Senator Jordan Appointed
State Easter Seal Chairman
Chapel HiU? Senator John R.
Jordan, Jr. of Raleigh has been
named State Campaign Chair
man for the 1083 Eaater Seal
Appeal. Clarence E. Whitefleld
of Durham, president of the
North Carolina Society for
Crippled Children and Adults,
announced the appointment.
Whitefleld stated: "The Easter
Seal Society is honored to have
Senator Jordan as our State
Chairman. The fact that he is
willing to assume this responsi
bility, particularly with the
legislature in session, is in it
self a testimonial to the worth
iness of our work. His leader
ship will assure a successful
campaign." The Easter Seal
drive begins on March 7 and
ends on Easter Day.
Jordan, who has represented
the 13th Dstrict in the State
Senate for the 1999, 1961, and
present sessions, is prominent
in political and legal circles
throughout the state. A gradu
ate of the University of North
Carolina, he also attended Cho
SEN. JOHN R. JORDAN, JR.
win College and North Caro
lina State. He received bis law
degree from the University of
North Carolina in 1048.
Jordan succeeds H. Clifton
Blue who served as the 1962
State Ch?Irm?. The 1963 ap
peal seeks to raise $200,000.00.
The shorter pole? owned by t rural electric
cooperative ? wai built in 1949 to serve a rural
home. -
Then ? 10 yean later ? the area became more
densely populated and wai annexed into a town.
That's when the taller pole was put np by a
commercial, investor-owned power company ?
the same company which would not serve the
area when it was sparsely populated.
%
The company and the town said to the co-op,
"Get out."
Fair? Hardly. What's more, H isn't just
the cooperatives who suffer when their mem
bers are taken away by these duplicate lines ?
although it means oae less member to share
the cost of electric service. All consumers lose.
Aftea all, the cost of the unnecessary power
company lines is a part of its customers' electric
bills. ;
' North Carolina's rural electric cooperatives
believe they ? and the rest of the public ? should
he protected from wasteful duplication which
makes the cost of electric service higher than
it really should be.
