Section C VOLUME LXXVIIl-i NO. 37 BOONE, WATAUGA COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY. MARCH 10, 1966 PRICE TEN CENTS Blowing Rock March Of Dimes Sets Record The annuel Blowing Rock March of Dimes drive has netted one of the largest amounts ever collected, according to this year’s chairman, Mrs. Howard Hnlshouser. A breakdown of collections and contributions shows: Mo thers’ March, $247.24; dona tions from clubs and individ uals, $127.50; Blowing Bode School, $69; coin containers, $10.20, bringing the total amount to $453.94. The drive is usually held dur ing the month of January but, due to extremely hazardous weather conditions, the drive was extended into February. Since weather hampered a personal appeal to everyone, those who were not reached may still mail contributions to Mrs. Holsfaouser or leave them with Mrs. Jake Jones at the Northwestern Bank. School Bus Is Damaged Sometime Sunday, between 9 a. m. and 4:30 p. m., side and back windows and windshield of a Watauga County School bus parked at Parkway School were broken out with a blunt instru ment.

(Staff photos) C Of C Travel, Farm, School Groups Talk The travel, agriculture and education divisions of the Boone Chamber of Commerce were discussed by Chamber di rectors at their monthljFqmefe' ing Tuesday. Hal Johnson, re presenting industry, was unable to attend. L. E. Tuckwiller, County Ex tension Agent, told the direc tors he had not formed an agri culture division yet, because weather had been inclement and he could not contact many of the persons on his list. He advised them, however, that he would begin organizing his di vision shortly and would report when called upon. Randy Phillips, travel divi sion-chairman, reported that'he felt the local Motel Association has had fine co-operation in Working with the Chamber of Commerce and suggested that the Association might serve the needs of a travel division. He estimated that 90 per cent of the Association’s members hold Chamber memberships. Stanley Harris Sr. asked Phillips whether he thought the Association, or the travel divi sion, might take in gas stations. Phillips said the Association could take in filling stations and restaurants as associate members, and that the by-laws permit this. Phillips said one restaurant is already a member of the Association. Col. Clyde Miller, president of the Chamber, suggested that Phillips work with service sta tion owner Joe Idol, if service stations show interest in the project. Representing the newly de signed education division, Dr Lee Reynolds of ASTC report ed that he feels there is a pos sible need to bring the hlgii school people into the Cham ber’s educational activities. H< further stated that the feelini of some college people is thal an educational division in theii behalf might not be as valuable as the public relations correla tion of the public schools with the Chamber.

Boone. N,C. N. C National Bank Gains In U. S. Standings First National Bank of East ern North Carolina gained 206 points in the standing of the Eleventh Hundred Largest Banks in the United States in 1965 according to a survey re ported by the American Banker released this week. The survey revealed First National as being 1012th place. M. F. Allen, Jr., bank presi dent, pointed out that 1965 was a banner year in the bank’s 1J years history as it passed the 4( million dollar mark in resourc es. First National, with head quarters in Jacksonville, North REA Cooperative Reports Record Use Of Services f Blue Ridge Electric Member ship Corporation has experi enced the largest usage of elec trical power by its member-con sumers in the history of the co operative during the month of February. The highest system demand was in January, and the largest number of kiloiwatt hours used was in February. Id January of this year, wholesale power purchased was 15.57 per cent over Janu ary of 1965, and February was 26.47 per cent above the same month a year ago. February’s kilowatt hour sales to mem bers were running 3,613,450 kilowatt hours, or 24.7 per cent above last February. Revenues are running 16.82 per cent above last February. The abnormal use is 8.8 per cent above estimated projec tions of usage for this period. The increase will be reflected over some 60-day period in the bills to consumer-members. This jump in usage is re flected in every classification of accounts, with the smallest change being in schools and churches which were closed part of the month due to wea ther conditions, and the great est increase In industrial and other large power accounts. The prolonged periods of cold weather since the first of the Carolina, now has twenty offic es, including the recently merg ed Boone, North Carolina, faci lity. year are the cause of part of this increased usage. Industrial loads have increased and addi tional off-farm jobs have de veloped. Appliance purchases, supplementary heating, new home construction, residential and commercial heating, and many other factors have con tributed to this increase. 'j V Officials of Blue Bidge Elec trie are optimistic about the growth and development of the cooperative and the are* it serves, and are constantly work ing to keep abreast of the de mands for low cost, dependable service.
