PFC. GROVER EDWARDS
TELLS OF LIFE IN
FIJI ISLANDS
Mrs. Frank Fleming, Jr., has
received a letter from her bro
ther, Pfc. Orover William Ed
wards, who is with the medical
corps In the FIJI Isles. Pfc. Ed
wards said "the Islands as a
whole are on the tropical side.
The natives are wonderful phy
sical specimens and very friend
ly to the American soldier. They
are very dark, with bushy hair
that stands straight up, and
when trimmed has the appear
ance of being starched and
looks artificial."
Pfc. Edwards said also "there
is such an abundance of foll
age and grass everywhere that
I have no trouble In finding
food for my horse. When I go
Into the Jungle, which I fre
quently do, I never bother to
take a canteen, but rely on co
conuts as a means of quench
ing my thirst. We get them
lust before they are ripe, cut
the top off the green husk,
break a hole In the shell ? and
there you are with a drinking
cud already filled."
Pfc. Edwards spoke of the
Christmas package from home
which reached him in perfect
condition, the Christmas Eve
play put on by some of the
fellows,' and the turkey dinner
Christmas Day. He la the son
of Mrs. O. D. Edwards and the
late Mr. Edwards and has been
overseas almost two years.

Education Board
Makes Report On School
Theatre To P.T.A.
At the March meeting the
P. T. A. voted to ask the High
lands Township Board of Educa
tion to give the Association a
financial report on the school
theatre at the next regular
meeting. It is anticipated that
the board's report will form the
main part of the program for
the April meeting which will be
held on Tuesday, April 4th, at
8 p. m., in the school lunch
room. Charles J. Anderson is
chairman of the board and, the
other two members are Walter
A. Bryson and Frank H. Potts.
This report, which has not
been made for some time, is of
particular Interest to the P.TA.,
since this organization was the
original sponsor of the theatre
as well as instrumental in rais
ing the money to meet WPA
regulations for the present
theatre building, and has always
been called upon to supplement
the profits from the theatre
for urgent school purchases.
Since the school and the
theatre are of public concern,
a cordial Invitation is extended
to the public to attend * the
April meeting next Tuesday
night.

What Is Mm Charles A. Coffin Foundation?
HE PURPOSE of the Charles A? Coffin
Foundation is to encourage and reward
distinguished achievement in the electrical
by "prizes to employees; by recognition to light
ing, power, and railway companies for improve
ment in service to the public; by fellowships to
deserving graduate students; and by the grant
of funds for research work at technical schools
and colleges."
Establishment of the awards was announced
twenty-two years ago in a statement issued by
President Swope and dated December l, 1922:
" On May t6, 1922, Charles A. Coffin in his 78th
year retired from the active leadership 0} the General
Electric Company. Mr. Coffin has teen identified
with the development 0} the electrical industry since
1882. He was the founder and creator of the General
Electric Company, of which he has teen the in
spiration and leader for thirty years.
"As an expression of appreciation of Mr. Coffin's
great work not only for the General Electric Com
pany tut also for the entire electrical industry and
with the desire to make this appreciation enduring
and constructive as Mr. Coffin's life and work
have teen , the Board of Directors of the General
Electric Company , created on his retirement and
now desires to announce the 'Charles A . Coffin
Foundation.' "

?BUY WAR BONOS
to the People who Produce
your Electric Light
and Power
The Charles A. Coffin Foundation \
confers a special citation for
distinguished wartime achievement
' on the I
v ELECTRIC UGHTand POWER INDUSTRY ^
"Faced with unprecedented demands, the Electric Light and
Power Industry has met every war-production requirement
without delay and without impairment of its Peacetime services
, to the public. This achievement merits the appreciation not
only of American industry but of the entire nation. "
? f ROM TH? CITATION
THIS CITATION is richly merited ? for here is a
branch of industry that has done a remarkable
war job that has not been generally recognized.
If electric power should fail, or if it be too little or
too late, the disastrous effects would startle all America.'
Vital machines would be motionless. Millions of homes
would be cold ? and an eerie blackout would descend
over the land.
But, electricity has not failed. Rather, in 1943 twice (
as much power was produced as in the year before the(
war ? with the minimum of new facilities ? and despite
large losses of skilled employees to the Armed Services.]
In the words of J. A. Krug, Director, Office of War.
Utilities of W.P.B., "Power men ? public and private-?,
should be proud of the job that has been done in provid
ing power supply. Power has never been too little or tool
late." 'i
We of General Electric, who have built a large part'
of the electric equipment which generates, distributes/
and uses the electric power of America, take pride in'
the way this equipment is standing up under the strain'
of "forced draft" wartime operation.
Many of the men and women responsible for this'
remarkable record are your neighbors ? the manager
or meter reader who lives across the street, the girl in
the accounting department who is in your bridge club,
the lineman with whom you bowled last night. A word
of appreciation from you to them will lend added sig-'
nificance to this well deserved citation. General Electric
