Detroit Edison Co. Serves
Highest Power Demand

An all-time high in Detroit
Edison's load was reached last
week and served without diffi-
culty, and there is no need for
concern about a power shortage
in this area, according to James
W. Parker, president.
With the holidays past and a
gradual increase in daylight, the
year's peak is in all likelihood
behind us.
On Dec. 18 the load was high-
er by 96,000 kilowatts, or 8.1 per
cent, than a year ago. During
the year 30,000 new customers
were added to the lines, and by
New Year all old requests for
new electric service will have
been filled, Parker said.

CARD OF THANKS
The parents of the late Edward
L. Newmark wish to thank rela-
tives and friends for the many
kindnesses shown them at the
time of the reburial of their son.
