"Considering some of the mis-
information that has been bandied
about," the senator told the 5,000
delegates, "isn't it interesting to
note the tremendous new market
you yourselves have created for
the private utilities?"
He said in 1954 rural electric
co-ops bought about 48 per cent
of their total power from private
utilities.
"Some people have been spread-
ing the word that the co-ops are
taking over the private utilities,"
he said. "Nothing could be farther
from the truth."

Daniel Predicts

WASHINGTON i-Sen. Price
Daniel of Texas said today he is
confident the Senate will puss the
Harris-Fulbright Bill to exempt
vice president and treasurer.
These officials will be announced
and will take office at the an-
nual banquet meeting.
President Tucker concluded by
asking all Chamber members to
fill out their ballots and reser-
vation cards as soon as possible
and return them in the stamped,
self-addressed envelope to the
Chamber office. The deadline is
February 6.
and Monday,
Daniel is a leader for the law.
Opponents contend the measure
will be defeated. Both sides say
the vote will be close.
Daniel said his latest count
showed six senators haven’t made
up their minds. He predicted the
measure wil carry “even if all six
of them should oppose it." but con-
ceded "the final outcome will be
close.”

Sen Lehman (D-NY) told the

the United States.”
Lehman said the producers
"have openly stated their intention
to establish prices of around 25
cents" for a thousand cubic feet
of gas compared to the present
average wellhead price of 10 cents.
Consumer rates will go up 300

the National Foundation for In-

some figures that we think are
rather interesting. They show the
amount of money raised through
the March of Dimes each year for
the past five years; the amount
that was designated to be kept
in the County; actual expendi-
tures in the county each year, and
the amount that had to be bor-
rowed each year to carry on the
work done. - 1 "---— —-
The breakdown is as follows:
1951—Raised $1,962.16; county
kept $830 08; spent $2,521".77, and
had to borrow from the National
Foundation $2,000.
