Song I cam Hit Paw
Dirt Via Records

st. Louis-The singing team of
Ike and Tina Turner, unknown ma
tionwide few years ago, is today
emerging as one of the hottest
record acts in the amusement
world. In the past six months
they've had two tunes on the Sue
Label that found favor with rhythm
and blues fans, namely, "a Fool In
Love" and 81 Idolize You"
Hardly had the noise died down
from these two songs when a few
weeks ago disc jockeys began spin
ming their latest, "I'm Jealous"
also their first long-playing album,
"The Soul of Ike and Tina Turner"
United in marriage as well as in
song, the team were local favorites
with care and dancehall fans when
Henry (Juggy) Murray, owner of
the Sue record firm, visited here on
business trip and termed them as
potential" hit makers as he signed
them to a contract.

Gas Liquid Output
Continues To Gain

Tulsa, Okla,-Production of gas
liquids in the U. S. climbed an
other $50 last year, accounting
for 1850 of total petroleum pro-
duction.
The forecast for 1861 calls for
another gain of about 43o and pos
sibly sec, according to The Oil
and Gas Journal.
The 1860 production averaged
about 935,570 Dbl. daily.
In contrast to the gain in gas
liquids production, crude produc-
ton was down almost 0.51o in 1860.
Even though gas-liquids produc-
ton had good gain last year, the
rate of increase was not up to the
postwar average. For the 15-year
period ended 1860, production at
natural-gasoline and cycling plants
had an average annual increase of
8R.
"Gas liquids production seems
to be following a normal growth
pattern with decreasing percentage
gains but good volumetric in
creases," the trade magazine says.
To further illustrate the growth,
back in the early 1940's gas-liguids
output accounted for less than $50
of total petroleum production. BY
1850, the gas-liquids portion had
moved up to more than $50 and in
1869 it climbed to 11.073c.
The growth in gas-liquids pro-
duction is related to increased pro-
duction Of natural gas. Marketed
production of natural gas in 1860
was as times the total in 1941.

it would be relatively easy to take

Like other Electric Power Associations in the state, it is a Mississippi
Corporation, organized and chartered under Mississippi Law. 1t is
business, established for the purpose OF distributing electric power
throughout it's area of operation.
This Electric Power Association is completely owned and controlled
by the people, or members, it serves. Each member owns al equal
share OF the business.
Like a lot of other businesses, this Corporation has a mortgage. In
order to get the business started, the members borrowed money from ;
a special bank, the Rural Identification Administration. Also like any
other sound business, we're repaying our loan, Nth interest," There
O m connection with @REA" ends.
The difference in this business and that of most other similar corpora
tons is that our "mark-up," or the amount we charge above the whole
sale cost of electricity does not allow for any profit.
An Electric Power Association is, in accordance with its charter OF
incorporation, a nonproft business. The margin between wholesale
operating costs.
Our business was born ofnecessty. Prior to the establishment of Elec-
trio Power Associations in Mississippi electric power vas rarely avail
able outside the cities. Commercial power companies, either could
not or would not serve those areas at a price the people could afford
to pay. So groups of people throughout the state worked together to
form the EPAs SO they could sell electricity to themselves. AS a re-
of timesaving electric power. and in terms of a higher standard Of
living.
Today, throughout Mississippi, these Corporations arr owned and con-
troued by almost a million Msissippians, serving themselves with de-
pendable electric power at a price they can afford.
