IT APPEARS almost certain
that 17-year-old Carol Pence, a
member of the St. Louis YM-
YWHA swimming team, will com-
pete for the U. S. in the Olympic
games.
Carol has set
52 speed rec-
ords in regional
compet it i on
during the past
three years. She
has covered 100
yards in 1:15.4
seconds, just .8
of a second
t
short of the U.
Beckman
S. record.

MAURI ROSE, the mustached,
bespectacled veteran of the speed-
way, won the Indianapolis auto-
racing classic Decoration Day and
the men who competed against him
agree that "it couldn't have hap-
pened to a nicer guy."
Bose took 'the lead with only
seven laps to go after trailing
Bill Holland for 250 miles and
gunned his Blue Crown Spark-
plug Special over the finish mar-
MAURI'S RECORD now includes
a victory, a co-victory in 1941, a
second, third and fourth place in
nine starts. Last year he crashed
on the 40th lap and was out the
rest of the race.
A Chicagoan, Rose has the right
spirit for a champion. His for-
mula for victory: "Keep my foot
at 125 miles an hour and let 'er
roar."

THE DETRO T EDISON COMPANY'
2000 SEcoND AVENUE
DETROIT 20,111CRIGAN
May, 1947
To Our Residential Customers:
The Detroit Edison Company has a story that needs telling:
It is an important but little noted phase of the story of
skyrOcketing prices and the now dramatic effort to stop
dangerous increases in the cost of living.
The fact is that Detroit Edison fought this fight all throUgh
the days when there was no drama in it.
Through the war, and since then, there has been no increase in
the price of Detroit Edison electricity to residence customers.
This Company, while PAYING higher prices for labor and materials,
has been able to REDUCE the price of electricity.
Detroit Edison residence customers now use 50 per cent more
electricity than they did in 1939.
This increase in use is a major factor in making possible the
reductions in price.
That process, applied to ALL production, opens the door to lower prices,
progress and prosperity, and to better living for the people.
