LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

he knew and loved for so
long. I also think the editor
of “The Menlo News” section
has done a great job
through the years. This is
the place we are from and
more names are familiar
there than anywhere else.
Dad always said your paper
had “the clearest pictures of
any paper” he ever saw and
he was always comparing it
with metropolitan news
papers and saying your pic
tures looked much better.
Needless to say, he was very
partial to your publication
and I thank you again for
giving him this pleasure for
more than 47 years.

“It’s only a paper moon
hanging under a cardboard
sky . .
This verse doesn’t sound
at all unbelievable in this
paper-conscious world. In
addition to the paper dresses
which took the world un
aware, there is knitted paper
and lacquer-coated paper
for weather protection.
Do-it-yourself ea rr i n gs,
hair ornaments and neck
laces of paper are all avail
able in addition to complete
party kits of a flower
printed shift with matching
cups, plates, placemats, nap
kins, matches and invita
tions.
Also on the market is a
paint-it-yourself dress that
costs $2, including the paint.
Some manufacturers believe
paper resort wear to be “the
thing.” The idea is to buy
paper clothes at a hotel
when arriving and throw
them away when departing,
eliminating the packing of
luggage.
What does all this mean?
Will the disposables last?
The signs indicate they will
since paper is filling a real
need. It allows experimen
tation in fashion and home
furnishings at low cost with
no upkeep.
It’s the solution to the
temporary situation—clothes
for travel, coveralls for
school or work or furniture
for students or young
marrieds on the move. The
throwaways are contem
porary and convenient and
could become classics.
Paper clothes really aren’t
new! One company has been
making disposable items for

plants for over ten years.
Paper operating gowns and
head covers, as well as dis
posable linens for office use,
have been available to
doctors. The fully-tailorecj
paper garments for industry
do not sell for pennies, how
ever. Even in lots of 1,000,
a plain overall costs around
$1.75. The intricacies of con
struction all run up labor
costs. Only new construction
methods such as gluing or
bonding can help to lower
the price.
As non-woven paper fab
rics appear, new products
follow with each one striv
ing for more strength,
quality and better service.
Better printing methods are
being developed, notably silk
screening, which refine the
print. Most of the fabrics
are essentially 93 per cent
cellulose and 7 per cent
nylon, rayon or polyester.
This man-made fiber is
pressed between the cel
lulose layers. Paper fabrics
have a flame retardant fin
ish which will char but not
flare up when held to a
lighted match. At present,
any attempt to clean a
paper garment will remove
this fire-proofing and make
the garment combustible so
don’t try cleaning them.
Throw paper items away as
intended.
Paper by the yard ranges
from 50 cents up. A Paris
fabric house recently put its
fabric on the market at sl2.
For one or two wearings, will
the time spent in making
paper garments be worth it?
Is the “paper rage” a
fad? Are marketing experts
accurate when they predict
sales reaching S3OO million
within five years? Or is the
“paper rage” like the “hula
hoop”?

The
Federal Electric Bank:
A Costly Scheme
Citizens of the United States, already burdened with high
taxes, soaring living costs and a huge national debt, will
look with dismay upon the latest scheme of certain public
power zealots in Washington.
It is a monstrous proposal called the Federal Electric
Bank, under which a loan fund of $8y 4 billion, and perhaps
more, would be made available to REA cooperatives. Part
of the money would come from the taxpayers, and the re
mainder from other sources.
It would be a further tremendous obligation on the U. S.
Treasury which is already having to carry the cost of the
war in Vietnam plus many expensive domestic programs.
Largest Federal Bank in History
The size of this Federal Electric Bank is such that it
would be the largest federally owned banking institution
in history—about three times as large as the Federal De
posit Insurance Corporation, which insures the nation’s
bank deposits. This Federal Electric Bank would be larger
than any commercial bank in the United States except three.
Families struggling to meet the costs of food, clothing,
housing and other necessities of life, growing higher and
higher each month as a result in part of government spend
ing policies, will wonder why this Electric Bank is necessary.
99 Per Cent of Farms Electrified
Those who have kept up with developments in rural
electrification will recall that the nation’s electric power
companies and the rural electric cooperatives, working to
gether, have extended electric service to more than 99 per
cent of the farms and rural homes of America. The fine
relationship between the Georgia Power Company and the
cooperatives in Georgia is known throughout the nation.
In the past 30 years, Congress has made available to the
rural electric cooperatives $4.7 billion at an interest rate of
2 per cent. It costs the U. S. Treasury itself much more
than that to borrow the money.
People might wonder why a multi-billion-dollar “bank”
should be created now when the job of bringing electricity
to rural areas is virtually completed and when the nation’s
farms are constantly decreasing in number.
Generous Congressional Appropriations
And many members of Congress who are asked to pass
this legislation will be at a loss to understand why the
present generous appropriations, $365 million a year for
the past two years, are not sufficient. These appropriations
can be, and no doubt will be, continued in the future and
even increased, if necessary, at the same 2 per cent inter
est rate. Apparently, the real purpose of the Federal Elec
tric Bank is to do away with any effective legislative con
trol over the way federal rural electrification money is used.
Apparently also, the public power advocates are embarking
on a vast empire-building project based in part on taking
over or duplicating the properties of taxpaying electric com
panies such as the Georgia Power Company, whose total tax
bill in 1965 was nearly S4O million. (The co-ops pay no in
come tax—state or federal.)
Briefly, by means of a Federal Electric Bank, the public
power advocates want to:
Operate with taxpayers’ money, but without control of
Congress.
Move further into areas now served by investor-owned
utilities.
Use unlimited taxpayer-supported funds at taxpayer
subsidized interest rates.
Write Your Congressman
If you feel that such a use of taxpayers’ money is un
wise and that there should be greater economy in govern
ment, write to your Congressman and let him know that
you are opposed to the Federal Electric Bank as proposed
in House Bill H. R. 1400 and related bills.
