7E*LL KEEP things hum-
W nrung down here while
you're fighting up there.
Well see to it that there’s
plenty of electricity at every
twitch at the air field and the
Army post—and plenty of power
for vital industries in South and
Southwest Texas that are turning
out important materials for Vic-
tory.
All that takes lots of electric
power—but Texts has got what it
takes! CPL’s trained emplo/ecs, its
power plinis and its tranrmission
system we»«: rcaay when Uncle
Sam asked for power in a hurry.
American business management
made this possible. Because of it
South and Southwest Texas has at
least twenty tunes as much power
as it had in the last war. And busi-
ness management, which is now
producing about seven-eighths of
the whole nation’s tremendous
flow of power, has provided our
country with five times as much
power as we had in the last war-
more than all the power in Japan,
Germany and Italy.
Further, practical business man-
agement under public regulation
has increased electric service and
decreased electric prices so much
that ... the average family envoys
about twice as much electricity
for the same amount of money as
it did 10 to 15 years ago.
More paver to yon, partners!
When this war is won, we’ll be
ready again with plenty of power
to help build a better world!

Don’t ever argue with Grandma
Hoskins about American history
unless you know what you're talk-
ing about. Because when Grandma
states a fact, it really is a fact.
The other day wc got to talking
about George Washington — who
besides being a great general, waa
a public surveyor, a successful
farmer, and a wise statesman.
“And he made mighty good beer,
too,” says Grandma.
I That wns news to most of us.
“You can see his private recipe
for beer right In the New York
Public Library,” Grandma Hos-
kins tells us. “In his own hand-
writing, at that”
■ - • • e .
And then she opened op on how
Washington and those others who
founded America believed in beer
and moderation. Told us about Wil-
liam Penn who had his own brew-
ery down in Pennsylvania, and Is-
rael Putnam ... Samuel Adams of
Massachusetts and James Ogle-
thorpe of Georgia.
f "Beer," Grandma goes on, ‘Jhas
grown up with the country because
it's a symbol of good fellowship
and moderation
Honsa of Repr«s«nUtt?es and
made the motion urging “tha
manufacture of beer in every Stats
of tha Union.” And that same year
Massachusetts passed an act stat-
ing that “the wholesome qualities
of malt liquors greatly recommend
them to general use.”
see
From there on—until early In
1918, the brewing industry kept
growing and beer and ala kept get-
ting better and batter.
Then came prohibition ... thir-
teen dark years that bred vice and
crime. Grandma says it taught
us something though—something
that George Washington and all
those other early American states-
men knew all along ... that no
law ever takes the place of self-
restraint and moderation.
^That’s why they were friends of
beer end made moderation a cor-
nerstone of American freedom.
They were right about a lot of
things — Washington and Adams
and Penn. And from where 1 sit.
they certainly wart right aboot
moderation, too.
