Starting thli wade Greyhound boNi
will be traveling the airwaves M
well at the hi^wayi. The premiere
of Greybonnd’t sew and radically
different radio show takes place tCK
night on the coast to coast NBC
Blue Network. The program presents
a new departure in air show styling—
and one that should prove highly en
tertaining to all types and ages of
listeners. According to preview re
ports, the highlight of the half hour’s
mtertainment is a battle of wits staged
against a background of America’s
scenic and historic wonders. The
actual studio contestants are teams
picked from the studio audience—but
the whole transcontinental audience
gets just as much fun out of this new
radio game as do the actual par
ticipants.
(Tash prizes will be given to the
teams engaged in this new test-
your-wifs game and also to listen
ers who send in the prize winning
questions, clues and answers used
on the program.
The music of “Tins Amazing
America” will be in the hands of
Roy Shields and his orchestra, wit'n
song.s by the Ranch Boys. “This
Amazing .^merica’s” combination of
quips and quizzes, knowledge and
non.sense, music and fun, should be
a welcome addition to the nation’s
air fare.

cost of the line. Still others have
made their lines possible by pur
chasing electrical equip m e n t
which more quickly builds up
their load and consequent return
to the company. In all cases they
have olitained properly signed
right of ways.
Mr. Gihhs further explained
that many requests for service
have been made which have not
but that it has
been utterly impossible to answer
all as soon as they would like.
North Wllkesboro is one of four
branches of the Duke Power com
pany system where locu.st poles
are u.sed. Locust poles cost only
about one-third as much as creo
sote poles and this fact alone
makes many lines possible now
that would otherwise have to be
postponed for several years. “And
too, the company derives a certain
amount of pleasure in using ma
terials produced locally,’’- Mr.
Gibbs said.
The lines now under ccnstruc-
tion and the eight extensions ap
proved tor building this year- will
make Wilkes county stand near
the lop in rural electric lines In
the state, notwithstanding Its
large area and the fact that much,
of the county is hilly and moun
tainous.
The people of the county have
shown a determination to have
electric service and have coope
rated well with power company
officials In making the many
miles of rural electric lines prac
tical.

the grand opening, when hun

The merchandise in the store
is set up in a modern manner
which assures adequate display
and ease of selection on the par,t

been made as convenient as pos

by several years of experience in
the automotive field.
Mass buyin.g enables local peo

that are offered in the larger
trade centers of the country.
Among the featured lines car

and other tires made by Goodrich,
the Electro-Pak battery line of
the company, auto radios, seat
covers, brake equipment, wax
and polishes, and 1600 other ac
