HUNGRY HORSE POWER PLANT BRINGS REVENUE
OF 81, 800, 259, in One Year

Secretary of the Interior Mckay
announced recently that revenue from
Reclamation Bureau hydroelectric
plants in western states totaled $780,
$4,000 in the year ended June 80.
This was the first time revenue
from reclamation power sales had
topped so million dollars in a year.
The total compared with $44,963, 079
received in the year ended June 30,
1853.
Reclamation Commissioner W. A.
Dexheimer said in a statement the
revenue increase was attained despite
a net decrease in kilowatt hours sold.
He added this was largely attributable
to the first full year of operation by
the Hungry Horse power plant in
Western Montana.
The Hungry Horse plant, part of
the Columbia River Basin system,
produced 685,023 kilowatt-hours for
sales during the year and it brought
$4,3OO,259.
Dexheimer said the storage pro-
vided at Hungry Horse also aided

Cornucopio Waffle

There are few things more natively
American than the ice cream cone. This
hallmark Of the carnival spirit got its start
80 years ago in the carnival atmosphere Of
the midway at the Worlds Fair in st. Louis.
It was child of necessity; made up hastily
because a concessionaire ran out Of dishes
on which to serve ice cream. For as long as
most Of us can remember, stacks OF inverted
cones have been familiar part Of the soda
fountain at the American drugstore.
But as the cone makers celebrate the
golden anniversary of their product, they
remind us that the first cones were FASH

an ice cream vender ran out of dishes, Mr..
Hamwi rolled one of his waffles into cor

It made the perfect receptacle.

This and That

Young people need no advice about

there. They peel, and finally tan, and
that is that.
They may suffer bit. at first, but
not much, and in few days or weeks
have q glorious epidermis, the pride Of
themselves and friends.
Older persons are otherwise.
Although they need the benefits Of
fresh air and sunshine as much as
their juniors. In many instances, they
face real dangers unless they are care
full.
Nothing is sillier than an old fool.
This has been said millions Of times
over the ages. and 1t applies with Pc
culiar force to the oldsterS who step out
In the summertime.

Two Significant Events

Two very significant events have
occurred recently which, though related
to aspects of life far apart in time and
place, are yet brought into juxtaposi-
ton through an interesting affinity.
One event was, Of course, the Supreme
Court decision outlawing segregation
in the public schools, decision that
was wholly conSonant with democratic
practices and our constitutional re-
quirements. The other was the dis
coveries Of the many magnificent arti-
facts Of antiquity in the pyramid Of

strengthen the claim that the ancestors
Of the Negro have had glorious civiliza-
tions In what is now widely regarded
as the cradle of civilization" They
further emphasize the fact that all
peoples are culturally related and that
skin color is inconsequential In the
total history Of mankind.
Much Of the misunderstanding re-
garding race and culture stems from an
abject ignorance Of these fields on the
part Of many peoples. Certainly, basic
courses Of study In the fields Of anthro-
pology. sociology and other related
areas could do much, II they embraced

Disuqrees With Brown

It is difficult to let pass without some
rebuttal Constantine Browns statement
July In which he says. referring to
the Korean War. "Our British and
French associates in that campaign
pushed us into an armistice which
settled exactly nothing"
Everybody knows that General Eisen-'
hover. during his political campaign,
declared he would fly to Korea. His OBJ
jective was stated to be to stop the
war. Mr.. Eisenhower took the trip
to Korea and was elected President.
Are we to believe now that he had
nothing to do with this armistice? The
Republican administration was pushed,
if anybody was, into exactly nothing"
The fact still remains. despite Mr..
Browns attitude toward the State De-
partment's conduct under Mr.. Acheson,
that the French and British did not
and never could succeed in pushing the
Truman administration into such
posture.
It would be more accurate reporting
II Mr.. Brown put the blame for this
failure where 1t belongs.

On July IA, the Ground Observer

But plans were quickly formulated
for more thorough training, for backing

forces, plans for possible exodus from
cities, mass excavations.
These are yet In the stage Of prep

one Of us to find out about them.
