Abstract
AN article by A. G. H. Dent (Electrician, August 21) surveys the necessary and probable trend of rural electrification and research in Great Britain during the post-war construction period. The author opens with areference to the national education in food values and uses. The national neglect of agriculture is ended, and any positive reconstruction policy must incorporate broad measures of industrial decentralization of agricultural development and of food-or health-education. The article proceeds to define the position and responsibility of the public utility company in such a scheme, stressing that the words 'public utility' imply usefulness to the public as a national service forming an essential part ofthe social structure.
