By The Way... (Continued from Page 1) Really, I enjoyed the brief interlude of darkness and quiet- no television, no radio, no gad gets running. I’m thankful that it didn’t come during that almost zero weather. Have you ever really thought of how much you use electricity? Around here when the power goes off the lights are out, of course; the freezer and refrig erator stop running; washing and drying clothes are impos sible; the garbage disposal is silent; the thermostat won’t turn on the furnace; there is no toast, no coffee; the sewing machine won’t stitch; the add ing machine won’t add. Things just about come to a screeching halt. So—perhaps this is a good time to say a nice word about the competent manner in which our city renders electric ser vice. We may complain about our utility bills at times, but we would be hard pressed to replace the services provided by electricity at the price we pay. FINALLY! After many years of waiting, we finally have our traffic lights at the intersection of Boundary and Drayton Streets. This is a place where controls were badly needed, especially for those traveling on Drayton Street. We are glad the Highway De partment agreed to allow the installation of the lights, and that City Council voted the ne cessary funds. Thank you, Gentlemen! CRIME PREVENTION . . .
