CHURCH ANNOUNCEMENTS

. The swift change of time strikes
’ home with frightening power. The
desire for security is therefore
‘ strong in the hearts of men at the'
• beginning of a new year. It is the
1 motive beind much of the planning
! for the future, which is being done.
The security, however, which hu-
man planning can give does not
reach very far, it cannot reach the
deepest fears of the human heart.
Only the Creator of the world
and of human life can do that. No
other helper is strong enough to be
the Hope and Trust of our life.
Attend the church of your choice
next .Sunday for the strengthening
of your faith and for real security
in 1945.
You are welcome at any of the
services listed below.
Calendar: Sunday school at
Town Hall, Burkburnett, 9:45 a. in.
Morning worship at the Clara
church, 11 a. m. Evening service at

Texas Electric
Under many difficulties, this group has done a great
job of supplying not only our regular customers but
also the heavy demand for electric power—used in
many industries in this part of Texas which are turn-
ing out products that directly or indirectly are vital
to the all-out war effort... on farms where elec-
tricity is aiding the production of "food for victory”
. . . and in homes, whose comfort and convenience
depend largely on electricity.
;* y*-' -
A-
At the beginning of the New Year, we take special
pleasure in making this public recognition of the
excellent work done during the past year by the
men and women that make up our organization ...
Their loyalty and unstinted effort played an impor-
tant part in the Company’s ability to supply depend-
able electric service for all essential war and civilian
needs in spite of unprecedented - demands for
electricity.
