r *^rs new life!
lust as Fulton’s steamboat gave new pu.pose and vitality to
^erican rivers, rural electrification brings new life to long
formant natural and human resources in America’s rural areas.
The organizations rural people created to serve themselves
vith electricity are leaders in today's effort to revive our rural
jconomy. In scores of communities rural electric systems are
oca I points for planning and developing new home-grown job
ipportunities. This rural development program benefits city
aeople, too, because it slows the migration of untrained
vorkers to urban areas and provides purchasing power
'or city-made products.
Remember the woman who stood on the oank to watch
rulton's experiment? At first she said “It’ll never float’’ anc
vhen it did she said “It’ll never stop." The benefits of rura
ilectrification never stop either, they multiply daily to help
»veryone. This is why we say rural electrification is good foi
all Americans.

Dear Editor:
At last I find enough time to
start writing a weekly letter
about our travels in Europe via
Air France, Luft Hansa, B.A.C.,
Swiss and K.L.M.
When we left Alaska, Old Sol
was out in all his glory. Our
Anchorage friends were there
to see us off, wishing us a plea
sant trip. Barbara, well-known
1 French hostess of Air France,
- gave orders to give the Sniders
• a good seat, and to see that we
• i were well taken care of. One
> more glimpse of Alaska’s larg
> est city, and we were off to the
> blue sky, climbing to 20,000
• feet.
. We met the captain, and all
' of the personnel were very cor
dial. The whole trip to Ham
. burg was made in nine hours,
' with plenty to eat and cham
■ pagne to drink.
. Arriving in Hamburg, we
- were left on our own. Ameri
1 can money had to be changed
• to German marks. It was very
: difficult to find hotel accom
- modations, as Hamburg had
- been chosen for a business con
vention, and all the hotels were
1 full but at last one was found
■ a long way from the center of
the city. It was far from a first
| class hotel. We carried our bag
gage to the top of three flights
of stairs. There was no bath,
and, as in many European ho
tels, so soap.
; That night we took in a
; show. Heim Wayh. We also vis
• ited at St. Paule. Hamburg was
! almost destroyed during the
last world war. 350,000 people
lost their lives. But Hamburg
was fast rebuilt.
The German people were
I very friendly. The German lan
guage was not strange for the
writer. In a very short time, I
was able to converse with
them. Even Mrs. Snider learn
ed to speak the German lan
guage. In four weeks here, she
can say “brot” (bread), “essen”
(eating), and “beer.”
Next week Berlin.
Our address is Heinie Snider,
c/o Mr. J. J. DeMoes, Kweeke
strait, 8, Zaandam, Holland.
