Flathead Coop Reports
Power Use Up,
Rates Reduced

Power sales by Flathead Electric
Coop in 1857 increased 16 per cent,
while average rates paid by members
decreased 4.8 per cent, according to
J. M. Garrison, Coop manager. Mean
while labor and material costs have
increased.
He commented: "Flathead Electric
Cooperative is owned by the people
of Flathead county. 1t is dedicated to
the economic and social development
of the area. Any benefits accruing to
the Flathead Electric Cooperative, in
turn, help the community as whole"
Garrison said that the Coop is
planning to build a new substation
near Hungry Horse to meet the antici-
pated increase in loads in that thriv-
ing community. He added: "It is antic-
ipated that many new people will
settle around Hungry Horse because
of the many advantages available, in
Guiding low cost, available and re-
liable power made available by con-
struction of the Hungry Horse DAM"
Garrison said that SO patrons served
by the coop have added electric heat
in the past six months, and added that
the co-op's rates are about 33 per
cent under the national average, and
that transformers and other facilities
are adequate for such increased power
use.
Scheduled for March is meeting
of coop members at the park confer
ence hall, West Glacier. Similar meet
ngs to discuss group business are
being held over the country.-HUN-

still has no widespread fame. The
author, Charles Horton Cooley. was
one of Americas distinguished So
biologists. He wrote distinguished
prose, for sociologist, even in his
textbooks. He himself remarked about
textbooks: "The Dark Ages, it seems,
was time when people read text
books and thought they were litera-
ture.'
The University of Michigan, where
Cooley taught for many years, was
big institution even in 1927. He knew
the university life well and the mid
western life round about. far and
wide, and wrote about it all at the
end of his life with fine point and
clarity and good humor in this small
book.
There is kind of prophetic value

History of Communism
Is One of Oppression
The Peoples Voice:

ire IeOple s voice.
| get so fed up of reading Mr.. Maury's
letters in your paper praising Russia
and criticiZing our country that I think
it is time for some comments on the
other side of the picture
The history of Communism has been
a continual round of oppression, deceit
and domination by force in their own
country and also other countries in
which they have been able to use their
influence to have people accept their
type of government which apparently
makes the people slaves of the state.
After the war they claimed they
wanted no more territory only, security
but their record since then has been
one of domination of any country that
they have been able to get in their
power.
1t is true our foreign policy leaves
much to be desired but few people
would deny that we have been trying
TO keep the peace and all the money
and effort We have spent toward that
goal should be proof enough.
We have the right to think, speak
write and worship as we please and
still have ample opportunity to make a
decent living in spite of a few people
in our government that would turn
over some of our most valuable re-
sources to big business instead of saw
ing them for the people where they
belong, but we have the right to vote
them out of office when the majority
of the people choose to do so.
L am plenty satisfied here where
we still have our freedom. The only
reason that our country is not better
is because not enough people take an
interest in trying to make it better
