SENATE AGRICUL TURE COMMITTEE GETS
Favorable REPORT ON R. {. A. FORMULA

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(NRECA)
The Senate Agriculture subcom
mittee favorably reported the Thys
bill to amend the Rural Electrificatior
Act of 1886, eliminating state allot
ment formula, but first amended il
to retain the annual survey of I'M
electrified farms.
The subcommittee, which conduct
ed hearings on eliminating the for
mula, reported to the full Agriculture
Committee: "The bill introduced by
Sen. Edward Thye of Minnesota) has
the approval of the National Rural
Electric Cooperative Association, the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
the National Farmers Union, the Co.
operative League of the USA, and the
National Grange, as we'll as the De-
partment of Agriculture.
"The first four of these organiza-
lions, however, recommend that the
bill be amended to retain the annual
unelectrified farms survey. The sub
committee believes that this survey,
apart from its use in allotment for

both in carrying out the purpose of
the act and otherwise. The cost of
the survey is about $4,000 annually
and your subcommittee recommends
its retention"
Members of the subcommittee in
cluded Senator Hubert Humphrey
(Minn.), who was chairman, Senator
Karl Mundt IS. d. and Senator Kerr
Scott IN. CO..
The state allotment formula re-
quires that 500 of the annual funds
available to REA be allotted to states
on the basis of the number of unelec-
trified farms, but not more than 1917
of the remaining 500 can be allotted
to any one state.
The subcommittee report said
This formula has proven unsatisfac-
tory in recent years due to the large
of farms now electrified
and the demands for further service
for electrification systems already in
operation"

senate APPROVES REA LOAN FUNDS,
BOOSTS RESEARCH FUNDS

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(NRECA)
The Agricultural Appropriations
bill for fiscal 1856 was passed by the
Senate last month without change in
REA and RITA loan authorizations.
The Senate accepted the House fig
ures which gave REA $160 million in
regular loan funds and 500 million
in contingency loan funds.
This was less than the requests
of rural electric leaders who had
asked for $3.50 million in loan funds
and 5000 million to $500 million for
contingency in the event the REA
formula is not repealed. However,
the contingency funds authorized rep
resents sos million increase over the
Bureau of Budgets request.
Rural telephone funds also re-
manned unchanged from the House
figure of SIS million for regular
loan funds, falling short of $125 mil
lion regular loan funds requested by
rural telephone leaders. The Bureau
of Budget requested only $40 million.
The Senate also voted to boost the
total Agricultural appropriations by
$1,000,000, $4,000 of which is to

nous in urging the outright elimina-
ton of the allotment formula. They
were also of the unanimous opinion
that the annual survey of unelectri-
fled farms should be retained with
the exception of REA, who felt that
the annual survey should be elimi-
mated.
During the House hearings Rep.
Clifford Hope (Kan.) suggested that
the annual survey of unelectrified
farms be combined with the annual
survey of borrowers needs that REA
initiated during the past year.
There are other bills, in addition
to Thye's bill, before each House of
Congress that would provide for the
elimination of the formula, but re-
tain the annual survey of unelectri-
fled farms.

Bigness in industry
is here to stuys

Grain marketing is a big industry. Each year,
American farmers raise and sell over billion
bushels of wheat and corn, and hundreds of
millions of bushels of flax, oats, soy beans,
rye and other grains. Buying, shipping, stor-
ing and selling this grain requires big and
complex organizations
A coop serving in this industry must be
big too. To do the job, millions of farmers
have pooled their resources to own and oper-
ate necessary grain handling facilities from
small country elevators to great terminals.
Through their coop organizations, those
farmers who raise the grain own and control
it from the field to the market. Through this
control they assure themselves of the best
service and the best price possible.

