She was hit by a car. We supposed it was an accident, but now, we're not too sure. Sunday night, Sept. 12, 1970 about 11:45 p.m. we saw a car deliberately try to run down a little white dog. If people think games like this are funny what will they do next? I wonder if my little son is safe. We thought a lot of our Dolly and her six pups. But we learned the hard way. We are asking you to keep your pets home, especially at night. The driver of that car knows who he is. Hope he is real proud of himself.

Today it's a completely different story. Most everybody knows about electric elec-tric heat. A lot of people are thinking about getting it. And a great many are living with it. But, somewhere along the line, people got the idea that you have to build a new home to enjoy the clean, draft-free comfort of electric heat. That isn't so. Until now, the biggest hangup in converting older homes to electric heating has been insulation. But now, a new process of injecting polyurathane foam between the walls does the job quickly, thoroughly and inexpensively. Most homes now can be converted to electric heat with reasonable costs.
