I CAN'T HAVE USED THAT MUCH ELEC TRICITY. JUST TELL ME HOW." Not a single month goes by without a few members asking for an explanation of what they consider to be an excessive electrical bill, especially during the months of December through March. The answer is not the same for everyone. Of course, during the holiday season you will find the lady of the house cooking more. Also, you will find many houses decorated inside and on the outside with the use of electrical lights and, of course, by doing this the member uses more electrical energy. The days are shorter, therefore, lights are turned on earlier in the day. The days get colder and in return, the furnace runs longer. Also, the temperature of the water in the ground enters your hot water heater at a lower tem perature and this results in the heater having to operate longer to raise the water temperature to a comfortable level. There are many other reasons that calls for extra use of electrical Federal help offered to relocate defense industry unemployed The federal government is now offering to pay the job search and relocation expenses of thousands of unemployed aerospace engineers, scientists, and technicians no longer needed in defense industries. Employers in different in dustries who are willing to teach them new skills can be reimbursed by the government for part of the salaries paid these displaced workers during on-the-job training. Called the Technology Mobilization and Reem ployment Program (TMRP), the new job assistance project has an allocation of $42 million. It is handled by the Department of Labor's Manpower Ad ministration through the various state employment services. In Haywood and Jackson counties, TMRP is the responsibility of the local Employment Security Com mission according to Manager Harley Hendricks, the program provides: job search grants for persons to explore definite job opportunities outside their home area, relocation grants to move to new jobs, on-the-job training for up to six months, and statewide and nationwide exchange of information on openings and available ap plkawti, primarily through a cornawiertied matching system and thai network of state env ploymasa services. Pronations engineering and scienUfif societies are also cooperating with the public ernpisynxnt service in placing 0essMghty stmed scientists, engineers, and teentdans.

Many erratical bills occur simply because of the dates of the meter reading. If the meter reading is sent ri on the 10th of the month and the next month on the 20th, there will be more days shown on that second month. Equipment not operating properly or misused can cause the kilowatt usage to escalade upward. A water pump that has become water-logged will continue to supply water, but can use from $3 to $10 extra power in one month. "What can you do!!!" Discuss the items above with the family. Maybve some one can remember finding something wrong, or an ap pliance not operating as usual. Remember, French Broad EMC cares about its member owners. We serve the roughest terrain in the state of North Carolina and distribute electric emergy at the lowest rates of any other North Carolina owned utility or distributor. If you have a problem concerning your electrical power usage, feel free to call or stop by the nearest French Broad EMC office. $6000 for technicians, excluding fringe benefits. The govern ment will reimburse employers for one-third of the salary paid each workers, up to $2000, and for his pay while taking up to 10 hours of training each week. Manager Hendricks stated that while unemployment among scientists and engineers is not as serious in North Carolina as in areas with concenconcentrations of defense and aerospace work, many have returned to their homes in North Carolina. "It is to the economic ad vantage of our state to employ as many of these highly skilled people as possible," Hendricks said.

