Grandmother and grandfather signed up for electricity
way back when the Texas Power & Light Company built
a power line past the farm in 1915. Even then, this Texas
company, pioneering in rural electric service, was extend-
ing its lines as rapidly as possible to bring the modern
conveniences of electricity to farms and rural homes. By
192i, this company’s rural lines served 6,926 families; by
1931, the number increased to 13,323, and today the com-
pany serves more than 44,000 rural and farm homes in
-North, Central and East Texas.
In 1945, Texas Power & Light Company built 825
miles of rural lines, bringing dependable, low-cost elec-
tric service to approximately 5,000 new farm and rural
users increasing the total of its rural lines to more than
7,000 miles. This year, construction plans call for the
addition of about 1,000 miles of new rural lines by the
company to bring service to still another 5,000 new users.
ELECTRICITY
ON THE FARM
Electricity takes the place of
many farm hands, in getting
the chores done. Electric
power pumps water to the
house and > barn, grinds the
feed, milks the cow, sepa-
rates and churns the milk,
operates freezers, brooders,
blowers to cure the hay . . .
and does many other farm
jobs that formerly required
back-breaking labor.
> V»v
Thanks to cheap electricity,
the modern farm housewife
enoys the comforts and con-
veniences of the city home,
with her quick-freeze unit,
electric clolhes washer, dish-
washer, sweeper, iron and
other time- and labor-saving
electrical appliances.

the formula for a successful
cure. This means that- the dentist
must have an opporunity to dis-
cover the presence of the disease
at" the earliest possible moment
since the symptoms are often so
vague that the patient is unaware
of its existance,” Dr. Cox said.
“Regular visits to the family
dentist are there extremely im-
portant. ’ ’
The treatment of pyorrhea is
not an involved procedure. In!
the average early ease one of j
the main therapeutic features is I
the proper hygienic care of teeth!
is not the possession of informa-
tion but rather the ability to un-
derstand. This necessarily re-
quires that the individual seek
after the facts, think out their
bearing upon every-day life and
to orient self to a tremendous
world and a much larger uni-
verse^ It also encompasses the
establishment of a personal rela-
tionship itself in so many ways
to men and women everywhere.

G the basic cause for the condi-
tion.
The family dentist can usually
remove the cause of the trouble,
Dr. Cox said, and when this has
been done, intelligent routine
home care of the mouth by the
patient will effect a cure in the
majority of early cases.
Concern regarding pyorrhea
should not be based upon the
misguided notion of its incura-
bility, according to the State
Health Officer, but rather that
it be discovered by the dentist
when still in a curable stage.
