We’ll spend almost $1 million
every day to keep up with
your electric needs.
Georgia Power, will spend more than $230 million for
construction this year, because you are using more elec
tricity than ever. That s nearly $1 million each working
day, to build new facilities and enlarge existing ones.
This year 7 s construction budget is the largest in our
history. Its $79 million more than the combined invest
ments of all the 140 new industries that came on our
service lines last year.
And, since this money must be raised in the open
market, record-high interest rates will add millions of
dollars more to our costs.
The money will be used to build generating stations.
New substations. Transmission and distribution lines.
Because our goal is to continue supplying plenty of de
pendable, low-cost electric power that makes life better
in so many ways. We think that’s a pretty important job.
And well worth the money we spend.

Dear Mr, Branch.
This letter is being written
to clarify an Action Line
item in the June 25th edi
tion of The Home Journal.
The monthly pay of the
councilmen is not $200.00,
hut $150.00, I am forwarding
for your information and ref
erence, a copy of the Febru
ary 20, 1970 minutes of the
council meeting which regu
lates the current pay of the
council. Please note that the
$200.00 reflected in Action
Line, or the actual $150.00,
is not representative of my
views regarding remunera
tion for serving on council.
W ith kindest regards, I
remain,
Sincerely,
James o. mckinley

corrected, Councilman Mc-
Kinley. Thank you for call-
TO THE

any increase in salary for
the Mayor and Council.)

Dear Sir:
It has been ascertained
that the recent Peruvian
earthquake was one of the
worst disasters of our lime.
Winter weather in the area
is compounding the suffer
ing of thousands of victims.
Many local people have
asked the Red Cross if they
could help these people. We
have just been informed by
the American National Red
Cross that blankets, heavy
sweaters, jackets and over
coats are needed. These gar
ments should be new or
freshly cleaned. Anyone who
would like to donate some
of these items may call Mrs.
Hugh Morris at the Red
Cross office in Warner Rob
ins, 923-6332, and arrange
ments will be made to have
the clothes picked up.
Our chapter will also have
a quota of 400 comfort kits
to be made, filled and dis
tributed in the earthquake
area. These kits will be sim
ilar to the ditty bags made
for our own servicemen, and
will be filled with personal
items such as soap, combs,
hand towels, cups and eat
ing utensils.
Any organization, busi
ness or individuals who can
give some of the above items
(new) for filling the kits
should notify the Red Cross
office. Cash contributions in
any amount are also wel
come.
Very truly yours,
CHARLES H. YATES JR.

Brush Painters

of Arnhem Land, Australia, use

Quick Shelter
When army ants bivouac at
night, each ant clings to a neigh
bor to form a living rope with
their tens of thousands of bodies.
The mass of bodies, hanging
from a vine or log to the ground,
makes a snug, safe camp for the
queen.
Our new equipment
sometimes makes
the same old mistakes
Phillip Brilt/Installer/Perry
and then your phone won’t work. It “bugs” me as
much as it “bugs” you. Because I don’t like to
think something I’ve helped maintain has a flaw.
But even the most up-to-date systems can cause
occasional trouble. So I go out right away
to that trouble because
I want it cleared up too.
