ITerct week we, all of us, wi 11
celebrate the annual renewal
of a custom acre than 30G ye .re

Sometines we wonder if any one
of us really has taken the
time to realize just how im*
portant this event is to us,
as Americans all.
Surely the Pilgrim fathers had
no more to give*'thanks for than
we of modern America, The
Anerica founded upon those-pre
cepts of freedom of speech,
freedom of worship and freedom
of the press and the right to
be beard in the making of our
laws,
:vO one or us v;ould say for an
instant, that the principles
of our Democracy were not
worth fighting for, yet how
seldom do we take time to
really analyze the advnotates
and privileges enjoyed under
our form of government.
In this present great struggle
some of ush complained ao out
our inabi lity to to purchase
certain commodities, let how
many of these items have actual
ly constituted a hardship in
in any sense of the word? Cert
ainly none of us is starving—
few, if any, are going cold
and none of us has been dcprivco.

Notes
Members are hereby reminded that
when and if a power failure oc
curs on the outlying line districts
tho failure may occur in that
district only and our office and
personnel would have no means of
knowing it.
So, to avoid being without light,
long cr than necessary, please
noti fy us somehow, V/e will then
do our best to get lights on a
gain.
Recently an aeroplane went through
our lines, cutting off current
in the district south of Palmer.
