TO BRING YOU ELECTRIC SERVICE!
TT takes miles of copper wires, lots of poles, transformers, insu-
lators and dozens of other items, as well as highly skilled
workmen, to get electricity to your switch.
Such things are mighty scarce right now. Delays in production
throughout the nation have caused serious shortages of the ma-
terials and equipment which are vital to extending service to new
customers. And the number of folks wanting electric service is
rapidly increasing. (
However, here at CPL, we are engineering, improvising, con-
serving and substituting to stretch our materials as far as they will
go. One way or another, we are connecting most new customers
promptly. We are also making every effort to maintain the kind
of good electric service our old customers have come to expect...
dependable electricity that’s ready and waiting at the Hick of a
switch!

IF YOU ARE WAITING
FOR ELECTRIC SERVICE
You can be assured that we are doing
everything humanly possible to get to you
as fast as we can. Your understanding and
cooperation will be appreciated.

■nearby town, filed her claim with
the local office, it was disallowed
because her husband's record show-
ed insufficient employment. She
later returned to the office, asked
for reconsideration of her case and
produced evidence that her husband
had been employed by an oil refin-
ery. Officials of the refinery had
submitted his wage records under
another name and account number
and this incorrect report had caus-
ed the initial disallowance of her
claim. When Social Security Admin
istration workers investigated the
case, they found that she was en-
titled to the benefits she had claim-
ed.
“If this widow had not been fa-
miliar with her husband’s employ,
ment record, we would never have
discovered this error and she would
have been denied the money to
which sh was entitled,’’ Tuley said
in urging employers in industry
and commerce to keep complete and
accurate payroll records of the
names and account numbers of all
workers.
A great proportion of wage re-
port errors are due to inaccuracies
in name spelling or in transposition
of digits in account numbers, the
local field office manager pointed
out. Many unidentified wage items
result when a worker is on the job
only one or two days and the em-
ployer fails to get his social secur-
ity account number.
Another difficulty has arisen be-
cause brides, divorcees and other
workers who have changed their
names do not report these changes
to the field office and often their
wage records are kept under two
names, Tuley explained. Notifica-
tion of a name change can be made
on an "Employee’s Request (for
Change in Records” form, available
at the local field office.
This attention to detail is neces-
sary because workers' names and
account numbers are so closely link-
ed with the future monthly benefits
provided under the old-age and
survivors insurance system, he said.

Penicillin Types
Penicillin li produced by • mold
but the type of mold used and the
medium or "food" on which it grows
produce a mixture of types each
differing In ability to control dif-
ferent kinds of bacteria. Chemical-
ly, the penicillins differ only In the
arrangement of atoms In one part
of the penicillin molecule. By add-
ing certain chemicals to the me-
dium for the mold, researchers
changed the proportion of different
penicillins produced by the mold.
The resulting drug thus could be de-
signed to have a greater amount of
a particular type of penicillin to
combat a given kind of bacteria
more effectively. Moreover, the
studies found that the addition of
these chemicals Increased the total
yield of penicillin In one case by
