JACKSON - A project to im prove and expand the Jackson telephone exchange has recently been completed. Carolina Telephone Manager Don Collier said today that an $11,500 program just concluded has expanded the company’s cen tral office equipment here. Included in the project was an installation of equipment to provide facilities to serve 140 new telephones for subscribers in this area and permit better grades of service to present subscribers. Collier said that the growth of Jackson in recent years has brought about an increased de mand for telephone service. This demand had taxed the capacity of existing equipment. Telephones in this area have increased from about 380 to more than 630 in the past 10 years. “The construction program here is in keeping with Carolina Telephone’s continuing program to fulfill the telephone needs of the communities it serves,’’ he pointed out. Collier said, “The Jackson improvement and expansion pro gram was engineered to allow for telephone growth in the fu ture.’’ PUBLIC NOTICE TIMES-NEWS, Thursday, February 19,1970 Interesting Be Seen In Phenomena To Solar Eclipse (Editor’s Note; Following is the second in a series of four articles on the March 7 solar eclipse written by R. S. Dodson Jr. of Morehead planetarium, Chapel Hill.) CHAPEL HILL - It has been said that a total eclipse of the sun is one of the most awe-in spiring events in nature. Here is a “blow-by-blow’’ descrip tion of what will take place; More than an hour before the time of totality the moon will reach the spot where it makes the first small dent in the sun’s image as we see it. Gradually ■ this indentation will increase. For some time no marked dif ference will be apparent in the amount of daylight around us; but gradually watchers will be come aware that things are grow ing dimmer, as totality ap proaches this effect appears to accelerate. Then — rather sud denly, it seems in those last few seconds _ the sun is completely covered by the moon and night has arrived. As this artificial evening ap proaches, curious effects can be noted. One of the most sur prising, to many people, is the appearance of many tiny cres cents beneath trees that are in leaf. Ordinarily, the sun shining through little spaces between the leaves will make round images upon the ground, upon the sides of houses, or wherever the rays strike. The small interstices between the leaves serve the same purpose as the aperture of a pinhole camera, and the circles on the ground are little images of the sun itself. But when the sun has been reduced to a cres cent, each image will be a cres cent also - a tiny representation of the partly eclipsed sun. The sight of these crescents scat tered upon the ground or upon the side of a house is fascinat ing; a view of them makes in teresting photographs. When the midday “night” arives, many creatures seem to feel that it is indeed evening. Birds sing evening songs, chickens go to roost and cattle accustomed to spending nights under cover wend their ways to the barn. Just before totality the sun’s light changes in quality, because all that then reaches us comes from the very edge of the solar disk; consequently earthly objects and clouds may take on strange, unusual hues. When the moon at last covers the sun completely a surprising thing happens. Around theblack- ed-out solar disk the marvelous coron appears - this is the pearly envelope that forms a kind of outer atmosphere of the sun, extending through millions of miles. The corona is composed of highly excited and ionized gases of very low density. It can be seen only at times of total eclipses and through a few modern telescopes equipped with special apparatus for creating artificial eclipses. Although the eclipse “night” will not be completely dark - because sunlight is still being reflected into the totality zone from regions beyond it _ bright stars in the sky may become visible. On March 7 the sun will be in the constellation Aquarius, in which there are no bright stars; consequently it is unlikely that any stellar objects will ap- pear except, perhaps, to watchers on very high ground in Mexico or in airplanes above the denser parts of our atmos phere. But four planets might be seen. Mercury will be just west of the sun, while Venus, Mars and Saturn will be strung out on a line to the east. some interesting phenomena occur just as totality begins and just as it ends. As the left edge of the moon (the edge toward your eastern horizon) reaches the edge of the sun, for one brief, beautiful moment all the light is cut off except for beams that happen to find their way between the moon’s mountain TIDEWATER'S LARGEST AUCTION SALE Located on the old Robertson Farm at The Ponds on Highway 617, approx. 2 miles from Wakefield, Virginia.

