Time was when your electric
bill probably was "just another
item" in the family budget. You
knew from the year before
about what to expect.
Regretfully, this is no longer
true, As the costs of producing
and supplying electricity have
gone up Texas Power & Light
has had no choice but to ask its
customers to pay more for what
they use. The electric bill has
become a large item in most
family budgets.
You and each member of your
family are important parts of
your electric bill. How you use
appliances and equipment
makes a big difference in the
amounts of your bills. Make a
family project of keeping the air
conditioner thermostat set at
about 78. Operate the clothes
washer, dryer and dishwasher
only with full loads. Turn the
television off when you leave it.
And check around the house
for other energy-saving, dollar-
saving measures.
Texas Power & Light is working
to assure an adequate supply of
electric power for all of its
customers and to help them get
the most value for their
electric dollars.

Cedar Creek
Grapevine
Many Mabank citizens are
going to Miss Brother Barron
and his wife,Aletha,who have
pastored the First Baptist
Church of Cedar Creek Lake
for the past five years. The
Barrons have been trans-
ferred to Chandler where he
will be the minister of the
First Baptist Church of
Chandler. Although the Bar-
Tons said they find it hard to
leave the lake area where
they have so many friends,
they won't be too far away to
visit often and they will be
nearer Reverend Barron's
parents and several other
relatives who live in Tyler.
Sue Smalling of the Cedar
Creek Nursing Home in
Malakoff says they would like
to initiate a Volunteer Pro-
gram that would include
people to read to bedfast
patients, or mend clothes,
lead a sing-song, play games,
teach skills, hobbys or arts
and crafts, to chat, to take
patients to church, shopping,
fishing, etc. or to write leters
or send appropriate greeting
cards to patients. If you have
a big heart, time and an urge
to serve, give Sue a call at the
Nursing Home and learn what
you can do to relieve the
monotony of someone's days.
The smiles and gratitude of
the Nursing Home residents
will add pleasure to your own
life.

Cedar Crest Shores resident
Less LaRue had an old fash-
ioned quilting bee in her home
lately. A group of the 49'er
Senior Citizens Club ladies
are involved in this project
and the quilts will be sold as
one of the many fund raising
projects that 49'er members
are involved in to swell the
amount in the senior citizens
building fund drive. Talented
sewers such as Leslie Frankl-
in, Jo Jones, Ruby South-
wood, Lola Carter and Bess
LaRue are busy making these
quilty. Look for some at the
49'ers Arts and Crafts Bazaar
scheduled for October 1 in the
Seven Points City Hall.
Jim and Nita Gray of
Arnold Hills in Seven Points
are helping John and "Tui"
Ore get settled in their new
home. John grew up with the
Gray children and Jim and
Nita say they think of him as
one of their own. The Ore's
recently moved to Cedar
Creek from Iran and John
now works with Jim in his
business in Seven Points
where they re-manufacture
turbine engine parts for
pumping stations. "Tui", a
native of Thailand, can't help
feeling a little homesick now
and then and wonders if there
are any other natives of her
part of the world living in the
Cedar Creek Lake area that
she might contact. She speaks
fair English and is working at
improving her language
skills. If there are any other
natives of Thailand in the
area that would like to be-
friend "Tui", you can contact
her through Jim and Nita
Gray.
Jo Anna tludson, owner of
the Merle Norman Studio in
Seven Points, has engaged
expert cosmetician Jo
Dempsy as manager of this
nice establishment. Jo is in-
viting all Cedar Creek Lake
area ldies to come by and
,.e, ee theirselection of lingerie
and jewelry and let her
demonstrate their fine line of
beauty products. Before be-
coming a resident of Isle of
View II in the Tool area, Jo
spent many yeirs in Dallas,
where she worked in one of
that city's best stores as a
representative of a top line of
cosmetics, so she is a store
house of expert beauty and
advise.
Mid-summer is hog plum
jelly making time according
to Barbara Key and Betty
Galloway of Tradewinds Ad-
dition in Tool. Last week they
were observed atop a pickup
truck alongside a public road
robbing one of the wild plum
trees of it's crop of ripe,
cherry-sized fruit. Barbara's
husband, Ox and a young
grandson had also been pres-
sed into service to gather the
sweet globules from the high
branches with the aid of a
ladder. Both ladies agree that
hog plums make the best of
all jellies and they are happy
that the long, hot summer has

Key Ranch resident Mild-
red Smith, Director of Dis-
trict 5 of the Business and
Professional Women's Clubs
of Texas will be in Ft. Worth
Aug. 27-28 to attend the
B&PW State Federation
Board meeting. Mildred also
reports that the Cedar Creek
Lake B&PW Club chapte
recently sent 67 wigs to th
M.D. Anderson Cancer Has
pital in Houston. They were
delivered by Carl and Betty
Raines of Seven Points. Mrs.
Raines makes regular trips to
the M.D. Anderson Hospital
for treatments that folow up
cancer surgery she had a'
that excellent facility severa_
months ago. Her doctors re-
port that she is doing very
well.
Incidently, the local B&PW
club collected and sent more
than 50 wigs to the Houston
Cancer Research Center last
year . B&PW club ladies all
over Texas have "adopted"
this hospital as their special
on-going project. The collec-
tion of wigs is a part of that
project. Cobalt and X-ray
treatments and cancer fight-
ing drugs frequently cause a
disfiguring loss of hair and
the wigs are a welcome gift.
Medical personnel at the hos-
pital report a great improve-
ment in morale when a pat-
ient can present an attractive
appearance. If any of you
have wigs you no longer use,
you can make a needy cancer
patient happy by leaving it

Did You Know?

Continued from last week
Side groove, saddle groove
and consolidated design num-
ber are other terms often
used. The side and saddle
grooves refer to the inden-
tation in the insulator that
holds the wire-the side groove
is an indentation in the qenter
of the top, making the in-
sulator look a bit like a
saddle.
Some early insulators, have
been found to have "swirl
starts" on the threads, no
inner skirt, and a mold line
that runs all the way to the top
or over the dome, while the
very earliest have no threads
at all. Inside threads were
invented in 1865.
The inner skirt was patent-
ed by Samuel Oakman in 1883,
and Hemingray patented a
two-step process for produc-
ing threaded insulators in
1871, the California Electrical
Works bought out the EC.
and M. Co. in 1878. All this
data is necessary for col-
lectors to date and identify
insulators. They range in size
from less than an inch to
multiple stacks that can mea-
sure eight feet in length.

fer to the year of the pa-
tent. however, not the year of
