Edison Co. Gives
Correct Figures
Recent electric rate comparisons
of the Federal Power commission
overlook a $4;000;000 a year sav-
ing for service benefits to Detroit
Edison customers and entirely ig-
nore a $20,0,00,000 tax bill paid
from customer receipts for the
support of village, city and federal
governments, according to an
analysis by James W. Parker,
president of The Detroit Edison
company. "These studies are a
healthy thing and we are glad to
see them published, but they fall
far short of telling the real story,"
Mr. Parker said.
"Detroit Edison in 1943 paid
more taxes per kilowatthour sold
than the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority averages in revenue per
kilowatthour," said Mr. Parker.
"Furthermore a quarter of all the
money received by the company
was paid out in taxes, while in
Los Angeles, which is munici-
pally owned, the plant paid only
5.8 per cent in taxes including
contributions to the city's general
fund. In the year compared in the
Federal Power commission's re-
port this meant a customer using
100 units or kilowatthours paid
$2,86 in Los Angeles and $3.28 in
Detroit. If Detroit Edison custom-
ers had to pay no higher tax rate
on their utility service than did
Los Angeles ;we could have given
our people a bill of $2.64, or 8 per
cent less than in Los Angeles, and
our lamp exchange and special
service in addition."
Mr. Parker pointed out that De-
troit Edison is one of only six
companies in the United States
(serving cities of 50;000 or more
people) which exchanges custom-
ers' lamps without charge other
than their regular bill for electric-
ity. The other five cities are St.
Louis, Hartford, Kansas City (Mis-
souri), Lansing and Pontiac
(Michigan).
"Detroit Edison is the only com-
pany that provides fuse replace-
ments, renews appliance cords and
makes small appliance repairs free
—free in the sense that there is no
charge beyond the regular bill for
electricity.
"Considering that 25 per cent of
gross receipts goes for taxes and
considering also this extra service
to customers which is tremendous-
ly economical for the customer be-
cause it is done on the basis of its
wholesale cost, our rating on the
national scale is a creditable one.
This is true in spite of the fact that
coal and labor costs are noticeably
high in Detroit and this makes a
great difference in the cost of ren-
dering service in different parts,.
of the country. The Power coin-,
mission's studies show that resi-
dential and commercial rates have
gone steadily down and that in
the Detroit Edison area the aver-
age domestic customer's bill fo
100 units is $3.28 a month compar-
ed with the national average of
$3.76. The charges paid by some-
what larger users also campare
favorably with those in other cit-
ies of comparable size. In some
cases the bill is slightly less but
in many others it is more than the
amount paid in Detroit."
All of these varying costs must
be taken into consideration in or-
de- to make an accurate compari-
son. "A ton of suitable coal which
costs $5 delivered in Detroit may
cost more than $6.00 in Boston
and only about $3.00 in Chicago,"
Mr. Parker said, "and this element
of cost is further complicated by
variations of the heat content of
the coal. Also Detroit Edison oper-
ates in one of the world's highest
cost labor markets according to
figures from the United States De-
partment of Labor."
Here ,And There
There is need for realization of
the existing fact of the universal
brotherhood of man.—Dr. T. Z.
Koo.
The true grandeur of nations is
in those qualities which constitute
the true greatness of the individ-
ual.—Charles Sumner.
From lack of moral strength
empires fall. Right alone is irre-
sistible, permanent, eternal. —
Mary Baker Eddy.
That government is the strong-
est of which every man feels him-
self a part.—Thomas Jefferson.
It may be laid as an universal
rule that a government which
attempts more than it ought will
perform less.—T. B. Macauley.
The office of government is not
to confer happiness, but to give
men opportunity to work out
happiness for themselves.—Wil-
liam Ellery Channing.
Government is a trust and the
officers of the government are
trustees; and both the trust and
the trustee are created for the
benefit of the people.—Henry Clay
Human law is right only as it
patterns the divine. Consolatior 1
and peace are based on the en-
lightened sense of God's govern-
ment.—Mary Baker Eddy.
In a great house there are not
only vessels of gold and of silver,
but also of wood and earth; and
some to honour, and some to
dishonour.—St. Paul (II Timothy

Service Members'
Ration Books Are
To Be Turned In
Residents of this area were giv-
en a reminder this week that
when a member of their family
leaves for the armed services, or
a death occurs, they are required
to surrender the member's ration
books to the local ration board.
The books should be turned in
to the OPA offices in the Plyin-
outh City Hall within 10 days
after the family member enters
the service, or after'a death, Chief
Ration Clerk Ray Bacheldor, said.
There is no penalty for not
doing so, other than the usual
ones for using a ration book
other than one's own. How-
ever, the honorable and pa.
triotic thing to do is turn
them in.
Using a ration book of one who
has departed is taking unfair ad-
vantage of one's neighbors, since
the person so doing gets more
than his just share.

