I was injured in an automobile wreck
on Feb. 21, 1933, while serving my
route. The injury was caused by
being run into by a bread truck run
ning at reckless speed, and which in
jured my spine, which, of course, af
fects my whole body, hearing, mem
ory, nerves, etc. I am now in an awful
fix. 1 have permission to use a driver
during the winter months and on real
bad days I do not attempt to get out
1 have signed up to retire in Jure, if
I can hold out to that time (on 30
years’ service); if not, I will retire
on permanent disability.
I expect to keep up my member- I
ship in the association, also my wife’s
in the auxiliary. Brother Ben L
Whitesburg, and Bro. G. L. Bell, ol
Jacksonville, certainly have my sym-
path, for I can realize just how they
feel, and they only can realize my
condition, for 1 am truly a wreck.
I have certainly enjoyed my work
as a rural mail carrier, and the posl
office department has been good to
.me.
| I hope to be able to attend all dis
trict and state conventions of our ah
Isociations, and certainly will if any
j health will permit it after I am re-
ired.
I also do not see how 1 could get
■along without The Atlanta Journal,
in which is published our news eol-
ummns, .or the National Rural Letter
Carrier, published in Washington.
Bro. Wall, your page in the Journal
is just fine and I think the carriers
of Georgia should show their appre.
ciation by at least taking the paper.
I will try to write again some time.
Tell the carriers of Georgia to pray
for me, as 1 need their prayers.
Yours very truly,
Robert W. Beard,
Carrier No. 1, Bluffton, Ga.
Comment: We are glad to incor
porate this splendid letter from Bno.
i Beard in our news columns, but regret
to learn that he continues to suffer
.from the effects of the collision he
]had last February with a bread truck
while he was serving his route. We
i appreciate very much the kindly ex
pressions of this good brother regard
ing the news columns, and hope that
I the brethren will heed his timely ad
vice. I am sure that Brother Beard
would be glad to hear from some of
the brethren about over the state, for
when we seem to be down'and out, a
cheery message or a word of en-
couragment is worth more than any
thing else that could be done; so let
me urge the brethren to drop Bro.
Beard a few lines as the time will
permit.

FREE
ELECTRICITY
- uusi e/xajclhf tka£
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 “pacl-age” 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 ELEC'
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 or 86 kilo*
watt hours remains $3.67. You pay no
more for 86 than 1 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 t6 kilowatt hours will provide over
S50 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
anti other of scores of useful jobs around the
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 few of the immediate benefits your free electricity can
give you and the members of your family.
