Mr. Hyltin said.
"Electric heating has become
one of the most popular uses for
electricity as it is safe and costs
no more than other fuels because
of the low rates enjoyed by all
members - in fact, our rates are
among the lowest in the nation.”
Mr. Hyltin pointed out.
Interruptions to electric service
will be in the mornings from 8 30

Three Nutrena truck drivers of
Giddings, who together in 1960
drove 113,988 miles without an ac-
cident, have been presented spe-
cial safety awards by officials of
the feed firm.
Honored were Leonard Faske,
who drove 40,7amiles; Wilburn
Koopman, who"tove 37,512; and
A. Gonzales, “who operated his
truck 35,692 miles.
Lions will be kept to a minimum.
“We areaware of the. fact that,
you will be inconvenienced during
this time, but we hope you will
bear with us because our aim is’
signed to take care of maximum
of 40 KWH per* member which is
sufficient for lights and small ap-
pliances; however, this has in-
creased during the past 10 years
more than 15 times. “In addition,
several subdivisions are being de-
veloped and new all-electric
homes are being built in our area"
has approved a rebuilding pro-
| gram of the entire electric system
by sections - this will include re-
placing of all poles that have
served their usefulness, adding
new poles in the present lines to
reduce the distance between the
j present Jpoles and such other
| things that are necessary to meet
the ever growing demands for e-
lectric service and to provide ade-
quate service for the future.
Mr. Hyltin said that this work
will start the first week in May
and that they hope to complete
the first section of 500 miles of
line before winter so that mem-
bers of all-electric homes will not
| be inconvenienced.
