The commissioners, in a discussion with company officers last spring, were told that K.U. has so greatly increased its 'local Investment that the original valuation on which Paducah sought to acquire prop- ertles was much too low.

The commis- sloners turned this fact back upon the company with the perfectly logical ques- tlon of why, then, shouldn't assessments be raised? They were raised. The board members should feel gratified at this accomplishment, and are entitled to a great deal of credit for It. Paducah's city commissioners hope to get some HrectlT from the voters at next November's election, as to whether the ten-year legal effort to enforce Kentucky Utilities Company's compliance -with the purchase-referendum clause oMts franchise Is to be ed. Perhaps this can be accomplished by certifying to the ballot a special appropriation ordinance for the purpose. The commissioners attitude Is that they do not feel free to continue appropriating -money to meet the company's exhaustive legal evasions without knowing how the public feels about it We agree they are entitled to such an expression, and hope they can find lawyers smart enough to show them how to do It, without having K.U.

The Kremlin1 wants the West to compound Soviet aggressions by acquiescing in them and thus strengthening them. This Is part of the Soviet, definition of co-existence.

It is not a part of the American definition, either of the government or of the American people. We are being frequently warned and rightly that a change of Soviet tactics does not mean that the Kremlin is abandoning its objective of Communist world domination. It also deserves to be put on the record, think, that the American people are not abandoning their objective of world which rneans the liberation of all people who have had Communist dictatorship Imposed upon them by force Including the Russians.

Mr. Sargeant rightly cites his committee as the most tangible "expression of the friendship of the American people for the peoples of the Soviet Union" and. this group of Americans counts Itself the greatest possible friend of the Russian people because it Is "dedicated to the liberation of aU mankind from the scourge of Soviet power."

After all, all they are suggesting is that real authority should be vested in popularly chosen local councils, that guarantees of free speech and free assembly should be protected, that the peasant should have a Just share of the fruits of his labor, that free education, freedom of worship and the lfke are the Just due of the people. personally we had never thought too much of the balloon barrage of freedom leaflets dropped behind the Iron Curtain. It was way, of courseof getting our material to some, people In Red dominated countries, but we doubted if many would be converted to our way of thinking.

For the money they sigh lightly. For the sliver they grieve deeply.

The confidence that people place In chance acquaintances about whose background they know nothing, in reports and articles which are not substantiated by fact and In teachings which are seldom checked for their truthfulness, Is ample proof that many are ready to believe, however misplaced their faith may be. It should be a strong reminder that we ought to show much more speed and seal in reaching God's truth those who are taken in by error and deceit because no one takes the trouble to bring them anything else.

Though no one msy name It there it is Just the same, for it Is a part of ua as much as the hair on our head. Also it is what ties us to others and gives us our reputation. Goodwill is that silent something that makes people believe In you and trust you. In business, the first Marshall Field once said: "Ooodwill is the one and only asset that competition cannot undersell nor destroy." Certainly that statement applies aa truly to individual character. The goodwill behind name cannot be wiped out, nor can it be discounted.

Many a man has been elected to political office more because of the goodwill represented br his name and reputation than for his known political beliefs. That was the cslse in regard to Abraham Lincoln, President Eisenhower, and many a man in public life. Grist And Grits.

At one time, his friends decided that he needed relaxation from his studies.

They persuaded him to pay his attentions to a pretty young lady who was quite willing to take his mind off matters of gravity. JMewton warned her that his mind had a habit of "Straying, but she didn't take bis warning seriously. For several weeks, they got along famously and the romance, madt excellent progress. Then one night this two were seated on a divan, gazing Into each other's eyes. Newton, puffing gently on his pipe, sighed contentedly.

With tender affection, he raised her hand to his lips, intending to kiss her fingers. Suddenly a vacant look came into his fact and his mind began to wander. Instead of kissing her finger, he used it to stir the lighted tobacco in his pipe, With a startled yelp the terrified young lady leaped -to her feet and fled from the room. That ended the romance, and Newton went back to his tree, to watch the uncomplaining apples.
