was going to record it, 1 really

Bennett at that time had ju.-t
become tlie hottest seller at Co
lumbia Records with the single.
'I Left My Heart in San Fran
cisco.
Todav Bennett's recording of
Sadie's "I Wanna be Around" is
moving toward the top of tlie
best-seller charts.
Sadie is grateful to Mercer, be
cause Johnnv wrote the music
and lyrics but gave her credit as
cocomposer and split the royal
ties with her on 50-50 basis.
"He is a most unselfish man."
Sadie said of .Mercer. "To me he
was a person you could talk to."
Wealth on Way
Sadie's song sold 15,000 copies
the first day it was released. It
appears that she will net about
$50,000 in royalties by June.
While Sadie is not a profession
al musician and does not pretend
to be anything more than an av
erage Youngstown citizen, she
sings in the choir at St. Ann's
Roman Catholic Church.
"My husband passed away four
years ago, but 1 don't like being
called a widow," Sadie said. "I
now sell cosmetics and 1 love my
job."
Her ambition now is to see two
men who mean so much to her.
"We arc a little trio," she said,
but I've never met Tony Bennett
or Johnnv Mercer."

the chamber was being "unreal

income and expenditure were "tin-
related to the specifics of state
budgeting and lacking in under

Howe said bluntlv that California

Here's what Mrs. Raleigh M. Carter of Yreka says about electric living . . .
We have a comfortable all-electric home
and wouldn't trade it for anything'
"Our old house is now our dream house since we re
modeled for all-electric living. We installed new color
matched kitchen appliances and many other electrical
features including extra circuits for patio lighting and
the additional electric helpers we plan to get. Since my
husband and I both work we appreciate even more the
convenience these features afford. We think electric
service is our biggest value."
Thousands of other Pacific Power & Light customers,
like Mrs. Carter and her family, live better because
they make generous and effective use of modern
