THE IMPORTANCE OF COAL The favorable position that coal holds in the national economy is emphasized by the recent critical shortage of fuel oil and gasoline in the United States. J. A. Krug, secretary of the interior recently asked congress to start a $9,000,000,000 program to build an American synthetic oil industry, and simultaneously, the interstate commerce commission recommended heavier appropriations to develop oil from coal and shale. Present petroleum reserves if used at the present rate will last but 15 more years, while there is enough coal in Carbon county alone to supply the world for the next 5000 years. Owners of industrial plants and homes who were so quick to change over to oil or gas during the past few years are now beginning. to realize their mistake. Shortage of fuel oil and gas has hamstrung many plants, and the owners have found that the American people now work 14 weeks out of the year say from January 1 to April 7 to maintain the federal government in the manner to which it has become accustomed. cost is greater than coal. Carbon county already has a plant for processing of coal that the operators claim is efficient and present plans call for expansion, not only of the plant, but establishment of several others throughout the county. Private research and operation is almost always better and cheaper than when undertaken by public money. In any event the future looks bright, indeed, for coal. HAM) IN HAND THEY CO Very much more is heard about the high cost of living than the high cost of government. Yet the two go hand in hand. bewr people realize that they pay much more to be governed than they do to eat and that high government costs are one of the greatest contributing factors to the high cost of food, shelter and practically everything else they buy. satisf itnry Prsm lb Filet ef Tbt Sue and Tb e K e us Adiocote Carbon county will have a fair in 1928 and the same will be one week earlier than last season, according to the meeting of the fair board Thursday night at the Carbon county court house.

For years, Pontiac has led its field in many of the basic aspects of motor car character. It has been outstanding in appearance with its distinctive Silver Streak styling.and beautiful bodies by Fisher. It has been consistently praised for its performance based on smooth, powerful six and eight cylinder engines. It has a record for long life and dependability unsurpassed in the automotive industry. And now, in the 1948 Pontiac, comes revealing proof of Pontiacs continuing leadership. Not only is the new Pontiac far more beautiful and luxurious but it offers, as optional equipment on all models, the famous GM Hydra-Mati- c Drive! This mechanical which eliminates the clutch pedal and makes shifting masterpiece, entirely auto-made, is one of the greatest contributions to driving ease and safety in the history of the motor car. And Pontiac is the worlds lowest-price- d car to make it available to the motoring public. There are fifteen Pontiac models each more beautiful and more luxurious than ever and each an outstanding value. You are cordially invited to see and inspect them today. Elton Billings Mrs. A. N.

THAT We have no admiration for many of John L. Lewis tactics but there are times I refer to your letter of January Nineteen, re appointment of a Coal Advisory Council. I suggest as follows: 1. It is questionable that you possess the authority to designate yourself or anyone else for the task of designing a pattern of production, distribution or regulation of the bituminous coal industry. It is the outstanding example of an American industry doing an adequate production job without cost to taxpayers and independent of bureaucratic advice. 2. You have previously demonstrated your total lack of ability to comprehend the problems of the coal industry, as well as your complete lack of concern for its requirements. For two years you have done nothing to aid the industry in securing machinery for replacements or railroad cars to transport its product to market. Fifty million tons of production were lost during the calendar year 1947 through such inaction. 3. I can conceive of nothing more anemic or futile than a Coal Industry Advisory Council attempting to give advice to you. private You have had such a committee to advise you on oil, and it is to be fervently hoped that the consumers of coal will be spared the present unhappy fate of tiie consumers of oil. 4. The coal industry has no present problem affecting production that management and men in the industry cannot meet if provided adequate mining equipment and n. Congress has not bestowed upon you the power to establish controls for this industry. Recently you asked for such power, including the power to freeze wages, which was a gratuitous insult to the men employed in the mining industry. In the absence of the necessity for such a committee and congressional authority empowering you to act, which I am sure congress will withhold from you, the undersigned in the exercise of common sense r&asoning is forced to decline your invitation. southeastern stss Bracken Lee and Ross Thomas D.
