According to C. D. Sawyer, plan,

and dialing equipment for central
office use. And Bell Telephone, like
Tide Water, can get little promise
Of hope for deliveries of equip
ment from suppliers. On many Of
its needed items for expansion pur.
poses, the delivery dates extend
months in advance and with no i'm
mediate relief in sight.
Worse Over Nation
While the situation here, from
the utilities expansion standpoint,
is critical enough, the overall ma.
tional picture is great deal worse.
Mr.. Conant told the Star. The
prospect for needed equipment has
become so serious that many cleo
trio utilities may be forced to
limit their construction this year
solely to making necessary repairs
to present plant installations.
The Edison Electric Institute,
trade association for the electric
utility industry, is so concerned
about the outlook, Conant said he
had been advised, that it has COM
municated with all its industry
members advising them that if
the strike Of electric equipment

ues, the depletion Of stocks OF met
ers, transformers, insulators and
poles may lead some municipalities
and cooperatives to ask for ration.
ing OF equipment.
Equipment Rationed
"In effect" the institute points
out, the manufacturers are al.
ready rationing equipment because
available equipment supplies are
anocated to the various districts
on the basis of sales during some
last period Of time.''

preference on this equipment and
are exercising it.
Mr.. Conant said that so far, he
has not been advised as to any

Poles Easier
While poles have been on the
critical list since last summer,
Tide Water, through an advanta.
geous and appreciated connection,
have been able to get some poles
right along, Mr.. Conant said.
Practically all poles used by utili.
ties in this part Of the country are

Street Fixtures
Another item or items on the
wanted list at Tide Water is
street lighting fixtures, which re
quire such scarce items as porce-
lain, copper, etc. Just when there
will be a more adequate supply OF
this equipment, Conant said he was
not in a position to say, because
suppliers are loath to commit
themselves as to delivery dates.
Tide Water, too, is hard-pushed
in obtaining heavy duty equipment

at main and sub-stations where
stepped-up loads required during
the war, took heavy toll Of plant

Z Couer the TolUr1
By JOHN STEW ART

We devote some of our time, and space this week to a man who in our opinion is 'ffit to rule" We use the term after reading the life story of Alexander Hamilton who stated that only those fit should rule, and then stated that only those of means should rule as they have the most to lose.
 However, since there are excep- tions to all rules we shall tell you of one and urge you to vote for him should he run for state Sen ator.
 The man is Rocco D. Pallotti, who although a very busy man is ever ready to help anyone re- gardless of their race, color or politics.
 One has only to review his rec ord to realize that he is of the people, and for the people.
 If you're interested in your com munlty, better housing and the checking of juvenile delinquency, then Rocco is your man for state Senator.
