though primarily local in character,
is under overall direction of this COM
mittee and several other civic leaders.
DR.. Buie said, "Farm-City Week is
an activity which has caught the
imagination of farm, business, govern
mental and lay leaders alike. The
necessity of closing the breach in the
understanding between the rural and
ur b a n segments of the American
economy is very real one. Farm
City Week has taken the lead in
closing the breach through a concen-
trated exchange of ideas and infor-
alton and through widespread get
acquainted affairs between farm and
city folks"
THE Thanksgiving season is an ap-
propriate time for all of us to b
reminded of our many blessings in
the form of natural resources. We
should be especially thankful for soil,
wafer, woodlands, and wildlife", he
said.

has issued definite regulations
and instructions on how alIot-
ments may be divided or COM
bined- County ASC committees
must follow these regulations in
all cases.
Many farmers have had some
unhappy experiences in the past
because they did not determine
in advance how the acreage aIlot-
ments would be divided before
they bought or sold land cover
ed by the allotments.
Ratcliff further brought out
that both the buyer and the sell
er have a responsibility for mott
flying the County ASC office as
soon as possible after land is
sold and for requesting the coun-
ty ASC committee to make a
division of the allotment for the
farm if only a part of the farm
is sold.

Woman Driver
Goes On Trial
For Auto Theft

Larceny of an automobile will
be the subject of one trial dock
eted for Tuesday.
Unusual is the charge only h
the light that the defendant is a
woman, 30-year old Helen Louise
Dodson of Whiteville Route 2.
According 10 police reports
Miss Tor MRS. Dodson was STOP
ped in Tabor City last Monday
night, Nov. 2, and booked for
driving drunk. Further investi-
cation led police officer Ted
Watts to charge her with larceny
of the 1853 Ford which she was
operating.
After a brief hearing in Tabor
City Monday, the defendant was
bound over for Recorders trial.
In lieu of $500 bond for the

bond for the larceny county,
she was confined to the county
iail.

NOT WHAT YOU DRIVE

It's not what man makes but what
he saves that makes him rich.
It's not what man reads but what
he remembers that makes him smart.
These are old sayings but true ones,
and here is still another one that
means lot for your safety. It's not
what a man driSes but how he drives
that can save his life on the highway.
Traffic mishaps in North Carolina are
not the least selective about who they
involve. when they happen or where.
The kind of auto doesn't matter
either. The most expensive car,
travelling on a wide four lane road

trap if the driver is careless, drinking.

laws.
Furthermore such practices add
points to the drivers record-points
that can eventually cost him his driy-
ing privileges.
The North Carolina Department of
Motor Vehicles says you know what
will happen if you drive carelessly.

Near 5000 Families Use
Rural Identification

the Federal Agency, REA, and
are paid back with interest over
a long period OF time.
REA, the coop loan agency,
has loaned Brunswick Electric
Membership Cooperative some
$4,866,436 with which to bring
electric service to 1887 families
through approximately 1899
miles of distribution and trans
mission lines. Also a part of the
above loan was reloaned to
members of the cooperative for
the purpose of buying consumer
facilities.
The economic and social life
has progressed as a result Of
rural identification, a fact we
cannot say enough about. Elec-
trio power when fully employed
IN the farm home and on the
farm will relieve much of the
drudgery and manuel labor once
prevalent on farms OF a few
years ago. The young people,
particularly, will be effected In
their thinking by this electric
servant. For instance, through
making the farm home more at
IIactive, a place Of culture, re-
,tinement and with more leisure
hours, there will be an attraction
for the young people into re-
manning on the farm OF coming
back to take up farming as a
vocation after college training
In this way uley will contribute
their knowledge and leadership
IN the community in which they
grew up.
In this day of acreage allot-
ments, price supports and the
soil bank program, rural indust-
rlcS are playing a larger role in
the lives of farm people. Rural
electrification has had an i'm
portant part in the development
of these industries. Many mem
.berS of farm families are now
full-time employees in these
plants but still maintain their
nome on the fam and commute

Agriculture Engineer
N. &. Rural Electrification
Authority. Raleigh. n. G..


There were 100000 farms II
North Carolina in 1885 of which
an estimated 1850 had electri,
service as we know it today.
The General Assembly enact
ed law creating the Rura
Electrification Authority in the
first part of 1885 for the purpose
of promoting and encouraging
the fullest possible use of cleo
trio energy in the rural areas OF
the State. The State Department,
has worked since that time
with all agencies and groups
interested in rural electrified
ton in an effort to keep the pro-
gram moving forward on a
sound basis.
The same year the Authority
was born, the national average
of farms with electric service
was ll.6 per cent or almost three
times that of our State. For the
past several years the State has
ranked above the national aver
age until today we have over 81
per cent Of our farms served
with electric energy.
Let us review the facts con-
corning the progress made in the
area served by Brunswick Elec-
trio Membership Cooperative
namely Bladen, Brunswick, Co.
lumbuS, and Robson Counties.
The latter county in 1885 had
1873 miles of rural electric dis
trlbution lines serving &c rural
consumers yet in twenty-four
years, 1859. there are 1884 miles
of line bringing single and in
some cases three phase power to
II ,564 rural consumers.
Bladen in 1885 had SO miles
iof line and So rural consumers
while in 1859 there are ll2l
miles of line serving 1915 con-
SumcrS.
Brunswick had only 2 miles
of rural line in 1885 taking cleo
trIcity To II consumers but
twcnty-four years lin 1889 lat
err there are some 932 miles OF
line delivering 5,9l4 rural con-
Sumers electric power. Their
ineighbor
Columbus County was FORUM
ate to have 20 miles of lin,
serving al consumers in 1895
almost rs much as all three CO.
untleS here to fore mentioned
In 1859 this county can also b,
proud of its progress because g.
$40 rural families receive cleo.
trIcity delivered over lao:
miles of line. BY December 81
1885, these four counties alto
gether just had a. miles of lin,
bringing electricity to 296 rura
consumers; yet. in 1859 tn,
miles of line have grown to S.
