enough oil at present. However.
it is a "serious situation"
said Fred Hurst of Bullock Oil.
B. G. White of Bowers and
Burrows said their company
had about 25 percent more calls
during Monday and many calls
to repair furnaces. He suggested
that each individual bundle
up a little more and run the
thermostat as low as possible.
He added that it would help if
people would turn the thermostat
hack when they leave for
work or at night when in bed.
Carolina Power & Light
Company, meanwhile, has
reduced voltage temporarily
"to insure uninterrupted service."
said Gordon Green, man
ager of the local company.
Green added that with the
high level usage by consumers
and with the cold weather, the
company has reduced the
voltage to increase "availability
for peak demands expected
during the cold period." He also
noted that "such reduction is
not expected to make any
difference in the operation of
appliances, etc."
He also stressed the
importance of conservation.
"Strange things happen to lines
in cold weather," he added.
Customers believe that lines
only break during ice storms:
however, lines contract and
expand in cold weather and
break, he noted. This was the
case on Monday morning when
customers in the Macon,
Vaughan. Littleton and Gaston
Lake area were without
electricity. A feeder serving
this area was down for about
three hours, Green said.
Pipes, cars and people are
not the only things freezing
these days. Fishing Creek was
frozen solid on Monday
morning. Old-timers cannot
remember the creek, which
furnishes water to the town,
frozen over completely.
The answer may be longjohns.
They may not be
available either since they have
been a stand-in-line item also.
Leggett reported on Monday
that they had received a new
shipment of thermal underwear
but blankets and other warm
clothes were grab items that
day.
The fart is—it's cold. And
whether you have longjohns,
plenty of antifreeze or a warm
house, it is still cold.

i Pesticide School
Slated Here For
I
County Farmers
Warren County's Pesticide
School for farmer's applicator
licensing will be held February
14,15,16 and 17 from 1 p. m. to
8 p. m. and 7 p. m. to 9 p. m., L.
C. Cooper, agricultural extension
agent, reported this week.
I All classes will be held in the
Warren County courtroom.
Farmer applicators will have to
attend two two-hour classes for
a total of four hours of
classroom study.
Applicants attending classes
on Monday will return to
classes on Wednesday. Tuesday
applicants will return to classes
Thursday. Cooper said.
Under a new federal law,
farmers must have this
certification before they can
buy restricted-use pesticides
for their 1978 crop. This means
that farmers will need to attend
the classes by the fall of 1977,
Cooper said.
The classes are being
organized and taught by the
Agricultural Extension Service
personnel.
"We try to make the classes
as meaningful to farmers as
possible." Cooper added.
"Topics covered include pest
identification, types of pesticides
and how they work, and
pesticide safety, equipment,
application rates and regulations.
"Most farmers who have
attended the classes say the
information has helped them to
use pesticides more efficiently
and profitably," Cooper commented.
L. B. Hardage. county
extension chairman, estimated
that about 750 farmers in
Warren County currently use
restricted use pesticides. These
are pesticides that have been
declared potentially dangerous
to people, animals or the
environment.
All a farmer must do to sign
up is to contact the Warren
County Agricultural Extension
Office. Cooper said.
