Ruth Ann Spencer is home
in Holliday after a three week
visit with her aunt and unde,
Mr. and Mrs. John Girdley of
Ft. Dodae, Iowa.
He will join a group of other
Scouts and leaders from
Bowie. Henrietta, Iowa Park
and Wichita Falls at Camp
Perkint on Saturday for a
“shake-down** meeting to
make plans for the Jambor-
ee.
I added extra
insulation at my
house.Because my
electric bills are up,
just like yours.”
"The people who work for Texas
Electric—like me—get electric bills,
too.
I work in billing and l can tell from
people's comments that they're con-
cerned about their bills.
Even though I know why they're
higher, mainly because of higher fuel
and construction costs, I'm concerned
about mine, too.
That's why the last couple of years
we've been trying to wrap our house in
insulation. WeVe put six indies in the
attic and three in the walls. It's really
helped.
A friend of ours used to kid us
and say we'd just been brain-
washed by the
electric company.
But now he's PI
insulated his
attic, too."
