SERVANTS GALORE... BY WIRE
• In 1900 the Standard of Living enjoyed by a family was gauged by
the size of the home and the number of servants employed.
In 1950, the beginning of the second half of the century, the most
humble home in the land can, for a few cents, employ electrical servants
which all the money in (name of municipality) couldn’t buy in 1900.
The good old days are now a back-drop to the Passing Show of a
Hew high in the standard of living brought to light and life by electricity.
We of your local Hydro are proud of our part in this transition and
look confidently to the future—with you.

Alaska’s giant Kodiac bear
plays rough. But the people who
run the Bronx Zoo have found
the perfect toy for him. It’s an
aluminum beer barrel, which in
his playful moments, he can
bang, bounce and generally
maltreat without serious dam
age. Having seen barrels (filled)
being tossed around trucks, we
can understand why breweries
have turned to these rugged,
attractive containers. Another
reason, of course, is that alu
minum is an excellent protector
for food and drink, preserving
their purity and flavour indef

"Careful, Pauline!"
Of course no one would dream of climbing a telephone pole
without being especially careful. Yet every time you climb a
shaky ladder or stand on a rickety chair you may not realize
what a big chance you’re taking. Actually more people have
accidents rjg/rt at home than anywhere else.
By avoiding accidents you save more than suffering and
worry—you save money, too! In a family the size of ours
(we’re now over 31,000), these savings are important. That’s
why our employees are not only thoroughly trained to use
safety tools and methods, but continually reminded to take
every precaution to avoid injury to themselves and others.
It’s another way we help keep costs down so we can pro
vide you With the best possible telephone service at the
lowest possible cost.
How to preVent koine accidents is shown in “Home Safe
Home11', a folder available free from the Health Depart
ment of your Provincial Government or from the De
partment of National Health and, Welfare, Ottawa.
