A.E.P. Awarded National
Honors For Rural
Program

Highest national honors have
been awarded to Appalachian
Electric Power Company for its
outstanding rural electrification
program during 1913.
Last week, L. L. Kontz, system
rural supervisor for Appalachian
of Roanoke, was presented the
Thomas w. Martin award for
1948 at the Edison Electric Insti-
tute in Chicago.
Appalachian received h
award, not only for its outstand-
ing job in extending rural lines,
but also for carrying OFT PLAN
ned program aimed at the agri-
cultural and economic advance
ment Of the 81 counties in Virgin
ia and West Virginia, which the
company serves.
Last year Appalachian con-
structed total of 3,414 miles of
rural lines to serve 24,453 new
customers in the two-state area.
The 1948 activity brought the to-
tai number of miles Of rural
line operated by Appalachian to
16,601 and the total number of
rural customers served during
the year to more than $4,000.
Appalachian's rural electriff-
cation extended throughout the
company's entire service area.
In the Abingdon district, which
includes the counties of Washing
ton, Scott, Dickinson, Russell and
part of Wise, Appalachian last
year built 437 miles of rural lines
to serve 1854 new customers.
Appalachian's rural supervis-
ors and agricultural engineers
worked closely with Fourth
Club, Future Homemakers and
Future Farmers of America
groups in the Abingdon district.
Wire repairing demonstrations
were held for many of the groups
in the district.
Appalachian, in cooperation
with VPI extension service, con-
Quoted the Clayton Lake lamp
sale in the five counties of the
Abingdon district to raise funds
for the development of camp
site for youth and farm groups
of the state.
Appalachian's rural service pro
gram touched many people in the Q
Abingdon district in many differ
ent ways during 1913, always
endeavoring to improve methods
and efficiencies of the individual
farm and home operations, as
well as the general welfare and
economic stability of the commun
ity.
Appalachian, while it does not
actively merchandise electrical
equipment, works closely with
the local dealers and customers
in IAN effort to see that proper
types and sizes of equipment best
suited to local requirements are
always readily available.
