Northeastern N. {.
P0wer Rates Reduced

RALEIGH, Jan. 5.-QP-Custom-
ers of the Virginia Electric and
Power company in IA northeastern
North Carolina counties will save
more than $4,000 yearly by rate
reductions approved late yesterday
by Utilities Commissioner Stanley
Winborne.
The rates are the same as those
charged by the company in Vir-
ginia, Winborne said.
Under the new rates the first SO
kjlowatt hours of current used in
residences will cost five cents a
XVIII, while the present rate is
5R cents a XVIII for the first 60.
The commercial rate was cut from
5R cents to five cents for the first
$50 KWHs. A new rate of one cent
a kilowatt hour will apply to power
used for water heating.
Winborne estimated that residen-
tial users would save SIS, 600 year.
ly, commercial customers $13, O92,
and customers heating water cleo
trically, $4,000.

COLOR IS KEYNOTE
OF BOAT SHOWING
Rugged Cruiser That
Climbs Sandbars, Is A
Feature OF Display
By BILL WHITE

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-LR-Com-
ing from a community where a
bathtubful1 is considered a fairly
large body Of water, we weren't pre-
pared for what we saw at a pre-
view of n 55th annual national
motor boat show which opens to
night.
Matter Of fact, it.; an even money
bet that the old salts won't be
either. For the first cruiser that
meets the eye is a $4,000 spoon
nosed cabin job that will CLINT
sandbars, skip through w~ater-lly'
infested ponds, hurtle logs, or run
successfully up onto a beach-all
without damage to the hull.
That, and a 37-foot double ender
auxiliary sailboat, and an aluminium
cupboard hull model seemed to be
the most radical departures from the
accepted forms that can be found
in a tour of the 150-odd boats that
range in price from Sis to $4,000.
