Pine Knoll Shores Typifies Gracious Suburban Living Submarine ( Continued from Page 1) the juke box ire rigged *11 through the sub. All the dimes put lh the juke box ire turned over to the recreition fund. The submarine his I movie pro jector and always has a stpck of film on hand for daily showings. The movie projector hit a Cine mascope lens but there i? not much room for the wide screen. Another important morale factor is the incentive pay submariners get for hazardous duty. Command er White said the pay roll averaged $7,000 to $8,000 every two weeks. The tour continued through the submarine with officers and mem bers of the crew explaining the various features of the vesiel. The jovial attitude of both officers and meh and the neat appearance of the sub were the two most striking things about the tour. Only the Best Get In Before a man gets in the sub marine service he must pass se vere physical and psychological tests. When a large number of men is in a relatively small space for a long period of time it Is im portant that all be cheerful, well adjusted persons. Commander White gave Mayor Dill a cigarette lighter with USS Argonaut SS 475 and a ship's em blem on it. He presented the cham ber of commerce with a round plaque with a metal ship's em blem. Mr. DuBois said that he would put the plique on the chim ber office waU. Everyone who visited the sub marine reported that they received the same VIP treatment the mayor and chamber officers got. Mayor Dill promised the subma rine crew the same courteous wel come he received when they came to Morehead City for liberty over the weekend. 1 am ? candidate fat Conner of Gtrttrct County, Primary May 31 ?t, 1988.

Persons who own property in the Shores can make use of the parks as they see fit. Two of the parks are on the Bogue Sound side of the area and one is on the ocean side. Carefully Planned Pine Knoll Shores has been care- 1 fully planned so that the land con tour, the large graceful trees and the near-tropical vegatatlon will serve as an unusual setting for many beautiful year - around homes. AU waterfront lota are 100 feet wide and most of the interior lots run between TO and to feet wide. Each lot has a right-of-way on at least two sides.

Sutton (team electric generating plant at Mount Misery on the Cape Pear, span the Northeast Cape Fear near Castle Ha^oe, and throw its shadow near the lite of famed Lillington Hall, home of Revolutionary War lead er General Alexander Lillington. It will cross the Holly Shelter State Game Refuge, and continue |n a "bee-line" to tap CP&L's dis tribution substation at Jackson ville. There it will feed a network of lines fanning out to Morehead City, Swansboro, Rlchlands, New port, Beaufort, Atlantic Beach and other communities along the coast. Poles and line will begin to rise in early June. The new power artery will be "hot" by next August. The high-tension conductor will span 47 miles? the longest single transmission project to be built by CP&L this year. It will in one step unite Wilmington, Jack sonville and Morehead City. It will also complete a 110,000 volt transmission loop connecting CP&L's Goldsboro and Sutton plants? both post-war additions to southeastern North Carolina's pow er arsenal. Vortex of Progress At the Juncture of these high voltage lines is a vortex of eco nomic growth that is outstanding in the CP&L service area. The change is especially notable in Morehead City, and is sparked by a variety of enterprises which make the community a model of economic diversification. The state port faciitiies and na tive fishing and shipbuilding in dustries here give the taste of the sea to Morehead's progress story. Roofing, chemicals and textiles add the color of traditionally inland Industries. Its tourist trade con tinues with unabated vigor. Plea sure fishing and sunny beaches at tract sea lovers the year around. Morehead and its companion community of Atlantic Beach acrOu Bogue Sound have known a year of unprecedented building and expansion. Pacing Atlantic Beach's growth are new concession buildings, new beach homes, a new fishing pier, a new municipal building and other lesser contrac tion projects. Only a month ago CP&L crews changed out a feeder line to the beach from the old Morehead sub itation, twitching to the company'a new substation on the outskirts of town. This new distribution link lives the beach resort more power capacity on which to grow. M Conventions in list Morehead City is well established M a convention center in the Cirollnas, and Its refurbished Morehead Blltmore Hotel is a popular convention headquarters Twenty-six conventions ar? on tap for Morehead In 19S8? many more are expected next yea t. To serve conventloners and per manent residents alike seven new stores have gone up in the past year; five of them are now in op eration. Eating places are expand ing to accommodate the throngs. Morehead's streets have been widened to take the flow of traffic, fort Macon State Park offers new facilities. Assisting Morehead's progress is electric power. Its most modern aspect Is the heat pump, already Installed in several homes, com mercial and professional buildings to give year-round cooling and heating through the basic elements of air, water and electricity. Mod ern street lights "dress up" the community. Power Usage lip All classes of CP&L customers in the Morehead area are using more electricity than ever before according to George Stovall, local CP&L manager; in fact, they are well ahead of the company's sys tem average, which stands 43 per cent above the national norm The domestic customer is still the leader in total power usage, Mr. Stovall says, and in the More head City area uses an average of 4,812 kilowatt-hours per year, compared to the CP&L system average of 4,539. The residential customers served by the Morehead office of CP&L used 1,680,024 kilo watt-hours of power in April alone ?an increase of 216,320 kwh over April a year ago. Rural growth has continued too, and customers in the rural home and on the farm average 3,514 kilowatt-hours of power per year; commercial customers 11,988; and industries 244,412 kilowatt - hours per year. All commercial and industrial establishments have shown gains over last year in power usage ? proof that they have weathered the so-called recession. Morehead City's economic growth, and its 53 years of electric, service, is one of the highlights in the history of Carolina Power & Light Co., which notes its 50th an niversary this year. "CP&L's attention will continue to focus on the area," says Mr. Stovall, "because the years to come are the most promising years of all." He added that with the improved port facilities, plus the other na tural industrial advantages that the community enjoys, the More head City area is expected to show continued prosperity. "CP&L plans to continue its ex pansion of facilities to meet the power needs," he added. "The two new generating plants? Sutton and Goldsboro ? are evidence of the company's concern for better ser vice to the area." Mr. Stovall de scribed the new transmission line from Sutton to Jacksonville-More head as "just another chapter in the progress story." Oiling the Wheels Of Progress . . . ,!. * \f ? r;- f' * . ?
