When costs go up,
solving the problem isn't
easy for TP&L
Texas Power & Light Company’s costs of bringing you
dependable electric service have risen drastically in
recent years. And, they’re still going up.
For example, TP&L uses thousands of racks ... a
small but essential piece of hardware which is
attached to poles as a support for power lines. In 1952,
the price of a rack was only 49$. Today, the price is
$1.00.
In 1952, TP&L spent about $23 million on new
generating plants, lines and other facilities needed to
produce and supply electric power. In 1972,
construction costs amounted to almost $110 million.
This increase was brought about partly by the
increasing demand for electricity and partly by
inflation. In recent years, environmental and esthetic
considerations have added new costs.
Power plant fuel, a major cost item to TP&L, has gone
up in price more than 500% since 1952.
Texas Power & Light, and most electric utility
comp..‘es, have a solid history of keeping electric
rates as low as possible, consistent with good service.
In fact, TP&L's average charge per kilowatt-hour in
1972 was substantially less than in 1952.
However, if reliable electric service is to be provided
in the future, rising costs must eventually be passed
on in the form of increased rates to the consumer.

Instead of “Quit jumping on the sofa
this minute,” try “Let’s see how high
you can jump on the floor.”
“Once a command has been given,
follow it through,” Miss Fleisher
exphasized. “Otherwise, the child will
stop paying attention.”
- Change the enviornment to achieve
desired behavior.
“Three tools are anticipation, diver-
sion and substitution. For example, in
order to get a toddler to the bathroom
ask him to ‘Go find the soap.’
“Whispering often adds a magical
effect.”
—Set limits.
Although a child definitely needs
limits, balance then—and impose only
those necessary, the specialist said.
“A resonable number is beneficial at
least the child knows where he stands.
“However, limits shouldn’t be condi-
ered restraints, but channels for
normal behavior.
“A youngster needs things he can
touch and places he can go, as well as
those he shouldn’t.”
In general, a child can’t always
control his own impulses. He may vary
from great independence at times to
cling dependence.
“Protect him from real harm, but not
to the point he becomes upset over
minor hurts.
“When setting limits, don’t tear the
child down,” Miss Fleischer stressed.
“Give love and praise generously.”
- Show your love.
From the time they’re infants, talk
things over with children. Sing to
them, read stories and recite nursery
rhymes.
“Show they’re respected as persons,”
she added.
“In addition: indicate your love for
others. The concept of sharing and

“Thus, sharing should be on terms
they understand—such as the counting
technique. An example of this is letting
each child bounce on the horse for a
count of 25.
“Young children seem to understand
this is fair,” Miss Fleischer concluded.
“It may be quicker, easier and
neater to do many things yourself, but
the goal is to give the child
responsibility for his own behavior.”
According to the specialist, six
guidelines encourage the “positive”
approach to living with children.
— Give command in the line with a
child’s nature.
“Commands often interfere with a
toddler’s natural curiosity, exploration,
sense of adventure and perpetual
motion.
“For example, if the child enjoys
:petfing into drawers, furnish him one of
his own. By diverting his behavior
through a substitute, reprimands will
diminish.”
Consider the child’s ability and your
expectations.
“Match expectations to his current
abilities. After all, it takes time for a
toddler to eat without creating come
mess.’’
Have more “Do’s and fewer
"don'ts."
“Vse the positive approach—it works
wonders with youngsters. Indicate
what to do, not what not to.”
Avoid “head-on” clashes with child-
ren by channeling actions. Many
problems can be short-circuited if
imagination is used and outlets
provided for feelings, according to one
authority.
“Instead of punishing a child,
consider letting him take the conse-
quesces instead.”
This advice comes from Jane
“We need to be as
concerned and shocked by
what amounts to mass mur-
der on our highways as we
are by combat deaths in
Vietnam or crimes of vio-
lence,” Congressman Ray
Roberts said today in Wash-
ington.
His statement was made in
support of the Omnibus
Highway Safety Act of 1972,
which calls for a greatly
increased vemphasis, on high-
way safety. Roberts, a
ranking member of the Public
Works Committee’s transpor-
tation subcommittee, is a
sponsor of the bill.
“It’s hard for people to
really imagine the senseless
tragedy reflected in statistics
showing that in 1971, alone,
50,000 people died, 2 million
were injured, and $14 million
in property damages resulted
from traffic accidents,” said
Roberts.
The Fourth District Con-
gressman noted that highway
deaths outnumbered combat
losses in Vietman during the
period of the war by almost 10
to 1.
“Incredible as it may seem,
two persons are killed and
another 200 are injured every
10 minutes of every day, and
