Reddy Kilowatt is ’ a busy
little fellow. You never see or
hear him, but he’s always on
the job. In the average home
today, he actually does the work
of 34 servants . . . cooking,
washing clothes, refrigerating,
and even entertaining with radio
and TV programs plus many,
many other chores.
Check your own home, and
you’ll agree that Reddy’s your
most dependable servant, work
ing ’round-the-clock every day
of the year.
\s^ff
Best of all, Reddy docs all of
these jobs for less money now
than before World War 11.
Actually, your average annual
cost per kilowatt hour for elec
tricity in the home is 33% less
than it was in 1939.
While the cost of living has
been going UP, the cost of
electricity has been going
DOWN. That’s why we say,
. . . “Electricity is the Biggest
Bargain in your family Budget.”

Economist Sees
Rise in Georgia
Hog Marketing
Hog marketings in Georgia
this fall are likely to be up some
12 percent over last year and
five percent above the 1943-52
average, S. J. Brannen, econo
mist for the Agricultural Exten
sion Service, said this week.
He cited figures based on sow
farrowings from December 1 to
June 1 as reported in the June
pig report of the Crop Reporting
Board.
“For the United States, spring
sow farrowings are up 11 per
cent over 1953 but 10 percent be
low the 1943-52 average,” Bran
nen reported. “Breeding inten
tions indicate 1954 fall farrowings
will be up 10 percent above
last fall and five percent below
the 10 year average.”
The economist pointed out that
the number of hogs over six
months old on U. S. farms June
1 was seven percent below June
1 of last year, and was 33 per
cent below the average between
1943 and 1952.
“The trend toward earlier
farrowings continues, with the
peak coming in February in
Georgia this year, as compared
to March last year,” Brannen
continued. “Peak sow farrowings
in the nation also came a month
earlier this year, in March.”
Turning to hog prices, the Ex
tension economist said that the
10 year average of monthly hog
prices for Georgia shows the
high coming in August. The ear
lier farrowings reflect farmers’
efforts to hit this August market,
he added, and the top price could
J. come slightly earlier this year.

ARTHRITIS?
I have been wonderfully blessed
in being restored to active life after
being crippled in nearly every joint
in my body and with muscular
soreness from head to foot. I had
Rheumatoid Arthritis and other
forms of Rheumatism, hands de
formed and my ankles were set.
Limited space prohibits telling
you more here but if you will write
me I will reply at once and tell you
how I received this wonderful relief.

HUNDREDS OF PAID POLITICAL ADS HAVE BEEN WRITTEN BY
A PROFESSIONAL PUBLICITY AGENT AND PUBLISHED BY THE OP
POSITION BUT THEY CANNOT ALTER THE OFFICIAL RECORD.
Now Read The Truth..
. . . According to the official Record as compiled by the Clerk of the
U. S. House of Representatives.
THE OFFICIAL RECOKO
SHOWS TH!3 FOLLOWING:
The roll has been called nearly fifteen hundred times in Congress dur
ing the eight years Don Wheeler has been your Congressman. In spite of
the fact that he has been required to come home three times during this
eight year period to campaign for re-election, he has maintained a 92% at
tendance record. He has never missed a roll call while he was in Washing
ton. The only Members of Congress who have better attendance records than
Don Wheeler are those who have not had opposition.
Your Congressman, Don Wheeler, has never voted against the best in
terest of the farmers. From his position as member of the House Committee
on Agriculture, he has supported 90% of parity. If he had, as has been
charged, voted against 90% of parity, every newspaper in Georgia would
have carried the news and the people would have known about it without
anyone buying political ads to tell them.
3. The Record shows that the REA has had more money than it could
spend every year for the past eight. Don Wheeler and every other member
of the Georgia delegation has consistently supported the REA. To charge
that Wheeler hhs been wrong about the REA is to say that the whole Geor
gia delegation in the House and Senate has been wrong since the delegation
has been unanimous in its support of the REA program. Wheeler is con
stantly seeking ways and means of lowering retail rates to REA customers.
4. At no time has your Congressman ever violated the Congressional
franking privilege.
5. The Record shows that Don Wheeler is the only Member of The
Georgia, Delegation to secure the passage of a single public law in the in
terest of veterans since the end of World War IT. He authored and pressed
to passage PUBLIC LAW 377 which provided for the vocational agricultu
ral training of over 32 thousand Georgia veterans.
6. Don Wheeler has constantly worked for the welfare of deserving
veterans. He has sought to alleviate the shortage of hospital beds for dis
abled veterans. He has been awarded the Distinguished Service Award by
the Disabled American Veterans. This award can be seen hanging on the
wall of Don Wheeler’s office in Alma, Georgia, and should adequately answer
any of his critics who claim he has failed his fellow veterans.
7. The Record shows that Don Wheeler was very active in getting the
recently enacted Watershed Bill and Irrigation Bill out of his Committee on
Agriculture and getting them passed by Congress.
8. Opposition charges that this district does not get its share of federal
expenditures is refuted by the fact th if , d ’.ring the present fiscal year, over
50% of all funds to be spent by the D nartment of Defense in Georgia will
be spent within the Bth District.
9. The Record shows that Don Wheeler has been outspoken and active
in his opposition to communism and to those things which would destroy
our Southern traditions such as the r .ue 'v i decision on segre-
gation in public schools.
10. The Record shows that Don Wheeler is a realist who refuses to
niake “pie in the sky” promises to entice voters. He refuses to insult the
intelligence of the people by promising the impossible.
Congressmen are most es ectivc who have most senior
ity in Congress. Don’t make your district surfer in loss of
seniority by changing Congressmen evers^ few terms.
Don Wheeler will apprec Vo your support in his bid for
re-election.
