Braswell who has been my dentist, as well as that of my wife and daughters, for a number of years. I regret very much the In which be has been placed arising from the recent charges brought against hfan. From a professional standpoint, 1 consider him to be exceptionally well-qualified in the field of denis try by inats intelligence and by training and experience. He served with distinction as a dentist In the U.S. Navy and has taken many postgraduate courses during the intervning years—study which is essential to maintaining proficiency In the fields of medicine and dentistry, in my opinion, his dental skills and Judgement are of the first order. He has given and continues to give my family very good dental care. His conduct has been above ' reproach. I would like toadd a paragraph In the stead of my father, the Reverend A.P. Kick son, Sr., now deceased, who lived at Phuntree and was also a patient of Dr. Braswell’s. I am sure that my father would have spoken up in his behalf because DR. Braswell was very kind to him, and went out of his way to help Mm whenever he had the occasion. Respectfully, A.P. Dickson, M.D. Newland, N.C.

Utilities Hearings [Cont’d from page 1] place in the cost of electrical energy in these times. The Cooperatives strongly suggest _ that the consumer throughout North Carolina and Tennessee write their Senators and Congressmen and prevail upon their elected officials in Washington to exercise all energies within their staff to bring pressure upon the Federal Power Commission for a speedy and expeditious hearin on Docket No. E-8884 and also request your repres entatives to maintain pressure on the Federal Power Co mmission for a ruling to be handed down on said Docket and not to be left in limbo for several months in behalf of protecting their constituents and also in behalf of protect ing the Cooperatives which manner of providing them selves with electricity. . Under the laws pertaining to wholesale power contracts, you either accept it as presented, which th Cooperat ives of North Carolina have refused to do; however, the law allows Carolina Power & Light Company to base their wholesale rates under the proposed contract and present their bills as they are now doing until we, the Cooperat ives. hopefully receive judg ment from the Federal Power Commission in the form of relief on said contract.

I pharmacylH comments<ls£ Your Rx Specialists: Charles Gillespie, Jr. Hugh Braddher Tax Tips from “Doctor Block” Sometimes me thinks the pharmacist should put out his H&R Block shingle especially around April 15th! - Seriously, just as we de pend and appreciate the patronage of our customers, so our customers have come to appreciate and depend on his pharmacist for medi cal deduction information at tax-time. Remember, unlike last year it’s not necessary to list each doctor just their total cost. All trips to and from the doctor’s office or clinic (plus trips to the drug store, if made at the same time) merit a 74/mile de duction along with, I might add, expenses for cabs, buses, tolls, and park ing. One final tip: Don’t let shyness keep you from de ducting the cost of glasses, false teeth, or hearing aids. They’re legit too! Bring your prescriptions to us after you see your doctor. Our service is un beatable!
