PITTSBURGH—UP—Use of electrical lighting in the United States
has tripled in the past 10 years, according to an electrical industry
spokesman. -
"The national use of electric
light today is equivalent to the
year-long burning, 24 hours a day,
of 300,000,000 75-watt incandescent
light bulbs," a spokesman for
Westinghouse Electric' Corp. said.
Modern architecture, with its
windowless factories and other
commercial structures, would be
impossible without the constantly
increasing output of various forms
of electric light, he added.

Mail   Carrier
Retires   After
Serving   39   Years
WTLLIAMSTOWN, Vt. —UP—
Robert Clogstop. who retired recently after 39 years as a rural
maij carrier, recalls that it was
"pretty rough" when he started
the job.
Clogston said he started working for the post office at the age
of 21. In those days, he had to get
up at 4 a. m., do the chores on his
family's farm and start his mail
route at 7 a. m.
There were many winter days
when he had to walk behind his
sleigh and hold it upright as he
plowed through drifted snow. He
spent a full day covering his 25-
mile route.
When the automobile became
the rural letter carrier's greatest
asset, Clogston was able to cover
his route in a few hours except
when the New England winters
made the going tough.
