Rural Electrics
have contributed ^
to our national
welfare
□ True
□ False
The Fable
Thirty-one per cent of the nation's influential citizens think
rural electrics have contributed only moderately, or not at all,
to the national welfare This misconception was revealed in
a recent nation-wide public opinion survey.
The Facts
Rural electric systems, financed by Rural Electrification Ad
ministration loans, have raised rurol living standards, and
reduced farm drudgery. Electrical helpers enable fewer farm
ers to provide an abundance of choice food for city tables.
Rural demand for electrical equipment and appliances has
created o • w multi-million dollar market for industry, and
improved employment opportunities. Equally important,
adequate electric power in rurol areas is speeding decentrali*
zotion of industry and rapid establishment of vital defense
outposts.

WASHINGT ON' AND
"SMALL BUSINESS”
By C. WILSON HARDER
Once upon a time, in fact
not so long ago, actually it was
just about the middle of Oc
tober, to be specific, the head
of a great nation had a rude
awakening.
* * *
This nation had a very close
neighbor that believed in com
munism. But the advisors to
the head of
the great na
tion kept tell
ing him that
there was'not
too much te
all the talk
and excite
ment among
the people
about this
matter of the
nearby com- c. W. Harder
munistic nation.
* * *
After all, he was advised,
these matters should be hand
led by the United Nations.
There is a way to get along
with the communists.
* * *
So strong was the influence
of these advisors on the head
of the nation he did nothing
when people who believed in
freedom were slaughtered by
the communistic neighbor.
From the people of this greal
nation, came reports that the
communistic neighbor was
planning serious trouble. But
in spite of the fact that these
reports came in for many
months, the head of the nation
did nothing about it, because
. his influential advisors wanted
: him to do nothing about it.
; After all. they explained to
(El National Federation nt Independent ltn«ines*
nim, you are the head of uus
great nation. Why should you
pay any attention to the people.
In addition, the communists
made many direct promises
to the head of the great nation,
and gave him assurance that
all intentions were honorable.
• * *
There were many people in
this great nation who knew you
pannot believe anything a com
munist says.
* * *
But every time the head of
the nation started adopting th<
viewpoint of Ms people, these
influential advisors would ex
plain that after all, if a com
munist did not mean what he
said, he would never say it.
ova
So the great nation blundered
along. In the meantime, its
communistic neighbor pre
pared feverishly to become
very aggressive.
* * *
One day not too long ago it
became crystal clear what the
communists were up to. The
head of the great nation was
shocked that the communists
would break their word. He
set about immediately to rem- ’
edy his stupidity. It is too early
to tell whether or not his peo
ple will pay a great price for
his stupidity.
* * *
One of his first actions was
to fire his false advisor.
* * *
But perhaps his people would
be much better off now if
Prime Minister Nehru of India
had fired Menon before the
Chinese communists started
shooting In India.
