“The budget commission, composed
of the governor the comptroller
general and the state auditor recom
mended a reduction of over $500.-
000 to the common schools on the
ground that there was not sufficient
revenue to pay this appropriation,
when every informed citizen, in
cluding the members of the house
and senate, knows that the budgets
cf every department under the di

were increased in these same recom
mendations.
“No comment nas cone from the
governor's office on the general con

schools of Georgia, where white
teachers arc being paid less than
janitors at the Capitol, and where
thousands of country boys and girls
are n-»t permitted to attend school
over five or six months.”

Georgia homes, served with electricity by this Company,
arc now using an average of 1,003 kilowatt hours a year.
Think of it! During the past 12 months, the 126,000 resi
dential customers of this Company averaged more than
1,000 kilowatt hours of electric service PER HOME.
Compare this with the national average of only 656 kilo
watt hours. Georgia homes use over 50 per cent more than
the average American home
This bright news is particularly significant today, when
it has become universally recognized that there is no more
reliable standard by which to judge the liveability of a
home than that home's use of electric service For, as more
and more electric service is used, wisely and farsightedly,
just so do comfort, convenience and useful leisure in the
home increase.
Interpret that average of 1,000 kilowatt hours per year
per home in terms of lifting burdens of drudgery from the
backs of Geoigia's women, of helping to preserve the eye
sight of Georgia’s children, of bringing comforts and con
veniences of the larger dries to small towns and rural
sections, of making greater leisure, more opportunities to
really live, for all of us.
Georgians may well be proud that, in its use of electric
service in the home, the state is first east of the Rocky
Mountains — fourth in the whole United States!
