Believe it or not, a man by the name of Sherman has been elected to m political office in Georgia. mt s;-,. We would have had more for which be thankful if our dear delinquent subscribers had “come across.” With k|l of this talk about old age pensions, we wonder sometimes in our idle way how many bachelor girls would advocate an old! maid pension. ‘Employed Wives.” A short time ago the writer was discussing a variety of subjects with a well-informed woman. Casually, it was mentioned that Premier Musso lini, of Italy, is attempting to force women out of industry and back into the home (where, he contends, they belong) in an effort to relieve unem ployment among that nation’s bread winners. It was suggested that such m plan might bring some relief from present economic conditions in the United States. And a day or two later the News and Courier, under the above caption, made the following comment on some interesting figures by Nation’s Business: “More than one thoughtful man in this country, according to Nation’s Business, has wondered to what ex tent our troubles are due to the in flux of women into industry. “In 1800, of 11,000,000 married women in the United States, 515,000, or a little less than 5 per cent, were gainfully employed. In 1930 of 26,- 000,000 married women, 3,000,000 of them, or nearly 12 per cent., were gainfully employed. “Of all women, married anci single, 4,000,000 were employed in 1900 and 11,000,000 in 1930. “The startling figures, Nation’s Business says, are not of women workers, but of married women work ers. ‘One-third of the married women in the District of Columbia are em ployed.’ “What would ‘happen if we replaced 3,000,000 married women workers with 3/>00 ,000 unemployed men? Would our world come to an end or would it come nearer an economic balance?’ "This is a proper province in which women leaers should take the lead in discussion. Should government under the New Deal sanction employment of wives whose husbands are employed? Nation’s Business is discreet in its comment; so is The News and Cour ier.” And so is The People-Sentinel, but we would certainly like to hear the subject thoroughly debated!, either through the press or by some other method. Such a discussion would doubtless be enlightening—and en livening. WHITE’S GREATEST OF CHRISTMAS DOLLAR DAYS The J. B. White and Company store in Augusta long famous for its big Dollar Day sales is advertising in thia Issue of The People-Sentinel a Christmas Dollar Day sale for-Satur day, December 1st, in which they plan ^toieclipse in every way any previous aale of the kind at their store.

This year 20 kilowatt hours will cost you $1.55, and you can use 2 more kilowatt hours for the same $1.55. In other words, you get an immediate saving of 15c and are entitled to use 2 more kilowatt hours than you did a year ago. “IF your bill for December, 1933, was $3.15 for 40 kilowatt hours, this December you could use 6 more kilowatt hours or a total of 46 kilowatt hours, and your bill would be only $2.90. “oUPPOSE your bill for this month last year was $3.74 for 50 ^ ^ kilowatt hours; you can now use 70 kilowatt hours for $4.01, or pay only 27c more for 20 extra kilowatt hours, making these extra kilowatt hours cost you less than ILfcc each. “fF you used 100 kilowatt htmrs last December, and paid $5.85, 1 you can now get 149 kilowatt hours fdf only $5.60 or you can use 200 kilowatt hours and pay only $6.61; that is, for only 76c more than you paid last year, you get an extra 100 kilowatt hours—at a little over %c per kilowatt hour for the extra kilo watt hours. ******* * . • ■ n I F you used 200 kilowatt hours last December, and paid $8.85 —you can use 400 kilowatt hours this December for $9.12, that is, yod would pay only 27t more for the 200 additional kilo watt hours.” ' - f OLD RATE “A-l” (Net) 814c per Kwh for the first 30, Kwh 6 c ” ” ” v'next .7v:u4.. , i i .45‘.v’<: : <v3 c ” “ ” i'3l ” ^bfcc ” " “'all over ...y* 200 ” (1*40 per Kwh for all over~200 Kwh where automatic-storage water hotter is in use.)
