nay Dinwiddle, general executive,
tN American Child Health Asso
ciation, which was formed a year
■ago under the presidency of Her
bert Hoover, definitely takes its
place as one of the most pro
gressive health agencies ever
formed in this country.
' Formed by an amalgamation of
the American Child Hygiene As
sociation and the Child Health
Organization of America, the Am
erican Child Health Association
began its career last January. In
heriting a yearly expenditure of
$200,000, it now plans for service
retiring an outlay of $425,000.*
In support of such a budget it has
already, doubled its membership.
Backing the association, more
over, is the American Relief Ad
ministration, which in the light of
its experience in , organization
gathered during tight years’ work
in Europe, is giving helpful
sistance.

Help Us Continue Improvements
In Your Gas Service By
Cooperation
W E have reduced complaints on Gas Service in Athens since
taking charge of the plant from a high maximum to a
very low number. We desire to eliminate ALL com
plaint by rendering SATISFACTORY SERVICE, and to this end
we are mailing cards to our customers asking them to file any
complaint on their Gas Service that they may have by returning
these c^rds to our office.
If satisfactory service is being rendered we will appreciate the
card being returned to us with this so stated.
YOU CAN HELP US ELIMINATE ANY TROUBLE
IN YOUR GAS SERVICE BY THIS COOPERATION
Remember—Whenever a gas bill is abnormally large there is
always a complete explanation for it, when all facts and circum
stances connected with the case are known.
For instance, when you find a sudden or unusual increase in
your bill, ask yourself:
Does the bill cover the same number of days as the prev-
. ious bills with which the current bill is compared?
Has the weather been to blame?
Has there been sickness in the house?
Have I had company during the period?
Has the stop-cock on the laundry heater been keDt
locked?,
Have .the servants or others used more gas than I am
aware of?
Have any additional gas appliances been installed during
the period?
Have I been wasting gas because my appliances need ad-
jU8tment7
Are there any other circumstances or occurrences that
jvili account for the increase in my bill?
If you recall no reason, come to us first (do not go to your
Tf'SS .w V, '-'I 1 i° °u Ur U u tmost bft* y° u Iocate the cause.
If we find that a mistake has been made we will cheerfully cor
rect the error.
WE ARE HERE TO SERVE YOU.
