Help The Swimming
ect Along
WHILE EVERYONE SEEMS to agree the Lions club spon-
sored swimming project to provide free transportation for all local
school children to and from Blockhouse is a fine idea, it is going
to take more than praise to pay the bill. Since no charges are made
to the children for either the transportation or the swimming pool
tickets, the sponsors must meet certain operating expenses.
These expenses, even with the cooperation of the Blockhouse
pool management, the school district and the Works Projects Ad-
ministration, will probably amount to more than $200 for the
summer.
Compared to the cost of operation of a municipal pool this
figure is small. Divided among Goldendale's more than 400 families
the cost would amount to less than 50c per family. A certain
amount of the money has already been raised through substantial
private contributions.
The sponsors of the swimming project do not wish to collect
from parents who feel they cannot afford to aid in this worthy
program. Children of all parents, those who aid as well as those
who do not, are urged to take advantage of the swimming project.
It is hoped sufficient funds to carry out the project will be
forthcoming voluntarily. Surely if the people of Goldendale can
w ngly contribttte $244.00 in two days for relief work in Europe,
as they did in the recent Red Cross drive, they can afford to invest
a like amount in the health and happiness of the children of their
own community.
Don't delay. Turn in your contribution to the Lions club
swimming project fund today. Whether it's a dime or a dollar it
will be appreciated.

America Had Real Problems
TROUBLED AND UNCERTAIN as world conditions are to-
day we in America, on this, the one hundred and sixty-fourth anni-
versary of our nation's independence, are facing neither the first
nor by any means the most serious crisis in our national history.
Those of us who are inclined tto become hysterical with alarm
over present conditions would do well to read again America's
Declaration of Independence. This declaration severed 13 thinly
pop ated, poor, unorganized American colonies fro m the powerful
and thoroughly dictatorial British empire.
Regardless of what our metropolitan newspapers may head-
line and our campaigning statesmen may say, the situation facing
those Colonial p triots 164 years ago was many times more critical
than America's position today can possibly be.

Stegman Tells Of
R.E.A. Program
Centerville, Washington,
June 19, 1940.
E I)ITOR GOLI)ENI)ALE SENTINEL:
I have prepared the following arti-
cle, and hope you will give it space
in your paper. I feel that it is time
some of the facts concerning the R.
E. A. were brought before the people.
The Rural ~Electrification Admin-
istration was brought into being by
act of congress, some six years ago.
It started with an annual appropria.
teen of forty million dollars. Its pur-
pose, aside from furnishing use for
labor and materials, at a time when
unemployment was worse th~n now,
was to bring electric service into re-
mote areas that were too thinly
peopled to show a profit for the pri.
vats companies. It was a success
from the start, and now there are
hundreds of R. E. A. groups, oper-
ating, or being formed. Ours in
Ktickitat county is one of these. The
R. E. A. does not enter the field as
an operating body, it is purely a
lending agency. It loans money on
20 to 25 year terms, in our case prob-
ably 25 year, at the low rate of 2.73
per cent. It is a direct federal loan,
money appropriated by congress each
year.
After a project is approved, and
the money granted, the district has
no interest payments to make until
30 months later. From this time,
until the end of the fifth year, o~ly
the interest is asked, and from then
to the end of the seventh year, the
amortization charges gradually reach
their full size This scheme allows
the district ample time to get their
revenue built up, as it takes several
years for the customers to get full
equipment for best use. The R. E. A.
asks a mortgage on the line, and the
revenues and on nothing more, and
will not lo~n to a district unless they
~re sure that the venture will pay
out.
Users Pay
Anyone can plainly see that the
consumers of energy in the district,
alone are paying for the system, and
then only as users, not as taxpayers.
This should clear away many doubts
,~nd fears tbat have been expressed
by many, especially the heavy tax.
payers.
The job now before us, is to get
the county signup completed at the
earliest possible date. To date we
have over 450 applications on" file.
We will have over 600 when the
drive is complete. After the signup,
the subscribers are dotted on a le.rge
map, and the It. E. A. engineers use
this as a picture to determine if the
proposal is feasible, also to deter-
mine how many miles of line, and
where to build them. Many have
said to me: "I will wait 'tel the line
is in here." I very positively do know
tha.t some of these will wait a lot
longer before they get "juice." The
engineers will try to reach every one
on the map, and if you are not on the:
map, and your neighbor is, he will:
get the call. It will be, of course,
impossible to serve everyone, but if
you sign you have a chance, and if
it cannot be worked out, the $5.00
meter deposit will be refunded. Also,
if the engineers find that the custom-
er will be more than a thouse, nd feet
from the line, they will correspond
with him, and tell him what the
charge will be, and if the price is too
high, or the patron, for any reason
wishes to withdraw, his deposit will
be refunded.
No Obligations
No one need fear that they are
taking a cha,nce of getting involved
ed in a position that will have an
unhappy ending. The basic difference
between this set up, as I, have out.
lined it, and the private operators,
is this: R. E. A. exists only to serve,
they exist for profit.
The Commissioners axe very anxi-
ous to get this application off to
Washington, early in July. The mon-
ey will be available then, but when
it is exhausted, the later applications
will have to wait until next year. So
it behooves everyone to get in and
help. this thing ~long.
Volunteer committees are in the
field in White Salmon, Goldendale,
l~oosevelt and Btckleton, getting sign.
ers, and collecting the deposits. Any
who have signed previously may send
their deposit to the writer, and a
receipt will be sent promptly. Some
have wondered what becomes of
these deposit~. They are depleted
with the County Treasurer, in the
R. E. A. Meter Deposit Fund, .and are
h~d ~s a guarantee that the bills
will be paid, for two months at least.
The field workers do not get the $5
as a commission. In fact I know of
four different field men who advanc-
ed deposits out of their own pocket
to help along.
The rates, tentative, and subject
to approval by R. E.. A. are as fol-
lows:
Minimum, $2.50, 40 kwh.
~ext 60, kwh, at 4c.

Concerns All
If a user is located beyond a thous_
and feet from the line he will be
asked to beer an additional month-
ly charge. This will be added to the
$2.50, and will be 1~ per cent each
month for five years, of the cost of
the excess line. He will get electri-
city for every cent paid, however.
The county_wide application is in
two parts, the one for Project A,
(:Glenwood-Trout Lake) and Project
B, the rest of the county. The ap-
plication for the A group was sent
off six months ego, it was delayed,
first by the fact that no money was
available, and second by the loss of
some legal papers. These obstacles
have both been met and overcome,
and we are expecting action very
soon, ~s the signup is complete. It
is to the interest of everyone to help
this thing along. Whatever concerns
600 families in one county, should lye
of interest to the rest of the citizens.
We all need electric service. If
we are to keep our American stand_ :
ard of living, we must keep going
forward, we should look homewardi
rather than across the sea. We should
equip ourselves with every tool and
device ~t our command, to make life
easier and better. We should join
the United States, and cooperate with
those who already have put their
shoulder to the wheel.
Sincerely,
HENRY STEGMAN, Co-ordinator.
