EXCESSIVE
HAIR FALL-OUT
Excessive hair fall-out is a
sure sign of trouble for a wom
an. Heavy hair fall-out can be
caused by a scalp problem, or
it can be the sign of brittle hair.
You can easily determine which
is the reason for falling hair by
simply examining the hair.
Brittle, broken hair has no
root. The root is bulbous
shaped. If the root of the hair
is attached, then you can be
fairly certain that some condi
tion of the scalp is causing
your problem. You should re
member, however, that a cer
tain amount of normal hair
falls out regularly, and this
fall-out increases in the Spring
and again in the Fall.
The best way to avoid hair
problems is through regular
professional care. Clean hair is
healthy hair. Telephone today

our beauticians.

A message to our customers
about strikes and your electric service.
Georgia Power Company employees are not on strike.
Increasing sabotage to electric facilities, pickets at
Georgia Power properties and publicity about a strike
may have you wondering what it’s all about. Here are
the facts to clarify the situation.
First, the workers on strike are not company em
ployees, but are construction tradesmen employed by
contracting firms. The strike was called by the North
Georgia Building and Construction Trades Council
after Georgia Power accepted a bid from an open-shop
contractor to build a steam-electric generating plant
in Heard County. The strikers are union employees of
contractors working on other projects being built for
the company.
The open-shop bid was accepted in order to save
some S4O million in construction costs. At approxi
mately the same time, we awarded a contract for the
construction of Wallace Dam, near Eatonton. to a firm
which employs only union workers. In each case, the
low bid was accepted.
The North Georgia Building and Construction
Trades Council docs not have a legal dispute with
Georgia Power, as the Council does not represent any
company employees. However, the strike has been
called in an effort to force the company to agree to
use contractors who will employ only union workmen
on all future power-plant construction. At this time,
some two thousand union workmen have refused to
return to work, and construction has halted at several
major construction projects in north Georgia.
In the past several years the cost per installed
kilowatt of .generating capacity has increased astro
nomically. due in large part to low productivity, high
wages and wasteful work rules that have increased
much more rapidly in the construction industry than

to Fox, the third copy which
also contains capsullzed child

that the parents should then

in other segments of the economy. In fact, the cost of
installing generating capacity, based on the present
rate of increase, would double by 1978.
This company feels it has a duty to do everything pos
sible to keep costs down for the benefit of our customers.
All of our costs ultimately must be reflected in the
price of electric service to customers. Our financial situ
ation already is at a critical stage, and as much as we
dislike it we are having to ask for increases in electric
rates. Continued increases in construction costs could
only result in additional rate increases to our customers
in the very near future.
Although there is no evidence to connect the inci
dents. there has been widespread sabotage to company
property since the strike began. Vital electric service
to thousands of people has been interrupted. Lives
have been endangered as gunfire by persons unknown
has knocked out substations serving a hospital and a
nursing home, police and fire stations and traffic con
trol systems.
Such actions by irresponsible unknown persons are
continuing almost daily and have become a threat to
the public. In addition, the damage to company prop
erty has run into many thousands of dollars, and this
expense, too. eventually must be reflected in the cost
of electric service.
As a result of the sabotage, a reward of SIO.OOO
has been offered for information leading to the arrest
and conviction ol persons unlawfully damaging com
pany property.
It is most regrettable that our customers, as well
as our employees, have become victims in this serious
situation. We hope these facts have helped to set the
matter straight.
