W ith the passing of the Seventy- iirst Congress the N egro finds himself in the most strategic political position ever recorded in American history Those who view their politics only by the political jobs that they or their ilk can control will st once dispute the aforementioned statement. Viewed en tirely from the point o f opportunity to achieve and become independent, there is no question or argument that will dispute the actual facts. J. T.

I f you are interested write Mr. De Lanty fo r a copy o f the report. Virginia. Minnesota, has one o f the lowest lighting rates m the country fo r small cities. The rate o f 8*» cents per kilowatt hour charged by its municipal electric plant is rem ark able when you consider the popula tion is only 16,030. The people o f the City o f M ilford, N. J.. have emphatically refused to dispose o f their municipal light and (rawer plant. The power truat, as usual, spent considerable money to prove public ownership a “ failure." The voters could not see it that way. By a vote o f six to one, they refused to sell their plant to the private com pany, which offered $450,000 fo r the city utilities.

A very perturbed father may bring in his child w fotn he has had to several doctors or to a clinic, still in doubt as to what is wrong with his child because explanations o f the child's ailments, if given, were in such technical terms that he failed to understand. A very nervous wom an who has been the rounds o f sev eral physicians and one or more clin ics. comes in disturbed because she has had continual examinations and tests and a little treatm ent, yet no explanation o f her trouble and no im provement in her health. Because o f this groat number of people are undoubtedly seeking a coni' ■non sense explanation o f some o f the common ailments, an attempt is g o ng to be made in this column to dis cuss some o f these b riefly and simply each week. k m elt, to a smooth and creamy sauce.

Compare that assertion with the “ hand wagon” minds of many of u< Gentiles I have been listening in on the radio talks of the pope. I don't understand latin , but some of my law yer friends do and some of it has been translated tor me. Ah. me I I dislike lo l>e forced to believe that we must »till be governed by superstitious fear and reactionary doctrines. W hile the world is filled with hearts and minds waiting to be stirred by spiritual truths that at the same lime will un lock the hungry intelligence, it is some what discouraging to be fed on re- elcstical dogma. .* - .

NOT A F A I) Electricity in the home, the office or the manufacturing establishment is not a fad or a fashion subject to changing styles or to be discarded as a pissing whim. It is just as much an essential commodity as any other commodity re quired in the operation o f these institutions. Fashions in methods of its utilization may vary from time to time, but its usefulness and the need for it are basic W e are in the business of manufacturing, selling and distributing this commodity. It is our business to furnish a never-failing supply of kilowatt- hours and to distribute them in the most efficient manner possible. 1 his is what constitutes scrvcc. The best possble service at the lowest possible cost is our one aim, and we recognise that only by the accomplish ment of this aim can wc discharge our obligations to the individual and the community.
