The tremendous cost of these
plants and other necessary facilities
is the reason the base price of
electricity has gone up in recent
years and the reason we’re asking
for a rate increase now.
Even so, the total price of electricity
supplied by TP&L will continue to
be lower than if lignite were not
steadily replacing gas. In 1977,
lignite saved the average residential
customer more than $46.00.
We’re working to keep your electric
service dependable and the price
as low as possible.

For almost 66 years, Texas Power
& Light Company has provided
dependable electric service in
North, Central and East Texas. From
1943 to 1972, the average price paid
by residential customers for each
kilowatt-hour dropped from 5
cents to just a l ittle more than
2 cents.
But, in the early 1970’s, the
skyrocketing cost of natural gas
began to drive the cost of electricity
up. TP&L began building plants
which use lower-cost lignite coal
and nuclear fuels.

At the present time, I am Justice of the Peace, Precinct No. 1, Place No. 1, Collin
County. I was born in Copeville, Collin County, Texas and have lived in McKinney for
52 years. For 18 years I was employed by the McKinney Gin Co. as bookkeeper, cotton
buyer and then manager. For 16 years I had a public accounting business. My wife,
Enola Cope, has been a nurse at Collin Memorial Hospital for the past 16 years.
I was elected to this office in 1971 and it has been my privilege and pleasure to serve
you, the people, in this capacity since that time.
Each year I attend Justice Court Training Classes to keep updated on new laws and
changing procedures. To date I have 60 hours schooling with Texas A&M Extension
Service, 20 hours with Lamar University and 80 hours with Southwest Texas State
University.
With the 7 years experience I’ve had in office and with the above schooling, I feel
qualified to continue to serve ALL the people in an impartial, fair and just manner.
I am asking to be re-elected as your Justice of Peace, Precinct No. 1, Place No. 1 on
May 6, 1978, Democratic Primary. Thank you.

their recent deployment to the
California-Nevada desert.
3 Allen men--Flight Commander
Robert Horstman, Staff Sergeant
Johnny Luttrile and Staff
Sergeant Kenneth Smith were a
part of the exercise.
During the massive two week
exercise dubbed Brave Shield 17,
and 254th established communi-
cations systems almost 500 miles
long, extending from Glendale,
Nevada to San Bernadino, Cali-
fornia.
From remote mountain peak to
arid desert flats, men and women
of the 254th set-up tents, raised
communications antennas, and
build administrative and opera-
tional shelters. The 254th along
with other Air National Guard
Combat Communications Groups
provided 90 per cent of all Air
Force communications assets
during the exercise. The commun-
ications support provided by Air
National Guard units is so im-
portant that a Joint Chiefs of
Staff exercise would almost be
impossible to conduct without
them.
Brave Shield 17 was designed to
test the readiness of U.S. combat
forces under field conditions. Over
26,000 soldiers, sailors, and air-
ment (active duty, guard, and
reserve) participated in the two
week deployment.
During Brave Shield 17, the
253th fielded 26 communications -
electronics packages at three
major and seven minor operating
locations. This communications
network allows exercise partici-
pants to keep in touch.

health, says Mrs. Jean Carlton, »cook foods thoroughly and
County Extension Agent. serve them hot,
Specifically: •prevent recontamination
through cleanliness and use of
II sanitary utersils,
•promptly cool or freeze foods
" after preparation to retard bac-
teria multiplication,
•and, fully reheat stored foods to
destroy bacteria, she advises.
In a survey of 2,503 households,
63 percent of those sampled used
at least one high risk practice in
handling, preparing and storing
selected meat and poultry pro-

Most of these high risk

Question - I don’t plan to retire
when I reach 65. As long as I’m
healthy, I’m going to keep on
working. Isn’t there some kind of
special credit for people who delay
getting their social security re-
tirement benefits?
Yes, a worker who doesn’t get
any benefits before age 65 and
delays retirement past 65 can get
a higher benefit later on. The
worker gets an increase of 1
percent for each year from age 65
to 72 that he or she didn’t receive
benefits because of work. Recent
legislation raises the amount of
the increase to 3 percent for each
year from 62 to 72. But, the new
percentage applies only to work-
ers who reach 62 in 1979 or later.
The first benefits that can be paid
under the new provision will be for
1983.
Question - I started getting
social security widow’s benfits, I
was told that my payments might
be stopped or reduced if I married.
Is this still true? I may remarry
this year.
Under a recent change in the law,
a widow or widower who remarries
after reaching age 60 will not have
her or his benefits reduced. Under
the old law, benefits to a widow or
widower were sometimes reduced
if the person remarried after age
60. This provision is effective for
benefits beginning January, 1979.
Benefits that had been reduced
under the old law will be increased
to the higher amount starting in
January, 1979.
Q. I plan to retire when I reach
65 in 1978. But, I may work some
months out of each year. Doesn’t
the social security law provide
that I can get my full benefit as
long as I don’t earn over a certain
amount each month?
A. Recently enacted legislation
provides that the monthly
measure will apply only in the
first year in which a person can
get at least one full monthly
benefit under the monthly
measure of retirement.
