Dr. Border, Director State Animal Disease Laboratory Near Asheville Airport Now Open ■ Dr. T. B. Ryan, director of >)( disease diagnostic laboratories for the N. C. Department of Agriculture has announced the opening of the new Western Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory. The facility, which was erected with state and local matching funds from fourteen western counties, is located on the gronhds of the WNC Agriculture Center, adjacent to the Asheville Airport. Dr. C. R. Border, who was in charge of the state’s former poultry laboratory in Waynesville is director of the new animal disease facility. He is assisted by Dr. George Hun nicutt. The lab will be staffed by uiree veterinarians ana a support staff of technicians. "This is a full service , laboratory and will take all species, including cattle, horses, i swine, chickens and even pets,” ; Dr. Rayan said. However, he said the laboratory is primarily for the diagnosis of diseases in food animals. "We do not treat animals,” said Dr. Border. “Our job is to perform a diagnosis and deter mine the disease or disease that caused death. It is better if animals are referred by prac- , ticing veterinarians. However, we accept from farmers and wners. Dr. Border stressed that inimals must be brought to the aboratory immediately after leath. Diagnosis cannot be reformed on decomposed inimals and these will not be | iccepted, he stated. i i He said there will be no fee for 1 nost of the services provided at '• he lab. However, there will be a I charge for blood tests of chickens 1 ind certain special tests. Efforts to secure the regional 1 [aboratory were launched five ('ears ago by the beef and dairy :ommissions of the Western • 'forth Caorolina Development \ssociation.

So why are you building a huge new coal buming plant near Winston-Salem? Ain the late 1960s, we had to decide whether to design the Belews Creek Steam Station, near Winston-Salem, as a coal-fired or nuclear power plant. At that time, coal pnces were much lower. From the cost standpoint, the choice of fuels was a tossup. The deciding factor was timing —it takes about two years longer to build a nuclear plant. The only way to complete the new plant by the time its output would be needed was to make it coal-burning. QLast weekend at Lake Norman, I caught a bass with a yellow tag in its back. What does the tag mean? A Frankly, we’re surprised you caught one so soon. Our fisheries biologists are now tagging different kinds of fish in Lake Norman as part of a continuing study of power plant effects on fish and other aquatic life. Tag collection stations will soon be located at each of the Duke Power access areas at the lake, so that fishermen can leave the tags in special envelopes. In the meantime, if you catch a tagged fish in Lake Norman, mail the tag to: Duke Power Company Environmental Laboratory Route 3, Box 90 Huntersville, IN .V^. Z5U/8 Please tell us the date d the fish was caught, where r you caught it, its length L and weight and any * unusual physical con ditions. Include your name and address, so we can send you a package of plastic worms to thank you for your help. QuuKe rower nas a lower rare ior customers with electric water heaters. Why don't you have a lower rate for people with air conditioners, too? A One of the biggest expenses in pro viding your electric service is the tremendous cost of building the generating plants and transmission and dis tribution systems. These costs can be recovered at a lower unit cost for electricity if the facilities are operated (and producing revenues) on a constant basis. Water heaters, of course, operate at an almost steady rate year-around. Air conditioners, on the other hand, operate only during the warmest months of the year. Qlf Duke Power loses money through the operation of Crescent Land and Timber Corporation (a Duke Power subsidiary), do you make up the loss by charging more for electricity? A No. The financial affairs of Crescent Land and Timber Corporation are entirely separate from those of Duke Power. Its profit or loss has absolutely no effect on Duke Power’s electric rates. Q Since electric rates have to be in creased to cover the higher cost of fuel and the tremendous construction costs of steam-electric plants, why doesn't Duke Power build more hydroelectric stations? A Hydroelectric dams look impressive, but the amount of electricity they produce is rather small in relation to our demand. Although we’ve already harnessed most of the available water power in the Piedmont Carolinas, our hydro plants account for less than ten per cent of our total generating capacity. Even if power dams were built on all the remaining large streams in our area, their combined output would only equal our ex pected demand growth for one year. It’s not enough. The only way we can keep up with demand for the power is by building more steam-electric stations. How can I read my own electric meter? Alt’s really quite easy. Our little booklet, “Your Electric Meter: The Story in a Nutshell,” tells how. Ask for a free copy at your local Duke Power office. Do you have a question about Duke Power or your electric service? We’ll be pleased to answer it. Just call your local Duke Power off ice...or write to Duke Power, Public Information, P.O. Box 2178, Charlotte, N.C. 28242.
