GEORGIAS CHAMPION .
HOME TOWNS/
Bobby Jones in golf—Ty Cobb in baseball — Georgia’s
first victory over Yale — Tech’s triumph over California — the

ship. All the world hails a champion!
Which are Georgia’s champion home towns? The Georgia

tional activities.
What is it that makes a champion home town?
A CHAMPION HOME TOWN IS A TOWN WHERE
LIFE IS MOST WORTH LIVING!
It’s a town that is rich in peace and contentment, in oppor¬
tunity for pleasant hours with friends and family, useful
leisure, prolonged youth — all those things which go to make
up real, wholesome joy m life, while life’s duties are being
performed and its obligations are being met. It’s in the HOME
that these blessings have their origin and their being.
What single factor, today, has done most to bring ease,
new leisure, new comfort, new economy, new brightness to
the home?
The answer is self-evident: ELECTRIC SERVICE.
It is upon tins recognized truth that our one-year contest to
determine Georgia’s champion home towns is based.
Think of the many ways in which your town might benefit
from one of these prizes! Equipment for a new park or play-

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
a has become universally recognised 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,
iust 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 Georgia's women, of helping to preserve the eye¬
sight of Georgia's children, of bringing comforts and con
veniences of the arger cities 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!
