® Most likely vou read in the papers about
the two hermit brothers who wandered into town
recently and nearly fell over when they learned
that the country was busy with a man-size war.
You can imagine their further shock when
they tried to buy food and supplies. tems scarce

were different.
Only in paging an electric bill—if their cave
had been wired for clectficity—would the boys
have found no difference, no sign that the war
was sending prices up. y
For even though war has made many things
cost more, you have been able to get plenty of
electricity for your home at the low, prewar
price level. There's been plenty for you, for eur,
industries and for every essential civilian need?
More than 600 West Penn men and women
