While football and basketball

baseball has never matched its
interest, either from g hcx office

AS a freshman Brownfield first
stepped into prominence. The
nobby little bali runner showed
unlimited promise in interhigh
series competition and promised
to develop into a sensation.
Ineligibility and injury has
hampered the youngster consider
ably during his football career,
however, and although he's
shaped up to the standard set
for him in the games he has
appeared in he has never mad his
desired opportunity Of cashing
in on his promise.

Brownfield may spend year

company. The combination rate now in
effect viii not be changed as this rate
already Is considered very low.
First indication Of the reduction in
rates was given with the announcement
made at the city council in Alexandria
last week at the time the electric fran
ch1Se Tor that city was again awarded
to the v. p Company.
At that time Senator Floyd w. King
OF the electric company, announced
that the Alexandria rate would be re-
duced about $4,000 after August /.
Rate for New Patrons.
From the announcement of the rates
at the Alexandria meeting it is seen
that the new consumers rate will be at
81 for the first 10 kilowatt hours, with
additional kilowatt hours at a rate rang
ing from to cents. In the past, the
rate has been at 10 cents per kilowatt
hour for much longer period, and it
is this reduction primarily which will
AFFECT the household consumer. who is
principally benefited by the new rates
asked.
Announcement of the new rates are
expected to be made within a few days
by officials of the Public Service Co.
at their general offices in Alexandria.
This will be followed by the expected
reduction authorization by the Virginia
Commission.
