Because while the electricity you’re using today is one of the best buys around, the electricity you waste is expensive. The televi sion set that’s on while you’re out of the room, for example. Or the thermostat that’s set too high in the winter. To help you avoid wasting electricity— and get the most for your electric dollar—Vepco would like to give you a copy of a new free booklet, “How to Save on Your Electric Bill!’ You can pick up a copy at any Vepco office, and it’s filled with easy, sensible money-sav ing ideas anyone can use. HSome of the suggestions are as simple as remember ing to close the re frigerator door, or cleaning the lint filter on your electric dryer. But some of the ideas aren’t quite so obvious. Like re pairing that leaky hot water faucet: one drop a second adds up to al most 200 gallons a month and that’s a lot of hot water (and electricity) down the drain! And what about turning out the lights when you leave the room? Some people don’t, because they think turning a light on and off uses more electricity than leaving it on. They’re cussed. It was part of a three-day trip through North Carolina which included ral lies and mass meetings on black college campuses and tours through both rural and urban areas of the state. Georgia Stale Rep. Julian Bond was the featured speak er at the brief meeting at the Municipal Building which drew some 50 people, mostly Negroes. Bond told the audience he was “here to urge you to get. involved in politics.” But he .was quick to point out that the voter registration drive is strictly non-partisan. “I would not stand here and ask you to vote for Sen. McGovern nor foolish enough to suggest that ydu vote for President Nixon," he said. He cited ma n y changes which have happened to bene fit the black people in this country over the past few years. “These changes did not just happen,” he added. “You and people like you made them happen, and now nothing is stopping you from participating.” Continued on rage 5 ideas are all the kind you can use without being an electrical engineer, and they’ll all help you get the most for your money—which is always a bargain. We want you to enjoy the convenience of electricity, but we want you to enjoy the economy, too. So we hope you’ll stop by or call your Vepco office for a free copy of “How to Save on Your Electric Bill" today. Because when it comes to economy, there’s nothing we’d like more than for you to see the light.
