Rural Users To
Accept Tidewater
Rate Proposal
Users Of The Tidewater
Service Outside New
Hanover County Accept
Rate Reduction Proposal
The Electric Rate Adjustment'
Commission, representing 35 Eastern
North Carolina towns, has accepted
proposed residential electric
rate reductions offered by the
Tidewater Power Company.
Stanley Winborne, chairman of
the State Utilities Commission,!
who announced the acceptance,
said that the City of Wilmington'
and New Hanover County had not
yet accepted the Tidewater offer!
; for 'their area, but that local officials
of the two governments pro-j
mised a resolution explaining their |
positions. I
The resolution, promised for
yesterday, had not arrived when]
the Utilities Commission closed
for the day.
Winborne said the reduced rates)
would save the area outside New
Hanover County, known as the
"Transmission Territory," ap-.
proximately $28,500 per year.
The rate are reduced from the
| top down, Winborne said. In oth
I er woras, ne expieuiicu, wnoumua
who use more power get a greater
reduction.
The following shows a comparison
of the new and the old rates: |
Killowatt hours, 25; old rate,
51.73; new rate, $1.67.
Killowatt hours, 00; old rate,
$3.21; new rate, $2.97.
Killowatt hours, 100; old rate,
$5.14; new rate, $4.53; killowatt
: 200; old rate, $7.89; new rate,
$7.13.
| Killowatt hours, 300; old rate,
i $10.14; new rate, $9.13.
These rates, Winborne said, are
below the national average for
urban areas, and are just, considering
the small amount of power
used by customers of the Tidewater.
Winborne said also that the rate
prepared for Wilmington and New
Hanover County is lower than in
most urban areas in the United
States.
He presented the following figures
to compare the new Tidewater
rates with those of other
sections:
Killowatt hours, 25; national
average, 51.53; proposed Tidewater
rate, $1.43.
Killowatt hours. 50: national
average (not available); proposed
Tidewater rate, $2.63.
Killowatt hours, 100; national
average, $4.22; proposed Tidewater
rate, $4.11.
SUMMER HUNTERS
HAVE GOOD SPORT
(Continued from page 1)
In addition to the six foxes that
were tailed, it is thought that
the hounds finished off about
that many more deep in swamps.
The hounds were owned by
Wernns Steed and Crawford Gardner,
who brought them down
along with several friends. The
party is said to be preparing for
a bigger and longer hunt here in
the fall. Dr. J. V. Davis, Shallotte
dentist, former resident of Concord
and a great lover of fox
chasing, says that these hunts
by the Randolph boys was productive
of some of the best races
held In Brunswick county.

CCC ENDS WITH
MUCH WORK DONE
(Continued From Page One)
16,000 pounds of hardwood seeds
were collected. Nursery operation
Over 3,500 acres of donuded lands
utilized 82,000 man-days of work,
were planted to make future forests
and timber stand improvement
work was d'one on 204,000
acres. 71 fish roaring ponds were
built, and streams and lakes
stocked with over 658,000 fish.
Perhaps the greatest benefit
rendered by the CCC in North
Carolina was to the boys, largelj
recruited within the State, whc
lived and worked in the camps.
They learned useful trades and
habits of industry and self-reliance
and developed strong and
healthy bodies. Army officers find
ex-CCC boys who enter the armed
forces to be in much better
than average physical trim and,

ians should strive, a voluntary
campaign was organized at once
to achieve the goal in the Company.
President James E. Warren, of
the Southern Bell, through local
officials, has presented awards of
J achievement to all the depart!
ments involved.
Speaking of the goal being
achieved here and in the Company
as a whole, Mr. Bryan said
"Telephone employees quick response
is indicative of their determination
to back up with their
full support the financial program
and all other war programs
to help America fight to survive
and win this war."

Georgia Market Opens
With High Prices Paid

piles for 40 cents," they reported.
"But for all practical purI
poses, the company top was 37 or
38 cents."
The local delegates did not say
so in so many words, but all indications
are that the trend this
year is toward holding down the
price on the top grades and paying
more for the bottom and
medium qualities.
"We saw one floor with 190
piles," said a spokesman for the
group, "and only 18 of them sold
for under 30 cents.
"And don't let anybody tell you
that Georgia hasn't got a good
crop this year," he added. "I saw
one floor of the prettiest smoking
tobacco I've ever seen in my
life in Douglas. And the whole
crop, taken by and large, looks
just about as good as ours."
One of the local representatives
was asked how the Georgia
farmers felt about the prices.
"Some of them seemed to feel
that they should get more for
their top grades," he reported,
"But they were well pleased with
their* average on all grades. And
I believe that's the same way our
growers are going to feel."
Encouraged by the good news
'from Georgia, the growers in
this section pushed the work oi
curing this week, and indications
were that 90 per cent of the
crop would be ready for market
by the opening next week.
Most of them are already getting
to the tips, it was reported,
A few have already finished. Only
a small minority is late.
The tobacco up the stalk is
somewhat heavier, due to the
rain, according to the best information
obtainable. However
the lugs and primings turned oul
to be of particularly fine coloi
and quality, and the crop taker
as a whole should be -a good one
The local tobacconists were also
busy today, putting their houses
in order to receive the golder
weed, and making every provisior
for the comfort, convenience, anc
pleasure of the growers. f
The merchants have been buying
and putting out big, extrc
stocks of the latest items covering
every need of the grower.
The vanguard of the buyers is
expected to start coming ir
Thursday or Friday, and everything
is due to be in readiness tc
start taking in tobacco this week
end and to open the sales season
the following Thursday.
