It depends on how you measure.
It's only a fisherman's guess as to the size of "the
one that got away.” But there’s no guesswork when
it conies to the value of your electric service. Simply
consider what electricity does for what it costs.
For example, just two cents' worth of electricity
will make 100 slices of cinnamon toast. Or wash
eight loads of dirty jeans. Or vacuum 36 rugs covered
with sneaker prints and puppy-dog hair.
Even if you don’t have 36 rugs to vacuum, elec
tricity is a whopping big value. In fact, our average
price per residential kilowatt-hour is well below the
national average. And has been for 40 years.
In time, inflation gets to all dollars, including
the powerful dollar spent for electricity. But when
ever you measure the value you get against the price
you pay, we think you'll agree: electricity is the big
gest bargain in your family budget. By far.

Mrs. Donaldson
joins staff
of library
Mrs. Jim Donaldson, Jr., has
been appointed children’s
specialist for the Flint River
Regional Library. Her duties
will include the selecting of
books and materials, coor
dinating programs, and plan
ning special activities and
events for children in the re
gion. She will also do some
public relations work.
Coming from a similar posi
tion with die Okefenokee Re
gional Library in Waycross,
Mrs. Donaldson began work
June 1. Mr. Donaldson, who will
join the Spalding County school
system in the fall, will arrive
shortly.
Mrs. Donaldson holds M.A.
and M.L.S. degrees from Pea
body College in Nashville, and
recently completed an Advanc
ed Master’s in library science at
Florida State University in
Tallahassee. In addition to her
previous work as a children’s

experience as a children’s
librarian, and teacher.
Storytelling has always been
an important part of her pro
grams for children. “I enjoy
this direct contact with young
children,” she said. “It is my
strong belief that good storytell
ing experiences instill in child
ren the beginning of a love for
good books. For many, it is their
only opportunity to know this.”
She loves music and has used
it often in sessions with small
children. A trained vocalist, she
has contributed this talent to
civic and church organizations
through programs and recitals.
“We believe our region will
benefit from her services, and
we are so happy to have Mrs.
Donaldson on our staff,” Direc
tor Walter Murphy stated.
