Dublin School Band
Fund Drive Nov. 14
A new and exciting fund rais-
ing campaign wiJJ begin Friday,
Nov. 14, according to Mike
Shafer., director of the Dublin
School Band.
The purpose of the program is
to raise $2,000 to be used for
final payment of new uniforms
and for the purchase of needed
instruments and other equip-
ment. The need is demonstrated
by‘an increase in membership
from 164 members in '74 to 192
members this year.
According to the band direcv
tor, Mr. Shafer, band members
will be taking orders for Pro
Eco.. a new phosphate-free,
ecologically sound laundry de-
tergent. This new laundry *■
detergent program will be
utilized and will enable Band
members to earn the money
needed for this year's program.
This method, according to
Shafer, not only encourages our
members to get involved in the
self-support of our organization,
but serves to help them become
better citizeps today and better
leaders tomorrow.
Each band member partici-
pating in the project will be
offering each an opportunity to
win a year’s supply of Pro Eco
laundry detergent in a local
drawing. By backing the band's
programs and use of this pro-
. duct, your support of the Band
will K^lp improve the life-quality
of our community.

It makes good sense
to pay a little more for
electricity now... than a lot more later.
Texas Power & Light Company’s
costs of producing and supplying
electricity have risen drastically in
the past several years, and they're
certain to continue to go up in
the future.
TP&L must have fuels to operate
its generating plants. Natural gas,
which will adcount for about 77% of
fuel requirements in 1975, rose in
price approximately 84%during
the year. . *’’$$■ -
To reduce its dep^tJ^ty on
natural gas, TP&L ha'S Underway a
massive program to<itMfig«ss
expensive lignite coal$n4&Uclear
materials. Howdver.Tjmtte'and
nuclear plants cost mubfr more to
build than gas plants. Twp lignite-
fueled generating plantstere already
in operation arid others arc under
construction or in advance stages of
planning. A nuclear-fueled plant is
also under construction.
Hundreds of millions of dollars
will be required by TP&L in the next
few years to construct generating
plants. Most of this money must
come from the sale of bonds and
stocks to investors. To sell these
securities, we must be able to pay
competitive rates of interest on bonds
• and dividends on stocks.
All of these conditions and others
left TP&L no choice blit to recently
ask its customers to pay more for
their electric service now to assure
adequate and reliable service in
the future.
