VEPCO WINNER OF NATIONAL AWARD Rentier Greatest Aid In Rural Electrification In The United States The Virginia Electric and Power Company has won the Martin a ward for showing the greatest contribution to the advancement of rural electrification in the United States in 1933, Jack G. Holtzclaw, president of the company, announc ed today. This national prize, made thru the Edison Electric Institute, was awarded to the local company last night at the closing session of the convention of the Edison Electric Institute in Atlantic City and re ceived by Mr. Holtzclaw. “Winning the national award is a distinct compliment to the out standing work of the young agri cultural engineers of the com pany’s rural electrification bu reau and a recognition of the board and effective policy followed by the company in its efforts to car ry electric service to the farms of Virginia in the territory we serve,” Mr. Holtzclaw said. The brief submitted by the Vir ginia Electric and Power Company shows the company is today oper ating a total of 1,580 miles of rural extensions made at a cost of $2,364,000 and these lines arc serving 12,341 farm and rural cus tomers at the same rates as pre vail in the more populous city centers. Rates Much Reduced It shows that where the com pany’s farm customers paid an average rate of 6.63 cents per kwh. in 1029, by rate reductions from time to time, the inaugura tion of promotional rates and the later application of city rates to rural sections, the same customers are now paying an average rate of 3.83 cents per kwh., represent ing a decrease in the unit rate of 42 per cent. The company’s brief contains 110 pages of text, charts and pho tographic evidence prepared by the agricultural engineers of the rural electrification bureau. It covers a period of five years of rural electrification in Virginia, going back to the spring of 1929, when Governor Harry P. Byrd called a conference of farmers, utility companies, the V. P. I. ex tension division and others to for mulate plans to give the farmers electric power and its conveni ences. In co-operation with the state wide plans for promoting rural electrification, the Virginia Elec trci and Power Company maintains a staff of five agricultural engi neers, native Virginians gbd V. P. I. graduates with a farmmg back ground. Their duties are to assist the farmer in solving his problems re gardless of whether he is a cus tomer of the company or a non user, help promote the welfare of the community and of agriculture, and acquaint the farmer with the services and policies of the com pany. Their aid includes every thing from planning a poultry house, laying a cement floor in a cow barn or treating diseases in cows. They maintain close contact with the V. P. I. extension division and are located in the company’s division headquarters. The company’s brief shows many uses now being made of electricity on Virginia farms, in SUNDAY DINNER SUGGESTIONS By ANN PAGE ALTHOUGH summer has not of ficially arrived, she Is heralded by many foods which are true summer crops.
