ANNUAL SUMMER SALE! \ Begins Thurs., June 28th Anderson s Shoe Store Mrs. Blackmon Is Honored During the 8th grade promotion exercises at Silverstreet School recently, Area Supt. J. G. Long presented a $50 bill to Mrs. Mat- tie Lou Blackmon, a gift from the faculty and students, in appre ciation for the faithful and effec tive services she had rendered the school during her many years as teacher. Mrs. Blackmon has taught first grade in the school 34 years. She taught third grade the first year she was in the system. Roger Longshore, on behalf of the eight grade, presented a check to the school to be applied on a tape recorder. Mrs. Blackmon, on behalf of the faculty, accepted the check with appropriate remarks. COMMENTS ON MSN ... (Continued from Page 2) consume enormous quantities o f fuel; but unlike steel mills, the utilities have dual purpose burners that can use either fuel. On April 1 the Department of Interior raised East Coast import quotas on residual oil to 506,889 barrels daily for the next twelve months, a 9 per cent gain from the preceding 12 months. The price of the fuel had been cut 10 cents a barrel early this year in anticipa tion of the increased quota and was dropped another 10 cents af ter the raise became effective. Since one ton of coal is usually balanced against 4.3 barrels of fuel oil for price comparisons, the oil price cuts were equivalent to 86 cents a ton of coal. That more than offsets a 10-cent-a-ton re duction coal producers agreed to give utilities in a 12-month con tract that took effect April 1. At the same time, coal is being hit mostly in the Midwest, by the customary switchover to natural gas by some utilities which occur when warm weather and lessened heating demand permit gas com panies to offer large users bar gain rates.” Holiday Notice Wednesday, July 4th Being A Legal Holiday The following Business Firms will not be open for business The public is urged to take notice of this and arrange all business accordingly.

Now we seriously study Atomic power. And, as you know, four of our Southern Companies are build ing an atomic plant in South Carolina. You’ve heard of this great project now under construc- tio nby The South Carolina Elec tric & Gas Co., The Carolina Pow er & Light Co., The Duke Power Co., and The Virginia Electric and Power Co. “The drive to develop cheap atomic power finally seems to be making some solid progress. Next month, Yankee Atomic El ectric Co. is expected to report that electricity produced by its proptotype nuclear plant at Rowe, Mass., cost 20% less than the most 1 optimistic original estimates. The ] report will cover the first 18 ' months of the plant’s operation. Across the land, Pacific Gas & Electric Co., predicts that a 325,- 000-kilowatt atomic plant it plans to start building this year at Bo dega Bay, Calif., will generate power at a slightly lower cost than a comparable conventional plant. The cost figures from Yankee Atomic and Pacific Gas mainly re flect a number of modifications in equipment design and operating techniques ,rather than any single dramatic break-through. These ad vances are significent enough to prompt some once-skeptical util ities to take a serious look at pro posals for big atomic power plants as commercial ventures. ^ In atomic power plants the heat energy created by the fission of uranium in a nuclear reactor is used to make steam to turn an electric generator. Last September, Jersey Central Power & Light Co. of Morristown, N. J., called for proposals on an atomic plant which would gene rate at least 400,000 kilowatts by 1966. An official of the Edison Electric Institute, a utility trade group, comments: ‘A year ago, it would have been inconceivable that some one would be considering that atomic power could be com petitive in New Jersey.’ Three Connecticut utilities jointly announced about two months ago that they were con sidering the building of an atomic plant with capacity of 350,000 kilo watts or more. The firms have formed the Nutmeg Electric Com panies Atomic Project and expect to start construction in 1964 and complete work by 1967. The city of Los Angeles expects to decide this summer whether to build an atomic plant in the 300,- 000 to 400,000-kilowatt range. The decision is pending an Atomic Energy Commission opinion on a proposed site for the power sta tion. Fred Fletcher, president of the Sierra Pacific Power Co. of Reno, Nev., says the utility probably will decide within 18 months whether to build an atomic plant of perhaps 100,000 ‘watching the costs of the new nuclear plants very carefully’ to see if a 100,000 kilowatt atomic plant might be warranted for the island of Oahu. Atomic power stations are near ing completion at Indian Point, N. Y., Lagoona Beach and Big Rock Point, Mich., Hallam, Neb., Sioux Falls, S. D., and Humboldt Bay, Calif. These plants, some of them built with Government financial help, are intended mainly to serve as protototypes for future com mercial atomic plants. Despite all this activity, com mercially-justified atomic power plants are still only far-removed possibilties for many sections of the country. Most of the commer cial projects under consideration are limited to areas where the prices of conventional power fuels are relatively high. And even many of these proposals couid be abandoned unless reactor makers can convince the utilities that they can match or better the cost of conventional power plants. So far, neither the Yankee plant nor the two other major prototype atomic power stations now in operation have been able to do this, nor were they expected to. The results at Yankee, however, are perhaps the most encouraging since the civilian atomic power program was launched in 1954 with the Government’s blessing and support. When Westinghouse Electric Corp. started work on the plant in 1958 it was expected that the cost of electricity might be 12 to 14 mills per kilowatt hour. ‘And that was only after four or five years of operation.’ Instead, the cost since the plant went into full operation in No vember, 1960, has been about 9.5 mills per kilowatt hour, officials say. They figure the power cost of a new, conventional steam plant in New England would rur about 8 mills per kilowatt hour.
