"PEEPING TOM" WAS LUCKY
We feel certain that the "peeping tom"
activities have ended, for a time at least. The
good shooting eye of that pretty little school
teacher made sure of that.
And brothers and sisters, that wasn't just
an isolated case of a pupil being so much "in
love" with his school teacher that he couldn't
stay away from her. There was a whole ring
of boys mixed up in the activities 20 in fast,
as far as the police know to date.
Now we ask you, how about that? 20 boys
who are not too old to be kept at home on
nights when they didn't have something definite
to do out at night. 20 boys who are not too old
to be treated to the razor strap for such as this
peeping into women's bedrooms for what they
call "thrills". The things such practices as this
might have led to, could hardly be termed as
thrills. The boy that was shot was lucky that
the incident had not gone further, and he had
been shot in the seat of the pants with a jolt of
electricity.
And the same boys are still roaming the
streets at night and hanging around on the cor-
ners. We'll be generous and say that negligence
on the part of the parents didn't have anything


Jeannie Crowder G. A.'s
Meet With- Mrs. Smith

The Jeannie Crowder Junior G.
A.'s had their regular weekly meet-
ing Monday afternoon, January 10
at 4:15 in the home of their coun-
selor, Mrs. Frank Smith.
Andrea Martin, president called
the meeting to order and presided
over the business meeting at which
time, Peggy Lewis was elected sec-
retary for the coming quarter and
Andrea Martin was elected to re-
main president.
Plans were discussed for a com-
munity missions project for Easter.
Mrs. Smith presented the pro-


to do with their escapades past. But the same
parents letting the same boys run wild after
being caught at such activities (and the police
notified the parents) is more than coincidence.
IT IS JUST PLAIN NEGLIGENCE on the parts
of parents. It gives our town a black eye to
have something like this happen. And it has
happened from a handful of boys. They are
literally "ruining the town" due to lack of home
discipline. We were comforted to note that
no new boys have joined the ranks of the gang
of perpetually mischevious group that invades
the city streets each night.


We have heard some comment about town
forming opinions against the police department
!eainst giving the woman the pistol to shoot
the "peeping tom". People let's use a little
charity in our thinking. If you are a woman do-
ing the talking along these lines, how would you
like to know that you were being peeked on,
and you lived alone, and you had nothing but
a broom handle to protect you. Sure you could
call the police, but a lot could happen before
the police could come the several blocks to your
house, provided you had a chance to phone them.
And men, what if you had to work at night
and leave your wife at home and you knew peek-
ing had been going on around your home. You
know you would give her your gun, or borrow
one if you didn't have one, and instruct her
how to use and admonish her not to hesitate to
use it on any prowler around the house. That
is only the sense of self-preservation.
We would say that the police did right, if
for but one reason. That reason is that one
husband that we knew of, knowing his house
and his wife was being.peeked on, was waiting
out in the bushes beside his house :'i a shot-
gun loaded with double 0 buc- 't same
night. Had they made the trip { >st first,
some parents would be minus this
writing. The boys can say that th ,:-re lucky
that only one of their number received a slight
flesh would from a .22 caliber target pistol.
Did that end the matter? We don't know,
the boys are still roaming the streets.

) Wondering what new car to buy?
Step to the window, watch traffic,
and you'll see how others are settling this
question. They are buying Pontiacs-at a
faster rate than ever before in history!
Ask why and you'll hear many reasons,
but the basic reason is this. The '55 Pontiac
personifies everyone's dream of what a
modern car should be.
There's Pontiac's unique combination
of beautiful long, low lines, Vogue Two-
Tone styling, and Twin-Streak distinction.
There's Pontiac's long wheelbase-the


secret or the wondrously safe, smooth ride
that makes you and your passengers the
happiest people on wheel:.
There's Pontiac's roominess and luxury
. living-room comfort and mode-of-
tomorrow decor along with picture-

window vision all around.
And there's Pontiac instant control and
Strato-Streak V-8 performance-but these
must be enjoyed to be believed.
Take a total of the foregoing and here's
the result-more of everything than a like
amount of money has ever bought before!


ITow much rhoneyT You can actually buy
a Strato-Streak-powered Pontiac for just
a few dollars more than the very lowest-
priced cars! Come in and find out how little
it costs to switch to modern motoring.

Output of Firm

1954 was a notable year for Flor-
ida and for the Florida Power Cor-
poration.
The remarkable growth of the
utility, second-fastest growing one
in the nation, is a good index to the
remarkable growth of our state,
one of the fastest-growing areas in
the nation.
At the end of 1954. Florida Pow-
er Corporation was serving 218,000
customers, an increase of almost
15,000 over the same time last year.
Ten years ago customers numbered
only 66,490.
During the year additions at Hig-
gins plant 'in Oldsmar and Suwan-
nee River plant at Ellaville added
7,000 kilowatts of generating cap-
ability to the FPC system.
On Dec. 20 the peak load of the
FPC system was 446,100 kilowatts,
the highest in this history of the t
company. s
Along with last year's increased
number of customer-s came an in-,.
creased usage of electricity by those
customers. The average residential
user consumed 2,765 kilowatts dur-
ing the year for an increase of 179
s
over 1953.
Contributing to this increased
use of electricity in the home were
the many new household appliances
which do so much to make modern c
