“Wanted; A wife. Must be between

of mind and limb and of cheerful
nature. I have a comfortable home
to offer and am eligible .'or old-
age pension.”
Thus is the advertisement recently
inserted in the Rhinelander (Wis.)
News by Ezra Worden, 74 years old.
Mr. Worden said that he does not
want a wife under 40 because a
younger woman might be “flighty."
He boasted of being a top-notch
workman, saying that he picked 700
bushels of potatoes recently. Mr.
Worden asserted that his marital
record speaks for itself. He married
twice. Beth wives died. He lived
with the second thirty-seven years.
“Some of the neople think I don’t
mean it when I mention getting
married,” he said *Tm going to

KNOWING Those We Serve
and Their Needs
When one cf our patrons speaks of getting good service
from this bank, what docs he mean?
He means that cur officers did not merely give him
per'unctory attention. They took the time and the
pains necessary to give him as nearly as possible the
type of banking co-operation his needs of the moment
culled for.
That soundi* simple enough. It is simple. But we could
net do our best if we did not feel that we are daily
performing a really helpful service for those who come
to this bank

Greetings
To The President
W E ARE happy to join in welcoming you back
home to your adopted State. We welcome you
not only with words but with tangible accomplish'
ments of a kind which will, we believe, prove inter'
esting to you.
With your often expressed desire to encourage the
more abundant use of electricity in homes, as a
means of stimulating social progress and raising stan
dards of living, you will be happy to know that your
adopted State is no laggard. Georgia, in fact, is set'
ting the pace for the nation !
Already, Georgia stands FIRST among all states
cast of the Rockies in the use of electricity in the
home, and it is making rapid progress forward.
Just within the past few weeks, we have reached
a goal for which we have been striving for many
years. Homes served by the Georgia Power Com'
pany have now reached and passed an average of
1,000 kilowatt hours in their annual use of elec'
tricity, while the average American home uses only
656.
This is not the achievement of a thickly settled
metrooolitan area. The present average ^pf 1,011
kilowatt hours—better than 50 per cent ahead of
the national average—is the achievement of 130/
000 Georgia homes scattered over an area of 44,000
square miles.
Out of 395 cities, towns and rural communities
served by this Company, 298 of them have less than
1,000 population. Only eight out of the 395 have
more than 10,000 pupulation.
Your desire to see electric service made available
to the small towns and rural sections, as well as the
cities, is one with which we heartily agree. It is actu-
ally being done in Georgia. And during the coming
year, we hope to extend the service to a large num'
ber of additional farms and rural communities.
Throughout this area of 44,000 square miles, the
electric rates are exactly uniform. The smallest towns
and the most remote farms enjoy exactly the same
rates as those prevailing in the heart of Atlanta.
And throughout the area, residential consumers
are buying their electricity at an average price of
3.7 cents a kilowatt hour, by comparison with the
national average of 5.15 cents. Commercial and in
dustrial rates aie proportionately low.
These policies of low rates and uniform rates are
policies which, we believe, you will heartily endorse.
Policies which you have advocated nationally are
actually being practiced in Georgia.
While your ideas and ours may perhaps differ in
some particulars as to the methods by which elec
trical progress should be achieved, we believe we are
in complete agreement as to the following basic
points—
That electricity shall be cheap, that*the quality
of the service shall be good, that electric service shall
be made available as widely as possible, and that
electricity shall steadily grow in usefulness as a
servant of mankind.
To this policy we arc committed, and we are
proud to point to at least some few achievements
along these lines in your adopted State —
GEORGIA.
