I r Heavy Towing And] 1| Wrecker Serviceli I CLYDE N. CATON GARAGE EVERY FIRE IS AN AXIS FIREL REGIMENTATION and BUREAUCRACY Vs. FREEDOM and INDUSTRIAL INITIATIVE There was big new* just a few weeks back—news of one of the most devastating raids ever car ried out by the gallant RAF against Germany. You remember it, sure. The giant Moehne dam and the great Eder dam blasted and breached by explosive mines, laid by low flying British planes. It was a staggering blow, The country for miles around was flooded. But more than that— and here’s the main point—the raid crippled the electric power output of many a Nazi generat ing station. Aircraft and locomo tive factories ceased to function. For when a power station is blitzed, it’s like cutting a main artery. Machines stand idle, as sembly lines stop. But bombing aside, there’s a big—and fun damental — difference between the way power is produced in Germany and America! ------------o------------ SPEAKER FROM BURMA In Germany, electric power is produced under the same totali tarian system of bureaucracy that runs everything—that tells you what to do, what to say, what to think. In America, electric power is produced under the traditions of free business opportunity and individual initiative, where men, working in freedom, can put into practice the rules of common sense business management. Mrs. Victoria Crow of Grants Pas* spoke last week at an as- sembly of students in the South. ern Oregon College of Education on the subject of Burma, where •he was stationed seven years as teacher in mission work under the British regime. Rhe discussed the Burmese standard of living, their customs and language, and in terpreted their attitude toward the Japanese. Mrs Crow, a graduate of the University of Oregon, is a student this summer in the education de partment of the Southern Oregon College. See us now for Automobile Liability Insurance. Mm. M. T. Bum»—on the Plaza. There you have it: Regimenta tion and bureaucracy, versus freedom and individual initia tive. How do you suppose these two opposite systems work out? Today, America pro duces far more electric power than all the Axis countries combined!
