A group or an in- dividual can accept the company s slowly softening terms about sub- sidizing construction costs. The REA is a cooperative group organized to diapenae electrictiy. It borrows its money from the eovernment at low interest rates. It has been an economical source of power in many places. Its fu- ture is probably closely allied with the future of all coopetatives.

Oregon has 77 percent of • it? farms electrified from a central source. The average in the Unit ed States is 42. Tennessee, where the TVA operates, has 24.9 per cent. Cost of electricity in Ore gon is higher than on some of the more famed systems but gen- . , erally is ¡much lower than the av J Ti . . . erage. It is being reduced rapidly by private industry. If a user of electricity expects low rates he will choose well by getting on aline that is well pop ulated—where there are many customers close together. Lines will be greatly lengthened after the war. Every company and the government agencies are planning on that. Soon everyone will have current at the push of a button.

VE Day of 1945 was the second within the memory <rf many com paratively young persons. It narks the end of the second inva- sicn of Europe by American troops. It was a successful inva- sion in both wars if success is to be counted by vanquished enem les. The first was highly unmic- r essful in aiding international P<ace. It may still be hoped that this one will have better results.
