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!
