KEA haa helped make electricHy available to 177,189 consumers ov er HKA-flnanced line* in rural areas of North Carolina. The V. 8. Deportment of Agri culture reports that M.t percent of Tar Heel farms have electric service today, compared with only 3.2 per cent in 1*35, the year REA was established Weaver emphasizes that to get the maximum benefit from electric service, farm families should make sure their electric appliances are in good repair and they" are using them to best advantage. Proper care helps avoid big repair bills and helps assure that the equip ment won't break down when it is needed most. It is also important that farm homes and buildings are adequately wired to carry the load needed to operate all the farm equipment needed. ''Overloaded wires result in poor equipment performance, wasted power, higher electric bills, and blown-out fuses, besides creating a hazard," Weaver said. Recent reports from REA show that from the beginning of its pro gram up to January 1, 1955, REA had lent *97,288,843 to 33 corpera tives and five other borrowers in North Carolina for building elec tric facilities. When all the con struction authorized in these loans is completed, the facilities will provide electric service to an esti mated 190,290 consumers. P^AYS with matches Arlington, Vs.?
