WASHINGTON REPORT jy till WHITLEY Advocates of the Rural ation Program are prepar L|ves for a battle which Lger a matter of life and Ltbe entire RE A setup. Lp officials consider the Commission report dealing Lyal lending agencies as Car to the REA program, jd by Congress, they fear I seriously jeopardize the the Hoover Commission Uations, REA would be 1 into a "Rural Electrifi trporation," and would be by ? board of directors. it proposed changes, it is lit REA co-ops would be t secure all future loans the private money market. iTE. Such a shift, it is ar luld mean that the REA i effect be put into the hands of private banking interests ?and for all practical purposes, into the hands of private utilities. REA was conceived and built, it is argued, by the general public through Congross. To put it into the hands of private interests would be to kill its intent, it is pointed out. ARGUMENTS. In support of their positio, REA advocates have a strong argument in REA's record of repayment of loans. Of the total 2.5 billion dollars loaned to REA co-ops in the 20 years the program has been in operation, only $307, 340 has been lost in delinquent loans. In North Carolina the repay ment record has been even more amazing. Of a total of 78.5 million dollars in North Carolina loans, there are none delinquent. Another argument is that of in creased interest rates. REA officials fear that if the Hoover Commission A Chick Is Born w WITH wide-eyed wonder, Linda Beadling, 6, of Pittsburgh, watches the birth of a baby chick. At top, she can scarcely believe her eyes as the shell cracks' and the newcomer strug gles for an exit. Thirty minutes later (center), the chick is half out. More than an hour passes and, at bottom, Linda witnesses another magical transformation as a flufly little bird is ready for a stroll. (International) Red Science Fights Church x MOSCOW <AP> ? To give the Russian peasants the thrill of star gazing?and. also to propagandize them on the theme of Natural Sciences vs. Religion?the Soviet Astronomy Societies are sending mobile observatories to tour the countryside. The Blue Bus of the Planetarium is becoming an increasingly famil iar sight. In it are mounted pow erful telescopes and then the farm ers are invited to come and look. First they are given a lecture on astronomy in which the lecturer invites the farmers to "become imaginary passengers on a space ship. . . This is what you will see." Also they get considerable athe istic propaganda in these lectures which dispute the Bible story of the Creation of the World. ? ii . ? ? ? Although lichens are not now used as dye plants, they were so used in ancient times. report is carried into law, it would mean that co-ofrs would have to pay about twice as much in inter est as they now pay. TREND. The Recommendations of the Hoover Commission concern ing REA is but one of suggestions that the government should turn over many of its functions to pri vate enterprise. It is a growing trend in line with the recommend ations of President Eisenhower and the Republican Party. 1 It is interesting to note that REA itself was born as a result of Pri vate power companies refusing to furnish electricity to rural areas which didn't appear profitable. Now, after 20 years of development, it appears that private utilities feel that there is profit to be made in REA customers. Americans, Like Europeans, Yen For A Coat Of Arms By JANE EADS WASHINGTON ? It's an old European custom dating back to about the time of Emperor Henry the Fowler in the 9th century, but you too can have a coat-of-arms. even if you can't track down some medieval ancestor to latch it on to. Dorothy Gatchell, artist, and former chief heraldic specialist for the Air Force, says you can design your own coat-of-arms, and tells you how to go about it in an il lustrated 34-page booklet "Heral dry, Designed for You." She be lieves that Americans "have a sense of personal majesty," and ought to express it in the terms of the world and times in which we live. "Instead of the fleur de lis and lion rampant symbols of the Middle ages, the coat-of-arms of the 20th century American should use sym bols depicting our inventions and progress, our hobbles, famify his tory. and personal characteristics." Miss Gatchell designed the Air Force flag, many of its service em | blems and shoulder patches, is now I with the Air Furce Graphic Arts j Branch. She has designed coats I of-arms for hundreds of people 1 over the past 25 years. She's been "pmazed at the interest" and says Americans are just as crazy for a eoat-of-arms as the British. She gets more requests than she can handle. Before you set about designing a coat-of-arms, though. Miss Bat chell suggests you bone up on some of the basic laws and usages of the symbols. You have to take care. For instance, a certain kind of triangle in the upper left corner meant "boaster." A certain patch in t)ie lower left meant "drunkard," and two other kinds of patches at the bottom, meant "coward," and "kills his prisoner." Recently Miss Gatchell received an Invitation beautifully engraved with a family coat-of-arms, pro claiming the entire family to be llligitimately founded.

We regret that we were not able to convince those who represented the Union that the Company's proposal for increased wages, expanded arbitration, and other contract improvements is fair and liberal. It protects the interests of the public, the employees and the company. We will continue our efforts to con vince Union leaders of its benefits and advantages. We hope we will be suc cessful. In the meantime/ telephone service con tinues good. Over 30/000 telephone men and women are on the job. More are returning every day. We are handling our normal volume of long distance calls. Local service is 85 per cent dial - operated, and in the other cities and towns where operators handle the calls, the service is generally normal. Over the South, the messages are going through. THIS WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE GREAT ENCOURAGEMENT AND COOPERATION GIVEN US BY TELEPHbNE USERS EVERYWhErE AND BY THE SKILL AND SPIRIT OF TELEPHONE FOLKS ON THE JOB. TO BOTH GROUPS GO OUR WARMEST THANKS. % ' ' SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY SERVING THE SOUTH FOR 75 YEARS fJI ?'? vi V . ' '' ' "W* ' 1 -- ? | ? ? - -
