After all, is it not the little fellow for whom the in­
dependents are ostensibly waging a campaign? They are
not concerned over enterprises like the Oregon-American I
or Clark and Wilson, who can buy their power or manu­
facture it themselves, according to their own best in­
terests. The small consumer wants cheap electricity which
the big man is in a position to get anyhow, and he wants I
a sufficient amount for his purpose. The farmer craves
electric power for his pump, and his wife for her wash­
ing machine, while both, perhaps, desire a radio. Away
from the centers of population or the source of’ supply, a
Diesel plant, municipal or private, is the more promising
agency for that desired power.

VERNONIA NEEDS AN AMBULANCE
Picture for yourself—it has happened more than once,
and can happen again: A man lies in a logging camp, ser­
iously injured. A call goes to Portland for an ambulance,
which comes as soon as it can. but there is an unavoidable
delay of just the length of time it takes the ambulance
to make the trip to get the patient. Pain is unassuaged
........... Life hangs in the balance. An ambulance stationed
in Vernonia might have saved the life; certainly it could
have brought prompter relief.
By all means, Vernonia should have an ambulance.
