“The Voice Of Cooper Hi”
Safety
By Mary Lou Edwards
Do you know what safety
means? It moans brine: careful
as a pedestrian or a driver of a
ear, bus or vehicle. If you are a
good pedestrian or driver, then
you should know the laws and
regulations of safety.
Do you want the children to
go to school safely? You should,
because they are building the
future. Every day children are
killed or injured by careless
drivers. You should never pass
a school buss when it is stopped.
It is a $25 fine if you do. Cars
should drive slowly at school
zones and stop when children are
j crossing the street.
1 How fast do you drive when
going through town? Of course,
every town has a speed limit. In
Cooper the limit is 25 miles per
hour.
Naturally all people don’t drive
that fast and some drive even
faster. When you see a sign that
says, “Drive slow” it doesn’t mean
tor you to drive so slowly that
you hold up traffic. The signs
ant warnings were put up for
>our benefit, so take advantage
of them and don’t disobey them.
Another reason for accidents
that happen every day is drunk-
eness. If you can’t stay from
liquor, you should never drive a
car. You may have an accident
and kill someone when you won't
even hurt yourself. “If you drive,
don’t drink and if ,>ou drink, don t
drive,” is a very good rule to
follow.
Although you are in a hurry
be careful. If you wish to pass
a car, sound your horn so he will
know to move over. You should
not be a road-hog, remember the
time you were in a hurry, you
sounded your horn and the other
man wouldn’t let you pass. In-
stead he crowded you off the
road. Remember this when some-
one is trying to pass you.
Are you a good 'pedestrian?
Never before such a
range for rooking!
Before you buy look
for the ”CP” seal.

Rural Carrier Vickers
Is Some Stamp Lleker
Take it from Frank Vickers,
rural mail carrier of Marion in
Guadalupe county, a mail man
has to be quite a stamp lioker.
Especially is this true at Christ-
mas, Easter or Valentine day.
One day, recently he had to stick
on 1,700 stamps for his patrons.

Calif., the angry surf returned to the onslaught again, crashing over the cement walk and cascading into
living rooms of waterfront homes. Photo was taken after the wild waves had calmed down to a great
extent. Woman at extreme right is shown shoveling debris away from her front door.
Most of the people aren’t. Do you
want to stay alive? If so, you
should know the laws and regula-
tions as well as a driver. Do you
cross the street when the light
says stop? There are many rules
which people should follow, but
don’t. You should stop when the
light says stop. In the larger
cities ti ey have streetcars. Be-
fore crossing the street to get
on the streetcar you should make
sure there art no cars coming
either way. They have places for
the pedestrians to stand where
the traffic dosen’t hit them. If
you do these things and more you
will be a good pedestrian or driv-
er and will aid the community.

The freshmen smarting from a
19 to 0 defeat at the hands of the
seniors in an exibition game came
back strong Monday to show a
much better brand of ball, but
still found themselves defeated
6 to 1 in favor of the seniors.
Tuesday a very thrilling game
between the juniors and sopho-
mores found the sophomores on
top with a 7 to 5 decision.

more interesting games will fol-

ON YOUR ELECTRIC SERVICE DOLLA
[;
«* * -
..WHILE OVER-ALL LIVING COSTS ARE UP
Electric service (together with other public utility services) by the end of 1946,
was 8.3 cents cheaper out of each dollar paid out for this service than in the
base period of 1935-39, according to figures of the United States Bureau of
Labor. That is, the amount of electric service that cost $1.00 before the war
cost only 91.74 in 1946.
During the same period, over-all living costs rose by 454 per dollar spent. Food
purchased for $1.00 between 1935 and 19*9, cost $1.74 in 1946. Clothing leaped
from a $1.00 base to $1.65, house furnishings to $1.65 ... and even rent, though
held down by OPA ceilings, advanced about 54 on the dollar.
Despite increased labor and material costs, Texas Power A Light Company has
voluntarily reduced your electric service rates since the end of World War II;
has voluntarily reduced rates generally three times since 1935, and six times
since 1925. Today your TP&L service costs less than half as much per kilowatt-
hour as it did in 1925.
This direct saving to you has been made possible by sound ma
a loyal, experienced organization with a sincere and unceasing ’
you greater opportunity to enjoy at lower cost the many
modern electric service affords.
