Oil Calms the Waves
Oil is poured on the water for the
purpose of quieting the seas. It
■ stops all small wave motion and
I makes it possible to lower and han- j
die lifeboats on small vessels. There
! are times when even ocean-going j
: ships are exposed for long periods
i to excessive sea waves; it is not an
j unusual thing for them to spread a
i film of oil round about the ship for
j the purpose of saving the vessel
from excessive strain.

week with a fitting program at

al Defense.” “Do We Need

cept in strength and no security
save in armed vigilance,” he
said, and gave prssent day Chi
na, Ethopia, Spain and Austria
as examples. Mr. Rhodes said
that keen observers believe there
will be war, but he thinks Ameri
ca, if it could be sufficiently arm
ed to protect not only her east
and west coasts but the Canada
coast line and those of the coun
tries south of her, is the power
that can avert a world war. In
conclusion he said, “Double the
navy and the warships, double
the army, and triple the air
force and its equipment to keep
America from being a nation to
grovel in the dust.”

2 new miles of rural line
12 new rural customers
50 new rural users of electricity
EVERY WORKING DAY!
I J
During the three years ending December 31, 1938, the Georgia Power
Company built 1,804 miles of new rural electric lines, serving 10,770
new customers, practically all of them rural and farm residents who for
merly had not had the advantages of electric service.
This means that an average of more than two miles of new rural line
were built every working day during the past three years; that an average
of 12 new rural customers were added every working day; and, conserva
tively, that an average of 50 Georgians who live in rural districts men,
women and children every working day began to enjoy for the first
time the priceless privilege of electric service in the home and on the
farm.
... And That’s Not All
These are the results of the last three years in a rural electrification
program that began many years ago. Steady, consistent work at this im
portant job has raised today’s totals to
4,192 miles of rural lines in this Company’s system serving 48,690
rural consumers. And the work still goes forward!
In addition, we have worked hand in hand with REA cooperatives in
extending electric service to still more Georgia farms.
For an electrified Georgia, we will build rural lines where we can
and where we ourselves can’t build, we will help others to build.
