__ Heard And Seen ~ By POP One of the most welcomed and needed Christmas presents for Marshall people was the hard topping of the "naked strip" on Main Street last Friday... local people had suffered from muditis and dustitis for weeks... the strip, reaching from one end of Main Street to the other, was caused by the installation of a new water line... although temporary, the new improvement will greatly decrease the mud and dust which has plaqued us for so long. TTie candlelight service Sunday night at the Marshall Baptist Church was certainly impressive... most of the credit for the beauty and significance of die service goes to Charles Huey, who is an expert organist and music director as well, as a person who knows how to arrange and see that programs are carried out with great thought and expertise. The open house Sunday afternoon at the Niles residence was again enjoyed... as usual, the Niles home was beautifully decorated and the large number of friends who attended the occasion had a delightful time... the "bird in the Christinas tree" fascinated me but I wasn't the only one who searches, to no avail, for the chirping little critter. Every year at this time I eat too much at the various Christmas gatherings... over indulgence of cookies, fruit cake, sand wiches of all kinds, mints, candies, Russian tea, eggnog, ice cream and the like cer tainly doesn't help reduce my waistline, which is already too large. Here's wishing the readers of this column a very merry Christmas. (? Forget The /? Hang-Ups Of (? Washday... '? ;< ? (?

This rate increase is necessary because of an in crease in wholesale power costs to the cooperative by Carolina Power & Light Co. of approximately 7.5 per cent. Under the regular farm and home residential rate, the monthly minimum charge will increase from $3.50 to $4. All eiecmc residential accounts will also have a $4 monthly minimum. Members whose usage is 500 KWH per month or less will see a smaller percentage of increase than those whose usage is about 500 KWH. The percentage of in crease will vary according to the number of kilowatt hours used, with those homes using large amounts of power seeing a larger percentage of in crease than the average coop member. Shown below are rates adopted by French Broad EMC for their North Carolina consumers. SCHEDULE A-2 (regular farm and home), first 20 KWH $4 per month (minimum); next 980 KWH $4.25 per KWH; over 1,000 KWH $3.2 per KWH SCHEUDLE AE-2 (all electric), first 20 KWH $4 per uiuiiui v minimum /, iicai rou KWH $4.1 per KWH; over 1,000 KWH $3.1 per KWH SCHEDULE GS-2 (small commercial and schools), first 25 KWH $5 per month (minimum); next 975 KWH $5.0 per KWH; over 1,000 KWH $3.4 per KWH SECURITY LIGHTS: 175 watt luminaire will be $5 per month, and 400 watt luminaire will be $7.75 per month. All accounts will still be - subject to a purchase power & fuel adjustment clause as this will still be charged to the cooperative by CP&L but this will be considerably less than members were seeing on their bills in the past. w PEACE, GOOD WILL May your pray art b? antwortd mony-faM ovkI your htort fHI<d ?ritk fay and lava.
