ELECTRICITY FUTURE
How 27,785 Users Already Supplied
Utilize Facility Important,
Bagley Says
Daily Dispatch Bureau,


Raleigh, Oct. 19-The future of
rural electrification in North Carolina
will depend upon the extent to which
the 27,785 rural residents already SER
we'd by completed lines are educated
in the use of electricity and electrical
appliances, Dudley Bagley, state REA
head said today.
There are already 27,785 customer
on rural electric lines in North Caro-
lima" he said, what they use and
now they Use electricity will determine
the future of rural identification in
the State"
cit makes no difference who builds
the lines-private power companies,
municipal plants or Federal REA-
they must be made economically feast
BILE and self-sust2ining at least, or
they will be discontinued and other
lines will not be built" he continued.
For the past six months the de-
velopment of business on the already
constructed lines has been chiefly on
my mind, even more than the con-
struction of new lines. If those al
ready built prove. profitable, there
VIII be no real difficulty in getting
Others built
Mr.. Bag,ey said that most of the
utilization work of the State REA
IS icing carried on through the cor
dial cooperation of the State College
Extension service and county and
home agents The federal REA, he
said, maintains a staff of experts
whose sole duty it is to advise rural
electric customers on the number and
nature of appliances they can use.
He pointed out that there is al
ways the danger of "overselling" the
customer, in which case it will not
be long before he ceases to be a Gus
toner. '-sf =
1--WE must try to induce the rural
consumer to use all the appliances he
can economically afford but we must
always guard against the danger of
overlooking him with installment
good he cannot pay for.
