Utility Moves Into
New Headquarters

Virtually the last van load of
furniture, equipment and records
has been moved. The 275 E.S.P.S.
employees who work in and out of
Salisbury are settling down to car
ry on their jobs in the new modern
all-electric building on Delmar
Road to Naylor Mill Road
The new building consolidates
under one roof the electric COM
pany's executive offices and ap-
proximately 20 departments with
their operating equipment and
gear. Over three acres of floor
space are required to accommo-
date all of the people and work
at the new center In general, in
dividual offices are on the east
side of the office section, with
large rooms for departmental ac-
tivity across the corridor There
are approximately so individual
offices throughout the building,
plus conference rooms, line crew
quarters, first aid rooms.
George NJ Nelson, President of
the Company, has announced that
the building will be open for all to
visit on Sunday, August 8. Guides
will take them upstairs and down
to show them every detail, if they
wish. Among the features every
one will want to see are the heat
pumps which provide heat in win
ter and cool air in summer, all
properly humidifed; the beautiful
modern lighting provided by lum-
inoGs ceiling panels; the beautiful
ly appointed auditorium on the
first floor where appliance dealers
may hold meetings and display new
lines of merchandise; and, the
model kitchen, where small groups
or individuals may see modern
appliances demonstrated by ap-
pointment.

hon dollars in the building, equip
ment and land Improvements such
as grading and macadam surfac-
ing. Up to now the Company has
operated from 10 different loca-
tions in Salisbury, of which were
rented properties. 1t was inefficient
and wasteful of time and motion

his associates were pleased that
the Company had grown to the ex-
tent that the new building was
necessary and justified. He added

Art League Ball
Committee Rounds
Out Key 1858 Posts

The Art League Ball has just
been assured of complete success
with the acceptance of Judge Ed
gar ]. Goodrich as Master of CeTe-
monies and Mr. Thornton w. Owen
as Chairman of the Judging Com
mittee. These key functions of the
party call for a blend of tact, hu-
NOR and courage, possessed to a
high degree by both these gentle
men.
Colonel Beaurega1d Gundry,
Chairman of the Ball, the silver
tongued spellbinder, justly de-
serves the confidence reposed in
him by party goers. He and his
delightful spouse, Dame Alice, have
left no stones unturned, no doors
unopened in their unfagging ef-
forts to make this the most MEM
orable of al art League Balls.
Acting as advisors to the Gundrys
are Tacy and Henry Altman, who
have actively worked on the last
half dozen Art League extrava-
ganzas.
Anticipation of the dance with
its exciting motif of a Might in
Old Natchez" has captured the i'm.
agination and become the main
topic of conversation of everyone
in this area. The various commit
tee chairmen have their work well
in hand through frequent meetings
and intensive planning.
All resorts have their climactic
social event; the Art League Bah
is the top party for Rehoboth.
From the brightest beach to the
most dimly lit porch the focal point
of all talk is the Ball. Tie music,
supplied by the widely acclaimed
Rivers Chambers Orchestra, will
be a surerfire drawing card, for
with its versatility there will be
music for every taste.
The Club will be transformed for
the Party into a genuine Southern
river port. The committee of deco
rations has promised setting so
authentic that you will automatical-
ly develop a drawl.
