The postwar years hold the promise of many more electric time
and labor-saving comforts. Such things as frozen-food cabinets, auto-
matic washers, electric blankets, and fluorescent lighting will become
a part of our daily living.
And you can be sure that the experienced men and women of
business-managed Central Power and Light will continue to provide you
with plenty of low-cost, dependable electricity in the postwar electric era.

# CENTRAL POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY
DON'T WASTI lllCTIICIty JUST SICAUSI IT'S
H I A P
167 Elec. Companies
Announce Stand On
Fed. Power Projects
NEW YORK.—One hundred and
sixty-seven of the nation’s electric
light and power companies, repre-
senting a large part of the busi-
ness-managed electric industry, in
a joint statement today made known
their position with regard to pro-
posed river developments by the
United States Government. These
developments, providing for the
creation of the Missouri Valley Au-
thority and other projects similar
to TVA, as well as the completion
of several already in operation, en-
tail an estimated initial expenditure
in excess of $.1,850,000,000.
Four specific points are made by
the electric companies in defining
their attitude toward these govern-
ment undertakings:
1. Whenever a dam is proposed,
all of its purposes should be clearly
defined in the legislation—flood
control, navigation, irrigation or
power.
2. Government-produced power
should be sold to existing power
systems without special privilege
or discrimination, so as to avoid
costly duplication and to insure wid-
est use and lowest rates.
8. Any savings thus effected
should be passed along to consum-
ers under state or other regulations.
4. Government may properly reg-
ulate business, but should not op-
erate business.
Commenting on a statement of
river development policy issued by
167 electric companies, Lon C. Hill,
president of Central Power and
Light Company, one of the spon-
sors of the statement, asserted:
“The business-managed electric
companies throughout the nation
have stated their position as to gov-
ernment river development clearly
and simply. They have asked for no
special favors and have tsjken a
stand which I believe is in the pub-
lic interest and which is in keeping
with the American way of doing
things.
“Central Power and Light Com-
pany has long felt that the nation's
water resources should be develop-
ed and conserved where practical.
A recent demonstration of its be-
lief in this principle is the active
way in which the company has been
working for a system of. govern-
ment dams on , the Rio Grande
which will affordlmuch needed con-
trol of the watey in that river and

A Prayer for Peace: “0 God, our
Father, in this hour of world tribu-
lation, look upon the unrest of Thy
people everywhere and be pleased
to complete the work of Thy heal-
ing hand. Send peace upon the
earth, a deeper and more lasting
peace than the world has ever
known; peace that springs from
the hearts of Thy children. Draw
all men unto Thyself and to one
another by the bonds of love. Grant
understanding to the Nations with
an increase of sympathy and mutual
good will, that they may be united
a sacred brotherhood wherein
, ustice, mercy and faith, truth and
freedom, may flourish, so that the
sacrifice of those who have died
may not have been in vain, for the
sake of Jesus Christ, our ‘ Lord.
Amen.”

The pastor and wife enjoyed
trip to Markham last Sunday after
the morning preaching here in our
own Church. It was Home-coming
Day for the Church there and
great crowd had gathered with
basket lunch which was served un
der a large canvas tabernacle. Af-
ter the lunch, the congregation
gathered in the Church auditorium
to sing and give a word of testi
mony and appreciation for the
Church and her Pastor. Our mes
sage 'wias the closing part of that
program. Bro. A. C. Maxwell
Houston was to be there for the
evening message.
The first Sunday after the En-
campment is past now and we can
go on with our regular program
again. But we didn’t do so bad last
Sunday; look at the report on the
Sunday School Board arjd you will
be agreeably surprised. Perhaps in
due time we will never suffer
shock thru the Encampments com
ing along.
Notice to those living in th<
Prairie Center Community: We will
not have services at the school
building during the months of Aug-
ust and September due to the cot-
ton picking rush during these
months. Last Friday night was our
last service until October. We do
appreciate the interest you mani-
fested and the many kindnesses you
showed us while we were coming
out there and Vie hope to be able
to serve you again when it is con-
venient for you.
Calling all Sunday School Teach-
ers of our Church: Do not forget
our teacher’s meeting next 'Wednes-
day night after the prayer service.
We want to check with those who
have their diplomas and those who
do not so that we may plan addi-
tional study courses for those of us
who lack a little work on ours.
Brotherhood Men: Did you know
that on the night of August 2nd,
and that is next Thursday night,
we have an Associational-wide
Brotherhood barbecue in LeTulle
Park. We are to be the guests of
the 'Markham Brotherhood. We
ought to have 25 men from our
Church. You will probably get a
letter from Brother Luther .Rnbert-
son announcing the meeting with
the hour.
Have you church folk noticed how
our little trees are growing? We
have been keeping them watered
when Providence didn’t (water them
for us and it now appears that in
less than 50 years we will have a
shady grove on our Church lawn.
