The Alexandria Water Co.,
q wholly owned subsidiary Of
the American Waterworks Co,
Of Philadelphia. serves approx
imately $4,000 residents in the
City of Alexandria and about
10000 Fairfax County resi-
dents. Fairfax Hydraulics and
Annandale together serve about
$4,000 county residents.

II believe the facts should be

buy the company. We might
even have a referendum" said
the Mayor.
Originally, the Alexandria
Water Co. served only city resi-
dents plus a few county resi-
dents. When service was ex-
tended into Fairfax County. a
separate company-the Vir-
ginia Water Co.-was set up to
handle county service. Amer
lean Waterworks said this was
done because it was more ex-
pensive to serve scattered
county residents at that time
and as a result the rates Of the
Virginia Water Co. were higher
than those of the Alexandria
Water Co.

Absolutely! If you're wearing your glasses
now, you cannot see out of the corner Of your
eyes. Ehher the edge of,the lens distorts your
vision, or you lose the effect of your glasses
completely. This can't happen with Vent.Air
Lenses. The Vent.Air Lens gives you 1000
vision whether you're looking sideways, di.
rectly up, down, or in any direction where
glasses usually are imperfect.

Not really. Most people don't realize that one
pair of Vent Air Lenses never has to be
changed; they are actually guaranteed for a
lifetime. There is never any additional costs
for prescription changes. Add up the total
cost you pay now for new examinations, new
prescriptions and new glasses every year or so,
and you can see that even though Vent.Air
Lenses cost more iaitially, over the years they
are really substantial savings. And If you
