The people in our community were
very proud indeed last Tuesday when
our line was completed and the lights
turned on. So everybody could have
bright lights and all other conviences
that go with electricity.
We wish to thank every one who
helped in any way, and especially Mr.
Cannon, who worked as faithfully
with, not only one, but- all of us in
making the line a success. I think
rural electricification is one of the
greatest things F. D. R. has ever spon

A number of the new fall books are j
being added to the shelves of the H. .
Leslie Perry Memorial Library. Many J
of the popular authors have new
books.
A. J. Cronin’s “The Citadel” will be
one of the most widely read books. It
is the stoiy of a young doctor’s strug
gles against superstition, prejudice,
and unscientific practices in a min
ing district of South* Wales.
The Harper F'rize novel is “The
Seven Who Fled” by Frederic Pro
kosch. It relates the story of seven-
Europeans who were suddenly com
pelled for political reasons to flee from
a city la the center of Chinese: Tur
kestan.
“Recapture-the Moon,” is consider
ed by many critics Sylvia Thomp
son’s best novel since “The Hounds
of Spring.” Two families, one Eng
lish and the other French, are bound
together 'ey the ties of international
finance.
Harvey O’Connor has written an ab
sorbing story of the rise of a dynasty
in “The Guggenheims.” Those who
are interested in the Guggenheim fel
lowships and awards will enjoy read

peddler with the aid of his seven sons

journalistic life in countries where
censorshpis prevailed. I know what
real censorship is like. We have not
any such thing in this epuntry —not by
nearly 100 per cent. Our goveepment’s
press agents may be slightly niffed
if their “stuff” is strongly discounted,
but that’s all.
Sometimes, when a Washington cor
respondent has broadcast something
emphatically anti-administrationistic,
a government press agent will call him
up and ask for the privilege of tell
ing him the administration’s side of
the case; I never knew a case in
which any undue pressure was
brought to :tear upon him. I do, in
deed, know of a case in which a Na
tional Press club member was ex
pelled from the club for comment con
cerning the president personally. It
was done, however, on the ground
that the expelled member had un
justifiably slurred a fellow-member
(the president).
I thought it was an improper ex
pulsion at that, and so did plenty of
us. We would not have acquiesced in
it if we had been members of the
board of governors.
Anyway, it was not the administra
tion’s action. It was ours—the club
members’.
As Stewart Sees It.
Now, a press agent is all right.
All big interests have them in Wash
ington—private: interests, I mean.
They are a great convenience to
newspapermen. Information is readily
obtainable from them. The informa
tion they give out is .biased, of course.
Ev er y intelligent newspaperman
knows it and makes allowances. Hav
ing informed himself from one side’s
angle, he hurries to obtain the other
side’s. He balances the two sides, one
against the other.
But the press agents .are short-cuts
respectively.
