\ our electric service is still lor in cost... still
at its pre-war price! And this is certainly help-
ful these days, at a time when other items in the
cost of living are skyrocketing! It is an interest-
ing and comforting fact that, during the past 30
years... during two world wars and the years
between ... the cost of electricity has always
been low, with a price trend downward, while
the costs of clothing, household furnishings,
food and rent have fluctuated widely and
mainly upward.

MOON IS DOWN
Along with having the ability to
pounce on a topic timely sensational
Mr. Steinbeck certainly has the quality
of style to put it over, color his ward
pictures precicely, knit his plot togeth-
er neatly and delight the reader with
his brevity.
After having set about to “plunder
through it merely to see how it was
done’’ the reader finds he has read
each page not laborously but assiduously
and reached its conclusion in one sit-
ting without thumbing backward and
forward, reading the end, middle and
then beginning, but following it through
as the author designed it, which must
mean someting or other ... or maybe
its merely the fact the story was al-
ready familiar.
One of these days Mr. Steinbeck is
going to write something not only hu-
man and good and the rage but—maybe
the war will do it
Etcetiera: Books are like women—to
be enjoyed, loved, tolerated and a few
praised.

School).
