Is “Hooey” Long a joker or a
' jokeeter ?
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.
It is interesting to know that
^White’s has engaged many extra salefc-
‘ptople for this great sale. These
m.espeopL* are familiar with the
methods and stocks of the J. B. White
atore, as they have assisted on ihany
previous occasions, and tan render
Mpert service on this very busy day.
Extra wrappers and cashiers will also
he on duty to faciliate serving the
huge crowds that will throng White’s
in this sale.
With Christmas less than a month
off, it will be welcome news that gift
items are largely featured in the big
Dollar Day program, and thousands
of toys are offered at the attractive
price of $1 each.
EVery purchase carries White’s
positive guarant3e of satisfaction or
your money back.

Here’s What The New Prices For

Residential Electricity Mean^To You:

AN IMMEDIATE SAVING of $37,000 a year in the price of elec-
tricity which our customers are using in their homes ... this saving
will be effective with bills rendered on and after November 26,

gives examples’of these savings.

available to our customers for their money f and many receive more
electricity for less money. See Column headed ‘Tree Kilowatt
Hours at No Cost.” It means exactly what it says . . . you can add
more lighting, more appliances, or use your present equipment more
freely, to the extent indicated .. . without increasing your electric

“The novel and unusual feature of the new prices is that any
increase in your use of electricity comes to you either wholly or
partially FREE. ‘ ,V
By greater utilization of your lights and appliances, or the pur
chase of additional appliances which you perhaps have long de
sired, you may obtain additional kilowatt hours, above your
previous requirements, either without any cost or at bargain prices,
much lower than you have been paying.
“FOR EXAMPLEf
“SUPPOSE you used 20 kilowatt hours for this month last year,
your bill was $1.70. 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.” '

it was for the same month last year,- the service will be billed to
you at the immediate prices shown in Column 1.

during the same month last year, you will obtain either all or a
