Ambulance
Approved
By State
A second ambulance vehicle
operated by Buie Ambulance Ser
vice passed state inspection re
quirements last week and received
a one-year permit.
The firm, which contracted with
the county July 1 to provide service,
now has two ambulances certified.
Clair Hudspeth, emergency medi
cal services coordinator for the
Department of Human Resources,
said the delay in getting the second
vehicle certified was due to new
regulations which went into effect
July 1 concerning space in the
patient area. The vehicle had to be
modified by a body shop.

IF WE SEE ENERGY PROBLEMS
5 YEARS AHEAD.IT MEANS WE'RE
ALREADY 5 YEARS TOO LATE.
Today electric power provides 25% of the nation's energy
By the year 2000( it will be providing 50%.
With this growing demand, you can see why we
have to be years ahead in our planning. As for building,
it takes at least five years from date of approval to build
a coal-burning plant.
A nuclear plant can take ten years. Or even longer.
And there's not only time involved; there's money
At today's prices, we can't build either a coal or nuclear
plant for less than $460 million.
And, when we have to spend money building plants,
eventually it means higher costs for your electricity. That's
why it will pay both us and you to do everything we can to
hold the demand for electricity as low as possible.
By avoiding the summer "Peak Load" hours of 10 AM
to 10 PM. By keeping your air conditioner at the highest
possible comfort setting. By insulating a home properly
The full story on what you can do to save on your
electric bills is free at any CP&L office. Pick up a copy
soon. Because the longer we wait now, the |
harder it will be to do anything about it later.
