' " ■ V* l } &y- J' - SECTION B Need For New Energy Regulations CAMBRIDGE, Mass.- Virginia Electric and Power Company president William W. Berry, in a speech at a Massachusetts Institute of Technology symposium, call ed for prompt steps toward a freely competitive system for generating the electricity the nation needs Berry, the first executive of a major utility to publicly en dorse competition through free market system of generation companies, made his remarks while addressing a symposium on “Electric Power: Regulation, Deregulation and Structural Reform” sponsored by M.l.T.’s Center for Energy Policy Research. Berry said the present system of regulation had left utilities with a variety of financial problems and lacks incentives for efficiency. f Hollowells ~ I Electrical Service Edenton l Alvin Hollo well Owner (Licensed Electrician) !

We need to do it in away that will go as far as possible toward solving both the financial and efficiency problems,” he said. Berry pointed out that the financial problems are threatening future electricity shortages and the efficiency problem is keeping electric costs higher than they need to be. Berry said the present regulated system should be replaced with a free market system of generating com panies competing for business on a price basis through regional energy exchanges. Berry suggested that the Thursday, November 11,1982, Edenton, N.C. U.S. could be divided into 10 electric regions, each with about 60,000 megawatts of generating capacity. “That would permit at least six to a dozen generating companies with 5,000 to 10,000 megawatts of capacity operating in each region,” Berry said. “There could be enough companies to result in vigorous rivalry for capacity contracts;” he said. Berry also pointed out that any company, including small and innovative power pro ducers and cogenerators, would be able to enter the market if it could compete in the reliable supply of power. “Obviously no one is rushing to enter the elctric generating business today,” Berry said. “But in a deregulated industry, where attractive profits are possi ble, we could easily see new entrants who believe they can capitalize on some com petitive advantage.” Participants in the sym posium included academic experts from M.I.T. and Har vard, regulators and representatives of electricity users.

Microwave Oven Checked Free By Service Sanitarians employed by the Pasquotank Perquimans - Camden - Chowan District Health Department check microwave ovens free of charge, on Fridays on an appointment basis. In recognition of the number of people who enjoy the convenience of microwave cooking in this area, the Pasquotank - Perquimans - Camden - Chowan District Health Department sanitarians would like to convey in formation regarding the proper use of microwave ovens. A tube inside a microwave oven, known as a magnetron, onverts or dinary household current into microwaves. Microwaves are invisible, high frequency waves of energy that bounce off oven walls, pass through non - metallic cooking utensils, and are absorbed by food. Energy from microwaves cause rapid movement of food molecules. As the molecules vibrate, they rub against each other. This molecular friction produces heat to cook food. Microwave ovens heat food, but they do not make food radioactive or con taminated. However, there are concerns as to the ef fects microwave oven radiation has on people. Microwaves can heat human body tissue in much the same way they heat food. This could possibly cause severe bums. The lens of the eye is par ticularly sensitive to intense heat, and exposure to a high level of microwaves could possibly cause cataracts. [NO DOWN PAYMENT!!

Accidental exposure to high levels of microwaves could result in temporary sterility. There is little information available on the effects to people exposed to low levels of microwave radiation. All microwave ovens produced after October 1971 must follow regulations set by the Food and Drug Ad ministration for the amount of microwave radiation permitted to leak from the oven walls, the seals around the door, and the window compartment. The sanitarians at the Pasquotank - Perquimans - Camden - Chowan District rtment can be reached at the Health Department at 338 - 2167 to set up an ap pointment. New Policy Or Carolina Telephone TARBORO—Effective January 10, 1983, Carolina Telephone customers will not be able to bill a long distance telephone call to a third number from a pay station unless someone at the third number authorizes it. T.K. McLaughlin, general operator services manager with Carolina Telephone, said, “This new policy will protect customers from being billed for calls they do not authorize. It also will save the company, and ultimately all customers, costs resulting from erroneously or fraudulently billed calls. We estimate that about $500,000 in fraudulent third number bill ings will be made this year from telephones in the Carolina Telephone area.” Beginning January 10, customers making long distance calls from pay sta tions will be able to call col lect, pay for the call with MINI STORAGE YOU Lock It Up & Keep The Key Store Anything, Any Size, Anytime, As Long As You Need Open 24 hr*, a day - 365 days per year <4it) (4x16) (til*) or (16x16) To Choooo Fron Motor Homo Or Boat Parking f 1 i** v J n STORE ANYTHING At Mini-Storage, you cam More almost anything Ik if TV TT It a a greet place for household goods between |\/| 11\] I movea (It's cheaper to store with us for a *■" II month then rent a moving truck overnight ) “ d *» qtpid a r c U's a safe harbor for your boat or motor home I 1 7l\Mv ifj during the cold winter months a It's a dry storage place for extra furniture or the baby things you can't bear to get rid of Jl M*a a greet place for Urge, expensive tools, V- - ; lawn mowers, garden tractors, etc., when you don't need them at home U B’s a place for excess inventory from your U business, and a place to keep seasonal mer chandise until it's back in season .. - STORE ANY SIZE )) A1 Mini-Storage, you can rent as much or a> jy little space as you need We have storage spaces f/ available in all sizes, so we can handle almost any storage problem J| And you never have to pay for more space than Tt you really need u ImM 8 Fxiaoca Thi» it th« Antwtr 1 If NoU On v iitmmtbi# mattfitlt tidudtd if AIM AvailtMa Van* Fichupt * Moving Trucks on Advance Notice' U Whotaito Y) MINI STORAGEV N.
