For the home we now have what is called the “HOME INTER PHONE'—the ultimate in home communications. The “PANELPHONE”— designed to be flush-mounted into the wall. The “BELL CHIME’—a new centrally located ringer with soft melodious chimes. For the business and industry we have many new services and equipment to meet their tremendous and varying needs. WATS, or “WIDE AREA TELEPHONE SER VICE”—a new service providing unlimited intrastate and interstate calling within specified areas on a full or measured time basis. “TELPAK”—a new pri vate line service for businesses which require large volume point-to-point communications. “DATA SER VCE”—or, the transmitting from one point to another information in the form of letters, numbers, etc. These are just a few of the many new developments by the Bell Labs. Within the next few weeks will mention other new services and also some that are still in the experimental stages. * * * * TIME BY TELSTAR ... By now, many of us have seen television transmitted by Tel star, the Bell System’s experi mental active communications satellite. But there’s another, not so well-known job which has also been done by Telstar . . . synchronization of master time clocks in England and the United States. Time signals were sent simultaneously via Telstar between Andover, Maine and Goonhilly Downs, England. Master clocks in our country and in England were then synchronized from the time signals. Clock-watching via Telstar! BUSY FAMILIES NEED extension telephones; in the bedroom for quiet, relaxed conversation with friends and security at night... in the den for dad’s business talk . .. in the kitchen for conversation while cooking ... in that teen-ager’s room for boy/girl talk.

Fuel Usage Up As Mercury Goes Down Temperatures that plum meted to record lows in this region have pushed electric and fuel use to an all-time high. The result has been higher than normal electric and fuel bills for the Caro lina homeowner. Discussing the winter’s re cord cold, Manager W. S. Holcomb of CP&L’s Black Mountain office, said CP&L’s generating plants have been railed on to produce more electricity than ever before. For instance, CP&L recorded the highest demand in its history, 1,516,000 kilowatts, 12 per cent above the peak for the previous winter. Engineers measure the severity of a winter season by the “degree day.” A degree clay is determined by taking the average temperature for a single day and subtracting the figure from a base 65. For instanee| a winter day with an average of 20 de grees is scored as 45 degree days by the engineer. Degree days ran 20 per cent above normal for this winter. The result has been an all-time high use of elect ricity for heating and light ing during the coldest days and longest nights of the year. Mr. Holcombe said many of these abnormally high bills arrive on sunny, spring-like days with crocuses blooming and memories of winter fad ing from mind. The bill rep resents an earlier period when degree days were pil ing up and temperatures were tumbling. First Aid To Include Info. On Survival John L. McWhorter, chair man of the Black Mountain Swannanoa Red Cross Chap ter announces the following: Emergency survival informa tion will be made available to the public in first aid courses of the Red Cross, doing so at the request of the U.

The new cooperative plan calls for Red Cross instruc tors to offer medical self-help material and training to peo ple completing the regular Red Cross first aid course. Included will be information and instruction dealing with radioactive fallout and shel ter, healthful living in emer gencies, nursing care of sick and injured, infant and chile care, and emergency chile birth. These materials will be provided to Red Cross by local civil defense and pub lic health departments.

Mr. and Mrs. Walter R. Davis, Sr., visited us Sunday. Walter is improving from the flu. One of our friends’ little dogs came into the yard with an egg in its mouth. The neighbor grabbed a limb and thrashed the dog to try to break it from “sucking eggs”. The pup just sat down and looked at the man. Getting madder he yelled, “Get from here,” and kicked at the dog. The dog dodged. His foot hit a cinder block and he badly injured his big toe. He suf fered, told nobody, and eventually had to remove his shoe. It was his wife’s dog-— he hesitated to tell. She bath ed his toe in salt water. < Cfi “Water, water everywhere, And not a drop to drink” from Coleridge’s Ancient Mariner was uppermost in each person’s mind during the past week. Two days of bor rowing from the neighbors’ springs, raiding ponds, and even dipping the elusive liquid from the ditches, was enough. Who said he would like to return to the days of Grandfather?

Remini scences of usinff the file place for cooking were ex changed before the meeting was called to order: Mr. Clayton telling how his moth er had prepared therir meals in the open fire, and Thad Burnett recalled the wonder ful taste of the meals prepar ed by his grandmother at the fireplace. Several people seemed to think they would like to try the “oldtime’ method of preparing meals. When we first moved here, we had only the fireplace as a source of heat, so for six months we enjoyed the best flavored food we have ever eaten, so we can recommend that method of preparing meals to anyone. Three items of business came before the group.

There is no cost for these plants if ob tained through the Agricult ural Department, so pick up your blanks.
