VIT THURSDAY, SEPT. 13, 1945 NO. 2 IMPROVING FARM TELEPHONE SERVICE The telephone companies of the nation have been quietly experimenting with the problem of running telephone lines on electric light poles. In the past, the noise caused by power lines has made this cordbination service on one pole unsatis- factory. During the war period, while it has been impossible to get equipment to m'ake telephone exteiasidna in rural areas, electric companies and telephone compapies have been car rying on experiments to provide telephqae service to rural homes after the war by utilizing existing power line poles, and thus save the expense of building a.separate pole line. One of many such tests is being conducted by the Ala bama Power Company and the Southern Bell Telephone Com pany. Indications are that the pradticability of the plan will be demonstrated. There will be ‘^bugs” to be worked out in certain special safety and service equipment, which will re quire time, but if now seems almost cqrtaah, that as equipment and instruments become more plentiful, dependable telephone service carried on powqr poles in rural areas, will become as commonplace as dependable electric service. ^o—I MORE THAN FIATS NEEDED NOW With all due respect to the need in wartime for rigid rules; and re^gulafions covering retailing and manufacturing, one is; simply staggered at the restrictibns and orders under which not only the largest but the smallest retail stores must try to operate. But the retail industry is like the human body—it seeks to perform its functions even under the most Critical condi tions. Only individuals with great vitality can survive m'any of the epidemics that afflict the human race, and only stores with exceptional! management, can meet “epidemic” regula tions.

BUILD OUR OWN (From The Albemarle News & Press) For a long number of years, towns and cities in the South have Ijeen advertising for industries to move in and provide them with payrolls. Many communities have been fairly successful in attracts- in€ industry from the larger cit ies of the nation, but in some in-' stances, the results obtained have been far from satisfactory. The best way for a community to secure additional industrial payrolls is for citizens of that community to build and operate plants of their own. This means that the profits remain in the community, and it also means that the welfare of the communi ty is given due consideration by those who operate the plants.

Vinson Shortly after Fred Vinson was named Secretary of the Treasury he was quoted in the press as say ing “the American people are in the pleasant predicament of having, to learn to live 50% better than they have ever lived before.” When he made this remark he was talking about a future day, one that had not come then and has not come yet, but a completely possible future day. Hitler was no longer a menace, when the new Secretary spoke of a 50% higher living standard in Amer ica, but Japan still clouded the Pa cific. Now that has cleared up also and today’s national problem is economic rather than strategic. The strain is no less, but in a dif ferent place. Ease felt in Amer- |' ica as firing ceased was like the relief of changing hands with a heavy burden. ' Load is on Vinson | About a month ago this column carried an outline of Mr. Vinson's tax policies which I frankly con- i sider sound. Now, in view of the changed international picture, it is | high time everybody knew more , about this generalissimo of post-war j finances, czar of economics in the : world’s most important country. He , is a key man on the team that has i to win if liberty, civilization and en lightenment survive. | Fred .Vinson is 55 years old. Half ; a century ago he was playing in the j yard of the jailhouse in Louisa, Ky. | His father was county jailer. The next year he started to school. . . . His coarse hair is hall gray i now and he has some loose skin un- | der his chin but he’s recognized as i the “best in his line” and on a job where everybody wishes him well, if that’s success. A Serious Student Louisa, with some 2,000 inhabi tants, is across the Big Sandy river from West Virginia. There young Vinson entered school, there was elected district attorney and from ; there went to Congress in 1922. At Center College, Danville, Ky., he worked in the library to help pay expenses, took a leading part in ath letics and averaged above 95 in grades all through college and law school. Mrr Vinson is a penetrating think er. He has years of experience in government and he knows taxes. He is a recognized fiscal expert. That’s what put him on the Ways & Means committee and here his ability is still respected. He has been a Fed eral judge, the successful economic stabilizer of this country, also direc tor of war mobilization and recon version—the job that’s known as “assistant president.” To Make More Jobs Vinson has many prime qualifica tions for his present job. Anent his thoroughness, it came out a time or two in connection with his work as chairman of the tax section of the Ways & Means committee that he knew more than his witnesses them selves about testimony they submit ted. Recollection of these incidents naturally tends to keep alive Vin son’s infiuence among congressmen which is a big asset It is told that he studied before hand the financial statements of big corporations whose officials were to testily, and his questioning them proved repeatedly that he knew more about certain aspects of a cor poration’s business than did its pres ident This is the man who planned a tax program to create the most jobs, instead of merely raising rev enue for the government something I have been shouting from the house tops for four years.
