Dear Friends,
Our friends at home must
feel that it takes the Congress
an unduly long time to get or-
ganized. I share this feeling.
We have now been in session for
more than two weeks. We do
not, as I write this (Friday, Jan.
20) yet have an official list of
the new members of our com-
mittee. Until these members are
named we cannot even begin to
organize. In January there al-
ways seems to be so much time.
By July it is always evident
that we need more time, and by
September it generally develops
that we will not finish our work.
I wish it were possible to get
the Congress off to a fast start.
Apparently, the first item of
real debate In our committee
will be the REA Supplemental
Financing Bill — now known as
HR 1400. We discussed this bill
at length last year. Many mem-
bers were reluctant to meet and
resolve the issue.
I doubt that they will find
it any easier this year. Almost
everyone says that he “believes
in” REA, but many people can-
not seem to realize that REA-
financed systems simply must
keep their plants modern, just
as the private utilities must,
and to do this takes lots of
money. Most of those who have
been most critical of REA say
that we should not put so much
government money into the
program or at so low a rate of
interest. This bill would move
the REA borrowers away from
the use of government money.
The banks which this bill es-
tablishes would get money from
private sources and lend it at
least twice what REA is now
charging. The government
would only advance the original
capital and would be paid out,
just as has happened in the
case of the Land Banks.
The power companies often
Forgive us our debts.
—(Matt. 6:12)
Why is forgiveness so im-
portant? Why did Jesus put
so much stress on it? Forgive-
ness is important, because it
is a way in which we can ex-
press greater love, divine
love. Our human love finds it
easy to love those of whom we
approve, but we should make
an effort to love enough to
forgive those who have been
unloving toward us. God says,
"As you forgive, so are you
forgiven.”

contend that they can sell pow-
er cheaper than the co-ops can
produce it and that the govern-
ment should not lend money to
build a generating plant under
such circumstances. I agree that
we should not lend government
money if in fact the companies
can and will supply the needed
power cheaper than it can be
produced. To avoid this the bill
provides that before any gen-
erating loan can be made (ex-
cept in certain unusual circum-
stances) that the prospective
borrower shall advertise for firm
bids to supply the needed power
at the needed spot and shall
submit the bids to the Electric
Bank. The board of directors of
the bank must then study the
bids and the proposed plant and
cannot make a loan if they find
that a power company has ac-
tually offered to sell the needed
power cheaper. The bill also
provides that if the companies
want to they can have a direct
appeal to the Court of Appeals.
This seems to me to be fair to
both parties — but some of the
power companies seem afraid to
make a real firm bid. Apparent-
ly, they want to simply claim
they would undersell the pro-
posed generating plant with no
obligation to actually do so.
T look for a sharp, hard fight
on this issue, but whatever the
result, I hope we can dispose of
it promptly and pass on to oth-
er matters.
Teaching A Child
To Handle An
Emergency
A young child must be taught
to think for himself, not just to
react by habit if he is able to
cope with the unexpected, say
family life education specialists
at Texas A&M University.
Although demands upon the
preschool youngster must be
kept within reason, childcare
authorities, including the Child
Study Association of America,
agree that the average 4-year-
old is capable of comprehending
much more than his parents
usually believe he can.
In teaching a child to handle
emergencies, do not frighten
him. Take a calm, matter-of-
fact attitude in explaining
emergency situations, even if
you may be anxious about them
yourself. For instance, in ex-
plaining these situations, do not
offer sordid details or create a
horror story.
Every young child should
know what to do in these spe-
cific situations:
1) If lost In town: he should
be able to repeat his name, ad-
dress and telephone number to
an adult. A small child should
also carry some form of identi-
fication such as a bracelet or
tag on his clothing with his
name and address on It. Train
him not to panic, but to try to
seek a policeman or fireman for
help.
2) If lost in the country: he
should remain in the open
where he can be found more
easily. If an older child is lost
w hile hiking in the woods, teach
him to pick one direction and
walk until he comes to a road
or path. He should be able to
keep track of his direction by
knowing that the sun rises in
the east and sets in the west.
3) If Bitten by an animal:
train your child never to pet a
strange animal. But, if bitten,
and no adult is immediately
available for help, teach him to
wash the wound thoroughly un-
der running water and to dry it
with a clean gauze. He should
report the injury to an adult as
soon as possible and try to
identify the animal.
4) If fire breaks out at home:
a child should know two escape
routes from his bedroom. He
should also know how to call the
fire department and how to re-
port the exact location of the
house. The National Fire Pro-
tection Association says child-
ren as young as four have been
successfully taught some simple
responses in case a fire breaks
out during the night. These in-
clude not to open bedroom
doors, but to stay near an open
window awaiting rescue and, on
a predetermined signal from a
parent, to crawl out a window.
Repeated rehearsals are import-
ant because a child’s impulse is
to run to his parents in a fire
emergency, an act that could
trap him in the flames.
5) If clothes catch on fire:
train the child to immediately
drop to the ground and smother
the flames by rolling about. If a
rug or coat is handy, he should
wrap these about his body.
6) If approached by strangers:
many hundreds of boys and
girls are victimized each year
because they are not taught to
beware of strangers who ap-
proach them In public places.
Teach children not to become
friendly with strangers ahd
never under any circumstances
to accompany a stranger to a
lonely place.
Children should not accept
automobile rides, candy, money
or other favors from a stranger.
