Judge Hugo l.. Black of Birmingham

Voice Stirred Jurist.
In all my experience as lawyer
and student of oratory | have never
heard a better rendition of Patrick
Henry's Liberty or Death speech
than was given last Friday at the in

out OF grammar school. but there was
nothing amateuriSh about his work.
1t has been years since a voice stirred

did Friday. Some real orators are
being developed at the local high

Many consumers of electricity may
be DELAYED in getting the refunds due

case because of inaccurate informa-
tion on their claim sheets. A. q. Neal.

Ten days ago the company began
checking up on the data furnished by
consumers and found that in numer-
Gus cases the claims differed from the
books of the company as 10 the dates
when service began and as To the
length of time current was furnished
customers, at various addresses
In such cases the company is com
muniCating with the applicants to cor
rect the information and adjust all
differences. The refund runs back
seven years. and during that time
many of the 10000 users of electricity
have moved to several different ad-
dresses. II is principally in such cases
that inaccuracies have developed.
The company is progressing as rap
idly as possible with the task of
checking claims and hopes to be able
to mail thousa nds of refund checks on
