The city 1s under the jurisdiction of the Federal Power Com- mission, while Duke's retail customers are under the N. C, Utility Commission. This means the state cannot take any action on behalf of the city to reduce the Duke increase. That action will have to come from the federal level. Duke has submitted a bond in order to charge the 8 percent to the city until the FPC makes a deciston as to how much Increase for power to Kings Mountain will be allowed Duke. “The city has no choice but to increase rates to local customers for electrical power until the Federal Power Commission makes iy Perfect For Over 65 Years By ELIZABETH STEWART Staff Writer While most of us pat ourselves on the Lack when we earn A one-year perfect attendance Sunday School medal, Cyrus Falls at 82 holds ah amazini¥ record in Sunday School attendarice.

"The study 1s not complete. But if it should prove feasible, then the city could own its own electrical power generating plant.” A by-product of such a facility would be steam of such high temperatures that it could be used in place of natural gas heat in industrial processing. If feasible such a facility would mean less natural gas used by Industry and more being made available to residential and business use. But this facility is still only & theory and in the meantime citizens can expect increased electrical and fuel cost adjustment rates beginning in September. : Attendance Reflects Grants School Budget Has Slight Modification Ir oats for “The Golden Grotto," iis” will be conducted by Kings Blain Little Theatre Mon., Aug. ark Grace Auditorium. : Joe Ann MeDante! is serving ies £5 aspistant director for the Baas + for ‘children and bright LAUR. 2, wt 7:30 p,m and Mrs. Raymond Bob Cashion will be Girector. 8nd non-singing roles for and young pecple are cas! members, In. wireni, youth and aduits, 8s well as as a choral and Priday in BN.
