BLACKOUT FOR TRYON
SUNDAY MORNING
The electricity will be cut off
in Tryon Sunday morning at 6 and
last for several hours while neces
sary changes are taking place to
increase the capacity of the local
system of the Duke Power Co.
Manager Jim Sloan of the Hen
dersonville district and Manager
K. A. Bowen of the Tryon district
have been making preparations
for the change for the past four
months in order to avoid a longer
period without electricity. Sunday
morning was selected as the time
that would cause the least incon
venience to the greatest- number
of customers, especially for those
who have to work in offices, mills
and farms.
The management realizes that
it will cause some inconvenience
to some people and every effort
is being made through the press to
notify consumers in time to make
preparations for the time when
electricity will be off probably
between 6 and 9 a. m., Sunday
morning.
Umcials state that 12 crews of
men numbering between 40 and
50 will begin work of changing
the lines promptly at 6 o’clock
in order to restore power as quick
ly as possible. The electricity will
come on in sections and those con
sumers closest to the main line
will get the power first as the
workmen complete each unit.
Officials state that unless some
unforseen complications arises ser
vice will be restored completely
in time for the church services.
Those who must eat before 9
o’clock and desire a hot breakfast
may cook their meal the night be
fore and put in thermos jug and
thermos bottle, especially coffee.
