' -Afsas& I x .m?'1 More Americans than ever before are spend ing their summer exploring the wonders nature has bestowed on this continent. And whether it's the vast Pacific Northwest, the great Tennessee Valley area, Everglades Na tional Forest or one of the smaller parks or forests in between, thousands of America's vacation spots -are made safer and more enjoyable because of the availability of electricity supplied by America's consumer-owned rural electric systems. Rural electrics serve in 2700 of the nation's 3100 counties, in the sparsely settled areas away from the population centers. As a result of this electric service, most established camping grounds now have well-lighted facilities and running water. Rural stores keep their food cold and fresh with electric refrigeration. Electric heaters take the early morning chill out of mountain-top cabins, and air-conditioned motels along the way help freshen weary travelers. And in case of emergency, small hospitals or infirmaries and doctors' offices, supplied with dependable electric power from rural electrics, stand ready to serve. Built with the help of loans from the Rural Electrification Administration, rural electrics are doing their part to provide city people with safe and comfortable rest and relaxation in the country sideand everybody benefits. Rural electrics heartily support our govern ment's efforts to beautify America and encourage travel in the United States. When you see a rural electric co-op this summer, stop in for a visit. You'll find friendly people who know the area and are ready to be helpful. Columbia H si sin Coaop 'Serving Morrow, Wheeler and Gilliam Counties' August 12, at 7:30 p.m.
