How do you build an Edison?
One of the best examples of free enterprise
at work was Thomas Alva Edison, born Feb
ruary 11, 1847.
Bold dreams and hard work led him to
the title, “The Man of 1,000 Inventions.” He
launched 100 businesses of his own.
Edison invented the electric lamp, and he
built a factory to make the lamps. From
nothing but vision at the start, he developed
the world’s first electric utility system.
Today, it is good to look back at what was
done by one man, to re-evaluate our American
heritage, and to rededicate ourselves to pre
sejving free enterprise. It is the only system
in the world that can produce another Edison.

CORN PRICES
During the past three years,
corn prices have advanced more
than prices of other feed grains.
Paul C. Bunce, Extension Ser
vice outlook specialist, says corn
prices for the 1964-65 marketing
year will be strengthened some
what. Reason for this is because
of the Increase in the loan rate
from $1.07 per bushel in 1963
to sl.lO in 1964. Another con
tributing factor will be the smal
ler crop.

Plan Escape Routes
Would your family know what to
do if fire struck your home to
night?
If you can’t answer yes, you
ought to call a family conference
immediately to work out a fire
escape plan.
According to the American In
surance Association, you should
try to plan two escape routes in
the event one is cut off by flames
or smoke.
It is particularly important, the
American Insurance Association
says, that small children and el
derly people know these routes
well, so that they may exit quick
ly, with a minimum of confusion,
at the first sign of fire.
