The managing editor of the New York Herald took a
day off on December 21, 1879. So this headline in his paper
hit him without warning.
EDISON'S LIGHT-
IT MAKES A LIGHT. WITHOUT GAS OR FLAME!
The public promptly shouted "hoax!" Scientists called
Edison crazy. And our shocked, angry editor expected to
be fired.
But he wasn't. Eleven days later, Thomas Edison held a
unique New Year's party in his laboratory at Menlo Park,
New Jersey.and invited the world to see his "flameless light."
Thousands came and were convinced. The incandescent
lamp was real.
Soon small private companies were bringing the benefits
of Edison's newfangled lamp to the people. Engineers and
business men poured in their energy and time... risked
their own savings... overcame all kinds of obstacles ...
broadened and improved the service. i
Government didn't do the job. Individuals did. And in
the process, they created jobs for many thousands of Amer-
icans, as well as a great new service for many millions more.
When Edison opened the first power-plant in 1882, elec-
tricity cost 25tf a kilowatt-hour. This year, as we mark the
100th anniversary of the great inventor's birth, the average
price of household elect; .city across the country is only
3%<t per kilowatt-hour.
Thanks to Edison's imagination and enterprise—thanks
to the courage and initiative of many men and women, work-
ing under the American business system — this country
enjoys the most and the best electric service in the world.
And all our lives are richer, safer, more productive.

MORAN P. T. A.
(Delayed)
The Moran Parent-Teachers
Association, and Moran communi-
ty at large suffered a distinct loss
by the removal from our midst of
Mr. and Mrs. Cole Black, who re-
cently moved to Carrizo Springs.
Mrs. Black, or "Julia" as she was
affectionately known, was presi-
dent of the PTA., and her resigna-
tion was reluctantly accepted at
the meeting Wednesday, March
5th. Mrs. Cordie Cuno being vice
president, she took charge of the
program, being assisted by the
secretary, Mrs. Hugh Smith. A
nominating committee, composed
of Mrs. Floyd Hamilton, Mrs. Al-
fred Agnew, and Mrs. Walter Cut-
ler, were appointed to select nomi-
nees to be voted on for the office
of president of the PTA for the
1947-48 school term. Mrs. Her-
schel Roberts and Mrs. Garland
Shelton were appointed to audit
tlie books for the current year.
For entertainment, Mrs. Runkel
and Mrs. Odell, of the first and
second grades, respectively, pre-
sented two skits titled, "Overall
Jim, and Sunbonnet Sally," also
"The Three Bears." The meeting
was adjourned to meet Wednes-
day. April 2.
o
METHODIST CHURCH
Sponsoring a Brotherhood ban-
quet to be given each month, the
first one under the leadership of
Rev. J. W. Hawkins was held Wed-
nesday evening at 7:30, March 5.
in the church dining room.
Opening song, Revive Us Again;
prayer by Oscar Wise. The pastor
spoke a few words on devotion and
earnestness centered on the mem-
bership revival now in progress.
The ladies of the church furnish-
ed a lovely banquet meal. Will
Townsend acted as toastmaster.
A quartet composed of Rev. and
Mrs. Hawkins, Hub and Lola
Baughman, rendered two numbers,
and received hearty applause.
Rev. J. B. Thompson spoke on
loyalty to Christ, a sense of church
obligation and privilege, dignity of
life, responsibility and duty, stew-,
ardship in church to serve, and
then compared these fine senses to
a pendulum swinging back in
benediction of the "Glories of
Life." God needs us every one.
Closing song, Work for the Night
Ts Coming. Benediction Rev.
Thompson.

D. A. Hulcy, president of Lone
Star Gas Company, has announced
the appointment of James M.
Floyd of Fort Worth to succeed
Will C. Grant as advertising di-
rector effective April 1.
Mr. Grant announced his retire-
ment from the company in order
to be relieved of administrative
duties and to do some trade jour n-
al writing. He will be southwest-
ern editorial representative for
Robbins Publishing Co., New
York. In announcing Mr. Grant's
retirement, President Hulcy said
that he had accepted the resigna-
tion with regret because Mr. Grant
had rendered effective service in a
position of responsibility. He
organized the advertising depart-
ment in Jejiuary, 1929, and since
then has been active in civic and
advertising affairs in the south-
west.
Mr. Floyd has been connected
with the company since 1937. He
has a wide acquaintance in public
and civic organization circles,
principally in Fort Worth. He
formerly was assistant city at-
torney of Fort Worth. Mr. and
Mrs. Floyd plan to move to Dallas
where his headquarters in his new
work will be located.
How many of your New Year a
resolutions are unbroken? ■ Some
you made in jest. Others represent
a serious effort, such as a thrift
plan. You may have resolved to
step up your savings bonds allot-
ment through the Payroll Savings
Plan, or you may have resolved to
ask your bank to buy a savings
bond for youi every month out of
your deposited funds. You can't af-
ford not to keep this resolution for
your own good. Even an $18.75 in-
vestment once a month in a $25 sav-
ings bond will provide you with a
$2,500 nestegg in ten years.

Lecture Entitled: "The Availability of Divine
Power as Revealed by Christian Science."
Ma Hoskins has ^favorite rock-
ing chair that's worn and shabby,
with a noisy creak. Pa Hoskins has
listened to that squeak for thirty
years . . . and he decided to do
something about it. So he bought
a new rocker, and hid the other in
the barn.
Ma allowed as how grateful she
was . . . but when Pa missed her
one afternoon, he heard a familiar
sound that led him to the barn.
There was Ma rocking happily in
her old chair—squeak ... squeak.
, No need to tell you how Pa felt.
Quick as a wink he hid the new
rocker and then brought Ma's old
chair back to the house. Now when
he hears that squeak, he looks at
the mellow glass of beer he's drink-
ing and says to himself: "She's just
as entitled to her small pleasures
as I am."
From where I sit, that's one of
the reasons the Hoskinses are tha
happiest, oldest-married, peace*
fulest folks in our town.
