Some of us con remember days in the 1930's when we didn't have 10 cents for a pack of cigarettes. But we took up the pipe—or learned to "roll our own." Those were the days when kerosene poisoning was com mon among toddlers . . . and the profit power companies would seldom venture out into the rural areas. When they, did, they usually asked several thousand dollars for a few' hundred feet of line. The REA was created to bring electric service to rural areas without demanding of the consumer he pay for o line which he wouldn't own. It was thought that the existing power companies would borrow the low-interest REA loan funds ond bring electricity to rural America. But most power companies declined. A spokesman for the industry sold surveys showed that all farmers who wanted or could afford electric service olready had it! At that time, only about 4 out of every 100 North Carolina farmers had s reliable electric service. V Throughout America, rural people answered the power > companies. In essence, they said, "We'll roll our own." They organized corporations of a nonprofit nature, borrowed REA loan funds, and built 1,000 electric systems to bring light and power to themselves, and to all who would join with them and share the costs of debt and operating expenses. Now that the basic Investment has been made, and rural people are paying off the REA loans and gaining equity in their systems, some of the power companies would like to step in and take over. Like the Little Red Hen, the member-owners of rural electric cooperatives don't think much of this idea. They did the work ond they'd like to enjoy the towards: Low-cost electric power. Serving more than 4500 homes, churches, schools and businesses in rural Granville, Vance, Dur ham, Wake, Franklin, Johnston and Nash Counties with LOW COST ELECTRICITY.
