Power company gives disaster precautions In the tragic wake of Cam ille and other weather disasters South Carolina Electric & Gas Company is alerting its cus tomers to safety procedures and precautions to be followed dur ing and after hurricanes, tor nados and other storms. The utility has devoted its September bill staffer to a re view of safety instructions and advice intended to save lives and possessions. V. C. Summer, senior vice president, operations, pointed out that the hurricane season is not over, adding that resi dents should familiarize them selves with life-saving precau tions, including evacuation when advised by weather experts. The new mailing piece ad vise that residents pay close attention to weather bureau in structions broadcast over radio and TV. It lists the following advice: Before wind and flood (1) Have car’s gas tank filled, check battery and tries. (2) Stock up on drinking wat er and foods that need no cook ing or refrigeration. (3) Keep handy a flashlight, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, and battery-powered radio. (4) Store all loose objects and board or tape up all windows. (5) Get away from low areas that might be swept away by floods or tides. During the storm (1) Stay in doors. . .don’t be fooled if the calm “eye” passes directly over and don't be caught when the hurricane winds resume from the opposite direction. (2) Listen to radio and TV for information from the weath er bureau, civil defense, red cross and authorities. After the storm has passed: (1) Do not drive unless ne cessary. Watch out for under mined pavement and broken power lines. (2) Use extreme caution to prevent outbreak of fire, or in juries from falling objects. (3) Report downed power lines, broken sewer or water pipes to proper authorities or nearest policeman. (4) Use phones for emergen cies only. Jammed switchboards prevent emergency calls from going through.

With respect to utility opera tions, he noted that an emer gency storm manual outlines in detail standard operating procedures for company per sonnel. college rents swimming pool Newberry College and city of ficials have worked out a rent al agreement for the Margaret Hunter Swimming pool for use by college students, faculty and staff and their families during the month of September, ac cording to College President A.G D.Wiles and City Recreat ion Director P.
