FRIDAY, MAY 31. fHE NEWBERRY Btm PAGE SEVEN Form County REA Authority Some 250 subscribers to rural el ectric service gathered here for a meeting Tuesday afternoon at the call of County Agent Paul B. Ezell. The^meeting was presided over by Senator M. E. Abrams who explain ed that the State REA had been dis solved and that local co-operatives would henceforth control the rural lines.
