ELECTION 1944 It happened at the Colemans' party. The crowd got to talking about the high cost oi living- which is one of Mrs. Frazer's favorite topics. She told in detail how her husband had to increase the family clothing allowance and how hard it was to balance the food budget and wasn't it dreadful how much more everything cost! So Bill Coleman quietly reminded her that at least one household necessity had not gone up. 1 She almost exploded, "What's that?" "Electric service." said Bill. "And goveraxadnt figures show that instead of increasing, the average price of electricity has actually decreased since war began. The shock was a little too much for Mrs. Fraxer. Luckily, Ed Lutz was there to catch her. You may find Bill's statement as hard to believe '. as Mrs. Frazer .did. But it's a tact And it's not just a wartime phenomenon. Electric rates have been coming down for years so far and ) . so fast that with increased usage, the average family pays only about half as much per kilowatt-hour as it did IS years ago. In other words, you're getting twice as much ' for your money. ' U.S. Bureau of Labor 5tattiticf NEBRASKA P017EE1 COMPANY Low Rates Good Service er. and. Fleming will be hostesses.

Y ' "The war sure has made a lot of changes in this old world of ours, hasn't it, Judge?" "Plenty of them, John. One that few people realize is. that the rubber producing center of the world is now right here in the United States. When the Japs conquered the big natural rubber producing centers of the world they thought they had us licked. But in two short years, thanks to American industry, we are now producing synthetic rubber, enough to supply , all our military and essential civilian needs, Our rubber experts knew how to make it but the problem was to get the huge amounts of industrial alcohol needed. Al most overnight the country's beverage dis tillers stopped making whiskey and converted 100 to the production of this vital in gredient. A high government official said recently this was '...an almost unparalleled example of the overnight conversion of an entire industry from peace to war.'" "Come to think of it. Judge,,. ;t. was. a ; mighty fortunate thing the beverage distil- ling industry was in. existence, wasn't it?" i HP,tTilii Tkii wnnwni tpntKti by Ctftrt Akohtiit Brtt InJtstrUs, Inc.
