1'v's Cow
“ •
When Ty Martin '.vent to college
under the (LI. Bill of Rights, he
took one of his Dad’s Holsteins and
enrolled it in the college herd.
Nobody thought it was odd for
Ty to bring a cow to college, be-
cause that’s what a lot of the boys
are doing —not only cows, but
chickens, sows, and ewes... for the
student-operated farm.
That way the boys pay part of
their expenses. They share in both
the products and the profits; allo-
cate the work; make their own
schedules and rules. They’re learn-
College
iny; not only how to be good fann-
ers but good citizens to boot. And
they’re learning industry and mod-
eration—next to milk it seems to
me that their favorite beverage is
wholesome, temperate beer.
From where I sit, the more edu-
cation is linked with practical
problems of working and getting
on together'—and practical habits
of industry and temperance — the
closer we are to its true purpose.

LIGHTING WITH GAS
The electric industry, like many others in Texas, is built on natural
resources. A great part of the electricity generated by public utilities in
Texas is produced with natural gas, much of which is supplied
from the lines of the United Gas system. You are, indeed, lighting your
home” with economical natural gas—converted into electricity.
But natural gas cannot be used to generate electricity while it s buried
in the ground. It must be gathered, processed and transporte
to places where it can be put to use. Otherwise .1 will
always remain worthless or wasted.
United Gas recovers this natural resource ... gives it t alu- a low co
but highly efficient fuel in more than 300 southern cities and towns.
This is practical conservation, for it stimulates industrial development,
creates jobs and benefits all the families m Texas.
GAS
* SB as Hi
ELECTRIC INDUSTRY
Texas’ larger business-managed electric
companies provide cheap, dependable electric
service to more than 1,300,000 customers.
In 1946 they produced nearly six billion kwh of
electricity for homes and industries of Texas.
More than 11,000 persons are on their payrolls,
earning in excess of $25,500,000 a year. This
is Free Enterprise at work—helping
all the people of Texas.
NATURAL GAS serves more...
costs less
than ever before.
