■ HESE are the people who own your electric light and power company. Chances are
you are one of this group, too.
They represent a cross-section of America — housewives, doctors, teacher* — in-
dustrial workers, craftsmen, farmers — mechanics and milkmen. Yes, people from all
walks of life have put their savings into companies tike ours. They’re direct owner*.
But there are countless indirect owners, too — many who don’t know they have a
stake in the electric industry. They’re people with life insurance policies and savings
accounts. When banks and insurance companies accept your money, they must invest
it wisely. And because business -managed electric companies have a long record
of successful service, much of that money is invested in utility securities.
So, you see, the electric industry is owned by the people it serves.

With so much having been' said
and written about the high cost of
living, it is strange, to say the
least, that no more eligible people
here have taken advantage of one
of the finest FREE services ever
performed for humanity. The gift
is, of course, the free chest X-ray
clinic sponsored in Levelland by
the Hockley County Tuberculosis
Association, the South Plains
Health Unit, and the State Depart-
ment.
The X-ray process is simple; so
simple, in fact, that its dramatic
importance is obscured. No hint
of the stark tragedy, which could
strike in the family of a carrier
unaware of his condition, is shown
in the spanking-clean headquar-
ters of the mobile unit.
With practiced efficiency, mem-
bers of the unit record name, ad-
dress, age of each patient, and
usher the individual into an ante-
room where, without more cere-
mony than a bit of neck-stretching
and a deep breath, the X-ray is
taken.
No one mentions that this pro-
cess may save your life. You are
spared a lecture on the good being
done by those who work with the
unit. Not even your thanks are
asked, though they should be
forthcoming.
If someone were to offer to res-
cue you from death by drowning,
would you hestitate? Would you
postpone it because it might re-
quire two minutes of your time?
I doubt it.
A death from tuberculosis is in-
finitely more lingering than
drowning, and far less dramatic.
You don’t even make headlines if
you hemorrhage to death from
TB of the lungs, or if you spend
years away from your family in a
sanatorium for diseased patients.
Immediate treatment, even if a
patient is badly infected, can ef-
fect a cure or arrest progress of
tuberculosis. Treatment NOW
is of prime importance in this
disease.
Will you trade two minutes to-
day for possible twenty years of
your life?
The results of the X-ray, ob-
tainable at the courthouse annex,
are completely confidential, and
Mrs. M. C. Bolton, county health
nurse, suggests that even though
you had an X-ray made last year,
you should have one now.
