GROWTH NOTED IN FIVE YEARS
1 nave completed
nve con-
1
rinuous years of publication— n\C years which have seen
this community rise from practical obscurity to promi-
enee
to a modern city although
still un incorporated. ( hanges have been too many to
enumerate in this column in less than a dozen issues.
In this growth the Pilot has noted stability, continued
and positive growth which gives the resident a feeling
of confidence ami securiu in the future.
Greatest item of growth in the cominunitv, the Pilot
finds, is the erow th of nivmlk
rizón. Almost dailv people
isn't opportunity in other
plcoplc proud to be one of the many who enjoy livim
where the future seems assured.

Am intrigued by announce
ment of formation of 4-H elec
tric clubs, by Miss Dorothy New
ton, HDA, who wishes to see a
number of this type of clubs at
work shortly. Would like, very
much to see this area represent
ed by at least one club soon. As
Miss Newton stated, real trag
edy might be averted by knowl
edge of the basic electrical prin
ciples. There are a number of
qualified instructors in this area
who would enjoy doing this job
at not too great a demand on
their time.
4-H Clubs do great work, all
by public spirited citizens who
gain not one cent for their time
and labor. These clubs have been
instrumental, right in Curry
County, of developing many out
standing citizens whose fame is
nation-wide. Over-emphasis for
k-H club work t« impossible. The
extent of the success rests upon
the leaders of the county. In the
past it seems that this work has
been extraordinary.
Did you note, in another 4-H
story in this issue, that eight
clubs are functioning in this im
mediate area. These clubs are
doing great work with the boys
and girls, who should be given
more opportunities to widen the
scope of training. Busy young
sters are happy youngsters, and
later become useful men and
women.
I'd like very much to see what
the range of training could be
extended to in this area. Not
being primarily a dairy section,
there's no great call for club in
that line, any more than say
one of two. to accommodate the
of the community. It

would be fooling to attempt clubs
where there i.s no particular lo
cal interest.
KCRE, radio station of the Del
Norte B roa dc astin g Co., ready to
go on to the air in December, is
still awaiting okay from Feder-
al Communicat 10ns Commission.
Bob Gray, manager,
almost
tit to be sent to one of those
places where they treat people
for nervous breakdowns. Bob is
not
the most pleasant
person in the world today.
Govt rmt nt regulations a n d
red tape are something to rec
kon uith. Once I sent for appli
cation forms with idea of incor-
porat ¡n g a ludio station. Whilt
that was sonu years ago, then I
found that the application had
to be made out in at least sex-
tette, and all the information in
addition discouraged me immed
iately. Suddenly lost interest in
starting a station. Know just
about what Bob Gray is endur
ing at présent.
There was once a time when
life was simple, when a person
could plan a business or life in
his own peculiar way. Today is
a different age. Today, there are
government restrictions to too
many business, where the busi
ness must become a part of the i
bureaucracy which seems to be
our federal government. Attempt
has often been made to muffle
the free press of America.
Free press has been an insti
tution as long as America has
been a Ration. The press, pe-
cularily but truly, has remained
mostly untainted. so that the I
public may be assured pretty ac- 1
curate coverage of news. Per-|
haps certain papers color news
politically a bit, but in the main
newspaper \accounts are accurate
to the word. Radio stations, how
ever, come under a gag rule and
many more regulations than do
newspapers.
