Power Company Hearing Adjourned
Until Last Week In September
RALEIGH, Sept. 11. The
hearing on the order of the Fed
eifel Power Commission requir
ing .the Carolina Power & Light
Company to “show cause” why
it should not dispose of $24,000,-
000 of the book value of its as
sets has been adjourned until
September 29 when counsel for
the commission will resume its
cross - examination of company
witnesses in an endeavor to re
fute the untility’s claims that
$97,000,000 of value actually ex
ists.
As the hearing was adjourned,
A. M. McCabe, company engineer
in charge of the reclassification
of property, had been under se
vere cross-examination for 29
days by commission counsel,
which sought to break down his
testimony with regard to origi
nal construction costs. Mr. Mc-
Cabe has steadfastly contended
that cost figures, determined by
him, are supported by value.
Norman B. Gray, examiner for
the Federal Power Commission,
who is hearing the case, admitted
into the record six weeks ago
testimony of witnesses tending
to prove values as claimed by
the company to actually exist

Aids In Defense
L. V. Sutton, president and
general manager, testified in the
first week of the hearing, which
started July 21, that the creation
of the present Carolina Power j
and Light Company in 1926, j
when a number of utilities were |
consolidated, has proved “partic
ularly valuable to national de
fense as well as to our custom
ers.”
Mr. Sutton said the consolida- !
tion .which is being attacked by |
the commission, has not only
made it possible for his compa- [
ny to reduce the cost of electri
city for residential purposes
from an average of eight and
one-half cents per kilowatt-hour |
to two and nine-tenth cents per
kilowatt-hour, but that its facili
ties have been so expanded as
a result of the creation of the
present company it has been able
to furnish large quantities of
electric power to defense con- i
cerns such as the Carolina Alum- j
inum Co., located outside com
pany territory, and to the Ten
nessee Valley Authority.

ON MOUNTAIN
Bishop Tomlinson of Church
of God Carries Scrolls Up
Burger Mountain
Murphy, Sept. 11. —While a
thousand voices blended in songs
of the church and airplanes roar
ed overhead, Bishop A. J. Tomlin
son, general overseer of the
Church of God, carried scrolls
representing Moses’ tablets of the
Ten Commandments and the Nine
Beautitudes of the Sermon on the
Mount to the top of Burger Moun
tain.
The 73-year-old bishop led the
slowly climbing multitude along
the winding paths. One person
lent a hand to the one just be
hind, to carry out the church’s
preachings of one person help
ing another to God.
The airplanes took an essential
part in the ceremony, for it was
in 1903, while the Wright broth
ers were experimenting with the
airplane at Kitty Hawk, that Bi
shop Tomlinson founded a single
condolence in their deep afflic
tion and that a copy of these
resolutions be sent to the family.

Library Movies
To Build Morale /
CHICAGO. Sept 10.—A new
plan to show movies in libraries
to raise American morale;.was re
ported to the American Associa
tion . ft r Applied Psychology ; to
day.
The aim is nonpartisan, that is

tionist. The films are intended to
bring home to onlookers the val
ues they get from America.
They include America’s human
resources, material resources, re
lations with other nations, unem
ployment eradication, and such
things as the minority groups in
American life.
The pictures are to be shown in
libraries scattered over the coun
try, with talks accompanying the
. films, and books and other in
formative material on American
life laid out by the librarians in
and first moderator and general
overseer The first convention of
the church was held at the foot
of the mountain The Church of
God later bought the mountain
and set it apart for a “Pattern oh

COLLEGE TO GIVE
DEFENSEWORK
State College to Train Men
in Metallurgy, Chemistry
and Ceramics
A new engineering defense
training course, pyrometry, tem
perature measurement and con
trol, has been added to the list
of courses offered by State Col
lege to non-college men this Fall.
The course, open to high school
graduates, will train young men
for positions in defense industries
in which temperature measure
ment and control are important.
These include the metallurgical,
chemical and ceramics industries.
Only course of its kind offered
in the South, the course will be
gin October 1 and continue for 12
• weeks, with registration limited
to 15 students. AH expenses ex
cept students’ subsistence and
textbooks will be paid by the fed
eral government.
The course will be given in the
Department of Ceramic Engineer
ing. headed by Dr. A. F. Greaves-
Walker, and will include physics,
combustion of fuels, metallurgical
furnaces, alloys and heat treating
of metals, and the theory, con
struction and use of pyrometers
and other temperature measuring
instruments
Practically all metals and metal
products used in the. Army. Navy
and air corps, as well as the ma
chines and machine tools for pro
ducing them, are made under
close temperature control. Very
few men trained in the manufac
ture; and use of ■.. temperature;. Con
trol instruments have been avail
able. Dr. Greavcs-Walker , said,
adding that the demand for them
is great and will become greater.
Prospective students should
send their applications to Direc
tor Edward W. Rugglcs of the
College Extension Division.
the hope that the audiences will
take up studies of their, own.
These shows are intended for
adults, to get them to do their
own investigating, and to start
libraries in the use of movies as
an asset to books.
A grant of $2,000 froth the Car
negie Corporation aids the work.
The report was made by Dr. Alice
I. Bryan, Columbia University.
Participating, besides the Psycho
logical Association, are the Amcr.
