Want a Vacation
from Marriage?
Alvia Blake went south on hU va-
cation. for mom fishing, and left hit
Miaana to enjoy a vacation from the
corncob pipe, clothes in a heap, and
aoloa on the harmonica.
First ten days, Martha enjoyed
it—house neat and quiet, top back
on the toothpaste, no morning mess
f rom A1 vin’s midnight snacks (Al’s
partial to a bit of cheese and beer
at bedtime).
Come the end ei the week, she
began to fidget; eouldat even read
the Clarion, K looked ao unmanned;
didn't have any appetite with no-
body to cook for. She was about to
wire Al, when he barges home a
week ahead at time, and she almost
cries for gratitude. (“Felt the same
way myself," says AL)
From where I ait, those differ-
ences of habit and opinion —

cob pipes, a glass of beer, or play-
ing the harmonica, seem mighty
trivial when you’re separated. And

All right, then, he r-cel-y isn't an cd .it all, if ytni want
to be technical, llis name's l lcctrophorus (Gymnotus)
Electricu*—Jim for short. He’s a South American
cousin of the carp and catfish.
Maybe Jim docs pack a wallop of 600 volts when he's hungry
or annoyed (and he has a shocking temper)—BUT—
Can he wash 3 tubs of clothes?
Or tell the correct time
for 4 days?
Op light a hundred-watt bulb
for 3 hours—
fur u penny?
You het he can’t. He’s not usefully cel-cctrified. Franklv,
y«Hi'd better flip a switch if you want convenient, dependable
electricity—all you need—at low cost.
And speaking of low cost—did you know that the average
family is getting twice as much electricity for its money as it
did 15 years ago? That's no accident—like Jim and his tempera-
mental voltage. Folks in this company have done a good job
under sound business management. That's why your electric
service is lower in cost—and higher in efficiency—than ever
before.
