Oar 66th Year & mi The giraffe and the turtle tell their own story . . . they help to remind us that electricity, almost alone among household necessities, is still sold at low pre-war prices. You realize how low these prices are when you know that the average American family now gets about twice as much electricity for its money as it did 15 years. It's a real achievement to keep elec tric service cheap in spite of rising costs and taxes and to keep it plenti ful in the face of war's tremendous demands for power. The credit goes largely to the hard working men and women of your electric company. Their skill and ex perience plus the planning and fore sight of sound business management have made this record possible. NEBRASKA POWER COMPANY Low Rates Good Service all been idedued. With this in mind. ;he "freeze order" on corn should be lifted soon perhaps about the lFah of June. In order to do this, it is necessary that the corn which has not cr cannot be delivered to the elevators by that time, be piaied under contract to be delivered at a later date and this is the job we now have to do. Everyone who has pledged corn, or win intends to pl-vlge it, siiould either contact their local precinct committeeman an! sign a contract or should call at the county office during th's wcvk to do so. This is important we -ire leaving it up to each of you to do so since corn not delivered or placed under contract before the "freeze; order' the 5 is lifted, will not receive per cent shelling payment.
