Novel Election Campaign
Elec Thrifts Announces Candi
dacy for Commissioner of Hap
piness of the Carolinas on
StroHK Platform
With the avowed purpose of bring
ing greater happiness into the homes
of the CSirolinas, ELEC THRIFT,
well known throughout the Tarheel
and Palmetto states as a staunch ad
vocate of efficiency and economy in
home management, today announces
his candidacy for Commisioner of
Happiness, with an appealing plat,
form containing many unique yet
practical planks.
“Upon the solicitation of thousands
of friends among the home-makers
of the Carolinas, I have consented to
become a candidate for Commissioner
of Happiness” says ELEC THRIFT,
■whose campaign is being sponsored
by the electrical dealers, “and I pro
pose to wage an active campaign for
election to this important office.
"From the Atlantic Ocean to the
western borders of the Carolinas,
there is a crying need for more hap
piness in our homes, declares the
Happiness candidate “and I pledge
my every effort to seeing that Com
fort, Convenience, Economy and other
contributing factors to happiness are
brought to the doors of every Caro
lina home from modest cottage to
palatial mansion |
“As I look upon the faces of thous
ands of fair women in these glorious
states and think of their youth,
strength and joy being despoiled by
that monster. Drudgery, that con
temptible scoundrel who lurks in the
kitchens and other places in our
homes eager to commit our woman
hood to virtual slavery, I boil with in
dignation” says ELEC THRIFT.
“Happiness in every home shall be
my guiding instinct if elected to the
office of Commissioner of Happiness’.’
states ELEC THRIFT, “and before
the campaign ends my slogan, “In
dependence for Carolina Housewives”
shall come to have a meaning with
as much import as Patrick Henry’s
famous declaration ‘Give Me Liberty
or Give Me Death'! From sandhills to
towering peaks, ‘Happiness in every
Home” shall echo and re-echo ere my
campaign ends in victory.
“Away with old tedious methods of
handling household task.s, bring on
the new and let Drudgery be forever
barred from the homes of the Car
olinas” proclaims ELEC THRIFT, I
shall strive to see every woman has
the chance to save her Time, Labor
and Money through the use of modem
home-making methods”.
Campaign managers for ELEC
THRIFT predict that the Happiness
candidate will be swept into office
by an overwhelming vote. From every
section of the Carolinas messages
have been received pledging support
to the ELEC THRIFT campaign.
In connection with the campaign,
several features of unusual interest
to the public have been arranged and
every homemaker is urged to visit an
electrical dealer’s store for complete
details of the most novel election
campaign ever sponsored in the Car
olinas.

Cleaning Up and Beautify
ing the Town
The Home and Garden Club of
Aberdeen has again resumed its reg-
ularmeetings, the first of the fall
being a business session at the home

Plans were made for the tea to be
held for the teachers, which is al
ways the first social meeting of the
fall.
Although disbanded during the
summer as far as regular meetings
were concerned, this organization
with twenty members has been far
from idle. Recently, with the coop
eration of the Town Commis.sioners,
the club sponsered Clean-Up Week.
This has meant a great deal to the
tow’n in appearance and tends to pro
mote a friendlv competitive spirit
with the good Sf the community at
heart.
The club spent more than $100 dur

provement to the town. Two out

ing of permanent evergreens and
flowering shrubs about the Commun
ity House and the lot around the City
Hall
The club feels deeply indebted to
its many friends who have contrib

has sponsered, for it has always taken
an active part and stood for the
things that make a more worthwhile
and attractive community.
Two distinctive features the club
sponsors yearly are the Fli^wer Gar

Lighting contest.. Each contest is open
to interested residents of the town,
and do much to make homes attrac
tive. The prizes offered are an in
centive to each competitor to do her
