Full Adjustment Lowered In December Retail customers of Carolina Power & Light Company in North Carolina will get a credit of .074 cents per kilowatt-hour (kwh) on their bills under the “approved fuel charge” during December. Because of this credit, 1,000 kwh of electricity will cost $1.03 less than in November, when the fuel charge was 29t per 1,000 kwh. The “approved fuel charge,” reflects monthly variations in CP&L’s actual cost of fuel, com pared to the amount the com pany is permitted to collect for fuel expense in its base rates.

Guide to Good x Eating^ The American diet is changing. There’s concern about usage of our great land for animal feed. There’s concern about “healthful” eating. There’s concern about the food dollar. For these reasons, the homemaker is looking at alternate food sources of protein to meet the needs of the family. “Do we need meat in our diet?” is a question often asked. Meat, fish and poultry have long been known to be “good protein sources.” They have this reputation because they offer the body “complete or high quality protein.” That is, they have certain “amino acids” which are the building blocks our body needs to manufacture protein. Milk also is an excellent source of protein. We can manufacture some of the amino acids needed, but not all. Therefore, we turn to food to provide those missing, essential building blocks. But what about nuts, seeds, dried beans and legumes? Plants are a source of protein too, and are inexpensive. The point here is that plant proteins do not have all the amino acids needed by the body. We must have all the building blocks present simultaneously or the body cannot manufacture the protein we need to build and repair tissue. How aboout ‘complementing’ these incomplete plant proteins? For example, the protein of milk can “fill the gap" of the amino acids that are limited or missing in nuts. Together, nuts and milk offer the body a complete protein pattern. Besides - nuts taste good, and milk is readily available . . . an unbeatable combination any way you look at it! For a nutritious snack, try “Peanut Butter Bread.” It will be sure to appeal to the family appetite, as well as help meet the body’s daily protein needs.
