sessions at Watauga Academy,
later to become the college,

KENNEDY SHUNS STRIKES
It is reported that President
Kennedy is steering clear of
proposing methods of handling
big labor strikes for fear it will
delay legislation on his tax cut
program.
High Administration sources
said this emotional labor-law
[issue could give some congress
man a diversion to avoid com
ing to grips with the tax pro
gram.
Fair or foul... you call it!
The "ump" calls the play? applies the same
rule* to both teams. But in the "electric
power game," locally-owned rural electric
systems, caught in a squeeze play by utility
giants, depend on you and other Americans
to call for fair play.
Rural electrics, financed by Rural Electri
fication Administration loans and owned by
people they serve, operate mostly in sparsely
settled rural areas ... average only three
consumers per mile. They're pledged to serve
all rural people still without electricity . . .
prohibited by law from using REA loans to
hook Hp anyone already served.
Expanding towns, however, are annexing
area* served by rural electric* and turning
consumers by the thousand* over to urban
franchised power suppliers. Also everywhere
in rural areas, larger users served by rural
electrics are targets of other suppliers. These
louet threaten the existence of rural electrics
which need to serve larger users and more
populated areas in order to- supply remote con
sumers as required by law.
That's why rural people ask, "U it right to
squeeze rural electrics from the area* they
first lighted . . . areas they developed and now
serve so weU? Fair or foul ... you call it!"
