living far beyond the dreams of
generations only once removed.
Didn't Just Happen
Today, the strength Of 4S,000,-
600 horsepower flows through in
tereonnected transmission lines to
do your bidding at the flip of a
switch. This miracle of service
and dependability did not Just
happen. 1t was achieved by men
Of courage and vision, whose faith
never failed them in persuading
friends at first, then acquaint-
ances and strangers to invest their
hard-earned savings to develop
this dream of progress. Amert-
cans enjoy Electric Service today
through the efforts Of these men
who were forced to rely upon their
own initiative and ability, a n d
who had no government subsidy
or public grant to assist them.
Because of these men-private
individuals - manufacturing and
industrial tasks have been light
ened and hours shortened. I'm
dreamed progress has been
achieved In every phase Of mod
ern living, be 1t commercial. In
dustrial or home classification.
The homemaker has at her beck
and call more than 400 Electric
Appliance Servants to release her
from drudgery, unnecessary toll
and backbreaking tasks SO COM
mon a few years ago.
Electricity Is Cheap
All this and more has been &C
complished by electricity, and the
private companies who make and
distribute it have given it to con-
sumers at a price less than we
annually pay for cigarettes or cos
metics. Small wonder many fair
minded citizens resent unreason-
able political attacks made against
this industry which has so radi-
cally reduced its prices and i'm
proved it's service throughout its
history.
Today, thousands upon thou
sands of homemakers I realiz-
ing that Electricity Is Cheap"
when cost is weighed against the
innumerable services which Elec-
tricity offers even the most
humble home.
In no other field has private
enterprise produced greater bene-
fits than in the field of Electric
Service. IN q ff9y hart , '5des,
it has given to America q stand
ard of living that is the envy Of
the rest of the civilized world,
and in so doing, has contributed
to the economic welfare substan-
TALLY with payrolls and tax pay
ments which u into the billions
of dollars.
Truly, the private electric In
dustry has been vastly beneficisS
to America!

tect new Industry We need to face that question squarely
and answer it in all candor, because upon the answer de-
ponds in the final analysis what Is done about it.
"Public policies are in the making all the time which are
bound to affect all of US. 1t is these public policies, as they
are supplemented in the state capitol and in various commun-
tiles all over the state, which determine the industrial future
of Mississippi. If we truly want Mississippi to realize more
fully its opportunities for industrial development, if we be-
lieve in our hearts that in the realization of those oppor-
tunities lies our greatest hope for a fuller and better and
more secure economy, we will advocate an dinsist upon the
adoption of policies which will encourage a sound and order
ly development of such opportunities. I cannot put the
question up to you any more squarely than to say that it
lies in your hands. What you most truly desire, you can and
will attain"

ed it electricity" in 1850,
according to an article IN
Nations Business. A glance
through the story of Elec-
tricity is interesting and fas-
cinating to moderns who en-
joy it's ever-increasing bene-
fits.
Franklin Long Ignored
Although Benjamin Franklin is
said to have killed a wild turkey
by electric shock, then roasted 1t
over a fire kindled with his "Elec-
trio Bottle, people Of his day
knew or cared little about this
mysterious force. True, it eventu-
ally operated the electric tele-
graph, but few people understood
that.
It was not until 1876 that
Electricity made its bow to the
nj people. An electric
dynamo at the Philadelphia Gen.
tennial Exposition provided cur
rent for an arc light In Machinery
Hall, but this was regarded as
Impractical and dangerous fool
ishness" by most Of the visitors
who saw it.
Three years later. Thomas A.
Edison realized that incandescent
lighting was possible after con-
Quoting an experiment whereby a
carbonized cotton thread glowed
for 40 hours without pause. The
famed inventor organized the Ed1-
son Electric Illuminating Com
pany in New York City in 1882,
to furnish electric service to in
c%andescent bulbs for SO bulbs
an event which marked the birth
of the Electric Power Industry.
Public Scoffed at Idea
Edison's company was far from
popular at first. Pavements fire.
uuently became "electricaliZed",
causing horse and men to flee in
panic. Service was sporadic, and
the wits of that time had a sub
ject for jokes and quips as popu-
lar as Gone With The Wind
gags of today. Be that as it may,
Edison's company has grown into
an industry with a $4,000, 00O,-
600 investment, owned by mil
lions of thrifty men and women,
and serving more than 25,000,O00
American customers.
Today, thanks to private ini-
tiative, courage and enterprise,
Electric Rates have been consist
emily reduced and service con-
stantly improved. In fact, so de-
pendable has service become to-
day that it's slightest failure oc-
casions front page headlines and
special radio bulletins. Because
1t is constantly on the Job at all
times, modern Americans enjoy
convenience, service and better
