Membership Corporation has
announced the connection of the
1000th electrically heated home
on the cooperative’s lines. The
home is the Alieghany-Grayson
parsonage at Sparta in Alleghany
County.
The Reverend and Mrs.Shir
ley T. Jones have been present
ed with a certificate, recogniz-.
ing the home as the 1,000th
electrically heated home on the
cooperative’s system, by James
Allen, Jr., District Manager.
The certificate, which carries
the corporate seal of the co
operative states that, "Blue

award to the Alleghany-Grayson
Charge Parsonage in recog
nition of its being the one
thousandth electrically heated

Electric Membership Corpora
tion.”
In addition to the home’s
being the 1000th home in the
area to use electricity as the
sole source of energy for light,
heat and power, it has also re
ceived the Gold Medallion A
ward. The Gold Medallion Home
program is a national recogni
tion program carried on
throughout the electrical in
dustry for homes meeting stan
dards of electrical excellence.
Blue Ridge Electric’s heat
ing program began to take shape
in the late 1950’s and at the end
cf 1960 approximately 12 5 homes
were electrically heated. By the
end of 1965 there were 695
homes which were heated
electrically, and in 1967another
192 homes, either new or re
modeled, began using electricity
as their heating source on the
cooperative’s lines.
Viverette stated that the di
rectors, management and staff
of the cooperative are proud
to have reached this milestone
in their operation, and cor^rat
ulate the Reverend and Mrs.
Jones and the building com
mittee of the churches for re
ceiving this honor.
Broyhill Asks Mobilization
To Combat Juvenile Crime
Congressman James T. Broy
hill urged mobilization of re
sources at community levels to
combat the problem of juvenile
crime in a speech today to the
Gastonia Optimist Club.
The North Carolina Con
gressman declared that greater
opportunity for self-improve
ment ought to be made avail
able locally, “not by a hand-out
from Washington, but by local
initiative combining resources
of schools, Federal programs,
civic organizations, and pri
vate industry and commerce/’
“These things/’ Broyhill de
clared, “should not be bogged
down in visionary dreams that
a hard-core problem will dis
appear as soon as it is faced.
Still, there is, I am sure, a
large territory in the realm of
the possible that has not been
explored/’
Broyhill criticized the sys
tem of public welfare which he
said is regressive and often de
stroys the initiative for people
to obtain skills they need to
depend upon themselves. Na
tional and local emphasis, he
said, should be on programs that
will help welfare recipients,
wherever possible, to find em
ployment so that they can be
come self-supporting and pro
ductive members of society.
The Congressman praised the
activities of such civic organi
zations as Optimist Inter
national which assist young peo
ple. “Among the issues facing
the nation/’ Congressman
Broyhill declared, “none has a
higher priority than attention
to the needs of our young peo
ple.” Summarizing the work
of the civic organization, he
explained, “Here again, we see
the pattern that we know so
well in America—busy people
coming together to work hard
to do a job that needs doing—
to fill a vacuum, to stake out a
project that will help others.
This is surely one of the fin
est attributes we Americans
have. And it just as surely
/comes (fropi the fact that we
j know in this country* that We
must do things for ourselves.
We cannot wait for others to
tell us what our problems are.
We know, too, that there never
was a time when Americans
were not challenged with prob
lems, although I must admit
there have been times when
things were a little more calm
than they are today
Defensive Tactics
The Accused—There's the
lawyer we stuck up. It’s all up
with us. He’s going to testify
against us.
His Accomplice—Not this
time, he won’t. I’ve hired him
to defend us.
Lifetime Savings
. Jackson—“Did you hear the
one about the traveling sales
man’s estate?”
Jimson—“Spring it.”
Jackson—“He left500towels,
200 cakes of soap, three dozen
plated spoons and eleven pounds
of hotel door keys.”

How Many Phones Will Rina In '01?
Old timers in Western North
Carolina have a “neck of the
woods” with which they are in
timately familiar. Southern
Bell’s Forecast Supervisor,
R. A. (Bob) Friedlander of Ashe
ville has a whopping big 2800
square mile territory over
which to roam and make tele
phone growth forecasts.
Working together with local
manager B. B. Leazer and his
telephone coordinates, Fried
lander has the challenging job
of forecasting the “how much”
“when” and “where” new tele
phone lines and numbers will
be needed. The need is pro
jected for the short range and
for longer economical intervals
through 1991.
Leazer states that telephone
engineers would find their jobs
less challenging if they had
an unlimited budget to spend
for the outside plant network of
wires and cables which cover
the community reaching out
from the local switching office.
Since an unlimited budget is not
economically possible, the fore
caster must project growth
rates throughout the district so
that the engineers can get the
most for the dollar with Southern
Bell’s capital expansion dollars,
which amount to $6.2 million
in 1968 in the western district
or 1.5 million in the Lenoir,
Boone, Blowing Rock area. Pre
cise growth forecasts are vital
in the battle to hold subscriber
costs down by thrifty use of the
annual expansion budget.
Friedlander’s main objective
is to forecast the area growth
so that the telephone lines are
there when they are needed.
Economical operation dictates
not putting cable in place be
fore it is needed. Local in
terdepartmental coordination is
a must to keep the “needed
dates” and the “inplace” dates
close together.
In addition to driving the ter
ritory for a first hand know
ledge of household and busi
ness growth, Friedlander con
fers with builders, developers,
and city planners to keep in
close touch with the short and
long range community growth.
What are some of Friedlan
der’s futuristic findings? By
1991 Southern Bell’s western
district will double its 150,000
telephones now in service.
Usage of individual phones will
probably triple as the need to
communicate becomes strong
er.
