THE WORLD’S FAIR in New York is no doubt in
cluded in the vacation plans of many of you for this
year. When you get to the Fair I want you to make
a special effort to visit the Bell System exhibit.
Among the many other interesting things in the
exhibit you may want to play a game of Tic-Tac-Toe
with an electric computer.; This Tic-Tac-Toe player
is certain either to beat or tie you. Just press an “X”
and he counters with an “0” that will block your
move. If you’ve never played games with a ma
chine before, you’ll enjoy this! And nearby there’s
an age-guessing machine that always gives you the
right answer as long as you play fair and give honest
answers to the machine’s questions. If you’re
spending your vacation in New York . . . don’t miss
the Fair . . . and don’t miss the Bell System ex
hibit.

THIS IS BRIDES’ MONTH! If you’re a June bride, your
new husband already knows you’re beautiful and charm
ing and witty and captivating and sweet and thoughtful, and
the loveliest girl in the world! Show him you are efficient,
too. Have telephones installed in all the right places in
your new home. Choose them in colors to complement
your decorative scheme. Do your errands by telephone.

THE TELEPHONE BUSI
NESS INVOLVES MORE
THAN TELEPHONES! Ter
mites, for instance. Telephone
poles have to be specially
treated with preservative. Left
untreated, termites would
make a meal of them and
poles would have to be re
placed much sooner. Special
treatment makes them last
years longer. This is another
way the phone company
makes your telephone dollars
go further.

Sad news from Goldsboro
is to the effect that the D.

to add a footnote in this col
umn just to comment on one
aspect of the occasion. The
softness of the twilight hour
lent charm and beauty. But
the all-important feature—the
ceremony itself—was one of
the lovliest. most meaningful
and sacred vites w ever
heard. The Reverend Neils
Larsen, minister in charge,
wrote the wo'-ds of the cpre
mony fo- his own wedding
years ago. and repeated them
ior this fortunate couple.

When does a dollar feel like $1.29?
Today the average dollar spent
for CP&L service buys more elec
tricity than it would if you lived in
most any other state. Much more.
\ ou see, the price our customers
pay is 22 percent be’ow the nation
al average.
Look at it another way. Each do! labs worth
of electricity that our customers buy would
cost $1.29 if they paid the national average.
That should make a dollar feel like $1.29.
While the price of almost everything else
you buy has been going up, we’ve reduced our
rates in 24 of the last 30 years.
How have we been able to do it? We’ve
installed larger, more efficient generating
plants. e’ve improved our methods for
transmitting and distributing electricity. And
we’ve worked hard to put into effect every
reasonable economy for your benefit.
These benefits — greater efficiency and
economy—have been shared by every classify
cation of customers we serve. Our custonieis
on the average are using twice as much elec
tricity in their homes as they did 10 years nsro
and paying one-fifth less p°r kilo-'"''
for it.
Naturally, we’re proud of our record "f
supplying all the electricity our custom
