For a while. It looked as thougn
Mr. and Mrs. Clyde West and their
seven youfttsU'tt "wfiuldn ' hav
much to be thankful for when
Thanksgiving Day came.
Rn onlv for a While.
A fire shortly after noon on Tues
day, robbed them of their modest
frame home and practically every
thing but the clothes they were
wearing.
The young couple were pretty
close to rock bottom when they
hurried home from work and saw
the charred, smoking timbers that
lust a few minutes before had been
the place where they lived.
Outside, saved from the fire,
were only a raoiu, a ww H,rl"
furniture, and the family Bible.
But immediately, neighbors near
by and friends at Wellco Shoe
Corporation where Mrs. west
works, and Unagusta Manufactur
ing Company, where Mr. West
works, swung into action.
Mrs. Leila Parham, assistant
Wellco plant manager, backed by
Heinz oilman, owner of the cor
ized a relief cam
paign to aid the Wests and their
children.
I Filling the most immediate need,
the Wests neighbors, Mr. ana Mrs.
Clarence Moore, otlerea me iamny
a place in their own home until
they could find another house.
Mrs. West's fellow workers at
Wellco chipped in $300 in cash.
Others in and outside of the

furniture.
Wellco gave the parents and
each of the children a pair of bed

The corporation also had a truck
picking up donations of heavy
items and delivering them to the
Wests.

would be cut off in that area be
tween the hours Of 8 a. in. and 11
h m., and 1 p. m. and 5 p. m. from
Monday through Friday, unless bad
weather prevents the crews from
working.
He estimated that it would take
about three months to re-phase the
main lines throughout the corpora
tion's six-county system.
The effect or the work, he ex
plained, would be to triple the
lines' load-carying capacity.
This will provide for the antici
pated increase In the customers in
the future, and at the same nine
provide more power to the pres
ent customers.
The current main-line system, he
continued, has one "hot" wire and j
three neutral, or wound wires. j
The re-phasing will leavo the
system with three "hot" wires and1
one neutral.
One effect would be lo elimi
nate the Interruptions In service
and damage to equipment caused
by overloading conditions.
