Power Curtail
Must Work
Three weeks ago, we joined with agencies of
the federal government and power companies
of the Southeast in asking the public to Save
Electricity. In order that the power needs for
National Defense might be supplied, in spite
of the worst drought since 1904, it was our pa¬
triotic duty to ask you to buy less of our prod¬
uct. Patriotically, you responded. You cut your
use of electricity by more than 450,000 kilo¬
watt hours a day. But that was not enough, and
a still greater reduction in the use of power
had to be asked.
The bigger curtailment program lias
just gone into effect, this week, and it lias
got to work at once — from the very be¬
ginning. There’s no time for adjustment,
or of working toward a goal- Ihere must
be complete, 100 per cent cooperation
now — right from the beginning.
Otherwise the consequences will be of the
most serious nature.
The full cooperation of all classes of users
of electricity is needed. Mills, factories, stores,
filling stations, beauty shops, hotels, theaters,
amusement parks, barber shops, and so on
down the list — all are included. As well as
homes and some municipal services such as
street lighting.
Here are some facts about the drought which
will show how serious the problem really is.
1. Even though Plant Arkwright, the Com¬
pany’s new steam - electric generating plant
near Macon, has Been rushed to completion
and is now supplying 1,000,000 kilowatt hours
a day, it was necessary to continue drawing
enough water from the hydroelectric hours storage
lakes to produce 1,500,000 kilowatt a
day. This drain had to stop, before all of the
water was used up. Hence the bigger curtail¬

ment program, and the necessity that it suc¬

2. If the storage lakes were exhausted,
there would he insufficient capacity to carry
the “peak load.” Which means that the electric
service would break down in whole or part.
For the public safety, that can’t be allowed to
happen under any circumstances.
3. Under normal conditions of rainfall, the
storage lakes should have water equivalent to
136,000,000 kilowatt hours at this season. Ac¬
tually, they have about 35,000,000. It is a
mighty small margin, when the months just
ahead are normally the hottest and driest of
the year.
4. Lake Burton should be nearly full at
this time of year, under normal conditions. It
should have more than 90,000,000 kilowatt
hours; instead, it has less than 8,000,000. It
has been drawn down about 60 feet. To fill
Lake Burton up to normal there will have to
be enough rainfall to raise the water level 60
feet. An afternoon’s rain won’t do that.
To hold the present supply of water, which
is absolutely vital as conditions are now, there
must he a general one-third reduction in the
use of electricity by EVERYBODY. The only
exceptions are National Defense activities,
and hospitals, water and sewage facilities and
similar necessary pvibiie services.
No exceptions can he made for any busi¬
nesses or individuals that come within the pro¬
gram. If such exceptions are made, the whole
effort will fail.
This means sacrifice to many, but there is
no way to avoid it. This power emergency is
deadly serious. It is so serious that your cur¬
tailment cannot wait until next week or day
after tomorrow. The program has got to work
NOW.

CORRECT TIRE
INFLATION WILL
CONSERVE GAS
Local Dealer Urges Care
And Inspection of Tires
Plus Moderate Speed
What has tire inflation to do
with increased gasoline consump¬
tion?
This is an important consider-
aton today with thought turning
nationally to ways and means of
making the gasoline supply go
fartherest as an aid in defense
planning.
Tire engineers, according to
McBryar Brothers, local Good¬
year dealers, have over a period
of years made extensive tests
and comparisons, finding that a
slight reduction in air content of
tires increase gasoline consump¬
tion.
“On the ‘6.00-16 size popular
on a large group of cars in cur¬
rent use,” said Mr. McBryar,
“28 pounds of air is normal pres¬
sure, but reduced to 24 pounds,
or say roughly, reduced to 14
per cent, will increase the car
owners gasoline consumption two
and one-half per cent. That is, if
the highways over which he
travels are smooth, but if they’re
rough, he will get even less miles
per gallon.
“That is a good reason for
watching tire inflations—seeing
that they are up to recommend¬
ed figures, so that the owner
will get the ultimate safe miles
possible from each tire,” he con¬
tinued.
“There are other things that
the car owner will want to
check more carefully, in addition
to pressures. First, alignment of
wheels, so that slow, even wear
of casings will result; frequent
inspection of tires to be sure that
nails and glass embedded there
are removed, and finally, that
his driving generally be improv¬
ed. By that I mean the car own¬
er should avoid quick getaways
from stoplights, should not slam
on the brakes, should keep his
speed down to reasonable mini¬
mum. Thus he will not only get
more mileage from his gasoline,
but will really add miles to his
tires’ service.
“And one more point,” con¬
cluded Mr. McBryar, “right now
is an especially good time to re¬
place worn tires. We are conduc¬
ting a tire sale from now to July
5, offering real pavings on
Goodyear tires to the car owners
of Dade County.”

WHERE DO THE GO
TO PRAY?
We sat alone, such a few,
’Tis a house of God, they say;
It must have members, quiet a
few,
Then where do they go to pray?
It is their church, their home,
Where God has bade them meet;
Then where were they tonight, I
wonder?
Were they v/alking somewhere on
straying feet?
There’s a lot of people close a-
bout,
To fill it’s every pew;
Yet there was only God, the
minister,
And us, such a pitiful few.
I guess it’s the world they min¬
gle with,
Their need of God must be
small;
Their God called money and
society,
Binds them ’round by a bitter
wall.
Their building is nice, good to
see,
The price must have been very
dear;
Then why don’t they use it now?
When the clouds of destruction
are rolling near?
I cannot give the answer,
But I can take you to the place,
Where the house is old and
rambling,
But o’re flowing with God’s
sweet grace.
It’s walls are white and gleaming,
