AIRLESS SPRAY
GUN HAS BIG PRESSURE
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. (AP) -
Consumers have been warned
• by the U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission that high
pressure airless paint spray
guns may be hazardous under
certain conditions.
The commission said the haz-
ard may arise if the user’s
hand, finger or other parts of
the body come in close contact
with the jet spray of paint. Be-
cause the paint in airless spray
guns is ejected with a great
deal of pressure and velocity,
the user’s skin could be pene-
trated, injecting paint into the
underling tissues.
The resulting injury to the
skin and tissue may cause per-
manent damage or require sur-
gical amputation.

JEFFERSON
ENCOURAGED INVENTION
WASHINGTON (AP) -
Thomas Jefferson, first super-
visor of the U.S. Patent Office
when he was Secretary of
State, was an inventor of note
although he never applied for a
patent.
Among his inventions was an
improvement in the mold board
of the plow, an important con-
tribution to U.S. agricultural
development. He also invented
a folding chair or stool that
could be used as a walking
stick, and he developed many
other ideas.
“Certainly an inventor ought
to be allowed a right to the
benefit of this invention for
some certain time,” he wrote.
“Nobody wishes more than I do
that ingenuity should receive
liberal encouragement.”_

Did you know that the price of electricity provided by
Texas Power & Light Company to the average residential
customer is actually less today than it was in 1955?
It’s true, and it’s also true that the average customer does
pay more dollars for electric service now than twenty
years ago. The price is down, but the cost is up.
The reason? Well, in 1974 the average residential
customer used more than six times the amount of
electricity used in 1955.
How many ways have you increased your use of electricity
in the past twenty years? Have you added one or more
window-type air conditioning units or maybe a complete
cooling and heating system? Are you enjoying the
convenience of a range, dishwasher, clothes washer,
dryer or other major electric appliances you didn’t have
in 1955?
Compare the cost of you r electric service with the many
comforts and conveniences it makes possible. Isn’t it one
of today’s really good buys?
