com 2any officials yesterday prom
ised the city complete power serv-
ice by last night, electric current
was off in some sections OF Will
nington and Carolina Beach at
II nm. Efforts to reach company

ed futile.

the repair Of tightening faclllf,es.
A dispatching station has been
set up at Ninth and Orange streets
where crews, brought from
throu ghout North Carolina as well
as those furnished by local con-
tractors, are sent to outlying areas.
The engineer said most damage
was done by falling trees and
winds tearing wires leading from
poles to private homes.
Only two circuits were function
ing in the downtown district yes
terday morning. No electricity was
being sent to the south side Of Will
rnington. and all lines leading to
the Ethel-Dow Chemical company,
Carolina Beach and Wrightsville
Beach were down.

received 10 kilovolts from the Ca
rolina Power and Light company
plant at Laurinburg and was await
ing 10 XIV. from some other plant
to help alleviate the shortage Of
current here.

III BURTON WILLIAMS
Low.Cost Utility Shed

A S FOOD daily becomes an ever
n more important weapon of war,
we must be on the alert for ways
to expand the productive capacity
of our farms. We probably can't
enlarge the farm itself, but we can
increase the output by reducing
livestock mortality, charging herds
and locks, preventing waste Of
crops due to improper storage, and
keeping all equipment in tip-top
shape.
To help in these important jobs,
illustrated below is a low cost
utility shed built largely of nom
critical materials. It is widely
adaptable to many different uses.
Heifers can be sheltered, space
provided for keeping calves, beef
cattle housed, sheep added as a
new profitable enterprise, or ma
chinery protected against deteri-
Grafton in such a shed. In any type
of farming, it will reduce the use
of the barn and save labor.
