current. A group might build
their own line, as did the men at
Locust Grove. 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.
REAs probably can extend far-
ther in non-productive country
than can private industry, but n>
source of power that remains sol-
vent“ can serve all isolated ..farms

up the extra transmission cost
PUDs are generally formed in

from a central source.
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

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.
There will be greater satisfaction

The day of victory m Germany
has come and as quietly gone as
if it had been a country Sunday,
After the months of hoping that
victory might be achieved, the
weeks of breathless news about
new conquests and the days of ex-
pectancy about immediate surren-
der, the news of final German
collapse came to an America jad-

be counted by vanquished enem

this one will have better results.
