Don’t Waste Electricity
'Just Because It
Isn’t Rationed
Although there is no present prospect of a power shortage,
electricity is too valuable an asset to the nation to be wasted. It is
wrong to waste anything in wartime, especially anything so essen
tial to the war program as electricity is.
Our country’s power supply—over 80 per cent of it produced
by the private companies—is adequate for all present needs, not
only for war purposes but also for civilian uses in homes and
places of business. That’s why electricity is unrationed. That’s
why- it may be used without any official restrictions or restraints.
But don’t waste it.
Here in Georgia we are well prepared for all power require
ments that can be foreseen As a result of generous rainfall, all
the hydroelectrite storage lakes are practically full. At our two
largest steam-operated power plants, we have enough coal on hand
to last about six months at full operation, and even this big supply
will probably not be used until next winter because the plants use
natural gas during the summer months. To further increase our
power generating capacity, we will complete another 60,000-horse
power unit at Plant Arkwright, near Macon, by the end of the
summer. This unit will add another 1,000,000 kilowatt hours a
day of electricity to Georgia’s power •resources.
But don’t waste electricity just)because it isn’t “scarce” or
“critical.” Use it wisely to meet any tactual need you have for it.
but don’t waste it.

SNAP PEAS ARE READY
IN THE VIDALIA SECTION
Vidalia, Ga., June 7.—Victory
gardeners and truckers of this sec
tion will start reaping their crop
»f snap beans this week and a fair
to good yield is reported to be set
on the bushes. The field pea snaps
are a very popular vegetable dish
in this section and in other sec
tions where their use is known, but
growers are harassed by two details
of marketing their crop. Pickers
are rather scarce and no sure market
for heavy shipments have been con
tacted. The peas are picked tender
and packed in bushel hampers. Ex
press and trucks are usually used in
getting the snaps to market.
Watermelon growers are also
worried about how the melons will
go to market this season. They
should be ready soon after July 4
and it is heard that watermelons
are not listed as essential food crop
which will probably make cars un
available for this crop. The melon
crop is smaller, however, in this
immediate section than usual and if
shipping arrangements are too hard
to make, the melons may be fed to
livestock and marketed as meat.
Just arrived car load land

US PEOPLE
By G. C. Barnhill
Just about the time we all get set
for good old ice tea these summer
days, after we have teld the Ration
Board how industrious we are go
ing to be making preserves, putting
up fruit juices, jellies, peaches and
all kind of sweet things, we find out
that tea is all about out for the du
ration, when we have plenty of can
ning sugar to sweetea it with. So
most of us are back on water, be
cause that other popular beverage
is mostly stored from time to time
in cold spots for specials.
Some of us may have been, look
ing out for some of these things
and have some stacked back, but
when it is used, the scheming that
was put into the effort to out do
our fellow man, that might need It
worse than we do in many instances,
will kinder make it nauseating.
From what we read in the papers
and hear over the radio, we are
fighting for the principle of fair
play, and during the struggle we
might ask ourselves the question, am
I worth somebody’s boy dying for
me and my scheming.
Mrs. J. T. Wicker has been on
the sick list this week.
