homemakers new
service organ
The Texas Power & Light Com-
pany has mailed out its first issue
of a pew publication called Bet-
ter Homemaking, which is to be
published quarterly and mailed to
TP&L patrons throughout the
area.
Volume 1, Number 1 of the
publication, for the summer of
1955, contains several interesting
features showing the advantages
of electric cooking, heating and
air conditioning.
One department of the little
publication enumerates the advan-
tages of air conditioning homes
for cleanliness, comfort, relief
for hay fever sufferers, more pri-
vacy, less noise and less chance
for burglaries because doors and
windows can be kept shut and
Truth as to who
is a capitalist
in this country
WILMINGTON, DEL.—On an
average business day, nearly one
million Americans act as capital-
ists, investing more than $250
million of savings in a variety of
financial enterprises, it is estim-
ated in “The Story of Creative
Capital,” a new booklet publish-
ed recently by the Du Pont Com-
pany.
Their transactions cover a wide
range of investment opportunities,
including such familiar ones as
buying stocks and bonds, farms,
houses to rent, or a small bus-
iness, putting money in a savings
account, paying insurance prem-
iums, and others. Each represents
money saved and then put to
work. Repeated thousands of
times in communities over the
nation, their “individual decis-
ions to invest produced a finan-
cial avalanche.”
Majority of their investments
find their way into the industrial
economy where “they provide the
means to buy more efficient tools
and build new plants, and by so
doing bring greater industrial
output, and with it, more for all.
Ii mass production symbolizes
America’s unparalleled economic
development, it is: mass capital-
ism that has made it possible.”
Ten years from now the aver-
age man can expect a 20 to 25
per cent improvement in his liv-
ing standard, if incentives are
■trong enough to pull the neces-
sary flow of creative capital into
American business, the booklet
predicts. The total need is $580
biliion in that time, which figures
out as the equivalent of a $14,-
HOO investment for each family
unit in the nation today.
“Between now and 1965, an
estimated $230 billion will be
needed to replace worn-out or
out-moded facilities. Another
$350 billion will be required to
provide additional jobs and a ris-
ing standard for the ever-increas-
ing population,” it says.
Pointing out that although
much of this will come from re-
tained corporate earnings and set-
i asides for depreciation, “The re-
mainder must come largely from
individual savings. But it will not
flow freely unless earnings and
dividends make investment at-
tractive to the saver.”
Portraying the function and
history of capital in our economy,
the 32-page booklet uses photo-
graphs liberally to show a cross-
section of typical investors, how
their savings are put to work, and
the benefits to the nation from
the higher productive capacity
created by capital.
“Without this factor of more
production for each hour a man
works, and without the capital
to make it possible, there is no
progress—no rise in pay scales,
CORNY, BUT NICE—Synthetic material with corn fiber as its
base is what these mademoiselles are modeling in Paris, France.

and the manufacturer claims that garments fashioned from the
new fiber are also warm as wool, soft as cashmere.

Hi Girls:
Here I go again! 1 read some-
thing the other day, and that is
fatal for me, be-
cause it started
a chain of
thought, and 1
was off again.
In a little]
book of quota-
tions, I ran
_ across these few I
lines. “There is no danger of de-
veloping eyestrain from looking
oi- tie bright side of things.”
Now, all these years, I have re-
peatedly been told that 1 went
around with my head in the
clouds, and this is vindication,
clear, pure and simple, isn’t it?
can’t”. How do you KNOW until
you TRY?
Happiness and Poeeeeeione.
One need not be well endowed
with worldly goods to be happy,
either. There is another story
about a king who was ill of a
strange malady. After all the doc-
tors had examined him, they de-
cided that the only thing that
would cure him, would be one
| night’s sleep in the shilt of aj
i happy man.
After searching the entire I
length of the kingdom, the wise !
men returned to report that the
happiest man in the realm was so
poor that he had no shirt. The
king quietly resumed his duties,
a graver and more thoughtful
i ruler.
Cur American way of life is so 1
j full of blessings, that no man I
can count them all, but the great- !
est of them all is the optimist;!
he exudes cheerfulness like an
atomic bomb diffuses radiation.
No matter what his personal,
trials anil troubles are, he never!
pours them into other ears, norj
does he beg for sympathy with
which to lull his grief, but which:
never cures his ills.
Self-sympathy and discontent
are a disease. We allow ourselves
to fall prey to the symptoms, un-
til one day, we realize that they
have eaten into our very souls.
We become immune to the suf-
fering of the people around us,
because we have so many trou-
bles to bear. We need to think
of the old saying, “I felt sorry
because 1 had no shoes, until I
met a man who had no feet.”
develop eyestrain, lefcU do it by
looking on the bright side, rather
than the gloomy.
If you can’t change your lot
in life, don’t waste time grumb-
ling. Get busy and enjoy the
things you do have and it won’t
be long, until it seems that you
have everything in the world for
which to be thankful.
Bye now . . . see you next
week?
Love ya,

“FEMALE TYPEWRITER’’—The 1880 forerunner of today’s
modern secretary is shown in this old engraving as she practiced
use of one of the first practical typewriters at a Now York City
YWCA. The Y-sponsored class dispelled fears of many persons
that typewriting was “too complex for the delicate female con-
stitution.” Doctors examined the eight girls before and after
practice sessions, found that all came through the "ordeal” in
excellent condition, “suffered no harmful effects from using the

no added leisure, no drop in
prices or improvement in quality.”
Capital, it explains, means the
tools for production; “savings
done, lying unused, mean noth-
ing.” With the many ways of in-
vesting in addition to stocks and
bonds—such as savings accounts,
real estate, savings and loan as-
sociations- many people do not
realize the creative role their
money plays.
Capitalism has confounded the
pessimists of old by becoming the
servant of man and building' an
economy of abundance. As one
result, it lias turned out such
commonplace things as automo-
biles, television sets, and auto-
matic furnaces which, as recently
as 190(1, “would not even have
been gross luxuries. They were
science fiction.”
“This revolution in the way
America lives is cumulative evid-
ence of the gains creative capital
brings consumers. Better tools
i ut costs and improve the quality
of the goods they produce. The
consumer thus acquires improved
products at lower prices. And the
money ho saves becomes added
purchasing power—extra money
to be used for something else that
enhances his living standard . . .
This 'extra income’ is a key factor
behind the growth of services
and luxuries.
“Equally important ‘extra in-
come’ stimulates savings” which
spur the growth in better living.
“The effect is like putting
more gas in the tank, then get-
ting more miles per gallon. The
individual, viewing past progress,
counts his gain three times over
—as a consumer, an earner, and
an investor.”