The rationing system, which ad-
mittedly has its flaws, is based
on the proposition of as nearly
equitable distribution of the avail-
able food as possible.
So turn in those ration books at
City Hall, Bacheldor urges.

Expert
By E. I. Besemer.)
To prevent corn earworm trou-
Nle, snip the tips off the corn ears
after the silk has started to turn
roe=rn, or drop a few drops of
.mineral oil on the silk and down
into the end of the ear. The adult
moth lays its eggs on the silk and
the worms crawl on it to get into
the ear when they start to feed.,
The mineral oil will stop them or,
cutting off the tip of the ear will
destroy them.

Pull and destroy wilted cucum-
ber vines to reduce tho spread ofi
bacteria wilt. 'Since this disease is
spread by cucumber beetles, keep',
them off the plants by dusting
regularly with a •combination con-
sisting of one part of calcium arse-
nate and 19 parts of gypsum.
As soon as peas have stopped'
producing, the vines should be
pulled up. They can then be used
to mulch the tomato plants.
Beans planted prior to July 10
in Southern Michigan will, pro-
vided the fall weather is right,
produce a good late crop.
Keep the cultivator and hoe go-
ing to control the weeds. As the,
season progresses, shallow up on
the cultivation and stay further
away from the rows to avoid dis-
turbing the roots of the plants.
A mulch of straw, grass clip-
pings, or leaves placed on the soil
under the tomato vines at this
time will help to keep the soil
cooler and more uniformly moist.
It will also help somewhat to re-
duce blossom end rot and by keep-
ing the fruits off the ground will
reduce the amount of rot on the
lower clusters.
When cauliflower heads are
two to three inches across, the
leaves should be tied or pinned up
around them to keep out the sun
and prevent them from turning
brown. Tie them up when the
leaves are dry and don't tie them
too tightly.

Day Sprinkling
Reported Desi
Plymouth gardeners who for
years have made it "big business"
to grow vegetables for the De-
�troit market, say there's "moo
news" in the announcement that
has just come from the Michigan
State College that watering a
garden during the day time does
not injure vegetable plants.
Local gardeners for years have
practiced day -time sprinkling.
The college announcement says
that watering your garden when
the sun is shining won't result in
scalding the plants, as some people
believe.
As a matter of fact, if you're
going to use a sprinkler and get
the foliage wet, it's better to do
it during the heat of the days than
in the evening. Sprinkling during
the day will cool the plants and
reduce the amount of water they
give off. It will help to reduce
wilting on some of the more ten-
der plants.
Sprinkling in the evening has
one decided disadvantage. The
leaves remain moist overnight
and leaf spot diseases and mildews
are more likely to spread.
One precaution should be ob-
served for daytime watering on
clay soil. Thoroughly soak the
ground to a depth of at least six
inches, then cultivate as soon as
it is dry enough. This prevents
caking of the soil.
That garden plants will be
stunted by overhead watering
with cold water also is pretty
much of a myth. On a hot day,
when the water is sprinkled over
the plants in a fine mist, the tem-
perature at which it strikes the
plants is considerably higher than
when it leaves the faucet.
If an overhead sprinkler is not
used, one of the best ways to
water the garden is to place the
end of the 'hose on a board be-
tween the rows, allowing the wa-
ter to run slowly onto the soil. Or,
a canvas or porous hose can be
used. Either prevents ashing of
the soil.

IT TAKES A I -OT OF TELEPHONE EQUIPMENT
TO FIGHT A WAR OUT HERE
WITH more planes, more ships, more troops
going into action over the vast reaches of
the Pacific, the demand for new communica-
tions equipment continues. Telephone fac-
tories are still working nearly 100% on war
orders.
That is not encouraging news for those
who are waiting for telephones here at home.
For only after materials, manpower and
manufacturing facilities become available
for civilian production can we begin our
$120,000,000 post-war expansion and im•
provement program.
MICHIGAN
And telephones alone won't solve the
problem. We need more central offices,
more switchboards, thousands of miles of
wire and cable. Enlarging a telephone sys-
tem requires slow, painstaking hand work.
Working as fast as we can, it may be two
years before telephones can be installed
generally without delay.
There are over 115,000 Michigan families
on our growing "waiting list." If you are
among them, we thank you for your patience
and co-operation. Our aim is to serve you
as quickly as possiB'le.
