Carolinians On Puerto Rico > . AATF HQ, Puerto Rico, May y"' 31. ? Fond recollections of thei Old North State were brought to I the Tarheels now in service withj the Antilles Air Task Force dur ing a recent "48-Gun Salute" radio broadcast from San Juan. The program featuring North Carolina was one in a weekly ?eri^i of Air Corps programs which derives its name from the military custom of firing one gun for each state in the Union on Independence Day. Soldier talent wag recruited from the West Indies bases to present humorous skits and sing such favorite tunes as "Hark the Sound of Tarheel Voices." Nostalgic memories of familiar scenes and events were awaken ed as the airmen an imaginary trip from Cape Hatteras to the Blue Ridge mountains. At the same time tribute was paid to the present war production of the state and the notable contribu tions of the past and present to the common good. Appearing on the program were T*Sgt| William H. Warren, of Dunn; PFC Hugh Corzine, of Raleigh; Cpl Robert Page of Mount Olive, and Cpl Bill Raglan of Winston-Salem. These Tarheels and other mem bers of the AATF are stationed at bases dotting palm-fringed is lands or hewn from the green maze of tropical jungle along the crescent-shaped string extending from the western tip of Cuba to the sweltering equatorial belt of South America. Planes fly daily missions over this life line of the three Ameri cas in constant search for Axis submarines. Their bailiwick cov ers an area about fifty ti?es the size of the state of North Caro lina. During their imaginary fur lough back home the soldiers visited Kitty Hawk, where the Wright brothers 40 years ago started the Air Corps without realizing it; Roanoke Island, birthplace of Virginia Dare, and took in the entire state from Cur rituck to Southport along the coast and westward to the moun tains. Other localities mentioned were Forsyth county and the rest of the tobacco country. Reidsville, Durham, Winston-Salem, Rocky Mount, Mount Airy, Morgantown, North Wilksboro. Greensboro and Chapel Hill and Majestic Mount Mitchell. School songs were played as the soldiers returned to the cam puses and recordings by Kay Kyser and Sliinnay Ennis, also natives of the state, livened the program. Pete McKnight, former radio editor of the Charlotte News and now city editor of the San Juan World Journal, des cribed the state's war production Tecord and contributions of her fighting men. ^ Other towns mentioned during the broadcast included Salisbury, Wilmington, Boone, High Point, Kannapolis, Albemarle, Gastonia, Whiteville, Kernersville, Hamlet, Kinston, Silver Hill, Newbern, Pinehurst, Goldsboro and Fayet te ville. Transcriptions of the broadcast are expected to be sent to other army bases throughout the world for rebroadcast. FUNERAL RITES FOR BABY On June the fourth the Death Angel came in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Otha Gilliam and took away their darling little baby girl, Maggie Pearl, to go live with the Great Creator who gave it. She was with us only four months, yet she filled a place of joy and pleasure in our hearts which has been taken. Every thing that physicians, relatives and friends could do was done in the three days of her illness. Our grief is hard to bear; but our loss is her gain. Today she is a beautiful little Angel in Heaven, where there will be no more sickness, and no heart aches and sorrow for her to ever experience. Heaven has been made brighter by her going. If It had been our will we would have kept her; but God in His infinite wisdom knew best and was ready to claim her as his own. She leaves her father and moth er, one sister and one brother. Also her paternal grand parents and maternal grandmothers. ' The funeral was conducted at the home of Mr. S. K. Gilliam by Rev. Rex Campbell. The body was placed in the cemetery at Saints Delight. The floral tri bute was very pretty. The bereaved family haB the sympathy of the entire commu nity. ? A FRIEND. o ST.

You .and your kind deeds will be long and tenderly remembered. May God help you, and I pray that some day you may be rewarded. MRS. ANNIE MURPHY. You Don't Have to Stand in Line t r? To Buy UiCTRIC POWER THAT'S TRUE, even though the electric light and power industry in America wa? called on to produce, in 1942, the greatest amount of electric power in history? 189 billion kilowatt-hour?l And at tit imm torn tbi cost pir kilowatt-bour to tbt consunur uuu Uu/tr than iw ht/ufi ' Not only weft all the iIhi?iii1i of war plants, military camp*, naval station*, and arsenal* met Am remained 27 billion kilowatt-hour* of electrical energy to takt care of the nyk of itype and (tores, 30 billion for homes, 13 billion for public trans portation, sttMt lighting, aad other uses. These are jomt of the accomplishments of the electric light and power industry and of the electrical manufacturer* who build the equipment used to generate, distribute, and utilize tkctri?l?y? -working together with the teamwork so typically American. How Wt Htlped POWER GENERATION; More than one half of all the electric power generated by electric light and power companies in the U. S. is pro duced by generators manufactured by General Electric. And such has been the improvement in the efficiencies of turbine-driven generators that if the electric power used in 1942 had been pro duced with the machines of 1924, it would have required more than a million extra cars of coal ' and one hundred and forty thousand men just to mine and haul this extra coal. POWER DISTRIBUTION. To have ample power available wherever new war plants have sprung up requires large and highly efficient transforming and twitching equipment and the solution of highly intricate engineering prob lems. General Electric has had a hand, and a head, in the development and manufacture of much of this equipment. POWER UTILIZATION. Building ma chines, lamps, and appliances that put elec tricity to work more efficiently in factories and homes is one of our most important jobs. The United Stares has more of these electrical helpers than ?any other nation. In 1942, the average home used twice as much electricity as * in 1930, and in those 12 years the average pricc per kilowatt-hour decreased 40%. ? ? ? This is only a small part of the story of America's elec trical industry. When the full story becomes history with the passing of the years, it will reveal a group of men who, with a determination which now seems providential, kept on? co-operatively developing new and better equipment, increas ing generating capacity, lowering costs, expanding service, planning always to be ready for the demands of the future. It will be a story of remarkable vision and courage ? for it all had to be planned, and the work started, years ahead of the need. The next time you meet a man from your electric service company, be he the local manager, or meter reader, or spurred lineman carrying out his assignment in rain, sleet, or heavy winds, give him a word of encouragement? for he is the man who is making it unnecessary for you to stand in line for electric power.
