OAK HILL NEWS
MRS. EDGAR OWEN
OAK HILL, Oct. 2—Recently whil.
attending the great convention 1
the Texa.s Home Demonstration As-
sociation of Women's f'luits in th:i♦
beautiful city of Lubbock, and hear-
ing the reports from various counties,
we were brought fact to face, with
the fact that we of Bastrop c unt?
are wasting time, and losing opport
unities. .Mis. J. L. Morris, the outgo-
ing President of the association na
wanted m st of all during h-r te-:n
of office, itave eluh women he!|,
their men organize agricultural a
sftciations, in every county in the
state. Many counts - reported having
done so, with quite a few gett: '
nght down to the homes l y having
community a-sociation.-. We regret-
ted very much that we were unable
to report any. Many of the counti< •
reported county libraries, and a nurri
her of them are delivered to the pert-
pie in the "Book-mobile," which Kiv-
es the farm people a golden opnor-
tunity to Im- well informed at no cost.
Others had the libraries arranged at
court houses, where they were avail-
able to the public.
Another feature of the program
was the illustrated address, "Th
]/)rd Helps Those," by Mr C.
Bowie®. Specialist in Cooperative
Marketing. To -tress the point of
adult education, the picture showed
the living quarters, kind of work, and
wages received by the people of Nova
Scotia, before a specialist in coopera-
tive marketing, and other educational
leaders, eame to them with Jec
turc.a. and demonstrations of how
they might lift themselve from pov-
ierty and ignorance to prosperity, and
< duration, by studying. Night school>
were established and adult education
i egun. Fntire families were enrolled.
As a result these people were lift,'-!
to a higher plane of living, and re-
ceived for their nroduct a price w«r
thv of their effort. Now we would
like to see a great awakening in our
county for more cooperation of otj;
rural people in educating <>urs "|Vf -
t< ;ne,t the responsibilities of the
changing time-. Many school hou-e.
are almost abandoned, and it would
be a wonderful thing if w. would
start schools f<>r adults.
If we only ntet one or tw< n-irh'*
each week, much k°<m1 u >ul<l f t u.--

LOWER COLORADO RIVER AUTHORITY is a
public servant in that it was created by the State—by you, ii you
please, as a citizen ... in that it administers one of the state's nat-
ural resources for the benefit of the people of the State ... in that
it is essentially a non-profit institution.
And certainly it fills a public need. Cheap power will broaden
your use of that indispensable servant of modern living—electricity;
will make it possible for you to enjoy added conveniences and new.
labor-saving equipment in your home, on your farm, at your place
of business.
A public servant created to fill a public need for cheap power
—that brief statement gives you about as good a definition of the
Lower Colorado River Authority as you can get!
/
Cheap power trom L. C R. A. dams will moke tl possible lor
yog to buy and use many new pieces oi rlertrmil equipment
choap power means better living lor yo;i.
