Many Customers
Are Now Paying
With Bank Drafts
Approximately 36,000
Carolina Power and
Light Company custom
ers pay their electric
bills each month without
lifting a finger.
They save time and
postage or gasoline by
participating in CP&L's
bank draft program —
an optional, free service
in which customers'
electric bills are paid
automatically from
their bank accounts.
"Many people like the
convenience of not
having to drive to the of
fice or mail in the pay
ment," said CP&L War
renton area manager
James E. Parnell. "And
they know that if they
are away from home,
their bill will still be
paid on time."
Customers select the
date that their electric
bill will be deducted
from their bank ac
count. It can be as early
as five days after the
billing date and up to
and including the past
due date, Parnell ex
plained. Customers on
the program still re
ceive a monthly state
ment from CP&L which
shows how much elec
tricity was used and how
much it cost.
"it a customer has a
question about his or her
bill," Parnell said, "we
will make sure that the
bank doesn't draft the
account until the
question has been an
swered. We just ask that
the customer talk with
us at least four work
days before the draft
date."
The utility company's
manager said CP&L is
offering the bank draft
option aa a service to
customers and as a way
to hold down its admin
istrative costs.
The local CP&L office
has more information
about the draft payment

At Worrenton's High Pollor Worehouse
Eiahth Annual Hee Haw Performance Set
The eighth annual Hee
Haw has been set for
May 11 at High Dollar
Warehouse on Franklin
Street in Warrenton.
Plans are underway
for the largest atten
dance evtr as inquiries
and requests from the
public have been over
whelming, according to
Linda Carter, publicity
chairman.
A spinoff from CBS's
televised Hee Haw
Show, the local rendition
originated in 1977, and
has expanded each year
to become Warren
County's largest coun
try music and comedy
show.
Efforts are made to
select most performers
from the local area, with
few exceptions made in
the search for musical
talent. Comedy routines
are always local person
alities imitating Hee
Haw stars.
"Hee Haw — Warren
County" has improved
with age, Mrs. Carter
noted. Many changes
have been made through
the years to improve the
show and the produc
tion. Additional and
suspended sound
systems, rearrange
ment of performance
stage, addition of a
second stage for
"skits," and improved
parking facilities were
added last year. Among
the changes this year
will be bleachers to
complement seating
capacity. Space will also
be allowed for those
wishing to bring their
own chairs.
Approximately 700
people attended the
show last year. Sponsors
anticipate a larger turn
out this year, and are
making this announce
ment early to avoid con
flicts with other com
munity activity sche
dules.
Mrs. Carter urges
everyone to mark the
calendar now for an
evening of family enter
tainment. Hotdogs and
baked goods will go on
sale at 5:30 p. m.; show
starts at 7:30 p. m. Ad
mission is 12.00 under
twelve, $3.00 twelve and
over.
All proceeds will
benefit the Afton
Elberon Volunteer Fire
Department.
