DAVIS: This, That, & the Other There is now on the market an instant tea. Always I had felt that making tea was one of the very easiest tasks in meal preparation; but it is to be much simplified. If this keeps up, how are women to justify the old-age complaint of being rushed to death 9 • Not long ago I went to see Walt Disney’s Cinderella and thought it delightful. The cruel stepmoth er was all stepmothers ought not to be; the stepsisters were ugly enough to meet the most critical standard of their features; Cinde rella’s beauty was sufficient to be witch any prince. My childhood fancies were upheld. A little later I found myself without desire to see Samson and 1 Delilah, and was at first at a loss Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers Coal from Carolina Now Being Mined By Light Company North Carolina coal, once more being produced at the old Deep River mine, is proving its value in a practical way. The Carolina Power & Light Company currently is is using around 100 tons of this coal each day in its Cape Fear steam elec tric plant near Moncure, and, ac cording to Production Superin tendent A. J. Skaale, is finding it “very satisfactory.” This is un derstood to be approximately the total production at the mine at present. For some years it had been de bated whether the coal was satis factory for industrial use. Skaale at first tried mixing it with other coal, but found that the fuel per formed just as well “straight” as it does diluted. The North Caro lina coal is pulverized and blown into high pressure boilers where it burns in suspension. The pow er official did not think it would be suitable for burning in the plant’s low-pressure boilers, but said this was not unusual. “Very little, if any, coal, no matter how high-grade, is suitable for all pur poses,” he said. The utility company can use more Deep River coal as output is stepped up, he said, pointing out that the 100 tons now being used per day at Cape Fear is a drop in the bucket. The power plant, running at full capacity, consumes 1,400 tons daily. In addition to thus, it might also prove feasible to con sume the coal at the new Lumber ton plant which used coal at the rate of 18 carloads per day, or at the Goldsboro plant, now being built, which will require around 16 carloads per day. The Deep River deposits, which were worked as long as 75 years ago, have lain idle for many years until recently. It is esti mated that may contain as much as 100,700,000 tons. A. D.
