GETTING THE
MOST FOR YOUR
ENERGY DOLLAR
Georgia Power Company
I’d like* yon to know about a program
Georgia Power Company employees have
been conducting these past tew weeks to
helpom customers use energy more
efficiently. It is called "Summerizing
Your Home" and it's designed to help
hold down summer cooling costs.
You may know about some of these
things already insulation, for example.
A house with good insulation will use
only half as much energy to cool, or heat,
as one without insulation. Other impor
tant points are weatherstripping doors
and windows, storm windows, attic
ventilation and natural shading. Attention
to these details will help make your home
more comfortable this summer and also
get more value for your energy dollar.
At the same time, whatever you can
do to cut your use of electi icity dm ing
peak hours—mostly on hot summer
afternoons—will help hold down the price
of electricity in t fie long run. A major part
of our costly construction is necessary
because of heavy air-conditioning de
mands. It the summer peak demand could
be lowered and our generating equipment
used on a more balanced, year-round
basis, the need for much of this con
struction would drop.
Shaving the summer peak is one of
the biggest problems we must solve, and
summerizing your home for more efficient
energy use is one way you can help. If you
have any suggestions on other ways we
can better provide for your present and
future electrical needs, I would appre
ciate hearing from you.

ESAA Program At PHS
Home Journal Helps Turn
Students "On" To Reading
The Houston Home Journal
is a favorite material used in
the ESAA Reading program at
Perry High School to turn
students “on” to reading.
Perry High is one of few
secondary schools in Georgia
that has a reading laboratory
and may be the only one that
has aides to give “instant”
attention to a student on an
individualized basis. Students
enrolled in the program no
longer have to experience
struggle, frustration and
discouragement when they do
not understand their
assignment.
Using a wide assortment of
materials of various interest
and levels, each student is

Thought for the week: I
have learned that we are not
to find solace in our own
strength; we must seek it in
God’s omnipotence. Fortitude
is good; but fortitude itself
must be shaken under us to
leach us how weak we are.
