Q Is every local draft board<br />

board decides this man is not contributing<br />
all he coukl to the war<br />
effort, H can refuse him a dofcr--<br />
'<br />
merit.<br />
Q Then a board can draft men<br />
over 30 evon if it still has not inducted<br />
all Its men under 36?<br />
A. Yes, but this would be the<br />
exceptional case, not the rule.<br />
Q. Isn't it true, however, that<br />
many men over 30 doing useful<br />
'work in essential industries were<br />
drafted and arc being dratted now<br />

A growing city is almost invariably a city with a friendly and hospitable<br />
spirit. Sometimes a city achieves a sudden growth as a result of<br />
an oil boom or the discovery of other wealth hidden beneath it's soil. But<br />
these instances are only rare. Most cities are man made.<br />
Small cities become great cities through the vision and energy of it's<br />
citizens. Such a city constantly seeks new capital investment in its development,<br />
new enterprises, new industries, new payrolls and new citizens.<br />
This program of city building, featuring 'the welcoming hand of<br />
friendship to new citizens and new enterprises and accompanied by the<br />
fullest possible support of the industries it already has, brings rich rewards.<br />
The great cities of the Southwest were built and are being further<br />
built in just such manner.<br />
The Southwestern Public Service Company is an independent company<br />
operating wholly under local management, since it has no holding<br />
company over it whatsoever. Thus it's officers and managers are in<br />
position to conduct the operations of the Company under a policy of cooperation<br />
with the people of the cities and communties it serves.<br />
This policy means the finest possible service to the public at the lowest<br />
possible rates consistent with such service. It also means the fullest<br />
cooperation with the citizens in all matters leading to the development<br />
and upbuilding of the cities and communities served by the Company.<br />
