FIRE COMES HOME TO YOU By this time, most of your New Year’s resolutions have probably been broken. It's time to maite a new and perhaps more sensible set. And here’s one that none of us should miss: “I resolve to do my part to help prevent fire during this and every other year.” Tf every American would make and keep that resolution, some half billion dollars worth of property w’ould be saved from destruction. Indirect fire loss estimated at several times that figure would be prevented. Infinitely more important, about ten thousand people would be saved from the most jrhastly of deaths. And the legion of jobs and opportunities which fire de stroys when it strikes at bus inesses, w'ould be preserved. Fire isn’t somebody else’s business. It’s your business. Y'ou and other people like you, whether you know it or not, are responsible for fire. You bene fit every time a fire is prevent ed. Human ignorance, human carelessness, human failures— these are the things that keep our annual fire losg at an inex cusable level. Probably not one fire in ten can honestly be class ed as unaivoidable. Practically all fires, great and small, can be traced to the human element. As 1939 came to a close, fire loss in this country was tend ing upward, by coipparison w^ith the same months in other re cent years. That means that more of us have been taking chances, and refusing to put into effect the simple precautions that will prevent most fires. And that means also that it’s time to take action. Don’t for get that the prevention of fire may save your home from ruin —as w’ell as your life.

CIVILIZING AGENT The up-to-date marketing co operative does more than just sell the products of its mem bers. As “Producer Co-ops in Action” points out, “It keeps abreast of the latest scientific methods of raising better crops and healthier livestock, setting the pace in providing constant ly improving food products for the nation’s grocerj^ basket. Further than that, the coopera tive, through its interchange of ideas and frequent membership contacts, is an educational as set of great importance in the agricultural community; it is, in fact’ a vital part of the produc er’s way of life.” Much marketing cooperative energy is directed to showing the farmer how he can get more from his farm, and at a lower production cost. The individual farmer, working alone, can do little in this direction—one man can’t learn it all. The coopera tives hire experts, and work with research organizations. They are the first to learn of anything new that will help the farmer. The marketing coopera tive, in short, is a civilizing agent, as well as an economic and social force. RATIONALIZING TRANSPORTATION In almost any line of busi ness, legitimate competition is the most effective instrument for improving service to the public. jQenerally speaking, that fact is accepted as a matter of course—but, so far as the transportation business is con cerned, we have to a large ex tent thrown it overboard. R. V. Fletcher of the Associa tion of American Railroads, covered the problem tersely w'hen he said: “Say to any foim of transportation that to it. by government fiat, is given the exclusive privilege of carrying, and you immediately dull the edge of industry by taking away the incentive to energy. No one, by the exercise of authority, can select a predetermined sphere of activity. This must be ascertained by the play of economic principles governed by questions of costs, in the light of public demands as to certain ty, speed and safety ...” Our existing transportation legislation makes normal com petition virtually impossible. One kind of carrier is subsidiz ed by the taxpayer, and another is tax penalized. One kind is regulated, while another is half regulated and still another is hardly regulated at all. There is no equality in the present laws —and the result is detrimental not only to the carriers, but to all those who use transporta tion service. Now pending in Congress is a long considered, exhaustive bill w’hose principal purpose is to rationalize transportation, and to put all carriers on an even footing. This bill aside from minor differences, has passed both branches by heavy mapor- ities. Those differences are now beincr ironed out—and Congress can do the nation no greater •service than to give the bill ear ly approval. PRIVATE UTILITIES PROGRESSIVE The Chamber of Commerce of the United States recently pub lished a thorough-going sur vey of America’s electric power need. At the end. the survey says this: The long established record of private utilities for being progressive, adjustable and mobile in the face of chang ing social and economic condi tions, gives American industry the feeling of security in its power supply for tomorrow. Un der the American system of pri vate initiative, private industry can meet, most effectively, na tional emergencies as they arise, whether the need be for steel or munitions or transportation or power.” Keep that in mind next time you hear it argued that it is necessary for the government to soend more billions for power development and distribution. No industry is more eager to go ahead. ,«pend, develop and employ, than power—all that has stood in the way has been political persecution. The whole record of private electrical de velopment since the earliest days in this country has been rtne of aggressive progress, rap id expansion and swiftly drop- ning rates to the home, farmer and commert:iaI consumer. Jn snite of all the political gibber ish, these facts remain true. The 1940 Worlds Almanac now on sale—Hayes.’ ABERDEEN Mrs. T. B.
