THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

It cost
50 million
extra dollars
to keep the
power m
your
Here's

t.

Severe weather and a long coal strike
forced Detroit Edison to turn to supple-
mentary fuels and power sources to
maintain uninterrupted electric service
during January, February and March.

If coal had run out, many people
might have been put out of work, as in
some other states. And a lot of people
would have been without electricity
during rotating blackouts.

But here in southeastern Michigan,
Detroit Edison and the Michigan
Public Service Commission
felt the higher cost of proliiding
continued electric power to keep
factories running and people at work
was worth it.

So Detroit Edison stretched coal
supplies by burning additional amounts
of natural gas and oil—which cost more
than twice as much as coal. Detroit
Edison had to purchase extra electric
power from Canadian sources, as well.

The total cost: about 50 million
extra dollars for January, February
and March.

The result: higher electric bills in
April, May and June.

Not one cent of the increase pays
for other costs of providing electricity.
Not one cent goes into Detroit Edison's
profits.

When considering the alternatives,
Detroit Edison hopes you agree that
higher electric bills are a reasonable
price to pay to have kept the power in
your hands.

Remember, you can continue to limit
the size of your electric bill by using
energy wisely.

Carter Extends
Pesach Greeting

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
President Carter extended
to Jews "all over the world"
his Passover greetings and
assured them that "the love
of freedom they celebrate"
at the Seder "is shared by all
the people of the United
States."
The President said, in his
message issued last week
the meaning of Passover
was universal, "a reminder
to all of us — Jews and
non-Jews alike — that the
struggle for freedom
against oppression must
forever be renewed."
Carter recalled that "lit-
tle more than a generation
ago, the Holocaust —
perhaps the cruelest chap-
ter in the long history of
man's inhumanity to man
— took the lives of six mil-
lion Jewish men, women
and children. And 35 years
ago today, in the streets of
the Warsaw Ghetto, Jewish
fighters rose up in arms
against their Nazi oppres-
sors. We must never forget
the reality and the meaning
of the Holocaust — or the
heroic resistance against
it."
Carter reaffirmed that
the commitment he had
made to the cause of human

rights "will remain firm."
