Despite all the combined efforts
of the medical profession, public

Americans who are facing unneces

Aaaaaaachooooo!
Here comes the hay fever- season!
If you're one of the several mil
lion in this country who haVe dh
nn*l bouts with hay fever, or other
millions who undergo severe asthma
attacks during the hay fever sea
son, watch out, says Today's Hen'
th, the magazine of the American
Medical Association, It's rough
sledding ahead.
From the middle of August thro
ugh mid-September, those sensitive
to ragweed pollen suffer their most
agnoizing time. That's when the
ragweed pollen count is highest.
Hay fever is not caused by hay
and it isn't a fever.
Hay fever is an allergy. Your
body becomes sensitive to a foreign
substance. This can be almost any
thing for various individuals, but
it most likely to be ragweed pollen.
The results also vary, but most i
commonly are sneezing, watery
eyes, runny nose and general mis
erable discomfort.
Tolerance to pollens sometimes
can be built up by injecting a dilute
solution of them under the skin.
These shots must be medically pre
scribed to meet individual needs.
In some cases your doctor may pre
scribe one of the antihistamines for
temporary relief.
The most common preventive
measurers against hay fever are:
* Get specific anti-hay fever shots
well ahead of the season.
* Avoid exposure to ragweed pollen
by keeping away from areas where
it is prevalent.
* Air condition the home and work
in air-conditioned surroundings, if

The story of rural electrification
in North Carolina might wed be
entitled, "Out of the Darkness ...
Into the Light." It is a story as dar

written by a great people. But it
is a story which, though taken for
granted by many, is factually
known and understood by few. h
is important that everyone know
what this story is.

N- / Tri-County Electric Membership Corporation was organized
and chartered in 1940. Its first construction project, involving
265 miles of line to serve 925 people in Wayne, Dopim, Lenoir
and Johnston Counties, was completed in 1941. This first proj
ect was financed by on REA loan of $306,000^. -?' ">
fhe Cooperative has steadily expanded its system until
IT now has 1,377 miles of lines and distributes electricity to
6,402 member-owners in the rural sections of Wayne, Duplin,
Lenoir, Johnston, Wilson and Sampson Counties.
Total REA loans through 1962 amounted to $3,349,568.
34. The Cooperative has repaid $1,108,759.64 on the princi
pal of these loans, including $366,558.95 ahead of schedule,
and has. paid REA $451,712.89 in Interest. y -
* - - -J
Tri-County Electee's members, through payment of mem
bership fees and by returning their margins to the Coopera
tive's capital account, have thus far Invested $667,807.41 of
their own money in the business.
The members have continuously increased their use of
electric power. Average consumption in 1942 was only 41
kilowatt-hours per month, which cod the member $2.80 or
nearly 7c per KWH. Average consumption in 1962 was 409
KWH per month, which cost the member $10.71 or some 2.6c
per KWH. Thus, while Tri-County's members have increased
their power use nearly ten-fold, they have reduced their per
KWH-cost nearly four-fold.
: - .. ?? -*l? ? - ?
Tri-County's members read their own eledfic meters,
sending the meter readings In to the Cooperative's 'bead
quarters In Goldsboro every month. The Cooperative estimates
thpt this practice, without which five additional employees and
trucks would be required, saves Tri-County Electric and .its mem
bers some $27,000 every year.
The Cooperative employs 33 persons who earned a-pay> *
roil in 1962 of $155,467.58. These employees have aecomv
loted on average of seven years' service with the Cooperative.1
Tri-County thus has a total of 259 man-yewi^of experience
. performing its operations, . ' ^
K_J An eleven-member Board of Directors directs the Coopera-'
five's affairs. This Board, elected every year by and from the
members at their meeting, is composed of the following, whose
