BIG POWER MERGERS ,
Recent mergers of large power companies in the
northeastern and southeastern section of the country
have served to bring forth expressions of apprehension
from certain newspapers and politicians, who profess to
see in these combinations a threat of monopoly and ex
ploitation of the nation’s waterpower resources.
From the standpoint of the public, however, there are
several important facts which should be kept in mind.
In the first place, all waterpower developments in re
cent years have been made under the provisions of the
national waterpower act, sponsored by Roosevelt, Pin
ehot and other leading conservationists. This act was
deemed adequate to protect the interests of the people,
so far as providing for a systematic and intelligent use of
potential waterpower sites is concerned.
In each state a public service commmission, elected
by the people, has full authority to control rates and con
ditions under which service must be performed.
In order that all the developed hydro-electric power
of a given section of .the country may be utilized for the
benefit of that entire section, it is manifestly necessaiy to
have interconnected transmission lines, so that a tem
porary shortage in one locality may be relieved by divert
ing power from other parts of the territory. The benefits
of such an arrangement were amply demonstrated last
fall, when the mills and factories of the Carolinas and
Georgia were able to draw power from Alabama to tide
them over during a severe drouth. Without interconnec
tion this would have been impossible.
With government control over the development of
sites, and state control over rates, it would appear that
the interests of the people are amply protected, while
economy of operation undoubtedly results from such co
operation as these mergers contemplate.
One thing is certain: These developments are making
possible more industrial plants and payrolls, which will
in turn provide greater employment for labor and wider
markets for the products of the farm.

fOUR GREAT FEARS
COUNT'EM
Four great fears accompany yon from
your home to your work and remain
with you throughout the day—
1* The fear of your family being
left unprovided for;
2. The fear of a penniless old ago
for yourself;
3. The fear of loss of income from
total or partial disablement;
4. The fear of losing what yon
have accumulated.
JVouId it be worth anything to you to have these
fear* eliminated from your life—to know that you
were shielded by a complete circle of protection?
A line to us will bring you full details without com*
mining you to any action.

For Comfort’s Sake
The Better Buick offers every
ordinary motoring comfort, and
many that are exclusively Buick:
Easier starting—a new, high-speed
starting motor does it. Smooth run
ning from the go—Automatic Heat
Control is an exclusive Buick feature, i
Easier steering—Buick’s 5-control- j
surface steering gear is the most ex- |
pensive and most efficient type today. I
Buick surrounds you with every
ordinary protection, and then adds
Buick protection: Buick depend
ability, which takes you and brings
you back, on time, all the time,
Buick mechanical 4-wheel brakes,
with no liquid in them to expand,
contract or leak away. And Buick
Controllable Beam Headlights, with
steering wheel control, which make
night driving a pleasure.
For Economy’s Sake
No other car has the “Sealed Chassis”
and the “Triple Sealed Engine.” The
“Sealed Chassis” lowers operating
costs by enclosing every operating
part inside a dirt-proof, oil-tight
housing, while “Triple Seals” close
every engine point of entry to dirt
and the wear dirt causes.
At present prices, Buick with all of
its added comfort, safety, and
economy, is easily the greatest
automobile value in the world.
If you want finer transportation at
lower cost, come in and see the
