most a half million dollars for
more probes.

IN MEMORY

In memory of Mrs. Mae Wheel
er, who passed away two years
ago March IL, 1949.
Peacefully sleeping, resting
at last
Earth's weary tolls and trouble
are past
She suffered in silence, in
patience she bore
Till God called her home to
suffer no more.
When evening shades are
falling
And we sit in quite alone
To our hearts there comes a
longing
If she could only come home.
Though we cannot clasp her
dear hand
And we see her dear hand
And we see her smile no
more
We will pray that God will
grant us
Rest with him when life is
DER.
Sadly missed by all,

LOSES 50 LBS.
Reducing with Kennel

Mrs. c. A. Gravier, 2028 Broadstone,
Toledo, Ohio writes: 81 heard about
Kennel through friend and decided to
try it. After using bottles I weighed
myself and found that / had lost 10
lbs. Now / have taken Kennel for 3
months and my weight has decreased
from 22O lbs. to ITO lbs. ! look better
and feel better. .Nicest of all did not
have to starve myself to lose weight"
It's amazing how quickly you can lose
unsightly fat at home. Obtain liquid
Kennel at your druggist, mix with
grapefruit juice as directed and take
two tablespoonfuls twice day. That's
all there IS to it. If you do not lose
weight with the very first bottle just
return it for your money back. You
need never know hungry moment
while reducing with Kennel.

Tuesday morning I sat in on
hearing of the Bells commit

the barber board. There were
complaints of unfair inspections
and there have been rumors of
collusion between the Barber

to get BARRIERS to join the union.
The Bells committee was set
up to investigate the various
state boards to see whether these
boards are performing the duties
for which they were established.

don't think it right that we

public and the people who live
on it and as such it should be
kept open. 1t was good road

ruined it. If anyone doubts the

Dear Sir:
In reply to Moscrip's letter in
the Journal mailbag last week,
he said there was a slight eXag-
geration about whose response
bility it is to fix our road. We
don't care who opens our road,
Bakers or Moscrips'; just so they
open it and keep it open. We feel
they are both responsible for the
condition of our road. We only
ask that they repair it as good
as it was before their bank slip
ped in on it. They also said l
failed to mention that they did
open it, which permitted traffic
to pass at all times. 1t is true
that l failed to mention it but
is not true that traffic was per-
mitted to pass at all times.
They did come and work part
of one day but it did no good.
Our road has been a mudhole
and impossible for automobiles
ever since. Except for three days
while the ground was frozen;
that has been the only time. We
don't consider that our road has
ever been open and weather con-
ditions had nothing whatever to
do with it. 1t was all caused by
the slip. The mailman has never
been able to get through. He is
ready to come when ever the
road is open.
Bakers came down last Friday
afternoon and did a little work; !;
it did no good. Automobiles could
not get through. Saturday even
ing, a pickup truck got stuck.
They tried to pull it out with a
tractor but couldn't and left it
in all night; tried to pull it out
Sunday morning with two tract
ors, couldn't. 1t was in above the
axles. Finally, they got a block
and tackle and with two tractors

Dear Sir:
Through failure of the last
Congress to renew the Fraser
Lemke Law, many farmers lost,
and Others will continue to lose
farms, because, without this law,
farmers are at a disadvantage
compared to other business.
The Fraser-Lemke Law, which
put farmers on an equal basis
with other enterprise, was made
temporary, by Wall Street op-
position, and expired last March.
Since then, it has become hard
er to get mortgage renewals.
Some have found it impossible.
The Act encouraged refinancing,
and took the profit out of fore
closure for the crooked fin
ancierS. Also, Farm Credit Adm.
was ready to lend, if others
would not, to farmers who had
lost crops or had misfortune,
through no fault of their own.
Now, no one will loan to them,
until the law is renewed.
Senate Bill 25, or H.R. 1745,
either, will renew this law. Your
letters, kilograms or even penny
postal cards, with your name
and address, and letting the Con-
gressmen and Senators know
how you feel, may save your
own or friends place, if sent
now.
Later may be too late.
Yours truly,

Books to Further
Appreciation of Art
When art was in the service of
community or state or church or
royalty or some other established
or ruling body, it was more easily
understood and enjoyed than has
been the case in the past rs years
when art has been ''on its own"
in sense and there is no end to
new departures, Consequently,
books which point the way to
understanding, leading thence to
enjoyment. are welcome. Art Has
