Our Country ` Right or Wrong

YOUR PART IS GIVING
Compassion evoked by grim war news
would become an unbearable burden it It
could find no outlet. For the human spirit,
ennobled by imagination, is also most vulner-
able through imagination.
The mother who looks after a sick child
at home can find in her nursing duties some
measure of relief for her own troubled heart.
But anxiety mounts for the woman whose son
lies wounded overseas. Over and over she re-
peats the broken words: "If I were only
there-if I coul donly help-if I could just do
Something."
Those words have come to embody the
yearning of millions of us here in America.

the public for its co-operation.
Following. the completion or

adjourned and all present enjoyed
refreshments served by the hostess.

THE intention of every man with a family is
that his property be passed on to his wife and children at
his death. Unfortunately, this doesn't always happen be-
cause the family may be the very last to receive a part of
the estate property. Funeral expenses, other death costs
and outstanding debts have to be paid, and they come
ahead of the family.
Thousands of far-seeing men are using our
special Jefferson Standard Clean Up Plan to take care of
last expenses. This plan will put your family first and
assure them of receiving all of the property that you leave.
It can also be combined with other Jefferson Standard
plans to provide replacement of income. At no cost, ask
about our Clean Up glan today,

A MIRROR makes two out of one .
but it's just an illusion, of course. You
can't collect on it.

There is a 2-for-1 that the average
American family can and does collect on.
And that's the double amount of electric
service such a family gets today ... for the
same money it paid 15 years ago.

Yes, your bill may be as much as or
more than-it was in 1929. But you're
using more electric conveniences now-
and getting about twice as much for what
you pay Remember, too, that unlike other
prices, the price of electricity has stayed
down.

What's the secret? Efficient business
operation. Experienced men, women and
management, who know their business
from long years of serving you!
