Soon al­ most all American farms will either be using central station power, or will have it available. And, in indus­ try, dependable power service is as vital as is the blood stream to a living being. Our leadership in electrification is unquestioned. American power production in the year which ended this September was more than the entire world pro­ duction in 1929. We generate five times as much electri­ city as the next ranking nation, Russia. Free enterprise did all this — not government, not dictators. It gives us the finest electric service on earth for about a third as much as we spend for tobacco. The record speaks for itself — and it is just beginning. llO T Y liX f o r m ost v e te ra n s allow ances, unem p lo y m e n t paym ents in Oregon S t d e c i S “to oen non ■ $63,320, lo w e st in fo u r years and a b out h a lf o f the $121,169 sent o u t in Septem ber, 1948 M a n y veterans n o w are e n title d to state com pensation.
