$11,500 Spent
On Phone Sys.
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.’’

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

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

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.
