‘‘For the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof."
— Psalms 24:1; 50:12
Most of us have a possessive attitude. We talk about “our town,”
and “my house,” and “my job.” There’s nothing really wrong with
this attitude. It reflects pride in the community and a filing that
some individual contribution has been made.
It becomes wrong when our concern for the good things of life
becomes too strong, when our eagerness to achieve dominates our every
thought and action. When we want too much and try too hard we
forget the simple values—and we do not have time to be thankful to
the Lord who made all things possible.
Carolina Telephone Posts Records
And Achievements During 1970
For Carolina Telephone, 197C
, was a year o| numerous new rec
ords and significant achieve
ments, according to its presi
dent, H. Dail Holdemess.
During the year, the compa
ny invested more in new plant
facilities than in any single year
of its history, over $40,000,000;
handled more long distance con
versations, 35,000,000 plus; spent
more for salaries and wages,
above $25,000,000; and had more
people on its work force than
ever before, with 4,142 employ
ees.
In 1970, Carolina Telephone
gained 32,965 telephones, and
as of December 31, had 439,551
telephones in service. Total
plant investment at the end of
the year stood at more than
$229,000,000.
Highlights of the year includ
ed inauguration of service from
new, electronically - controlled
local dial offices at Greenville
and Wilson, introduction of Di
rect Distance Dialing at Clinton
and three adjacent exchanges,
and occupancy of a modernistic
new six-story General Office
building at Tarboro.
Also of importance was the
-elimination of all rural multi
party service (up to 10 custom
ers per line) in the area served
by Die company. This achieve
ment climaxed a three-year pro
gram-which resulted in upgrad
ing service -to more than 37,000
'subscribers.
Holdemess concluded that Car
olina Telephone’s confidence in
the sound economic future of
Eastern North Carolina is reflect
ed in the company’s expansion
1971 which call for
budget of $51,
"Elbow Grease"
Necessary to
Refurnish Furniture
If some of your wood furni
ture is showing its wear and
tear, save some money. Refin
ish it yourself.
It’s true that refinishing furn
iture calls for plenty of “elbow”
grease, -but it’s not hard to do,
Mrs. Edith McGlamery, exten
sion housing specialist, North
Carolina State University, ob
serves.
The first step is to clean the
wood and sand it satin smooth
with garnet or production pa
per. For best results, the spec
ialist suggests putting the paper
on a sanding block;.
If possible, do the sanding by
hand, Mrs. McGlamery advises.
Electric gadgets take a lot 'of
of skill to handle properly. As
an added bonus, you’ll give your
arm muscles some good exer
cise when you do the job by
hand.
Start with a somewhat coarse
grade of paper and work down
so the final sanding done with a
very fine paper, the specialist
recommends.
If the wood is soft, such as
pine, dampen it with a thin glue
solution. The fuzzy hairs of the
wood will stiffen, and you can
cut them off with sanding. Dust
with a tack rag and apply your
stain.
It’s usuaiiy good to stain wood
its ftatural color, Mrs. McGlam
ery says. Let the stain dry over
night and buff lightly with a
very fine steel wool pad; then
dust with a tack rag.
There are two types of finish
ing coats, Mrs. McGIamery notes.
The penetrating kind seeps into
the wood; the surface kind lays
on the top of the wood.
The penetrating finish is easy
to apply, maintain and restore,
Mrs. McGIamery says. Make sure
you have either a phenolic resin
or an alkyd resin penetrating
seal if you buy this type. Two
applications will usually do the
job.
The surface type finishing coat
is good for counter and table
tops — or for things you wipe
off every day. It’s very durable,
but leaves a glassy layer that
does take away from the natural
glow of the wood.
If you wish to wax your fin
ished product, the specialist ad
vises using a very thin coat of
paste wax.
