her classmates of 1936 she is Mar

start promptly at 11 o'clock. Saturday,
May 27, in the Phi Hall. Speaker Mar
garet Arlen has already assured us
that she will be on time—in fact she
expects to arrive Friday evening. May

ing Tomorrow.”
ToAstmiister Aiiiiouncod
Beth Carroll Taylor (Mrs. C. E.), ’22,
of Charlotte, will be toastmaster at
the annual alumnae luncheon on Alum

very active participant in all school
affairs. Her interest has carried over.
She’s not only an active alumna but
also a valued trustee of the college.
The luncheon will be at 1 o’clock in
the college dining hall, following the
annual alumnae meeting. We shall be
happy to meet our toastmaster on

It’s still
BIG MONEY
in our business!
The ordinary copper penny has lost a lot of its
purchasing power these days — and even some of its
copper. But it still buys as much electricity as ever.
For example, right now in your home a penny
will toast about twenty slices of bread — or brew ten
cups of coffee — or clean five big rugs — or run your
refrigerator for several hours.
Rather startling what a penny will do when you
think of it that way, isn't it?
Actually, the price of electricity came down so
steadily before the war — and it has stayed down so
successfully since —that today the average family
gets about twice as much electricity for the same
money it paid fifteen years ago.
All this didn’t just happen, of course. It’s due
largely to the hard work, efficiency and experience
of your friends and neighbors who man and manage
this company. That’s why a penny, spent for elec
tricity, buys so much.
Caution: Even though electricity is cheap -
even though it isn’t rationed—PLEASE don't waste
IT. Coal, oil, manpower, transportation go into the
making of electricity and these are critical war
resources.
