“Finally darkness came..
. . . ond we turned on the dear bulbs. As we sat
down to supper, Mama could tell whether we had
washed our hands and you could see well enough to
tell if the bowl was filled with eollards or turnip
greens. I looked up to the dangling light and said
to myself, 'Now we are almost as good as town
people.'"
That's how a 35-year-old Eastern North Caro
lina man remembers the beginning of REA and the
first night with lights. Only three out of 100 rural
North Carolina homes had electricity then, so you
rhay have a similar memory.’
Remember the long years of waiting . . . and
the refusals of the existing power companies. And
then the decision of rural people to organize and
do the job themselves.
Today, nearly 98 out TOO rural homes have
electricity. They do because of a basic American
freedom: The freedom to organize to provide our
selves with a service on a nonprofit basis.
This freedom is just as precious as the free
dom to organize and invest,for the purpose of prof
it. Our rural electric cooperatives believe in both
freedoms.
