MM Gets Most Liiis la 3
Hotrs; Erwia Mills Not Affected
Cooleemee and many parte of the county became a place of
total darkness around 10 o'clock Monday ngit due to an early
NOW stonn WHICH CMSCD IBTJOF paowes latsure*
The sfbnn started just after dark and this was the only time in
my life that I can remember of having thunder and intoning
while it was snowing. .
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.
