if Thursday, February 27, 1941 LEXINGTON NEWS Lexington Seniors To Present Play By MARGARET SCOTT The juniors and seniors of Lex ington high school will present the rollicking three-act comedy, "A Poor Married Man," in the high school auditorium, Friday, March 28, at 8 p. m. The story of the play takes you to a college town in the middle west, where Professor John B. Wise has married a charming young lady named Zoie. Her mother, Mrs. Iona Ford, insists on accompanying the pair to their new home. The professor's friends mistake the mother-in-law for the bride, and there the fun begins. Believe us, every one is going to get a bushel of laughs. This play is very excit ing because of the natural conditions that arise and it also has its ser ious moments especially when the professor finds out that his wife is going to poison him. A young college boy named Billy and a pretty reporter add to the professor's growing suspicions. The young bride learns that she really loves Billy and this is the begin ning of a surprise and happy ending. There is never a dull moment through the entire three acts. With grand parts for each member of the cast, brightliness and witty sayings are common for Jupiter Jackson, the colored servant.

Wise, Eldon Padberg; Dr. Mathew Grahm, Roy Martin; Billy Blake, Duane Johnson; Jupiter Jackson, Don Peck; Mrs. Iona Ford, Lavelle Pieper; Zoie, Do ris Scott; June Grahm, Jerrine Ed wards; Rosiland Wilson, May Rauch.

These signals must not fail! Troops, munitions and supplies must move on schedule ! That is why railroad managers are happy that their electric service comes from the vast interconnected grid of private power systems . . . instead of from small, isolated power plants serving but one city or county POWER GRID HELPS ALL INDUSTRY! Supplying dependable electric service to railroad signals is but one example of the important part the power grid plays in national defense. All along the 42,000 miles of electrically controlled tracks new factories are springing up, established plants are working overtime on defense orders. These indus tries, whether large or small, are getting all the electric power they need, when they need it. The network of transmission lines can bring power from manv different sources to supply the abnormal needs of any area. WE HAVE 3 TIMES POWER OF AXIS: Because private power systems have always built ahead of actual demand, there is plenty of reserve capacity for use in national defense. America today has four and one-half times the electric generating capacity it had in 1917 ... or three times as much power as Germany and Italy combined. PRIVATE CAPITAL BUILT 90 I Private capital and the American spirit of free enterprise has built more than 90 of these extensive power facilities . . . without subsidy from the public treasury. Only 5 of the na tion's power has been created by municipal systems, only 5 by the federal government. PRIVATE POWER SYSTEMS ARE READY NOW WITH ABUNDANT, DEPENDABLE POWER ..there is no need to divert one dollar of Public funds from the building of planes, tanks, guns, ships!
