Page 10, West Craven Highlights, July S, 1984 CP&L Wins Top National Safety Award Employees of Carolina Power & Light Co. recently earned their company national recognition for occupational safety for the ninth consecutive year. The National Safety Council presented its Award of Honor to CP&L’s chief executive Sherwood H. Smith, Jr. in a June 21 ceremony in Raleigh, N.C., for the company’s 1983 safety record. "The Award of Honor is the highest award the National Safety Council gives,” said Michael J. Neptune, regional director of the Council. “This shows the commitment on the part of management and employees at CP&L to work to reduce and eliminate occupational accidents and injuries on the job.” The Award of Honor is based on the number of disabling injuries among employees per 200,000 man-hours worked. CP&L’s accident record for 1983 was among the lowest in the United States for all industries. The company’s employees worked more than 17.7 million man-hours during 1983 without a fatality and with only 18 lost-time injuries. It is the ninth consecutive year the company has earned the Award of Honor or the Award of Merit from the National Safety Council. CP&L also received the Public Utilities Safety Contest second place award for having the second lowest accident rate of all large public utilities in the United States in 1983. In addition to these national awards, the Raleigh-based utility has recently won safety awards for 1983 from the N.C. Department of Labor, the S.C. Occupational Safety Council, the Southeastern Electric Exchange and the Edison Electric Institute. American Farmland Trust r/l '/ Mu;OTchu!X?lls Avenue, N W Wdshinytcn, Dc ;>n(W) (;TO) 332 0769 AFT Receives Donation The American Farmland Trust (AFT), a private nonprofit conservation organization, has received a donation of an agricultural conservation easement over a 150 acre farm in Gaston County, North Carolina. The family making the donation wishes to remain anonymous. The easement, which consists of legally binding restrictive covenants conveyed by a deed, limits the use of the farm to farming and related purposes. Its objective is to conserve the capacity of the land to produce food and to preserve its significant woodland habitat forever. The farm consists of fertile bottomland, upland pastures and valley terrain containing a natural community of indigenous plant species that are becoming rare in the region, including cardinal flower, umbrella tree, mountain laurel and magnificent stands of beech, hickory and oaks. The property would have been a prime target for residential subdivision had it not been dedicated to agricutiural use. Nationally, the United States is losing approximately 3 million acres of agricultural land each year to residential and other nonfarm uses. North Carolina is losing approximately 125,000 acres of farmland per year. In August 1983, Governor James B. Hunt, Jr., signed an Executive Order pledging the cooperation of state agencies in saving threatened farmiand from development asisted by the government. Over 30 states nationwide have adopted similar measures to keep the most productive farmland in agricultural. The American Farmland Trust is a national organization headquartered in Washington, D.C., committed to conserving prime agricultural land and soils through private initiatives, like the conservation easement, and technical assistance to governmental agencies. It maintains a field office in Winston- Salem to help communities and individual landowners in the development of plans to protect threatened agricultural land. The North Caroiina Farmland Project is supported by a grant from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation of Winston-Salem.
