of the Bast Bend, Donnaha,
Richmond Hill, Deep Creek
Friends Church, Randolph,
Swaim's Baptist Church and Ire
land Town communities, finally
leaving Yadkin county at the
Limerock near Rockford.
The new REA line will serve
widely-scattered communities in
Surry county, serving part of the
Copeland section and then ex
tending near the New Home
Christian Church, where it
branches into two lines. One line
will extend past Dobson into the
Salem Pork, Union Cross, Dob
bins' Mill and Mulberry sections,
THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA
EJree Theatre Ticket Photos
while the other extends into the
Little Mountain section above
Union Church, where it branches
once more.
The upper end of the line in
Surry county will stretch across
the Mount Airy-Dobson highway
near White Plains, then through
the Pine Ridge section into the
Beamer territory on the old
Lowgap Road, on to the Virginia
line, back down to Oak Grove
and then from the old Booker
School over to the Piper's Gap
and Hopper's Ridge roads.
The main line from the Little
Mountain section will extend
through Ararat to Long Hill,
crossing the Mount Airy-Pilot
Mountain highway at the home
of A. S. Thomas, and extending
through the Cooke's School sec
tion and the old Hill and Love
School community. From the
Hill and Love section the line
will extend across the Mount
Airy-Westfield highway near the
home of P. H. Jessup and on
through the Albion community,
crossing over into Stokes county
into the Asbury community and
extending from there past the
Union Mill into the Collinstown
and Overy sections.
The officers and directors of
the new corporation have em
ployed Attorney Frank Freeman,
of Dobson, as legal advisor, and
Robert Burrus, of Rockford, as
superintendent of operations. The
attorney will be on a part-time
basis, while the only full-time
employees will be the superin
tendent, an office assistant, a
head linesman and assistant
linesman. Main offices will be
located at Dobson.
Each consumer on the line is
to rate as a stockholder, with the
net profits from the business to
retire the REA loan of $250,000.
The power for the lines will be
purchased wholesale by the cor
poration from the Duke Power
Company, which will install a
special sub-station at Long Hill
between Mount Airy and Pilot
Mountain. Power rates to con
sumers are planned to conform as
nearly as possible to existing
power rates.
The actual construction of the
lines is to get under way with the
staking of poles within the next
two weeks, and the officers and
directors stated this week that
they hoped to have the lines com
plete and the power going into
the more than 900 homes within
sixty to ninety days. Approxi
mately 350 other homes are ex
pected to be added by the time
the lines are ready.
Where To?

to take a trip around the world
but I think I want to go some
where else."

All insect sprays are not alike in
killing power. But the killing
power of Sinclair P.O. is so high
that it rates "Grade AA" (the high

Bureau of Standards, U.S. Depart*
