America's rural electrics believe . . .. and they're working to imple ment that belief with action . . . that most people want to enjoy the crisp, clean air, the blue skies and the white snow of wintertime in the country. Most people want their children to know the joys of a swift sled ride down a snowy slope. But in the last 15 years new ma chines and methods increased farm output by 45 and reduced farm employment by 45. In the next 15 years, we are told, the need for farm labor will decline another 45. And the rural areas, which depend on the farms, decline, too. America's rural electrics believe our nation's problems, and those of its cities, can be better met by pro viding jobs and facilities for the people rather than moving the people. Let's make our open spaces not only a good place for a sled ride. Let's make them a better place to live and work. "Serving Morrow, Wheeler and Gilliam Counties" Telephone 676-9146 ! I
