We Only Want What '• We Own! Nobody wanted to serve us with electricity when there appeared to be little chance of profit. So we borrowed REA money and built our own rural electric systems—the same money available to profit power companies to build rural lines. Because service is what we wanted, we or ganized as nonprofit cooperatives. When we pay our electric bill, we pay all expenses of the operation—plus enough to repay our debt to REA. At the end of 1961, members of our 33 systems operating in North Carolina had paid nearly $40 million on principal and nearly $17 million in interest on our debt to REA. And we had nearly $30 million of our own invested in these systems. ‘ , This looks pretty good to some power com panies . . . and they're trying to take over our best areas. It doesn't seem fair for us to build a system, suffer through the roughest years, and then have to give up the best parts because somebody else now seer r chance to make a profit on them.
