Neutrality-suspicious. L. Cooke
Chief rural identification admin
~istrator, commended the co-opera-
tive spirit of the Duke Power COM
pany in helping put electricity in
reach of Carolina farmers.
Cooke signed the first rural cleo
.trification contracts Monday, seven
in number, and, while none OF
these were for the Carolinas, he
stated projects in these States were
near the contract stage. He hopes
to get the REA ball rolling in the
Carolinas within two weeks.
At a press conference, Cooke re-
vealed that the administration was
depending on private utility COM
panies to finance the great portion
of the present rural identification
program, and the government
would not be called upon to put up
a great amount of money.
The joker in the program is that
when REA completes its present
program, only n out of every five
farm homes will. have electricity
instead of one out of every 10 as
now is the case.
Just what will happen to the
other 80 per cent of farm homes
is a matter of speculation. The

u. S. Official Gives
Praise To Duke Co.

REA is not interesting itself in
building lines which are sound from
Ia financial point of view, and this
was given by Cooke as the reason
that no grants are made for build
ing rural identification lines, al
though the government is making
grants for almost every other kind
of building activity.
The only projects which are now
being approved are those which
will pay out 100 per cent on the
dollar. This involves about 10
per cent of farm homes. The other
so per cent will require a govern
ment subsidy of some kind, but no
plans are in the making for these.
1t was quite apparent from
Cookies remarks that the problem
of lighting the. farm homes of
America is far from being solved,
and for some time to come four
out of five farm families will have
to continue without electricity.
Cooke said the Duke Power
company had been Every helpful
and cooperative" in promoting the
rural electrifcation in the Caro-
linas, but he did not remember
that any other company operating

angina pectoris at the home of a
brother-in-law in Chicago.
Sunday, who arrived in Chicago

Mr.. and Mrs. William J. Thomp-

He suffered a mild attack about
2 p. m. Wednesday.
Sundays wife, Helen, said that
at 2 a. m. Wednesday the evange-
list complained of pains in his arms,
saying:
Mother that feels like angina.
1t hurts very much"
Mrs. Sunday gave him some med
icine and he returned to sleep, she
said. He was up and dressed from
z p. m. until 5 p. M, when he re-
tired and she carried up lunch for
him.
The pains returned at $3.50 p. m.
~ however, and~Dr. Hal w. .Shain,
who lives near the Thompson home,
was called. DR.. Shain placed an
ice bag over his heart, which ap-
parently relieved him, and said he
would return.

day said, apparently still strong.
Mrs. Thompson, her husband and
Mrs. Sunday were all with the
evangelist, about 7:15 P. M, when
he said, Mother, 1 just feel dir
zy."
Then, Mrs. Sunday said, "he just
slipped back on his pillow and
closed his eyes,"
DR.. Shain was recalled.
On Oct. u Sunday preached in
Mishawaka, Ind, at a Methodist
church, Mrs. Sunday said, and ex-
pressed himself as delighted with
the success of the meeting" Mrs.
Sunday said $50 or 40 people came
to the alter"
Shortly after the death, Mrs.
Sunday placed a call to their young
est son, Paul P. Sunday, in Los An
geles, Calf. Paul, with another
son, William Billy Sunday, Jr.,
told their mother they would leave
on a 9 p. m. Pacific timeD plane
and would arrive in Chicago Thurs

The clergyman's first attack, his
wife said, was suffered three years
ago while he was preaching in Des
Moines, Ia. He suffered another
attack last May in Chattanooga
Tenn and had been in failing
health since.
