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, | as a result of CCC training in I first aid and in such specialized | skills as truck and tractor drivI ing and telephone maintenance, I able in a short time to handle the mechanized equipment of modern warfare.

[ HE STATE PORT PILOT, i 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 (Continued from page 1) 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.
