NATIONAL
DEFENSE!”
S ome
PEOPLE TH IN K the steel mills and ship
yards do all the national defense work. They
don’t stop to realize the important part that
plenty of good, wholesome milk and cream plays
in keeping America healthy and strong.
"I’m proud to be doing a productive job— and
glad I can get all the electricity I need to help me
do it!”
That cream separator is a tiny item in the
nation’s use o f electric power, but it’s typical of
the thousands of efficient and economical ways in
which electricity is helping to SPEED PRODUC
TIO N throughout America.
ELECTRICITY IS READY HERE A N D

If it is desired, holiday gift plants
(while not really “house plants” since
they come from the hot, moist at mos-
phere of the greenhouse to the very
different conditions of the modern
dwelling) may be grown on for flow
ering another season. After flower
ing is over, water should be gradual-,
ly witheld and the plant allowed to
rest for a few weeks. They should
never become dry at the roots, but
should receive just sufficient water
to keep them alive. Then at the ap
proach of warm weather, cut them
back to a compact, symmetrical shape
and plunge the pots to the rim in the
garden in a semi-shaded location. As
they grow, keep them pinched back
to shape and in the fall before frost,
take them up and indoors. If condi
tions are not too dificult for them
(dry air is the greatest problem),
they will probably bloom again
though perhaps not as early and nev
er as satisfactorily as the first time.
This is the weather that keeps us
inside and then our indoor tasks in
gardening begin.
Examine stored gladiolus conns
and dahlia tubers now and then.
Pay close attention to house plants.
They need more moisture and fresh
air than the average homq can sup
ply without aid. Do not use cold wa
ter from the tap on plants: let it
stand for a few hours. Feed plants
in pots and boxes with plant foods
made for the purpose. Cultivate the
soil frequently by scratching the sur
face lightly. Wash the leaves of fo
liage plants every few days. Watch
for mealy bug (look like small bits of
cotton flu ff) and spray with soap or
nicotine preparation for them.

OUR DEMOCRACY
-by M at
Electric Industry has network of lines ready to
deliver power anywhere!
1 .3 0 0 ,0 0 0 SQUARE MILES OF AMERICA
You read o f shortages of airplane engines,
ships and anti-aircraft jpm s. But have you ever
heard o f a shortage of electric pow er— except
from somebody running for political office?
N ational SECURITY of the power supply
has increased tremendously since 1918. America
today has 4l/2 times as much electric generating
capacity as it had only 22 years ago. Thousands
of miles of high voltage transmission lines have
been built to interconnect pow er plants and
power load centers.
W ho did this great job? The private power
companies— the much-maligned "holding com
panies”— they’ve done more than 90% of it.
They have provided America w ith the most com
plete and efficient electric service in the world.
T h a t’s why America is prepared, electrically,
and why G overnment funds and m anpow er can
be used for O TH ER defense preparations where
there is an ACTUAL need.
