Show tAGE FOUR THE BINGHAM BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 1954 I FEATHER IN HER HAT By Evelyn Witter JARCIA TOLLSON placed the .ed feather on the red beret with a vengeance. Tonight, she de-cided, she would explode her bomb-shell at her husband and the two boys. It wasn't that she didn't love them. She adored them. It was that the was tired of doing and doing fox thern without thanks or appreciation. Now she decided to "do" for herself. She'd heigh off to New York and have herself a time. See the places they were al-ways talking about on TV. Of course Carl and the boys might object to having to take care cf themselves for a couple of weeks, arid to her spending the bank ac-count, but after all she had given up a new spring outfit for baseball togs, and had done without a win-ter coat for meat In the freezer. Lately she'd finished three hand-made Western shirts after hours of painstaking stitching. If they bad said "Thanks!" she would have felt It was all worth It. Just then the back door slammed open and Jerry and Jack breezed In. Marcia- - realized they looked older than their early teen ages. She had done well by them. They were taller than she and the turtle-necke- d T shirts, hugging their bodies, showed muscular develop-ment. "HI Momf" they greeted her with grins. "Dad home yet? Why don't you turn on TV?" Jack switched the knob. Marcia had to smile at the sight ot them. They were real-ly good boys. Just too unapprecia-Uve- . She heard Carl come up the back s.eps and 'put his lunch pail on the kitchen table. "Hi ya, honey!" he called. Carl was a flee man, but he did take her too much for granted . . . "Got the right channel?" Carl checked the set and sat down. "What's this program you want to see so badly?" Marcia turned toward Carl. She thought there was a mist In his eyes, but she couldn't be certaip because he looked down. gave her hand a little squeeze and said: "Wait and see." The announcer began: "And now Rootle-TooU- presents your Good Scout program. Each week Rootie-Tootl-chooses the best letter of a hundred-fift- words or less, telling who is the best good scout you know. The winning Best Scout re-ceives a round trip to New York.; a suite at the Waldorf, a complete outfit designed by none other than Howe and Lopas, dinner . . ." Marcia sighed. Even the whole bank account couldn't go that far for her. But go she would. The announcer was taking a pa-per from his pocket. He was say-ing: "This week's winning letter reads as follows: 'We nominate our mother who is the best Good Scout any boys ever had. She does more for us than is necessary In the usual line cf duty. We can bring one of the fellows or the whole team home after games, and she always' lays out a spread. But then she always says "yes" to us If it is at all possible. She likes to go places and wear pretty clothes, but she takes care of us first, which means sometimes she goes without. Her newest good deed is three cowboy shirts all made by hand We'd like to say "Thanks" in a big way by having her elected, the best Good Scout of the week.' This letter is signed ... Jerry and Jack Toll soil ' " Marcia sat numbed.' The blood pounded through her in fast throbs. Her heart wanted to sing while the tears of long pent up feelings spilled over and ran down her cheeks. She opened her arms and the boys came into, them, kneel-ing before her with expectant, up-turned faces. Carl kissed her band. Marcia pulled the red feather off the beret in a single yank. "I won't need this now," she giggled. "The real feather In my hat is your love and appreciation!" Happiness flooded over Marcia Tollson as martyredoxn left. 1933 the percentage of Valley farms electrified increased from three to BO per cent; that TVA supplies power to an BO.OOO square mile area, distributing to 1.3 billion consumers; TVA supplied ttu per cent of the pure elemental phos-phorous used by the Armed Forces in World War II; and that in no other region of the country is i great a proportion of total power supply being devoted to national defense primarily to atomic ' plants. cuts and CiOl' policy have F'UND than apparently ear-marked a smaller role for the Tennessee Valley Authority and some observers feel that after 20 year and W billion, TVA has Just about "had it." both on the re-gional and national scene. TVA directly aftects the seven states It touches, which are Ten-nessee. Alabama. Kentucky. Geor-gia, Virginia. North Carolina and MisJissi, pi. It alio supplies power to the Atomic Energy Commis-sion, munitions materials for de-fense, and fertilizers for farm-educatio- n programs in 30 states TVA activities include the gener-ation, transmission and sale of power, resource development, navi-gation, flood control, fertilizer andi munitions programs. Those who feel TVA should be cut down, point out that it started in 1933 with 45 employees and had 22.4U6 workers on its payroll at the end of fiscal year 1S3 In the r period. $2,600,427,000 was made available to TVA through appropriations, and revenues from such TVA operations as sale of power. From this, TVA made gross expenditures of $2.253.8.53.000 and had total assets of $1,149,539,000. Another $210 million was being in-vested in construction and at the start of its 21st year. TVA's 20th dam and seventh steam plant were under construction. TVA supporters, like Sen. James O. Eastland (D Miss) say TVA is on a "starvation diet." The facts are that sharp cuts were made in TVA resource development appro-priations for fiscal 1954. which ends this June 30, which could atTeet TVA effectiveness as a regional agency; that the president made comparatively low new money for TVA In 1935-114- 1.8 mil-lion; that the fiscal 1955 budset In eluded no money for TVA ton struction of new generating units President Eisenhower has cited TVA as an example of "creeping! socialism" and has hinted broadly) that the entire valley has its hand out. While maintaining that he has no desire to damage TVA, the president has shown marked Impa-tience with the fact that too many people too often try to get the Fed-eral Government to expand the power facilities of TVA. He feels that cities in the valley lean too heavily in this direction Instead of growing Industrially on their own strength. Memphis, for example, has been plugging for a steam plant, to be located on the Missis-sippi River above the city. The president's suggestion that they should be able to build their own Is a good indicator of what's in store for TVA in the days ahead TVA backers point out that since ' f::.;;;:, j , A-- f 1 Ji.'" . . l ' -V . v mVP DOt'BT RKf) VICTORY . . .
