HIRE’S HOW TO FIGURE
WHAT IT COST YOU.
When you look at the amount you spend on electricity
each day and then look at all the things electricity does
for you. it's easier to see just what a good value elec-
tricity really is.
On your monthly electric bill, first look at the date
your meter was last read (Pres. KWH Read/DATE)
and then the date it was read previously (Prev. KWH
Read/DATE) and count the number of days between
the two. Divide that number into vour total charges
for the month (TOTAL CURRENT MO. BILL)."
The result is the small amount you spend each day to
enjoy all the things dependable electricity makes pos-
sible in your home. Electricity... one of todavs best
energy values.

Ruby Iva Hill and
Ruby C. Baxter are
still showing pictu-
res and telling about
their tour of three
of the Hawaiian Isl-
ands.
Joe and Evelyn Baxt-
er had the pleasure
of sharing in the
two Ruby’s excitement
as they boarded an
airline at DFW, April
19 for Honolulu.
Transported by auto-
mobile from the air-
port through the ci-
ty of Honolulu to
the Hyatt Regency
Hotel on Waikiki Be-
ach, the two Rubys
found they had a lov-
ely view of the oce-
an from the 38th fl-
oor. From the veranda
was a breath-taking
view of the beach,
Diamond Head, the mo-
untains dotted with
homes and to the
right many high-rise
hotels.
They didn't have
too long to rest as
they had reservations
to the King's Revue
Dinner Show at the
lovely old Royal Ha-
waiian Hotel. Other
tours from Waikiki
were the Pearl Har-
bor and city boat
tours, Punchbowl and
city tour which cir-
cled around the isl-
and. They also vis-
ited the Polynesian
shows, Don Ho Dinner
Show at Hilton Vill-
age and South Sea
Spectaculars show at
the Beach Comber Ho-
tel .
The fifth day, they
left Honolulu airpo-
rt for the Big Isl-
and, Hawaii. They la-
nded at Kilo and took
an all day bus tour
across the island to
Kona Surf Hotel at
Kona. Their tour in-
cluded the orchid
Garden, Volcano Nat-
ional Park and many
other interesting and
beautiful sights.
The next day, they
took the Kona boat
tour on Captain Cook-
’s ship to see Capt-
ain Cook's Monument;
also snorkling and
feeding the fish.
They also enjoyed an
evening Luau, com-
plete with baking the
pig in the ground.
Kona Surf Hotel was
really a picturesque
building and the
grounds are the pret-
tiest they had seen.
Black lava rock was
all around but many
flowers were bloom-
ing everywhere. They
were told about Lady
Bird Johnson flying
over to see it and
putting her stamp of
approval on it. The
two Rubys put their
stamp of approval on
the Kona coffee by
bringing a can of it
home with them.
They next flew to
Kauai and the to-
ur took them to val-
leys, canyons,
rivers, dry caves,
and wet caves, where
ferns grew from the
inside, with the tops
hanging down.
They saw sugar cane
fields being planted,
some growing, some 0
being harvested. They
saw bananas growing
in their different
stages of growth and
pineapple being har-
vested.
Then it was time to
catch a plane back to
Honolulu to take th-
eir flight (an all- #
night one) back to
DFW.
Richard Baxter was
there to bring them
back to "dear old
Kerens."