For the past three weeks they have been conducting a clean-up campaign which has the community looking much better. More than 24 junk cars and thousands of beer cans and other items have been removed beside the 7-8 miles of roads involved and they're continuing the project. Shown above are five of the workers shown getting "junkers" ready to take off. Other communities could take a lesson from the East Fork citizens. Tax deadline is April 17 Last year at this time millions of American taxpayers were working feverishly trying to complete their tax returns before the midnight April 15 deadline. But, this year the situation is not quite so urgent, according to Mr. Fortner, local area manager for H & R Block. Because the normal April IS fili: deadline falls on a week 1 this year, explained Mr. Former, the deadline has been extended to Monday, April 17. What this means to the average taxpayer is that he has two additional days to prepare and file his 1971 Income Tax Return. Actually, continued Mr. Fortner, most taxpayers received a total of three ad- Cherokee to host PTA meet The District I Parents and Teachers Association will hold their Annual Conference at Cherokee Elementary School this year, at . The date set for the conference is April 17, and registration will begin at 9:30 a. m. in the Elementary Schvl Library. The theme of this year's conference is QUALITY EDUCATION TODAY." There is a good program planned and will include Mrs. Stanley S. Atkins, State P.T.A. President, who will report on State-Wide P.T.A. a ctivitles. Other speakers are Mr. Fred Bishop, Director of Vocational TERN North Counties, and Samuel S. Smith, Assistant Superin tendedn for Haywood County Schools. Some of the business to take up will be nominations and selections for filling positions of District Director, Public Relations Director , Secretary, and County Directors. Local Unit Presidents, Council Presidents and Prin cipals are u rged to invite Executive Boards Superin tendents to the Conference. The Conference should be over by 12:30 p. m. good neighbor. m i I'm ditional days in which to complete their returns this year, because, being leap year, February contained an extra day. Simply stated, the law says that if the filing deadline falls on a weekend or legal holiday, it will automatically be extended to the next business day, ex plained Fortner. The last time this situation occurred was in 1967, when April 15 also fell on a Saturday, so the deadline was extended untQ Monday, April 17. Fortner also said that H&R Block wants to caution tax payers, that no matter when the filing deadline falls, descretlon must be used in choosing the method of mailing your return to the IRS, in order to meet the timely filing requirements. Normally the postmark on the envelope is deemed to be the delivery date if posted in a U. S. Post Office. However, if the postmark is from a private postage meter, the return must be received by the Internal Revenue Service on the same day it would have been received if it had been posted at a U. S. Post Office. If there is any delay in delivery, the taxpayer must Industry Declines ; Reason Explained Published below is a letter recently received by Zeno Ponder, member of the Mar shall Industrial and Planning School Bonds Sold Tuesday By Commission Bonds and notes sold by the Local Government Com mission, Raleigh, on Tuesday, April 4, included: County of Madison: (275,000 School Building; net interest cost, 3.50 per cent; years average maturity, 84 dayi; winning manager, Citizens Bank, Marshal, N.C; range of bids, 3.50 per cent. Men In Jail For Larceny, Vandalism Sheriff Ponder announced this morning that s Forest City boy, formerly of Madison County, and a La oral boy, both about 17 years old, are in the Jal here charged wan vandalism at the Laurel school and several other places ; : " ' - i Ponder also said that four Unicoi, Term., men were In Jail default of HM00 bonds , charged with the larceny of, motorcycles from the Laurel section, "'. ; . "M BUSS prove that he mailed the return on time and explain the cause for delay. Simply dropping your return in the corner mailbox at 11:59 p. m. on April 17 is not enough, because chances are it will bear an April 18,postmark, unless deposited at a Main U. S. Post Office, added Fortner. Also, the envelope must be properly addressed and have the proper, amount of postage. IRS may charge a 5 per cent per month penalty on the balance due on returns that are not filed on time. Forner pointed out that at this time of year, H&R Block is often asked if one spouse may sign a joint return for the other. The situations where it is permitted are limited to cases where one spouse has a power of attorney, or cases where one spouse is in a combat zone, or if one spouse is physically unable to sign by reason of illness, if oral consent is given. In most cases a statement must be attached to the return explaining why one spouse is signing for the other. Fortner concluded by saying that all H&R Block Offices will remain open the last few days, including April 17, until the last customer's return is completed. Boards, which explains why the proposed industry recently sought, has tentatively declined to locate on the Industrial site here: Mr. Zeno Ponder Marshall, North Carolina Dear Mr. Ponder: I am sorry for the delay in responding to your recent telephone conversation. You had indicated that the Marshall Development Group was making every effort to prepare for the proposed sewing plant. As I had indicated to you at that time, the Campus business had expanded to a much greater extent than we had anticipated. Consequently, the decision was made to direct our efforts to a plant that was already in operation. We have just con summated the purchase of a sewing plant and could not find any alternative in order to maintain our current rate of growth. In order to continue with this aggressive expansion, we are going to have to digest this new plant on an orderly basis. We have, therefore, decided that we cannot proceed immediately on the proposed plan at Marshal. We want you t understand that we feel very ttxfly to all your efforts and will make every effort to contact you as soon as wt are prepared to; proceed , further to a s . pension program. 1 .' v-, , Vary unly yours, i Campus Sweater and Sport -v' -4 , &Po!ishook' Y . , Vice President New Date Set For School Opening; Bidders Listed j.
