Letter To Old
Man Folks
WEEPING DAYS
Can Time be weeping over days,
Those days we see or days a-gone;
When man could plan his work
and plays
And feel that he’d be left alone?
Dear Old Man Folks:
We believe Consolation is the
word! All of we have heard of
this word. It has a sort of music
al tone. We say it, feel it, it is good
for the soul! But . . . what is it?
It has something more than just
a musical tone. It is a noble word,
it is beautiful. It encourages folks
to live on, work on and hope for
another day.
Freedom! Freedom is another
word. It is the substance from
which Consolation is built. This
is a wonderful word too, and we,
all, love it. But what just hardly
is the meaning of it these days?
Now, we know the words, the
^ w£) of them, and what do they
rnean t 0 us? No, there is no use in
you whispering the true answer
to me. We know what consolation
anc j freedom mean don’t we?
let’s wonder if tomorrow we can
die,
Or must we pay a few last breaths
as toll,
Or will we have to give some an
swer why,.
Or find our government another
fishing pole?

A Letter From Our Congressman
My dear Constituents:
The days roll by swiftly up
here when the Congress is hard
at work. The past week we have
debated and passed two important
kills. The first one concerned the
government and development of
the great territory of Alaska, and
particularly the authorization of
enlargement of the facilities of
the government owned Alaska
railroad, which extends 467 miles!
across this great territory, and
minor facilities at Mt.
N„ti„„ a i deslE .
j "£S
the Alaska Railroad and by air.
The report of Mr. Dimond. the
Delegate to Congress from Alas
ka, was very full and interesting.
The millions of dollars in gold,
copper, furs, etc., that we have
received from this territory, to
gether with the success of the
j l nuska farming Valley, development in indicate Manta
seems to a
| sure development there in the
near future.
I The other bill was the Inter
j ior for Department 1941. This, Appropriation of bill
1 course, is one
of the most important of the ap
propriation bills, and provides the
money and authorizations for the
entire work of the great Interior
Department for next year, the
principal items being for carry
ing out the provisions of the Graz
ing Act, the Petroleum Conserva
tion, the Bituminous Coal, Irriga
tion and Drainage and Health
Acts, the expenses of the Bureaus
of Mines, Fisheries, Biological
Survey, National Park Service,
Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of
Indian Affairs, and for the gov
ernment of the Territories of
Alaska, Hawaii and the Virgin Is
lands and for Puerto Rican and
Philippine Island activities. All of
these items were thoroughly de
bated, but the greatest
was manifested in the subject of
the Bonneville Power Administra
tion. This great electric power and
flood control project on the Co
lumbia River in the Northwest ri
| | vals the T. V. A. in extent, and
not ,only has controlled the floods
that formerly cocurred annually
there, but is furnishing cheap elec
trie power to the States of
ington, Oregon and Idaho. Strange
to say, every extension of electric
transmission lines there is
not by Western Congressmen, but
by Congressmen from the Eastern
States, thousands of miles away.
It seems that the only other elec
tric power company in that sec
tion is a part of the big corpora
tion known as Electric Bond and
Share. It was interesting to see
, Representative Pierce of Oregon,
former Democratic Governor of
that State, as he explained
this great power development has
done for his people in furnishing
cheap electricity ror- them. The
Rural Electricity program of this
Administration is truly one of its
greatest accomplishments,
Next week we take up the Na
val Expansion Bill, and our Geor
gia Congressman, Carl Vinson,
will lead the fight to obtain some

LESPEDEZA HAS MANY IISES
The popularity of lespedeza is
due to the many uses that are be

It is one of the most
plants in permanent pasture
tures. On good land with
moisture, it will give
yields of high-quality hay, and
der most any condition, it

Oldsmobile Sales
Set New Record
Oldsmobile retail sales for the
last ten days of February set a i
new all-time high for the period,
with a total of 5,753 cars. This
represents a gain of 102 per cent
over the 2,855 cars sold in the
same period a year ago, accord
ing to D. E. Ralston, general sales
manager.
Sales for the entire month of
February also established a new
record with a total of 13,541 units
which is an increase of more than
39 per cent over the 8,495 cars
sold in February, 1939.
Mr. Ralston also pointed out i
that retail sales of 13,541 for Feb
ruary exceeded the January sales
of 12,370, which is the first time
since the fall announcement of
new models that February sales s
have been larger than those of i
January. i