Marshall Brittle, Paul Cerny peaks and ranges. This gives one the impression that little globules of light are scattered along the edge of the encroach ing moon. These are called Bail ey’s Beads. As they in turn van ish, the red chromosphere (the lower atmosphere) of the sun be comes visible all the way around the moon. From it occasional prominences arise, shooting out, sometimes, hundreds of thou sands of miles into space. All these reddish displays consist mostly of clouds of incandescent hydrogen gas. Outside all of these is the gorgeous corona. As the total eclipse ends, all these events are repeated in re verse, except that to our now dark-adapted eyes the inner co rona may remain visible for a few seconds even after the first Bailey’s Beads appear - this time on ,the western edge of the sun. occasionally a single “bead” may shine out; this can combine with the remaining co ronal circle to form the famous “diamond ring” effect. Another remarkable and not clearly understood event takes place immediately before and after totality. As the moon just covers the suna series of strange bands, alternately light and dark, sweep across the land, continuing for several seconds; a similar display takes place as totality ends. UP to now these shadow bands have never been photo graphed, although they have been reported at many eclipses. In 1963, a New York amateur astronomer, Edgar M. Paulton, contrived a special apparatus whose principal feature is an ad justable screen almost six feet in diameter. This is used in conjunction with a timing device, and it has a rotable bar for matching the orientation of the shadows. This arrangement was tried in 1963 and since then at several eclipses by paulton and other investigators. For one rea son or another, results to date have been negative, paulton will try again this time, and plans to set up his apparatus at an ob serving site near Greenville, Vinson Goes To Illinois Air Base SAN ANTONIO, Tex. - Airman Bradshaw Vinson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Vinson of Route 1, Woodland, has completed basic training in the missile maintenance field.

Take notice that pleadings seeking relief against you have boon filed in the above —Managing— Your Money PLANTERS NATIONAL BANK What Would It Cost To Replace Your Home? Periodically, ,we have indicated the fact that your present insurance coverage on home and housefurnishings might not be adequate to cover their replacement in case of loss by fire or other insurable risks. As a 0 reminder, we are pointing up some of the factors to consider— and act upon—if necessary. It is a nat ural tendency for people to be careless about matters that could become ex tremely im- portant to them. This applies, particularly, in the matter insurance cover age on their homes and house hold effects. Generally, speaking, fire in surance policies are written for a period of three years. At ex- pii'ation, we receive notice of renewal along with the bill and automatically, we renew the ex isting policy for another three years. If this has been a routine procedure for the last couple of renewals, it is time to sit down and review the changes that might have bought or older pieces you might have replaced with newer and, invariably, more expensive items. For instance, did you have a color TV set when the fire in surance policy was renewed the last time? If not, consider its replacement value if it was de stroyed. The same thought should be given to the refrig erator-freezer or hi-fi stereo equipment or the new living room furniture or power tools. Companies writing fire in surance policies follow this general pattern. The total re placement value of your prop erty equals 100'/,. If you insure the property for 80 y, of its total value, then, in case of to tal destruction, the policyholder would receive the face amount of the policy. However, if through oversight or neglect or habit your policy only repre sents 50% of the full value of the property, you would only receive half the face amount of the policy. As you can see, automatic renewal of a policy without giving thought to the apprecia tion in value of your property or the addition of new items could be costly. The casual or thoughtless re newal of property insurance policies is probably due to a psychological quirk. For, no body anticipates a fire or other disaster. It couldn’t happen to them. Don’t you believe it! Last year, fire losses, alone, amounted to over $1.7 billion and for the first five months of this year, they exceed $649 million. If you have been treating the matter of your insurance cov erage lightly, now is the time to sit down and take an inventory of your possessions. Do it phys ically, room by room and item by item so that nothing will be overlooked. You can get an estimate of their replacement costs by checking current prices for comparable items in the newspaper or local stores. Homeowners can determine the value of their property by com parison with houses of compa rable construction in similar neighborhoods. Or better still, check values with your banker. He would be familiar with prop erty values in the area. When you have finished your appraisal, prepare yourself for a surprise. If averages hold true, you will find you are un derinsured. The question to ask yourself, then, is “Can I afford the risk’’? The chances are that the average family can’t. It never anticipated the extraor dinary expenses that crop up at a time of disaster. If we believe, as the old song says “There’s no place like home’’, we should also realize there’s nothing more valuable than our home.
