^ght. Residents who have not yet ordered their candles should contact Vem
Wallace at 726-7S90, or Vivian MacDonald at 726-6?27. Candles are still

I^IERGENCY ELECTRICAL Through the cooperation of Art Hoyt and A1 VJ^llie the
tq TATcrpATTi^n Knoll Shores now has an emergency electrical
SljSM IS j:^I^TALLED system that will provide service in event a hurricane or
disaster would cause a power interruption. Some
months ago the town purchased a 3,000-watt gasoline-powered generator for
standby ser^ce. It now has been installed along with appropriate switching
par through the generosity of Art and Al, who donated their time and talents
to the project. The voltage supplied by the generator is not sufficient to
maintain all town hall services in the event of a blackout, but will furnish W
^wer to light the fire and rescue bay; the emergency headquarters over
looking the garage, the gasoline pumps, the police .station "and sufficient wall
sockets to charge walkie-talkies and beepers.
One we overlooked: Special thanks to Dick Mansfield for his installation
° ^ most attractive, top for the table in the Commissioners meeting
room. This certainly was a much needed improvement to the table and is appre
ciated by all concerned.
^SI»ipKEr*JS VEII* "Smokey,” the firehouse cat, has had her hysterectomy and
„ 3“^ ape^s ,to be well and continues her assigned duties
EHTERTAPIDiG of catching snakes and mice that make the mistake of visiting
the building. She also has attracted a large, and well-
groomed, male cat who drops by for a visit now and then, but obviously only
to dine at ”Smokey*s ” dimner dish. On more than one occasion the visitor has
been escorted from the firehouse, v/hich apparently fails to discourage the not
so amorous, but hungry, admirer.
CABLE TV At the Board of Commissioners meeting on November 21, Ted Crain,
a representative of Vision Cable Company, requested permission
ip. COMING of the town to permit his company to run six aerial lines on
iu easting poles on a temporary basis. The permission was granted
on the condition that the town be furnished a letter stating that the cables
will be placed underground no later than 60 days after the Salter Path Road
IS completed.
