operative avoids paying taxes.
Second, the REA is trying to
perpetuate itself. 1t is estimated
that within 4 years at the out
side, electric power will have
been made available to the re-
naming 6 percent of the farms
not now served. The purpose
for which REA was created will
have been accomplished and it
should plan now for the gradual
laying off of employees and for
eventually going out of business.
But that is far from its intent.
1t is now busily engaged in
spending your tax money for un-
necessary duplicating generating
systems, and planning to step
up the tempo. That is not the
purpose for which REA was set
up. 1t is specially reprehensible
at this critical time when tax
money is so badly needed for
defense purposes.
Private industry is geared up
to carry the ball" from here on.
Nationally, the businessman
aged electric industry plans to
spend $21s billion in 1851 on
new generating equipment and
other facilities. This is part of
a SIS billion program since the
end of World War II.
Advise your Congressman to
look into this REA attempt to
prepetuate itself at your eX-
pense. - George Peck.

the construction of good roads,
the farm is no longer the isolat-
ed spot it once was. Increased
mechanization has eliminated
much of the back-breaking toll
on the farm. Farm life is now a
lot better and easier.
Making electricity available to
the agricultural areas has per-
haps been the greatest contri-
button to better living on the
farm. AS recently as 1910 less
than 2 million farms were being
serve. Today electricity is avail
able to 512 million or about "a
percent of American farms.
This great accomplishment,
which gives the United States
world leadership in the wide
spread use of electricity, was
made through the joint efforts
of privately-owned companies
and the Rural Electrification
Administration.
The privately-owned power
and light industry has invested
So billion in rural electric lines
and generating equipment to
serve directly approximately
half of these farm customers.
The companies also provide at
wholesale rates more than half
the power used by REA cooper
atives.
In 1949 the REA's supplied by
private enterprise paid an aver
age of 96 cent a kilowatt hour
for electric energy; while those
supplied by REA generating
plant paid 1.57 cents. This is
just another evidence that tax
paying private industry always
produces more cheaply than nom
tax paying government agencies.
The REA has served a useful
purpose. Born in the depression,
it created badly-needed jobs and
expedited making electric power
available to many farms. That
is very much to its credit. How
ever, it has two cardinal faults
that seem to be Inherent in all
government agencies:
First, it is a tax-evader. A
farmer cooperative must be
operated without profit. The

technique of making profits and

Now that Christmas is over
with all it's joys and sorrows.
We are again starting a New
Year. What it will bring to our

how we look at our lives. 1t is
very hard, at times to always
look on the bright side of life.
But that is most desirable. No
matter what be falls us, we can

holidays are over we should go
over all our good Wishes. We
received on cards from our
friends and read each verse
effectively. Take them down in
our hearts and minds. When
some one has wished us joy and
happiness. We can expect joy
and happiness from them, or
when we wished some one a
Happy or Properous New Year.
We should be willing and able
to help make this come to pass.
It's really wonderful to think
what could happen to every one
if the verses on those Christmas
and New Years cards would
really come to life. 1t isn't i'm
possible, but we would all have
to work at it. How beautiful our
lives could be.
We can live effectively even
with the world in the condition
it is in. We have more the
reason to live for a purpose
Time will tell how things come
out. When we get excited OF
panicky over situations it makes
them all the worse. Keep cool
and calm and trust in God as

"HITCH IN HE'LL"

I'm sitting here and thinking
Of the things ! left behind,
And I hate to put in writing
What is running through my
mind.
We have dug a million bitches
And cleaned up miles of
ground,
And a meaner place than hell
Is waiting to be found.
But there is one consolation
Gather closely while | tell,
When we die, we'll go to
Heaven
For we have done our Hitch
in He'll.
We've built a million kitchens
For cooks to stir our beans,
We've stood a million guard
duties
And cleaned million lat
rines.
When the final call is sounded
And we lay away lifes cares,
Well go to our final dress
parade
Marching up the golden stairs,
It's then We'll hear st. Peter
Greet us with a yell;
''Take a front seat soldier,
You've done your Hitch in
Hell'!

THE AMERICAN WAY
REA'S JOB NEARLY DONE

While the 29th National 4-H
Club Congress was in session in
Chicago recently, a panel of
five All kids appeared on the
"Quiz-Kids" radio program.
They were quizzed by the city
"quiz-kids." One question asked
went something like this: do
you think farm kids have a
better time than city kids?"
The concensus of opinion ex-
pressed by the All kids was
that teen-agers on the farm were
privileged far and beyond their
urban brothers and sisters.
It is safe to assume that had
this same question been asked
20 or 80 years ago, the farm

Japan MiIifarism Not Allowed by

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4.-R- U. s. Ambassador John Foster Dull les. who steered the Japanese peace treaty from it's inception, today de- fended the document against Soviet attacks.
 Tn pact is to be signed here in the next few days.
 Dulles denied flatly Russian al- legations that the treaty restores militarism in Japan. Japan has been so completely disarmed, he said, that she does not even have an ace quate coast guard or police force.
 For that reason, Dulles, said, "the US. has told Japan it is prepared to station some armed forces in Japan at Japan's request so that Japan will not be a total vacuum of power"

 Gamma globulin is the key to the west. This blood fraction has prov ed successful in preventing para lysis resulting from polio in monkeys and mice. Whether it will work on humans will be discovered here.
 Tiny, -year-old Kristine Ham, mond, cute blond and the daughter of Utah County Medical Society President Dr. Roy Hammond, yester- day became the first to receive an injection.

HARRINGTON, Wash. Sept. A. B-A helicopter crash on an aerial ambulance" flight to a mile-high Cascades ridge set major rescue operation in motion today.
 Two rescue parties took to the mountain trails east of here today one coming out with an injured forest ranger; the other going in to meet it and take over for the sec- ond lap. Four forest service men parachuted to the isolated scene late yesterday.
 The two men aboard the crashed helicOpter were able to walk away from the wreckage yesterday af- ternoon and were expected to be able to hike out with the rescue teams. The pilot was It. (jg) Charles F. Mueller of the Coast Guard. His passenger on the am- bulance flight was Dr. Howard R. Terry. Both are of Port An- geles.
 The injured forest ranger was Warren Pressentin, 35, the Suiattle district ranger.
 It was his injury late Sunday that set off the string of events in the Upper Skagit river wilderness.
 Pressentin fell through miners ridge lookout tower manhOie that had been left open by com panion. He fell about 30 feet onto rocks. He was believed to have fractured ribs, a neck in jury and possible internal injuries.
 The Coast Guard helicopter crashed in tricky winds while trying to provide medical aid and ambu- lance service for him.
