Have you ever had company drop in and since vou hadn’t seen one another in ages, you invited them to stay for dinner? I gen- erally have an extra package of ground beef in the freezer and a good supply of canned or frozen vegetables so meat and potatoes are no problem. But dessert — that’s another story. I try not to have an extra on hand ’cause I eat it and then it goes to waste. However, thanks to a can of peaches (or any other canned or frozen fruit), and a blender, I can have an instant, low calorie dessert. Or sometimes I substi tute it for a whole meal if I’m trying to cut down on meals and remain well nourished at the same time. Summer Heat Get You Down?

What's ahead for Rural Electrics? As the countryside changes, and grows, pow er requirements increase, doubling every five to seven years. Increasing demand for power results in increasing need for capital. To meet this need, Rural Electrics across the land haw? established their own self-help financ ing institution to tap the private money market for ■funds to supplement the REA loan program. America needs and can use all the electric power the nation can produce. There is a need to pool facilities — commercial, municipal, state, and Fed eral — if there is to be plentiful, dependable, electric power to meet future need . . . Rural Electrics are striv ing to serve the new needs of this new day. Providing low-cost electric power for their service areas — and thus sustaining nearly alt of man's activities — this is the continuing job of the Member-owned systems. The benefits of their ef forts are felt throughout the Nation . . .

Be Patient Census Taker Is Coming Ruth B. Crichton, District Manager, reports that the 1970 Census of Population and Housing is nearing completion in the area, that in about an other 2 weeks the census tak ers should have visited every residence on their lists. Census takers began visiting households on April and have been working continuously to cover their territories. The District Manager asks that householders hold their questionnaires, which were de livered prior to April 1, and have them filled out, ready for the census taker to pick up. This will save time for both the householder and the census taker and speed up the completion of the census. For every fifth household, the census taker will have a longer questionnaire which she will fill out by interview ing a member of the household. The District Manager asks householders to welcome these census takers when they call and to give them full cooper ation in getting the required census information. Most of the census takers are women. Each wears a red, white, and blue identification badge which is her official credential. It bears her signa ture and certifies that she is authorized to perform the du ties of a Census Enumerator, and has sworn to keep confi dential all census information given her.

THE CITIZENS BANK FOLKSTON AND NAHUNTA, GEORGIA Members Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Bill Stuckey ]n Washington The visible effects of the mail strike have almost disappeared. F J "ou and I as c.tizens ot th.s country it meant an annoymg and serious delay m oui mail service. Yet th.s isolated mc.dent does not deeply trouble me. I am much more disturbed to see the trend ot such ^st^ wh.ch has become so clear as we !ook back on the 1960 s and now early 1970 As the emot.onal wave ot protest spreads we -an onlv study the past and grope tor a guiding Hght to show us Jhe present path we should take to bring future peace to this “□enl Nixon’s plea to the mailworkers to respond to the cry that their country, oui country is in a crisis should therefore have gone much further than the post offices, ft should go into the home ot each and every American, mto our h lg h schools and colleges, onto the battlefields ot Vietnam But most of all tt should re-echo in the halls of Congress as we direct the course of this nation. , . ~ , The President and the Courts could not physically force the workers back to their tobs. they could only trust that these workers had an inborn sense ol pride in their country; a pride which is constantly scorned by hippies and radicals. And so the situation ot the mailworker was much like the situation in which many great people have found themselves throughout the history ot these United States. Each has had to ask himself, “Do my personal demands justify a shirking ot the responsibility my nation has entrusted to me?” And within this thought is the still more soul-searching question, Is this democ racy strong enough to consider my integrity and realize my individual plight without a strike? When our Communist neighbors point at our strikes and at our violent demonstrations, 1 would ask you then to consider these thoughts. That except for an infinitely small number, these persons are not striking over our system ot government, ft is our democracy, our Constitution, which allows their freedom of expression. Our system of government is exactly that uneasy balance between one person’s freedom and another’s rights. And our democratic country is strong enough not just to absorb the tension created by the crisis ot a strike, but to respond to it. It is hard to keep an open and sensitive mind toward every new peace movement, strike, and protest, and always use our basic concept of an unselfish democracy to guide our reactions. But when 1 am confronted with an impending railway strike, an air traffic controller strike, or the heaping of scom upon Judge Carswell, I force myself to keep these ideas in the forefront of my mind.
