...banks of the Flushing River. Husky lumberjacks like "Big Bad John" Miller saw and chop through giant timber in jig time, logrollers joust each other into the amber waters, and a death-defying tree-topper climbs a Douglas fir to do the Charleston 110 ft. up-without a net...
...reason is that, despite its need to develop educational and agricultural resources, Northern Rhodesia is inherently richer than its two neighbors-thanks to fabulous copper reserves that net $336 million a year.

In terms of return on net cost of plant, the usual gauge of profitability in utilities, A.T.&T. earns somewhat more than the average: 7.2%. The General Services Administration, representing the Government as a user in regulatory hearings, has recommended that Bell's return should be limited to 6.6%, and the staff of the Federal Communications Commission, which regulates the Bell...
