Mr.. Neeper said that the board had
several weeks ago it has

consumers, if this means of operation
is approved.
Even offering the lowest resi-

would not reduce income more
than $4,000 a year at the present

But by purchasing power whole

Water heater rates would continue

There would also be a reduction in
rural rates. Most of Bluffton's rura
customers are in REA operating ter,

Editorial
OBJECT LESSON MpEMOGRAGY
NOT LONG AGO The New York Times commented
editorially that it wished former President Harry Truman a
speedy recovery from his illness, and ended by saying that
the country needed him.
THIS is A GREAT object lesson of how democracy
really works as contrasted with the Communist approach to
life and politics. Here was a newspaper which had, and still
does, support President Eisenhower, a Republican. The same
paper had opposed the return of a Democrat to the White
House. Further, it had differed sharply with Humans econo
mic and social policies, yet today it can come out in a friend

it, must wonder at the seeming paradox of the democratic
way. How, under the sun, can the same paper which supports
a Republican President & his program, express good wishess
for a former President with whom it had differed in no I'M
certain degree?
THE ANSWER IS simple. In a democracy what matters
is the principle involved. This is a nation Of laws and not Of
men. Ii was therefore very easy for a former President to-
leave the White House, board the train for his home in In
dependence, while the President occupied that same house.
The people of the country had spoken through their ballots,
and those out Of power, obeying the new orders moved out
peaceably and with good graces.
UNDER H Communist regime there is no such thing
as a change Of government. Blood has to be spilled heads.

Dancing On the Dunes

TNIRED of the stale and confining air of
Il indoor rehearsal halls, Vera Ellen prefers
to do her dancing on the dunes. For one thing,
the fresh Pacific breezes, the California sun
shine. and the rolling contours of the hills of
sand at Santa Monica give her inspiration for
original, impromptu dances. In addition, she
finds that her fancy footwork in the shifting
sands strengthens her arches and keeps her
legs in beautiful shape. In any case she says
that sand is nicer than splinters to feel be-
tween the toes.
