WE ARE happy to join in welcoming you back
home to your adopted State. We welcome you
not only with words but with tangible accomplish'
ments of a kind which will, we believe, prove inter'
esting to you.
With your often expressed desire to encourage the
more abundant use of electricity in homes, as a
means of stimulating social progress and raising stan'
dards of living, you will be happy to know that your
adopted State is no laggard. Georgia, in fact, is set'
ting the pace for the nation !
Already, Georgia stands FIRST among all states
east of the Rockies in the use of electricity in the
home, and it is making rapid progress forward.
Just within the past few weeks, we have reached
a goal for which we have been striving for many
years. Homes served by the Georgia Power Com'
pany have now reached and passed an average of
1,000 kilowatt hours in their annual use of elec'
tricity, while-the average American home uses only
656.
This is not the achievement of a thickly settled
metropolitan area. The present average of 1,011
kilowatt hours—better than 50 per cent ahead of
the national average —is the achievement of 130/
000 Georgia homes scattered over an area of 44,000
square miles.
Out of 395 cities, towns and rural communities
served by this Company, 298 of them have less than
1,000 population. Only eight out of the 395 have
more than 10,000 population.
Your desire to see electric service made available

MORE LIGHT MORE LEISURE FOR GEORGIA HOMES
Greetings
To The President
THE JACKSON HERALD. JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
to the small towns and rural sections, as well as the
cities, is one with which we heartily agree. It is actu'
ally being done in Georgia. And during the coming
year, we hope to extend the service to a large num'
ber of additional farms and rural communities.
Throughout this area of 44,000 square miles, the
electric rates are exactly uniform. The smallest towns
and the most remote farms enjoy exactly the same
rates as those prevailing in the heart of Atlanta.
And throughout the area, residential consumers
are buying their electricity at an average price of
3.7 cents a kilowatt hour, by comparison with the
national average of 5.15 cents. Commercial and in'
dustrial rates are proportionately low.
These policies of low rates and uniform rates are
policies which, we believe, you will heartily endorse.
Policies which you have advocated nationally are
actually being practiced in Georgia.
While your ideas and ours may perhaps differ in
some particulars as to the methods by which elec'
trical progress should be achieved, we believe we are
in complete agreement as to the following basic
points
That electricity shall be cheap, that the quality
of the service shall be good, that electric service shall
be made available as widely as possible, and that
electricity shall steadily grow in usefulness as a
servant of mankind.
To this policy we are committed, and we are
proud to point to at least some few achievements
along these lines in your adopted State
GEORGIA.

IN MEMORY OF MRS. C. N.
PINSON AND MRS. H.*l.
MOBLEY
In this sacred memorial hour, it Is
with sad hearts to honor and revere
the memory of two departed U. D.
C. members, Mrs. C. N. Pinson and
Mrs. H. I. Mobley. To them we
pause to render a tribute of fond
remembrance and affectionate re
spect.
We meet to mourn the missing ones,
Those forms,beneath the sod,
Those patriotic Daughters dear,
Whose souls have gone to God.
We are grateful to God for the
privilege of having associated with
such women, saintly in thought, gen
erous in heart, and noble in char
acter.
We loved them in life, we revere
1 them in death, we rejoice with them
in service and accomplishments, and
mourn their untimely passing.
We should not mourn, but rejoice
that they have reached a fairer re
gion far away, far away, where they
wait to meet their loved ones.
In the light of a perfect day,
Wait in those fair mansions
That are not built by human hand,
That rise perfect in their beauty,
Where glorified with Christ, they
stand.
In extending to their bereaved
families our heartfelt sympathy, we
do so with a feeling of personal loss,
sharing with them the sorrow which
has removed them from our midst.
To the memory of our departed
members, there are tears and flow
ers for their silent graves; peace to
the sacred dust, and eternal vigilance
at the shrine of their imperishable
memory.
Far out on the ocean are billows that
never will break on the beach,
And so there are tributes of silence
too lofty to utter in speech.
