thus influencing the action which
was to lead him to such heights in
the Navy.
Graduating from ihe Naval Acad

RECONSTRUCTION
By FATHER JEROME, O. S. B.
Saint Leo, Florida
On avenue and in alley
Lies heavily a load
No Roosevelt can lighten
Until we sign this code.
“We, The United States and
Experiments unknown,
Attest, all hopes will perish
That crave for break alone.’’
ROOSEVELT SONG WINS
WIDESPREAD ATTENTION
Louis Joseph Maloof of
Rome, Ga., Its Author
ROME, Ga. — A song, “Praises to
the Chief”, dedicated to - President

by Louis Joseph Maloof, of St.
Mary’s parish here, was sung at the
Roosevelt Birthday Dinner here on
January 30 by vote of the Chamber
of Commerce; it was also sung at
Shorter College and in the public
Schools of Rome that day. A special
copy, printed on parchment with gold
molding, was sent to the President

BRIDGES-HARTY
Father Harty Officiates at
Marriage of His Brother
ATLANTA, Ga.—The Rev. Wm. J.
Harty, S. J.. of Macon officiated at
the marriage here late in January of
Miss Eugenia Bridges, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Russell Bridges, of At
lanta, and Joseph Harty, son of
William J. Harty and the late Mrs.
Harty of Savannah. Mrs. Harty is a
graduate of the Girls’ High School of
Atlanta and Hollins College. Virgiina,
where she received her A. B. degree;
she is a member of leading Georgia
families. Mr. Harty, an alumnus of
Georgetown University, is also
prominently connected in Georgia;
Father Harty is his brother. After
the wedding trip Mr. and Mrs. Harty
will live in Atlanta, where Mr. Harty
is associated with a leading cotton
firm.
Surviving Admiral Raby are his
wife, who was formerly Miss Jane
Gallaghan, whom he married Oc
tober 12, 1897. Surviving also are two
daughters, Mrs. Jane McCombe Cast-
ner, and Miss Marie Louise Raby,
and a son, Lieutenant John Raby, U.
S. N., naval aviator, who flew from
Francisco, Calif., in an effort to at
tend his father’s funeral, but who
was delayed by weather en route.
Admiral Raby, during his stay in
Charleston, won the esteem of all
classes. Both newspapers editorially
lauded him and mourned his death
as a naval officer, as a Charleston
ian and as a man. He was an active
member of the chamber of com
merce, the Kiwanis Club and other
organizations, and the chamber of
commerce was in the midst of pre
parations for a great demonstration
for him on the occasion of his leav
ing for San Francisco when news of
his death came. He commanded the
Charleston Navy Yard during its
most critical period, and the decision
of the Navy Department to expand
its facilities instead of transferring
its activities elsewhere was largely
due to his efforts. He had invited
the members of the Kiwanis Club to
be his personal guests at lunch the
Thursday of the week in which he
died. Numerous officials and edu
cators voiced their grief at his pass
ing statements published in the local
press.
After the salute of guns at the
Navy Yard, the remains of Admiral
Raby were escorted to the Cathedral
of St. John the Baptist, city and
county officers acting as an escort.
At the Cathedral, naval, Marine and
army units acted as an escort of
honor. The services were delayed in
hope that Admiral Raby’s son would
be able to arrived in time, but his
plane was forced down. The Rev.
M. J. Reddin, pastor of St. John’s
Church at the Navy Yard, officiated,
assisted by the clergy of the city.
The remains were then sent to
Washington. D. C„ for interment at
Arlington; the Very Rev. James B.
Barron, C. SS. R„ superior of the Re-
demptcrist House of Studies at the
Catholic University of America, a
personal friend of Admiral Raby,
officiating. Pallbearers were Ad
miral W. H. Standley, chief of Naval
Operations; Rear Admiral H. H.
Christy, Rear Admiral C. H. T.
Lowndes, Rear Admiral S. E. W. Kit-
telle, Rear Admiral R. F. Nicholson.

means
FREE
ELECTRICITY
When this Company’s advertise'
ments, or one of our employes, tell you
that the new low electric rates provide
FREE ELECTRICITY for those who
will use it — they mean exactly what
they say.
It’s no catch-phrase; not merely an
emphatic way of calling attention to the
lowness of your new rates.
Suppose you go to the grocery store,
buy a bushel of potatoes, pay less for
them than you have been paying, and
then the grocer throws in FREE an
extra peck of potatoes.
That’s exactly the way your new
electric rates work.
A “package” of electricity costs you
LESS than you have been paying for
the same amount, and you can get some
extra electricity thrown in FREE if
you want it.
You are entitled to FREE ELEO
TRICITY in any month of 1934 when
you use more electricity than you used
in the corresponding month of 1933.
Let’s illustrate:
If you used 70 kilowatt hours in Feb'
ruary, 1933, it would have cost you
$4.07 under the old rates.
If you use 70 kilowatt hours THIS
February, it will cost you only $3.67,
But that’s not all.
You can use 16 MORE kilowatt
hours*—a total of 86 kilowatt hours —
without adding one penny to your bill
of $3.67. In this example, your bill for
72, 74, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84 er 86 kilo-’
watt hours remains $3.67. You pay no
more for 86 than you do for 70—the
16 kilowatt. hours are yours for the
using.
THAT is free electricity. The
amount of it available to different cus*
tomers varies, depending upon the
amount of electric service each one uses.
And when you “use up” your allotment
of free electricity, you automatically
earn the new Inducement Rate—the
lowest rate of all.
* Those 16 kilowatt hours will provide over
250 hours of additional light (from a single
60-watt bulb or divided among a number of
them)—or operate a washing machine 80 solid
hours—or a vacuum cleaner 65 hours—or do
any other of scores of useful jobs around th\
home.
GEORGIA POWER
COMPANY
Every home can USE its free kilowatt hours. Using them does
not necessarily require the purchase of new appliances, either.
More and better light, freer use of the appliances you now,have,
use of appliances which have been on the shelf, the peace of mind
that comes with not having to “skimp” on the use of current —
these are a f?w of the immediate benefits your free electricity can
give you and the members of your family.
Electricity Noiv Costs Less Than Ever Before!
