IT.: still BIG MONEY in our business!

THE ordinary copper penny has lost a lot Of its
purchasing power these days and even some of its
copper. But it still buys as much electricity as ever.
For example, right now in your home a penny
will toast about twenty slices of bread - or brew ten
cups of coffee - or clean five big rugs - OF run your
refrigerator for several hours.
Rather startling what a penny will do when you
think Of it that way, isn't it?
Actually, the price of electricity came down 50
steadily before the war and it has stayed down so
successfully since that today the average family
gets about twice as much electricity for the same
money it paid fifteen years ago.
All this didn't just happen, of course. It's due
largely to the hard work, efficiency and experience
of your friends and neighbors who man and manage
this company. That's why a penny, spent for elec-
tricity, buys so much.
CAUTION: Even though electricity is cheap
even though it isn't rationed-PLEAsE DON'T WASTE
1T. Coal, oil, n1anpower, transportation 60 into tho
making of electricity and these are critical war
resources.

From the creative mind and facile pen of Frank Craven, stage and film star and writer, comes the original story for PRC's When the Lights Go On Again" featuring James Lydon and which closes to- night at the Strand theater.
 Having purchased the film rights to the best selling song of that name, Producer Leon Fromkess signed Craven, whose touch of the dramatic is widely known on both stage and screen, to create the framework for a picture that would portray the homecoming of youth wounded physically and mentally in South Pacific action, to his bride, his family and his town.
 William K. Howard directed the picture whose cast includes Regis Toomey, George Cleveland, Grant Mitchell, Dorothy Peterson, Harry Shannon, Lucien Littlefield, Luis Alberni, Emmet Lynn, also Joseph Crehan, Warren Mills, and intro duces Barbara Belden.

By NEA Service
 New York, Nov. 15-"Ensign Os- car," white Angora rabbit not quite a year old, has just returned after nine months on the road as an entertainer for USO- Camp Shows, service of the National War Fund. Oscar, who has spent almost his entire life in the theater, has to his credit both military and naval citations, an overseas service bar, a shortsnorter bill, and about 10000 miles of air, convoy and jeep travel.
 Oscar enlisted" in Uncle Sam's forces via the U. s. Coast Guard in Norfolk, Va, when he was three weeks and five days old. His en- listment papers recorded his occu- patton as Chief Assistant to Ar mold Furst, a USO-Camp Shows magician. Oscar was, at that time, single.
 The Coast Guard recorded Os- cars personal characteristics as having white hair, pink eyes, fair complexion, with-as distinguishing marks-very long ears and fuzzy tail. His special qualifications" were listed as resting" which Os- car did lot, performing for only 35 minutes twice a day, when his unit was playing. Much of his nine months abroad, largely in the Me diterranean theater, were spent getting from outpost to outpost.
 The captain of the navy ship on which Oscar returned from the wars did not consider that an "En- signs" rating was commensurate with Oscars service in the armed forces, so in special ceremony, the rabbit was given the honorary rank of Assistant Vice Commodore of the Seas.
 Oscars job, atually, was a pas siye one. He was the rabbit who was pulled out of the hat and he
