Types of Dinnerware Do your spending plans include buying some new dinnerware? Will it be china or pottery ware? Don't automatically say pottery because "I can't afford china." As you look and shop you will find there is a wide range of cost and workmanship within both types of dinnerware. True, china usually costs more, but there is also some fine pottery that costs equally as much. China, or porcelain, is made from bone, clay or stone that is completely melted in the firing process. This gives china a translucency that distinguishes it from pottery. China is not only translucent, but it is also completely non-absorbent and will not chip easily.

Pottery, or earthenware, is made from mixed clays and is baked at varying temperatures. It is not melted in the firing process. It chips more easily than china and once chipped, it absorbs moisture. The better pottery is that which is fired at the higher You will find china and pottery patterns to suit all tastes and fit all decorative schemes. Whatever you choose, you would be wise to select a pattern that is sold in open stock.

This way in years to come, you will be able to replace broken pieces or add to your set. jnhs 200 pounds ammonium niece, Mrs. Hattie Gibbs and Miss MAY ON US SURVEY SHIP IN ALASKAN AREAS Thaddus and Charles Green were County Council meeting. i tne kitrhpn nnr' It'c oasv tn elm Miss Mattie Clair CaJ 1 1 uiuc spcwui ujcuiiu in i i nn a upf (froacv ennt Mrs. Jennie Norman led the te, zou iu.

2. The Power Company has offered the City of Newton: A. $35,000.00 in cash. B. Deed to the building and lot on North Scanlan Street, which is estimated to be worth approximately $15,000.00.

C. 2 of its gross sales in the City of Newton, provided the City will grant the Power Company a non-exclusive, twenty-five year, standard franchise. The 2 amounts to approximately $230.00 per month, and this will increase with the size of the town and the use of electric power. The City needs the money and can use the building. 3.

The Legislature enacted and the Governor signed House Bill No. 123, known as the Public Utilities Bill. This bill provides, among other things, the following: A. Section 5, Sub-section E. The Mississippi Power Company, United Gas Company and the Telephone Company are to pay the City 2 on specified revenues and charges earned within the City of Newton, provided such utilities have franchises or are duly authorized to do business inside the City.

B. Section 5, Sub-section "Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in anv case where a utility is located and operates, or proposed to locate and operate in municipality where streets and other public places are essential to such location and operation, no certificate of convenience and necessity shall be issued thereasto without prior franchise granted by the municipality; provided, however, such franchise shall not contain any provision conflicting with or repugnant to the exclusive jurisdiction of the commission to regulate rates and services of the utilities as herein provided. Applicants for certificates of convenience and necessity as provided for under section 5 hereof shall attach to their applications true and correct copies of franchises issued to them by such municipality as the application may embrace, and the commission is authorized so to amend such franchises as to exclude and remove therefrom any provision in conflict with or repugnant to the exclusive jurisdiction of the commission over rates and services and which shall in any way fix or affect rates. Provided, however, should any municipality arbitrarily refuse to grant a franchise or provide for an election for a franchise as provided by law to a utility now operating within said municipality within ninety (90) days after application for said franchise is made, then the utility may obtain a certificate of convenience and necessity without the necessity of first obtaining a franchise; and the said commission shall so issue said certificate of convenience and necessity upon proper showing by the utility that said franchise is being arbitrarily withheld. In the event the commission shall rule that a franchise is being arbitrarily withheld and shall issue a certificate of necessity as hereinabove mentioned, the utility obtaining said certificate of convenience and necessity shall not be required to pay to said municipality the two per cent (2) hereinabove provided until such a franchise has been granted to said utility." The Legislature has vested in the Public Service Commission the right to fix and regulate rates.

The City has no further authority in that matter. 4. In order for the City of Newton to guarantee itself the 2 payments offered in the proposed franchise its citizens must vote their approval. The City of Newton is presently losing approximately $230.00 per month because the Power Company has no franchise in the City and the city will continue to lose that amount of money until the power company is given a franchise. Either way you take it, the city will be better off to give the Power Company the franchise than to continue to deny granting such franchise to the Power Company.

5. It is believed that the best interest of Newton will be served by voting to grant the power company the franchise. The city will be in a much better position to get new industries by working with the power company and other public utilities than by trying to work alone. Newton needs an industry which will employ male labor. Our public utilities will help us get this if we will work with them.

Be sure to go to the polls Friday, April 13 and vote for the franchise. To vote against giving the power company the franchise will be a step backward for Newton.

The Inland franchise which expired in November 1952 did not provide for the payment of any consideration for the exercise of franchise rights alone, whereas our proposed standard franchise provides for the payment of 2 of gross revenue in Newton for the exercise of similar rigths." Our purpose in reminding the voters of Newton of these historical facts is that there might be no confusion in your minds concerning this important matter. a at tne tunny tnings the monk- senooi Baccalaureate services Sun- mem feet apart in rich soil.
