Expression Of Appreciation
We wish to express our sincere
thanks to all contributors to the
funds raised for the purchase of
a piano for the School Hill school
building. We especially thank the
Empire-Tribune for the generous
f W1t Prtxtoetton
the use of electricity to relieve a
critical shortage of “coal or other
scarce fuels” in other parts of the
nation.
Such a curtailment of electricity
is not necessary here because the
steam power plants of the T. P. A
L. Company do not use “coal or
other scarce fuels” but depend on
natural gas for fuel.
The generating facilities and far-
flung transmission system of Tex-
as Power A Light Company not
only save this area from curtail-
ment of service, but also enable
the Company to produce additional
Light Company, which is distri-
buting a substantial amount of the
power generated by these projects.
The company has suggested a
broad program of cooperation with
the government to distribute all
the power which can be produced
at these dams, pnd to pass on to
its customers any benefits derived
from such an arrangement
The company now supplies all
power requirements of the 20 Rur-
al Electrification Administration
cooperatives in the area which it
serves, doing so at rates approx-
imately the lowest in the nation
and lower than those charged REA
cooperatives by the Tennessee Val-
ley Authority.
This section of Texas enjoys an
enviable position in having abun-
dant power for every need and
is fortunate in being served by a
power company which has always
planned ana built ahead to provide
amply for all normal and emergen-
cy electric service requirements
of a rapidly growing area. The bus-
iness in this area will continue nor-
mally and will not have to cur-
tail lighting, which would virtually
black out the ouamess section of
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to use this method of
thanking our many friends and
neighbors who were so kind and
thoughtful during the illness and
death of our father, Robert A. J.
Mayo. We also appreciate greatly
the floral offerings, and other acts
of kindness. 'We are grateful to

Southwest Pacific
Veteran Resting At
Hot Springs, Ark.
Acording to a news release of
this week, reporting to the Army
Ground and Service Forces Redis-
tribution Station in- Hot Springs,
Arkansas, Pfc. Margin H. Cason
of Stephenville is now living in
one of the four major Hot Springs
hotels acquire^—hy the Army to
house the new installation.
Veteran of 27 months combat
duty in the Southwest Pacific, Pfc.
Casdn returned to the States last
month. Prior to checking in at Hot
.Springs, he spent a 22-day fbr-
lough with his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. J. J. Cason, Route 1, Steph-
enville.
Petty Officer Billie Beene arrived
in Stephenville Monday and will
be here during the week to visit
hin parent*, Mr. and Mrs. W. A.
Beene and sister, Miss Betty, un-
til Monday. At the present time
he i« based on the Pacific Coast
where he is taking training as a
radio technician in the Navy. BU-
lie graduated from Stephenville
High School in 1942 and later spent
one year in John Tarleton. Has
twenty months of service to his
credit. • -

do not require the use of cross-
arms, and which materially reduced
the cost of rural line construction.
This development contributed per-
haps more than any other single
factor to making widespread rural
electrification possible.
The great transmission system
developed by Texas Power A Light
Company is of inestimable value
in the war effort. Because of it,
the 18 major Army and Navy in-
stallations were able to locate in
the area served, and the company
has supplied all the requirements
of these military installations,
which have risen from 8,000,000
to more than 100,000,000 kilowatt-
hours a year since December, 1941.
This company was able, when a
power crisis arose in Arkansas in
1941, to produce, collect, and de-
liver approximately half of the
enormous quantities of electricity
brought to the government alumi-
nuni plant at Lake Catherine, Ar-
kansas,- by ten power companies
in eight states, further serving the
public interest at the same time
by delivering additional large
quantities of power to relieve shor-
ages in adjacent areas.
The Texas Power A Light Com-
pany purchases and distributes to
people of Texas a large amount of
the power generated by Lower Col-
orado River Authority and all of
the power generated at the Morris
Sheppard Dam with the exception
of a small amount retained by the
Brazos River Transmission Elec-
tric Cooperative for use of it* own
customers. A contract also has
been made with the Southwestern
Power Administration to distri-

Dee Ash, who lives out from Hi-
co, was in Stephenville late last
week and brought a letter from
his son, Pvt Myrle G. Ash, who is
well known and has many friends
in this section. After graduation
from high school in Hico, he went
to Fort Worth where he was em-
ployed in the plant of Consolidated
Aircraft before entering the service
in the U. S. Army Infantry, and
after the usual training, was sent
overseas. He was wounded while
fighting in France, December 11,
and spent some time in a field hos-
pital. Mr. Ash has been informed
that his son has been awarded the
Purple Heart, and it is being sent
to his father for “safe keeping".
A letter from Private Ash, writ-
ten the day before his nineteenth
birthday, December 22, is given in
part and shows the hopeful, opti-
mistic spirit of our soldier boys
over there: “I atn now in a hos-
pital far from the front. Just think,
today I’m still 18, but tomorrow
is my birthday and I,’ll be 19. This
is a heck of a time for a birthday,
but we'll make up for it sometime.”
December 25; “Dad I am feeling
fine today. We sure are having a
wonderful Christmas. The Red
Cross gave us sacks with two cook-
ies, packs of cigarettes, matches,
an apple, puck of gum, and a pack-
age of M A M candy. Kind of made
me think of Christmas at home
and a lot of the things we hail and
did then. Then today for Christmas
dinner, we really had a good meal.
I thought of you and mother while
I was eating. I am sending you
our menu so that you can see just
what We had to eat,
I have come a ..good long way
from the front and am in a Gen-
eral Hospital. At first I was about
twenty miles from the front in a
field hospital where I was sent th#
morning I got hit. They gave me
five quarts of blqod, and then op-
erated that night. They did a won-
derful job for they seemed to lift
a weight off my right lung, find
I got my first easy breath sincls
I was hit. Have been breathing
easy ever since, but have a few
pains once in a while when I do
too much. Dad, I’m the luckiest
guy in the world, and if God hadn’t
been with me, I would not have
been here today. I got lift in the
right leg above the ankle, but it
did not break the bone or aay lig-
aments; I got a wound in the right
foiearm about four inches from
the elbow, but it will be o. k., for
