needs of a greater Texas. Had it not been for the
consistent expansion of this service during the
past quarter-century, vast sources of new wealth
might still be lying dormant as they had lain
prior to the coming of this dependable, low-cost
power service—abundant for all purposes.
To Those Who Had No Service
During ,this dynamic quarter-century the
Texas Power & Light Company extended its
service to 512 Texas communities of which 380
had not previously had electric service. Today,
more than 40,000 rural and farm homes are
served by this Company. Of the 512 communi-
ties, 478 have population of less than 2,500. Yet,
Texas Power & Light Company brings to the
people of this area a service which is not excelled
even in the most densely populated areas of the
nation, at an average cost to its customers lower
than in many large eastern cities.

TURING the past quarter-century Texas has
I y witnessed an amazing development of her
vast resources and opportunities. Population has
almost doubled. The volume of agricultural
products has increased substantially. Mineral
and oil products have increased in annual value
from about $25,000,000 in 1912 to almost $600,-
000,000 in 1937. New wealth, added by manu-
facturing processes, has called for new payrolls,
and has helped materially to bring the annual
spendable income of Texans to the impressive
total of more than two and three-quarter billions
of dollars.

sewing, cleaning, laundering, and many, many
other services relieve drudgery and bring health,
comfort, and convenience to the home. Yet, the
cost of all these services is one of the smallest
items in the family budget. In every other use,
too, this service brings a value which greatly
overshadows its cost. During the past ten years
the cost of Texas Power & Light Service has
gone down, and only down, despite rapidly
changing and frequently rising costs of other
items in the budget.

Yes, the past quarter-century has been an
amazing one in the history of Texas. It is only
an indication of the vast developments which lie
immediately ahead. Tomorrow is filled with
opportunities ... Texas Opportunities . .. oppor-

GIRL’S SOFTBALL TEAM BEATS
ELGIN 8-1
----------------- t
By garnering eight hits and keep-
ing the Elgin team down to three,
the Manor softball team defeated
the Elgin team by a 1-8 score last
Thursday afternoon. Whitten of
Elgin, issued four free passes to
first base and until Fern replaced
her, she had yielded six hits up to
the fourth inning. Fern proved
much more effective in the next
three frames as she buckled down
to grant one walk and two hits.
Karling went the entire route for
the Mustangs, and struck out four
batters, issued no base on balls and
yielded but three hits. Holmberg,
Schieffer and Sandahi each gathered
two hits to lead in the baffling at-
tack.
Dignity takes a back seat while
frolicking and foolishness move in-
to the foreground when the Manor
P.T.A. dramatizes a “Hayseed Carni-
val” on the stage of the Manor High
School on Friday night, March 18,
■ at 8 p. m.
The various musical clubs of the
Manor school will form the founda-
tion around which the program is
: constructed. They include the
: Rhythm Band, Mixed Choral Club,
Girl’s Sextette, Harmonica “Hair-
raisers”, Manor school band and the
faculty quartet. •
Other features include a mimics
school room of the “hayseed” type,
a routine step-drill, a woman’s trio,
and the “Washboard Swingsters"' or
kitchen band. These numbers will
be staged by local adult citizens.
Two black-faced comedians in the
personations of two local men, will
also be on the program.
Charley McCarthy and Edgar Ber-
gen will make a surprise appearence
through the courtesy of two well-
known high school boys. A special-
ty number by the Spanish Club and
a dance by Miss E. Hiller will draw
a great deal of applause.
A few other numbers are being
worked upon to assure a well-round-
ed program for spectators. A jolly
good time is guaranteed to all who
attend. The admission will be ten
cents for children and twenty cents
for adults.
