ELECTRIC LIGHT
The installation of electricity in our Stores and office is now completed. And has been connected to the mains. The difference in the brightness between this and the old lighting system is so great that the spiders are wearing sunglasses. It is indeed a great boon and we have now been able to “get cracking” once again with our waste paper project.
Working as a team we found the installation caused an immense amount of fun. Numerous people had go putting clips in for the wire. I don’t know exactly how many thumbs were hit, but I do know that some people’s idea of the horizontal differs from the generally accepted one. However, the wiring in the stores is extremely neat and many people cannot credit that it was done by ourselves.
One Saturday afternoon in drizzle and rain our toughest team of members started on the 80’ overheads. Mr Curtis brought for us the much-needed ladder and generally assisted, we thank him very much. When it came to the actual erection of the overheads we found ourselves only just strong enough to cope.
On completion of the entire project the following profound statement was made. “Never have the Youth group worked so hard in so little time”

I was interested to see on another page of this same edtion, in the "Books to Read" column "Bookworm" was recommending a Teach Yourself Book entitled " Household Electricity" - Willy
