I remember how long the Irish contended before Ireland was finally divided. I do not concede that the presi dent, the Congress or the supreme oourt may act at will regardless of the Constitution. If they may, then let tear up the Constitu tion, and refrain from any far cical appeal to it The Supreme Court arrogates to itself authority to nullify an executive act on a law passed by Congress. But who set the court above all the other departments? The court itself so assumes su preme power. Well who is to de cide whe nthe Supreme Court is in error? Must we in a coopera tive union of Sovereign States be without recourse? May the president Use the arm ed forces as he wills? May the congress pre-empt any field or subject? We are urgently in need of clear difinitions of the powers, privileges and prerogatives of the three departments of the govern ment. * * * Observe how the private power companies cooperate to assume full power throughout vast areas. 4 Tn a 32-state area, from Penn sylvania to Montana and from North Dakota to Florida, some 100 electric utilities, all volun tary members of a gigantic Inter connected Systems Group, work hand in hand to insure that their customers always have reliable service. The group is defined as an in terconnection rather than a pow er poll because each system re tains its corporate identity, and does not have contracts with all the other systems. However, here are a number of pools within the group, and most systems have at least one, and usually several contracts with neighbors. Operating cooperation between two systems not under contract to one another is entirely on a voluntary basis. No system can be required to cooperate in the over-all operation of the group, but the benefits of interconnec tion are recognized to be so great that each wants the operation to be successful. An example of power difficulty is the loss of generating equip ment, due to mechanical or elec trical failure, resulting in a grad ual or sudden drop in power. system, in these circumstan- away, as its customers are demanding. In such a case help from the out side is imperative, and is imme diately and automatically avail able. Each system within the Inter connected Systems Group pro- vides the power required for its customers’ load ami operates its generating capacity in such man ner so as not to impose a burden on the other members of the group. A system experiencing an emergency receives assistance, but only long enough to allow the system in trouble to make ar rangements for the power neces sary to overcome the deficiency. Each system insures that it has adequate transmission facilities to deliver and receive emergency power in addition to contract power. Transmission tie lines are equipped with telemetering to the individual system’s control center to measure continuously the flow of power in or out. Power flow information is use ful to the system operator in de termining conditions on his sys tem, and it is also used to ac tuate control equipment which regulates generation, to check the effectiveness of load control and regulating equipment, tie lines are equipped with kilowatt hour meters. Hourly readings are made available to the system ope rator. The question arises: ‘How can the power supplying and receiv ing equipment and operating per sonnel of all the other systems, some of which may be 2,000 miles let's 90 to Church Sunday 1 hK Scr.e>> of Messages In Published ICach Week b> the Following Clinton Firms In the Interest Of Increasing Church Attendance.

Almost every frightening step of childhood is marked by a singular emblem of trust. A child’s trembling fingers grope upward. A parent’s warm grasp is felt. And youth steps forward into new paths, fear melting into confidence. God must count on parental hands to lead His little ones to Him. For religious training is part of the vast unknown until Mother and Dad begin to lead their child each week to Church. Test God counts heavily on our hands. There k no one else into whose palm our child’s fingers slip so readily. No others can teach the early lessons of faith and prayer so simply, nor illustrate them so vividly at home. Indeed, that loving hand of trait which leads a child to Church seems in turn to be clasped by the hand 0/ God. _ PodT Towky nTWotky Wi . r-v-; ■ { /V 3* Frida eTe mw-a 1:1-7 j ..

We are becoming soft. In the days of bikes and butter churns, there never was s lack of exercise to keep grandma and grandpa physcially fit. But then along came cars, supermarkets, and push-button living. Because of today’s easy life, some scien tists tell us that we’re in danger of having some of our muscles wither away completely through lack of use. It’s happened before, believe it or not! For example, you have a muscle, inherited from your cave man ancestor so that would permit you to wiggle your ears were it not for the fact that the muscle has beenweaken- ed through centuries of idleness. While It Is no longer Important to be able to wiggle your ears, a happy, successful life does depend on the retention of good muscle tone and coordination. No one really wants to go back to churning or doing the family laundry on a wash board, but with our modern conveniences we sometimes wish that we didn’t find ourselves huffing and puffing after climbing a flight of stairs as many of us do. A lack of fit ness is one of the inconveniences that goes along with the modern conveniences, the result of an era whose national sport consists of slumping in an overstuffed chair and looking at a television tube. (With a handy little remote con trol device, we don’t even have to get up to change channels!) The effect of all this soft liv ing was dramatically noted few years back when it was dis covered that a startling number of young men called up for ser vice just couldn’t make the grade physically. In another recent test on sample of youngsters in the U. S., nearly half failed rudimentary physical fitness tests. Noting that the situation seem ed to be getting worse, Presi dent Kennedy called for a turn about in the trend and one of his first acts as president was the creation of his Council cm Youth Fitness. A program of exercises to build strength, agility, and coordination is being introduced in school systems in several states as a result of the Council’s work.” ■ ■ —— e How does this impress you? We shall increase the rate of postage; we have, and shall have, neavy national aencits, yet we have billions of dollars to throw away all over the word? The throw-away each year might have balanced our national budget. It is difficult to reconcile this prodigality with the sound, com mon horse sense that once char acterized our people. a a a It is distinctively refreshing to remember that one thing; one common commodity of daily life, mare ekpaniiva, or. at least, ap preciably higher. How was such a miracle accomplished? By ex traordinary. maapgsmeat, the long vision and immediate grasp of all the fundamentals of ope ration. v Although the power companies are heavily taxed an dstrtegsntly regulatedjthey serve as examples of excellent management ia a day when so many other concerns raise prices in order to survive. The power managers are alert all the time to bring about econo mies and lower rates. They are inspiring examples of thrift and capability.
