Electric Company
Feels Area Heading
For Economic Growth

Advancement of a SIS million
power project which calls for a
large power generating station on
the Monongahela river below
MorgantoWn and a related extra
higl voltage transmission system
made big news for Monongahela
Power company in 1862, but Don
Potter, president of the utility,
pointed up other indications that
the area served by Monongahela
is headed for economic growth.
In a year-cnd report of his COM
panyS operations during 1862 and
its plans for 1858, Potter listed
these highlights:
l. The average price of kilo-
watt hours of electricity used in
the home reached a new low
figure of 81 cents, while aver
age residential consumption in
the company's service area climbed
to new high.
2 The outlook for 1868 indi-
Gates increased consumption of
electricity in all tegories-resi-
Dental, commercial and industrial.
3. The company will spend
more than SO million in 1868 for
Improvement of facilities, two
thirds of that sum for distribu-
ton lines and related equipment
to reinforce service to customers.
This is in addition to expenditures
for the new power station to be
built on the Monongahela River.
4. The decision of Allegheny
Power System, of which Mononga-
hela is part, to embark on the
huge OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES pro-
gram, scheduled for completion in
1867, is additional evidence of the
systems faith in the future of
the area. The SIS million project
of Monongahela and the other
companies in the Allegheny Power
system is part of an accompany
program to cost $3.50 million.
5. During the year, Is new in
dustrial plants went into operation
in Monongahela's service area and
several established industries OK
banded Combined, they created
around 1900 new jobs, with at
least 500 more to be added as the
new plants get into full operation.
The downward trend in the
average price of electricity used
in the home is a continuing one,
extending back through the his
tory of the company, Potter points
out. Today's rate of 81 cents per
kilowatt hour compares with SO
cents in 1852 Average residential
consumption was up to about g.
900 kiloWatt hours as compared
with 1920 ten years ago.

State Supreme
Court Reverses
Itself In Aaron

The Mississippi State Supreme
Court last week reversed itself
in the case of Aaron Henry,
State President of the NAACP
who had been convicted and
sentenced for making immoral
advances to White Youth.
The Supreme Court had pre-
viously set aside the convic-
ton of the low court on the
grounds that the evidence on
which the lower court based its
conviction had been illegally OBJ
tanned.
The Supreme Court however
reversed itsef at the suggestion
of the Attorney General who
pointed out that no objection
to the admission of the evidence
had been raised by counsel re-
presenting Henry at the original
trial of the case, contending
that Henry had been represent
ed in the trial by able lawyers.
The Lawyers representing
Henry were R. Jesse Brown, and
Jack H. Young, two Jackson
Negro lawyers.

YOUR HEALTH
BACKACHES

One out of every three Amer
leans will be tormented by back
aches. The American Academy
of Orthopedic Surgeons esti-
mates that "a per cent of the
population under "a and 80 per
cent under 45 have some kind
of back pain. Every year a
quarter of a million workers
sustain back injuries serious
enough to send them home from
work; and countless others who
are plagued by backaches sit,
squirm, suffer, and slow down
production.
Almost so per cent of back
aches are caused by fatigue and
strain the result of mans
misuse of his body. Most are
caused by improperly lifting
some object. Bending over and
twisting at the same time is a
sure-fire way to court an aching
back.
Interestingly, deafness and
nearsightedness may be the
cause of some backaches. The
myopic crane their necks to see;
and the hard-of- hearing uncon-
sciously cock their heads to
track down sound, thus Juggling
at one cluster of muscles. Ov-
erexertion and prolonged bad
posture are two sure ways of
developing back pain. So is
excess weight.
Many cases of backache could
be avoided if only people would
keep in mind the following
seven rules:
/. Know and observe your
physical limitations. Act your
age. Don't try some crazy stunt
to impress others in the crowd.
2. Don't shock the spine when
you sit down - come in for a
smooth landing.
8. When lifting something,
bend your body at the knees.
This way you'll let the arms,
legs and hips help the back bear
