and she still
thinks electric heat
is too expensive
She’s not the onl\ one. But today that idea
is ’way outdated. The truth is, if it’s properly
installed in a home with adequate insulation,
electric heating costs no more than any other
kind. Very often, less.
Want facts-and-figures proof ? Just ask for
one of our residential sales engineers or heat
pump sales engineers. Or call a Certified
Electric Heating Dealer.
You’ll get an estimate of your annual heat
ing bill. Then, if you wish, you’ll get a modern
heating plan designed especially for your
home. No cost to you.
And our low total-electric rate was made
for people of modest means. Budget billing
keeps your electric bill the same every month.
So, do it now: make a clean break with the
past. Step up to the joy of total-electric living.
Hurry, 2*2 million families are ahead of you.

Ladies Night
At Brotherhood
The Brotherhood of the
Jonesboro First Baptist
Church entertained the
wives at a delightful dinner
meeting in the social hall of
the church on Monday eve
ning, February 27. The pres
ident, Mr. Clyde Harrelson,
presided.
The tables were beautiful
ly decorated by Mrs. Lamar
Beckwith carrying out the
music and Easter theme in
green and gold. Green vel
vet streamers were used
along the center of the ta
bles and golden musical in
struments of all varieties
were placed along this
streamer. Milk white com
potes were used along the
tables, filled with Easter
grass and eggs and a bird
perched on each one.
Special guests for the oc
casion were, the Rev. and
Mrs. Clint Kimbrough of
Pelham where he serves as
Minister of Music and Youth
in the First Baptist Church.
Using as his theme, Com
munication with God
through music, Rev. Kim
brough presented two skits
that were hilarious before
he and Mrs. Kimbrough pre
sented a program of music.
Mrs. Kimbrough gave three
numbers from “The Sound
of Music” with her husband
at the piano. With Mrs.
Clark at the piano, they sang
several duets including the
hymn, “How Long Must We
W a 11.” Mrs. Kimbrough
closed the program with the
“Prayer of St. Francis of As
sissi”. They will go to Rich
mond, Virginia, soon for a
physical, seeking an appoint
ment by the Foreign Mission
Board to Brazil.
The program was a great
inspiration to everyone
present and as someone ex
pressed it, “we left feeling
we had been in the pres
ence of God".

Notes On
Chiropractic
By DR. HENRY L. FOLEY
Many people ask the ques
tion “Why do some people
have so many colds, while
others never
do?" They
wonder who
gave it to
them.
Some pa
tients are
more suscep
tible to colds
and other
disorders be
cause of de
creased body
resistance. Carelessness In
spreading of germs is not
good; but germs do not al
ways cause disease In a body
whose resistance is normal;
whose physiologic activity is
up to par.
Germs must find within
the body a fertile ground in
which to multiply to gain a
hold which fill further upset
the body physiological pro
cesses.
A winter such as we have
had here coupled with a lack
of rest, increased work, im
porper diet has gradually
lowered the body resistance.
The spinal column and
nervous system plays a big
part in body resistance. Pos
tural habits, work habits,
falls and collisions frequent
ly shock the spine so that
vertebrae slip from normal
alignment. Vertebral dis
placements can interfere
with the action of spinal
nerves and lower the body
resistance.
