? ? m PROGRESS SENTINEL _ &K?Em \m -i VOL XXXIII NO. S . ^ KENAWSVHXE, N.C. FEBRUARY 3, 1966 PRICE 10? PLUS TAT^ Trial & Error This past week has been a week of "tall tales." Each per son swapping experiences with the other as to how they sur vived the ordeal of no lights, no heat, and no food during the sero weather. They sound like "tall tales," but they really are not. it Is strange how we humans have so much initiative when we need It, and how much hardship we can take when It Is forced on us. Was talking with Forest Mar tin who is manager of lines etc., etc. for Carolina Power and Li ght, and he was saying that he had never seen people as nice about electricity as they had been with this storm. He said that only in a few minor cases had people been ugly, "it seems that everyone understood that we were moving Just as fast as we could go, and they were willing to wait It out." One mother told me that her baby had measles during the ordeal-and had a terrifically high fever. I asked what In the world she did, and she said she Just had to stay home from work and suy in bed with the baby to keep her warm. One man told me that milk cows that were used to being milked by electric milkers, would not let you milk them by hand. So some farmers had ta ken the hose from the wind shield wipers of their cars for cow making. Neighbors became morcnel giibd?% aiid shared gas stoves, eharcodi grills, washing ma chines and everything. ? ? F!r !sp~ ? ? v* - * t *? We of the Duplin Times office and the town of Kenansville were saddened by the death of former co-worker and friend, Margaret Tucker. Margaret, only 61, died in New Orleans of a massive hemorrhage. She was only sick for about an hour. Margaret worked with the Duplin Times for many years, leaving us when she went to - live in New Orleans with her husband about I960. She hand led correspondence, she worked with the mailing list, she mailed the papers, wrote items of news, and when necessary swept the floor, washed the windows and did anything to be done?way beyond the call of duty. She was even "boss" part of the time. Margaret was smart as could be and could not tolerate lazi ness In anybody. Her favorite experession for someone who was lazy was; "He wants a job with the work picked out." ? ? ? ? Mrs. Susan Turner of Beu lavllle who is 87 years of age, had an emergency operation for hernia during the snow storm, on Thursday night. She is get ting along fine, and has been up and walking about. I went to see her the other day and she is as spry as anyone I have seen in a long time. She is in such good spirits that I felt real good when I left her, but she is anxious to get home to take care of her hogs, chickens and everything else.

Mrs. Tucker was an employee of the Duplin Times for many years before moving to New Ice Storm Brings Big Damage Bill The worst Ice storm in Ca roline Power & Light Com pany's history left a colossal calling card of personal dis comfort caused by destruction of electric facilities as it crun ched through the Carolines Tues day and Wednesday. Forest Martin, representa tive of Carolina Power & Light Company said all available per sonnel were called Iraq the local areas to help restore service as quickly as possible " under the circumstances. Cost of the storm to CP&L Is expected to exceed $300,000. It was the worst ice storm in the company's history in terms of total area affected, about one-fourth of CP&L's 30, 000-square-mile service area. Over 1,200 personnel were pressed into service in the company's emergency task force, which worked around the clock in many stricken areas to restore service. Job classifications quickly faded with the urgency of the hour, and suit-and-tle employ ees donned slickers and boots to help in the emergency. Some crews didn't stop for meals, and were served sandwiches and hot beverages on the spot.