Interiors With Ideas
River View Emphasized
By Homes Arrangement

When you have a home with
a beautiful view, you should plan
the arrangement of your house
to take advantage of this view.
This is what Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest
L. Smith, who have so acres over
looking the Potomac river on
River Road, believe.
So when the Smiths bought the
place three years ago, Mrs. Smith,
an amateur artist with a good
eye for color, planned the lay
out of the rooms to take full adj
vantage of the 50-mile view.
This wasn't as easy as it
sounds, because at the time of
the move Mrs. Smith was in the
hospital with broken hip. She
had only seen the house three
times, and her husband, an attor
ney and a builder, was adding
two wings and making other
changes to the original house. He
brought a set of the blueprints
to the hospital, and she worked
from them.
The house has large living

.Thanksgiving's
Goodies Found
AT Farm Market

Something old, something new!
Looking for new treat to serve
with the traditional turkey at
your Thanksgiving dinner? Gran
berry baked banana may be just
the dish.
For this relish, you will need
four firm bananas (use all-yelloW
or slightly green tipped bananas
which are less sweet and will stay
firm during cooking), IL table
spoons butter or margarine, melt
I'd, q cup hot cranberry sauce,
salt.
Peel bananas. Place into a

he cranberry sauce over the ba-
nanas. Bake in a moderate oven

until the bananas are tender
easily pierced with a fork. Serve
hot. Yield: four servings.
Also in the traditional spirit of
Thanksgiving was the Diplomats
Day, celebrated last Wednesday
at the Montgomery Farm Wom-
ems Cooperative Market at Use
Wisconsin Avenue, Bethesda.
Representatives from foreign
governments stationed in Wash.
ington were invited to catch a
glimpse of the real spirit of the
first Thanksgiving, "a deep graft
tude for a good year in a good
country. Turkeys, cranberry
sauce, pumpkin and mince pies
and all the things connected with
Thanksgiving were there in great
abundance, according to Mrs. Will

room, with French doors that
show off the view. Mrs. Smith
sold the formal furniture she had
in her Chevy Chase home, and
did the living room in soft in
formal pieces with chintZ slip.
covers. A long sofa faces the
back.
This room centers around a
large fireplace with white man
tel. Next to it is a spinning
wheel, which Mrs. Smith uses to
spin wool from her flock of prize
winning Hampshire sheep.
A sun room next to the living
room faces the view, and converts
to a screened porch in the sum-
mer. The lady of the house had
it painted white, and put in white
furniture covered with dark green
plastic The walls are adorned
with African and Caribbean han
diwork - a wooden yoke for OK
en-, two wall planters made from
ivory tusks, wooden god-masks,
and strings of beads from JAM
aica.
A similar wooden mask, a copy
of an African original of the god
of agriculture, hangs in the lib
rary. The library is a small,
warm room, furnished with early
American pieces like the rest of
the house.
When they bought the house,
Mrs. Smith designed built-in
shelves of pine to line its walls,
and Mr.. Smith installed a bay
window to take further advan-
tage of the view. Next to the
window is a guest bed which dou-
bles as an informal sofa.
The Smiths are now in the pro-
cess of finishing large flagstone
terrace behind the living room,
which overlooks the river and the
falls. To shade the terrace and
the living room from the sum-
mer sun, Mrs. Smith came up
with the idea of installing a vine
arbor over the half of the terrace
next to the house, instead of an
awning.
The trellis for the vine is made
of aluminium, so that the vines
won't have to be moved for peri
odic painting of wooden supports.
In the summer, the thick foil
age will form a shade giving roof,
and in the winter the bare strands
will let the sun into the house.
Throughout the house, little fin
ishing touches remind visitors of
the Smiths interest in their farm
and their horses. Light switches,
for instance, are outlined with
iron plates, with cutout figures of
farm animals and jumping horses
on them.
Riding boots, whips, and fox
tails belonging TO the Smiths and
their three children stand in cor
ners and hang on walls.

tools, and false fireplaces. In adj
dition, the two oWners-Walter
Bazer and Herbert Houser-Will
build screens for out-size fire
places, and design custom fire
accessories.
The idea behind the shop is to
provide a place where people can
find a large selection of fireplace
accessories, instead of having to
run from store to store looking
for what they want. They also
have a small line of nice gift
items, and in the spring are going
to stock up on all types of outdoor
barbecue and grilling tools.

Cleaner. He swore that it would
clean anything and everything,

Brother Vic, of delicatessen
