') T.M. Graham Announces Thursday. Oclobw 30. 1980-KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Paas 91 First Successful Solar Test Came 25 Years O ) O ) 9 » Sunlight as a source of energy is one ol the most promising future alternatives to Ol'l-.C oil. . With all of the increased atten tion being given to solar |X)wer today, few people realize that t)ne of the llrst successful ap plications of solar energy ikcui- red 25 years ago this month. T.M. Graham Southern Hell District tnanager said that the first successful test of solar energy for telecommunications began on October 4, 1955. Hell V l aboratories, the Bell Systetn’s research and development unit, teamed w ith Srmthern Hell to use pole-mounted sttlar batteries to power rural telephone lines near .Americus, Georgia. Graham explained that the in vention of the solar cell and the solar battery were by-products of Hell labs’ pioneer research in semiconductor technology, the 9 same type of research which led to Bell Labs’ invention of the transistor. Bell Labs scientists. Daryl Chapin, Calvin Fuller, and Cierald Pearson found that sunlight energy striking wafer- thin silicon material (same substance as common beach sand) relea.ses electrons in the ^silicon that could then be ca|v ^tured in the form of electrical current. Their invention was Duo To Appear *At Abbey The llute and classical guitar duo of Irene Maddox and Doug •lames will present a concert at Belmont Abbey College on Monday, November .1, at 8 p.m. in the Abbey Church. ► Ihe Maddox/.lames duo, which has been concerti/ing for six years, played in August by special invitation at the annual coiu<ention of the National Fifie AssOc?lation'. The November 3 concert will lie a return to a favorite place for the duo, who claim that the acoustics of the Abbey Church 0are marvelous, Ixith for the |X‘i- formers and audience. Irene Maddvix, who made a national concert tour earlier this year, is an exix'iienced sym phony llutist as well as concert artist. She has held principal llute (Kisitions with the sym phonies of San Antotiio and Odessa, Texas; Augusta, Ga.; I Columbia, S.C.; Charlotte and .Asheville, N.C.; and the .American Wind Symphony of Pittsburgh, Pa. She has appeared as soloist in live southern states with the Charlotte Symphony, Chamber Orchestra, and in Charlotte with the Summer Pops Orchestra. The founder of the Charlotte Flute Club, Mrs. Maddox has J St tidied with such world leading llutists as Jean-Pierrc Rampal, Frederick Wilkins, George Morey, .lulius Baker, Maxence Larrieu, Andras Adorjan, Alain Marion and Marcel Moyse. Doug James began playing the guitar at age 1.1, and has since studied under such artist as Oscar Ghiglia, Jesus Silva of the )North Carolma Schixil of the Arts, Ciiis Fixile of Charlotte, and Mike Mosley of UNCC. Fie currently divides his time between teaching guitar in his private studio in Charlotte, and IX'rformmg, both solo and duo with Mrs. Maddox.

Harper Attends -Alumni Meeting CHAF’EL HILL — Ragan Harper, pharmacist of Kings Mountain, was recently installed as a member of the Board of Directors of the newly created School of Pharmacy Alumni |Association at the University of "North Carolina at Chapel Hill. A member of the Schixil of Pharmacy class of 1965, Harper will serve a one-year term on the Board of Directors. The Pharmacy Alumni Association was organized in honor of the Centennial of Phar- J maceutical Education on the [campus of UNC-CH. More than 250 alumni attended the Oc tober organizational meeting. made public in April, 1954. The solar cell, the solar bat tery, and subsequent im provements were stimulated by Bell systetn efforts to improve telecommunications technology. So far, the most notable success has been in the use of solar bat teries to power communications satellites and other space hard ware. The Bell System’s policy of sharing such technical contribu tions with industry, government and institutions of higher learn ing has insured that the solar cell and the solar battery also would be available for other uses far beyond the field of telecom munications. “We in the Bell System are justly proud of these two inven tions and scores of others that not only improve basic telephone service, but also unlock new technologies in new or unrelated fields,” said Graham. ‘Today, similar work to im prove old technology and invent new ones is progressing towards making the telephone even more valuable in an approaching age of expanded communications and information services. “We cannot sell all that lies ahead,” said Graham, “but we are confident that great things are in store for the future. The history of our inventions is a good indication. “Who would have ever thought,” he added, “that an ex- rx-riment to improve telephone service to Georgia farmers w ould usher in an era of satellite and lightwave comtnunications and be a major altenative source of energy in America’s drive for energy independence.” SAMPLE BALLOT FOR STATE OFFICERS, UNITED STATES SENATOR and MEMBER of CONGRESS GENERAL ELECTION Gaston County, North Carolina November 4,1980 INSTRUCTIONS TO VOTER a.
