This is not tTUe of the North Carolina beer in
dustry's progTam to improve conditions in retail
outlets.
' . - y ?;
Prosecuted with diligent effort since its launching
in May, 1939, our Committee's "clean up or
close up ' ' campaign in North Carolina has won
the praise and support of law enforcement of
ficers, the press and public. During the past 2 I
months the state's beer industry has proved its
sincerity of purpose by a consistent record of
direct action and results.
The record: 1,537 retail beer outlets investi
gated; 203 warrted fbjmprove conditions We
reported 176 to the authorities for action; as a
result 121 licertses were revoked, 10 plac?d on
probation, 2. surrendered their licenses, and 25
license renewals were refused. ?,
We promise there will be no let-up in our efforts

"I BUY EVERYTHING FROM HOME FOLKS "
J "WARM WEATHER is an alarm clock to grain. Oats, wheat, rye and *
barley wake up hungry and rarin' to grow. They need plenty of Nitrogen.
That's why I top-dress early ? before growth starts ? with Arcadian,
The American Nitrate of Soda, applying up to 200 pounds per acre.
Arcadian thickens the stand and helps plants to stool out better and
send up more stalks loaded with bigger yields of better quality grain.
"I always buy Arcadian. There is no better Soda. And Arcadian is
made by homefolks here in the South. I want Southern Industry to
grow. And I want my grain to grow too. Give me Arcadian, with Uncle |
Sam on the beg!"

TOWN BOARD"
Mr. McPher
sou, Mr. Lyman
and ? Mr. Rey
nolds, Indus
trial engineers
and representa
tives of the
Carolina I'ower
and Light Coin- j
pany were pre
sent at t h e j
meeting last
Friday night ol ? im
Mie town board. Shelton
It hag been
proposed by these gentleman and
the utility company they repre
sent. that Louisburg buy ii"'s"elec- |
trie current from them at a price
approximating one and one-third
rents pisr WHowaet hour-,- ?t the
switchboard. No decision has as
yet been made by our capable
commissioners but an answer
must be rendered soon.
For Boiuellme now ths commis
sioners Ijdve been facing. the fact
that> Louisburg is using more and
more current every year and the
continuous problem of power gen
orating ability to meet this in
creasing demand is forever on
their doorsteps. Some lime ago the
board purchased a new deisel,
bringing the total number of en
gines to four. At that time it
was believed t>he power generating
capacity of the municipal plant
would take care of the electric
needs of this town for many years
to come. That, however. was
many mont>hs ago '
Statistics are generally ntther
boresoine, but you citizens who
are mindful Ol the future welfare
of your town heed these ligures
well. In 1 9 5 t'he municipal po
wer plant generated 837,000 killi
wa.ttu; 1936 ? 928.800 kw.; 1937
? 1,037.600 kw.; ' 1938? 1.123,
.">00 kw.; 1939 ? 1, "18. 000 kw.
These figures prove one point in
part icular ? thai the eurrent eon
sumption of the town is rising by
an average of olte hundred thous
and killowatt hours per year. This
steady increase in consumed cur
rent again brings to the boards
threshold the threat that t lie
nlant will be nnnblp to meet the
lutnre requirements of the town
'.vithoul additional purchases of
expeu^ive_illeacl^electrlc genera I -
ing equipment.
For our current consumption
today the municipal plant is ade
luate. Tomorrow brings anoth
er story. If an industrial plant
should ever desire to locate here
the town wonitl. have to tell them.
"Sorry, gentlemen, but we caituot
supply you wltli current-.' If the
contracts are signed with C. P.
& L. no such problem would ever
arise. The supply el available
power would be unlimited.
Forget, for awhile, the even
tuality of an industrial plant- lo
cating here and coiisidei the needs
of the town itself. Here again
the future proposes l-he problem
of supplying the demand. Note
the statistics again and you will
find the starMing fact .that, "that
is the present increasing demand
for current keeps pace with the
last five years, in two and one- 1
half to tihree yearS^the demand j
for electricity will have DOU- 1
RLED over the requirements in 1
1935." Note again that general- !
ed klllowato hours in 1940 exceed- 1
ed 1939 by 160,000! The great-:
est increase of any year.
Through efficient management, j
and through a close and accurate
accounting system the switch
board cost of generating power
has dropped from 1.38 per kw In
1936 to 0:8$ in 1940. That how
ever is only the switchboard cost.
The delivered cosl< brings out an
other interesting fact when this
cost is 2.48. Where does the dif
ference in switchboard and deliv
ered cost lie? The answer to
tihis is, the purchase and installa
tion of generating equipment and
the maintenance of delivery lines.
Here again the eternal problem

rears, it's ugly head While the j
town can generate current cheap
er than it can buy electricity Irom
the, utility. It cannot continue to
l)\iy Bnglnt'B and to
meet the increasing demand with
out) paying a sum nearly twice
that asked by the utility for each
klllowatt hour.
Mr. McPherson. Mr. I.yiiun and
Mr. Reynolds have prepared a re
port . nil the local nlant wil.li. u '
view of discontinuing it's use
when current is purchased whole- |
sale from the utility company. If ?
the local plant* were closed it was
proposed that the two small die- I
Bel be kept for emergency or
standby duty. Tin- two larger mi
gines could be readily sold, "as
with t'ho boom in defense, diesel
elertric generating quipment 1h in i
great demand. Comes now. n n
other problem to harass our al
ready over-harassed commission- ;
ers. The power plant represents
un. investment' nf about $50,00?; ;
!f current were bought from tile
P. & L. then only about 50%
it that investment could be sal
vaged and two or possibly three
men would be out of jobs. In re- ;
buttiU-tw this the utility men agree -
To? XTyTOTStf T7Ie~Iovvn engines
and offer a Job to one of the men
'now employed at the power plant.
If current were purchased the
saving in fuel oil nlt>ttr> would be
a considerable sum as the plant
u?es approximately 128.001) gal
lons per year.

Another1 point to be considered is
(?hat the town would have to pur
chase all electricity it uses its-elf
in pumping water, lighting streets*

proposition looks very good, but
regardless of ihe green In that

studied before a decision can be
