The veteran should have the right of choice of 'Several organi zations which can represent him and his interests. 3. The availability of Claims Ser vice Red Cross representatives at the regional office in Winston- Salem, N. C.. adds another “plus” quality to our service. 4.

The veteran is given maxi mum aid through the integration of claims service atid other help being extended by the chapter’s Home Service, especially financial assistance. ; 6.

Law Prohibits Use Os Loud Speakers o There are no objections to anyone speaking or preaching anywhere in Black Mountain so ong as he does not use a loud j speaker and create a traffic j tazard, Mayor J. L. Potter told j ;he NEWS today in explaining is action in calling a halt to the street meeting last Satur day. “But there is a city ordin ance against the use of loud speakers within the city limits,” the mayor asserted, “and it will be enforced.” “1 acted last Saturday after several merchants had called « me and complained,” Mayor Potter continued. “As the may or they looked to me to see that the law was enforced and I consider it my duty to do so. However, I wish to make it per j fectly clear that neither I, nor | any member of the council, ob ] ject to anyone preaching or speaking anywhere at anytime as long as he likes, providing that he does not violate the law and that he does not create a traffic hazard. “Anyone who wants to preach or speak within the city limits, other than in a building or place provided for that purpose, should contact the chief of police and he will direct him to a location where no hazard or disturbance Will be caused,” Mayor Potter concluded. Production Field Paced By Chevrolet o DETROIT, Feb. s—Completion of the 1946 passenger car model run by Chevrolet rounded out a production period during which this largest General Motors divi sion built more autos than any other single producer in the in dustry, it was revealed here today by T. H. Keating, general sales manager. The production feat, he pointed out, was accomplished in the period from the beginning of post war reconversion in mid-1945. Some manufacturers began civil ian car output as early as July of that year, although Chevrolet did not get underway until October and was almost immediately strike bound for five months. During the 1946 run, a total of 424,874 Chevrolet passenger cars were produced, a figure nearly 2,000 greater than any other single ! make of car. This total Mr. Keat ing pointed out. represents the out ; put of 11 months, as against an 18-month consecutive working per iod for the second highest manu facturer. During the 1930’5, he said, Chev rolet regularly built and sold more of any given year’s models than any other maker, accounting for the predominance of this one make of car in any given traffic count. “Traditionally, Chevrolet builds and sells approximately one-fourth i of all passenger cars and almost on-'-third of all trucks made in America,” Mr. Keating said. “While passenger car output iri , the year just closed was disap pointing from a volume stand point, truck production approach ed other high-volume years. In 1946, 201,705 truck sales were re ported by Chevrolet dealers. This figure compares with 213,151 in J 936 1 and 264,462 in 1941, the greatest truck sales year. “With truck demand still press ing, high-volume output is assured for 1947. Passenger car produc ' tion, likewise, will be limited only by the capacity of our facilities and j productivity of our manufacturing j organization.” GRANGE MEETS The Swannanoa Valley Grange will meet Monday night at the J. O. U. M. hall for the regular monthly meeting. Say You Saw It la The NEWS New A & P Advertising Series, “Marketing With Marjorie,” CP&L Has Hnge Ccnstrudion ; Budget For 1947 j tv RALEIGH, N. C.—Funds for building an additional 200 miles of new rural lines in Western North Carolina, for completing the re-1 pairs to Avery Substation in Ashe ville, and for the installation of an FM communication system for Company use in the Asheville area are included in the 1947 constroc tion budget, estimated at $6,700.- ■ 000, which has just been announced by Carolina I Vrwer and Light Ga, n a letter to the 15,W0 holders of CP&L common stock. The budget provides in excess of $700,000 to be spent in the Ashe- - ville area. The proposed projects will add some 2,009 new roral and urban customers and will pro vide for increasing the rapacity 1 of present facilities in the area. During 1946 the Company built 150 miles of new rural fines in the Western area, about 27 of which vere without transformers at the end of the year, due to the scarcity of this equipment. The new lines built in 1946 brought electric ser vice to approximately 1,000 new rural customers. The budget provides lor a small ' amount of work still needed to re store stawice to the desired stand ards at wry Substation, wrecked! last year by an explosion, with! modification of former indoor ap paralus to outdoor equipment. Another item approved for the Western area is the installation of a frequency modulation broad casting station, with a 50-watt transmitter and receiver to be located in the Company’s distri bution and service offices in Ashe ville. Five mobile units for instal lation on two heavy construction and maintenance tracks anil on three service trucks are planned. The antenna will be placed on top of the CP&L sign on the Public Service Building. Instal'ation of the FM station for use in Company operations will provide two-way communication for a radius of 20 miles from Asfee- . ville. It Jk designed to improve CP&L service by providing con stant communication with service and maintenance crews, by per mitting the immediate dispatching of crews to trouble spots or any 'ocality where immediate service is required. This year’s construction budget, containing funds for many differ ■nt items, is the largest approved by the Company since 1930. A •'min item this year is the sum of f-S.HWt.ffl 1 ' for the construction of 1500 miles of new rural lines! ♦hrougbout the svstem, which will | bring electric service to about 7,~ 500 new rural customers^ The 1 500 miles at rural fines scheduled to go up during 1947 are a continuation of the Com pany’s rural expansion program begun shortly after V-J Day. This orogram was well underway In 1946, and during the past year CP&L completed 1,300 miles of rara! lines. At the close of the vear, another 1,400 miles of rural lines were in various stages of construction, with about 1,000 miles complete except for transformers. The Company's overall postwar ( rural construction program Is aim- I ed at the building of a total of 4,600 miles of new rural lines bv sometime in 1948, adding a total of 22.400 new rural eutomers.
