our own lives, as well as OUR
neighbor's because we are too
lazy and trif1ing to clean up.
For most of us the chance to
buy or build a home comes but
once in a lifetime. The money
and energy spent in the initial
proceedings is deserving of bet
ter care than most of us give it.
Our homes become the main
objective of our efforts, and
they should be preserved. How
fresh in many minds are the
crowded, filthy, fre-traps we left
in the city or the South. Now
that some of us have our homes,
we seem determined to help
make more slums here and pre-
serve the unpleasant memories.
These are not the dark ages
of slavery nor the depression.
Most of us have more money
now than we ever had before,
and opportunities are unlimited.
Instead of frittering away hard
earned, money on good times
and gambling, etc., some of us
should take a renewed interest
in our homes. The modern con-
veniences we have today help
make our lives more enjoyable,
but only if we work for and
deserve them.
Still more often do you hear
people complain that their chill

need cleanup campaigns. In
other neighborhoods the citizen
who keeps his own premises
clean will not tolerate a junky
yard next door. He'll even go
to the trouble of taking his
neighbor to court if he doesn't
clean up. What do we do? Or
dinarily, we will wade through
his trash and grumble to our
friends instead of telling him.
We have said before that Ne
groes have the know-how, but
lack the drive and incentive to
put across a driving, energetic,
progressive program. We are
always looking for something
for nothing. And if most of us
do something once to our homes
we expect it to last forever. Why
can't we get it through our
heads that it takes constant
working around a house to keep
it in repair? Some of our neigh
bors think one coat of paint will
last for 10 years.. The old wood
and metal boxes that some of us
keep piled roof-high around the

dren have no place to go. If
more parents would stay home
and fix up for the children, the
youth might be inclined to stay
home and have their friends in.
I know children who are posi-
lively ashamed of the places
they live in. Those responsible
ties of making the home and
diversions in the home pleasant
rests entirely with the parents.
How on earth do parents expect
children to live better lives when
they, themselves, set such hor-
rible examples?
This is not a condemnation
of the many parents and home
owners who do make conscien-
tious efforts to do something
for themselves and their famil-
les. It is meant to awaken the
slovenly, don't-care citizen from
his lethargy. The time for
grumbling and cussing your
Trustee Board for some of your
onw inefficiencies has come to
an end. The lazy Robbins citizen
must be made to realize that
his ways are numbered and that
he too has a tremendous respon-
sibility to himself, his friends,
and his community.

now supplying fifty-four percent
of the country'S rural users with
power. If the REA has done that
job in twenty years, it certainly
is a creditable record.
OF course, the REA has been
a controversial agency from the
outset, and private utility COM
panies have claimed that they
were being placed in the position
of having to compete with a Gov
eminent agency. Private industry
also said it could do the same
job REA was doing.
However, complaints from rural
folk in the 1905 were very nu-
merous, especially those which
contended that the private COM
panies yer not making haste to
bring service to rural areas where
there were few users. The REA
Immediately attacked this prob
lem by making loans to local units,
mostly farmer cooperative units,
and these units built power Sys-
TENS and erected lines, and paid
back the loans over the years. The
REA also offered financial aid
in acquiring electrical equipment.
In our opinion, it is highly
doubtful if private industry could
have attacked the problem as rap
idly as did the REA. On the other
hand, it is no doubt true that pri-
vate industry has sometimes been
hard put by competition from this
Government agency and that cleo
trio cooperativeS have sometimes
moved into areas where private
industry could and would serve
users.
The net effect to the rural con-
sumner, however, who had little
hope of getting electric power in
the near future twenty years ago
has been a good one, for the REA
program has been a spur to pri-
vate industry, and this, in addition
to REA efforts, has brought about
rapid identification to those who
were given service by the REA.

successful programs of the Roose-

cumStanceS.
Only one outside chance would
prevent the President from offer
ing for the nations top job again
next year, in our opinion. That
would be a family consideration,
such as one of health, concerning
himself or his wife. Mr.. Essen
hover recently told Washington
reporters there was no serious
problem about his wife's health,

Lifting of the requirement that
a farmer must comply with his
1855 wheat acreage allotment to
be eligible for cost-sharing under

Farmers and ranchers may now
request and earn coSt-sharing paw

of their status under the wheat
allotment program. Under the pro-
hibition just removed, farmers
who knowingly harvested wheat
IN excess of their allotted acreage
could not earn a conservation pay
