TOWN CLOCK STARTED ON PAGE ONE Power Plant Weighty The new Lumberton plant rep resents a lot of steel, cement, and sheer weight.

A large number of lo cal girls served as models, as well as some out of town ladies, rep resenting the ten ladies’ shops which featured the most chic of their fall fashions. Among the at tractive outfits shown were dress suits, sport suits, cocktail dresses, sport dresses, coats, skirts and sweaters and evening gowns. Chil dren’s fashions were also present ed and were most popular. The stage was a most attractive . setting for the show with floor baskets of gladioli given by Mrs. W. L. Thrower of Laurinburg and many potted ferns. Furniture and a rug were used for the back ground from Hester-Kinlaw Fur niture Company. Commentator for the event was Charles Parrish of Presbyterian Junior College. Pianist was Mrs. J. B. McCallum, Jr., who accompanied the models’ promenades with most appropriate and enjoyable music. Fashions of yesteryear were modeled by Misses Ann McLeod, Betty Evans, Betty Snead, and Eleanor Britt under the direction of Mrs. R. A. McLeod. Two in fant christening gowns were also shown modeled by life-like baby dolls. This was a most interest ing feature of the fashion show and markadthe outstanding com parison between the fashions of .today and yesterday. Mrs. Guy Pulliam served as chairman for the fashion show and is deserving of much apprecia tion for the enthusiastic and ef ficient way in which she carried out her many duties. Assisting her were other ladies of the aux iliary too numerous to mention. costume, or so it seemed! Parading like, troupers were the models of the show in their good- looking outfits which were too many and varied to enumerate. Cooperating with the American Legion Auxiliary in participating in the fashion show were the fol- lowfcg shops: Maribel Shop, Es- sey’s and Carrowon’s, all of Max- ton; McNeill Shop, Belk’s, John F. McNair's and Sammie’s Louise Shop, all of Laurinburg; and Gra ham’s, Belk’s and B. C. Moore’s, all of Red Springs. This was the first fashion show to be presented in Maxton in about ten years. It was disappointing to note that the audience was not any too large for this unusual occasion, especially to those who spent many hours in making preparations for the show. How ever, the audience was most thusiastic and seemed to enjoy entire show. New Antique Shop Maxton antique fans will en- the be over-joyed to know that there is a new antique shop right in town. Mrs. M. A. Biles and Mrs. Bill Lit tlefield have opened a shop located in the servants quarters back of the Biles home. Katherine and Vir ginia should be most successful as they are antique collectors from ’way back and we wish them lots of luck.

The plant table—weighs around There’s almost underground as is located on a acre tract lying along the as there 1,000- river. The river channel itself underwent a change to supply the enormous quantity of. water needed for con densing spent steam back into water. A dam, its top only three feet below the surface of the nor mal level of the stream, guarantees a basin of condensing water, but all the water taken from the river is returned to it. How It Works How coal, water, machinery and ingenuity are. combined to pump electricity into the homes, stores and factories of the Carolinas will be graphically demonstrated at the opening of this new plant. Coal, brought over spurlines of two railways (950 tons per day at full load on two units) is carried by endless belts to a crusher. From here it goes to pulverizers, which reduce it to the consistency of tal cum powder, and it is then blown through six jets into the huge boilers, where it burns in suspen sion, much as gas or oil would do. The boilers are composed of miles of pipes of special alloy steel, surrounding this fire nine stories high. Heat-resist ant cement backs up the net. work of pipes, and behind it is still another maze of pipes through which water circu lates to all points of the boil er to keep the pipes next to the fire from burning up. Water, derived not from the river, but from deep wells nearby, of the furnace, ground to fine particles, and taken away in sluices to disposal grounds some distance from the plant. The steam is rushed to the tur- biznes and thrown against the cone-like flanges, which turn the turbines at a speed of 3600 revo lutions per minute, much as water turns a waterwheel, and this en ergy is transformed into electricity in the generator. It is at this point that the Lumber River enters the pic. ture. As the steam is released from its narrow confines, and hits the revolving metal wings of the turbine, it looses its force because of expansion. Presence of the spent steam in the far end of the chamber blocks the entry of working steam at the entry end. To get exhausted steam out of the way, a condensing system, using the cooling waters from the river, quickly reduces it to water, which is returned to the boilers for reheating into steam. The 10,- 000 gallons circulating each hour in the boiler pipes is thus used over and over again. From the river comes 125,000,- 000 gallons per day for condensing, after being chlorinated at the in take. It is pumped to the con- densors -through four 35-inch pumps. That is enough water to supply a city of a million popula tion. The power thus generated is stepped up to 22,000 volts and transmitted to the Lumberton sub station, and stepped up to 110,000 volts to go to oher points for dis tribution over the Carolina Power & Light Company’s network. The plant was designed and its construction supervised by Ebasco Services of New York. G. E. Chamberlin succeeded C. H. Kelsey as construction superintendent.
