When things begin to happen around here, it comes like bananas— in bunches. There were many happy faces earlier Monday night aa the first snow of the season, which came much earlier than I can ever recall, began covering the .town like a huge white blanket. This was quite a thrill foe the young and youag-at-heart to see ao much snow, before the trees had even died their leaves for the winter. Then came the total darkness on the coldest night of the sea son, which was also a big surprise. There were many cold homes «td a great deal of them without heat or water until late Tuesday. Many of the first dtift workers had gone to bed before this power failure and due to having electric clocks were several hours late for work, not to mention the trouble they had getting there in all the snow. Erwin Mills, however, was unaffected by this failure. They have their own sub station, which continued to supply diem with pow er throughout the storm. A spokesman for Duke Power Company in Mocksville stated the trouble here was due to malfunction in the Cooleemee nib station. This was caused by the snow being unusually heavy on die lines and die trees. Many of the trees had not yet lost then leaves and of course, held much more mown than usual. This caused a large number of them to break and was a hazard to the power lines. He also expressed his appreciation to the people for their co operation and understanding during this crisis and assured every one that the entire staff would continue working around the dock untfl power had bean restored to sll residents. AB Duke Power offices in suiioundlng areas were wnnmoned When power was completely restored to their anmrdiatr area, they continued to help thoae without electricity until all the lines were repaired. The men from* Duke Power are to be commended for the fine work they have done. many homes were without power 1 only three hours, others were not restored until late Tuesday. Theaemenworfcedmany long and fiutiiful hours untflal the trou ble was completely cleared up. This al adds up to Monday being our coldeet, darkest, whitest, prettiest sad most unusual ajgM in many years. SHV Sctats makm * otkm y> " i,l,n CMtor--.
