AC 7-3014 Lakeland BOth Anniversary of Light Noted on October 21 October 21, 1879 is the 80th anniversary of Thomas Edison s invention of the first practical electric light He started with an investment of $40,000 of his own money and $300,000 provided by a group of businessmen. Today the value of plant and equipment of electric light plants ii $44,000, 000,000. We are ahead of Russians there. In 1957 United States capacity was 146,221,000 kilowatt while Russia was 160, 219 kilowats. Millions are employed in electric industries now. Edisons first customers paid $2.53 a kilowatt. The price now is 2.53 tenths cents. The story of light is interesting Torches made of resinous material were first used. Abe Lincoln is said to have learned to read by the light of blazing pine knots. Candles were used for years but they were expensive although many made their own from tallow. After the civil war kerosene oil and gas was used also gasoline pressure lamps. My father used big brass kerosene lamps to light his store. Edison first used a carbon thread filament in his incadescent light bulb. It gave a tiny light not much bigger than a firefly. The first electric lights I saw were about 1900. You had to have a lot of the carbon lights to get much illumination. They came on about 5 p.m. and went out at midnight.

The first street lights were furnished by two big carbon pencils in a glass globe when the current jumped from one to the other it made a blinding white light Pinckney did not get electric light! until about 1910. It was installed by Glenn Gardner. Gasoline or steam engines furnished the power. The first electric light plants were owned by private persons or villages who bonded to raise the cost. The Detroit Edison Co. did not come here until 1921. No matter flow mucn time you find to look for it, lost time is never found again.

That the method of collection was written into the law and that those who are collecting 6c on a $1.49 sale are collecting too much. The Michigan Retailers Association sent out a tax collection table in which the use tax was to be collected with the sales tax on the basis of one cent to a 17c to 37c purchase. The use tax reads no use tax can be collected on purchases of less than 50c. In their arguments before the supreme court the supporters for the use tax argued that it was an entirely new tax different from the sales tax. The supreme court is expected to hand down a decision on the constitutionality of the use tax this week. "Trick or Treat 11 Wasn't Always with Us on Hallowe'en, October 31 The Livingston County Press had an indignant letter from a mother last week bemoaning the fact that the Howell school had sent a note home by pupils asking last year that they not go out "Trick or Treating" that the school would give them treats instead. She said this deprived her children from enjoying the pleasure of going around from house to house trick or treating, with a bag for the treats. We do not follow her line of reasoning. Trick and treat, unheard of in our distant youth has become a racket, the residents here on Halloween are usually visited by over 100 children, some of whom come from as far as 10 miles away to fill their bags. Some of them are not over 2 years old and are subjected to the traffic hazards of that night. The people here are kept busy that night answering their doorbell. State Police Report on Water Accidents Two hundred and sixty-one persons were drowned and 76 injured in 398 water accidents in Michigan this year. Of the drownings 33 were boat operators, 60 passengers, 76 swimmers, 2 skin divers, 1 water skiier, 23 children who wandered away, 11 who fell in the water For an easy dessert, almost as good as pie, sweeten and flavor cooked fresh fruit (any kindf to taste with sugar and pure vanilla extract Heat and serve over hot buttered toast costums on Halloween and that we will dance that day. The rest of the party has not been decided yet. On Monday we made pictures. We cut everything out of paper. Today our book reports were handed in. THE BUSINESS and PROFESSIONAL CORNER L I.
