BROWN SHOE FACTORYByPaul Fisher, Electrification Advisor

Pickwick Electric Co-op, SeImer

Mr. Homer Whittman, left, Superintendent, began workwith Brown Shoe Company in !953 as Service Operator~His next duties were as Foreman of the fitting room, and hewas appointed Assistant Superintendent of Factory "F" in1966. In 1967 he moved to Factory "V" as Superintendent.Mr. D. [. Ho!ohan, right, moved to Selmer in t955 as Fore-man and in t957 he was promoted to Assistant Superinten-dent. "~’hey are holding a picture of Mr. A. C. BushorhGenerG[ Superintendent, who was Superintendent o~ Fadory"V" when it opened in 1947.

More than three quarters of a century ago ilnsmall two-story building on the riverfront of St.there was born a business which represented the begin-ning of Brown Shoe Company. it was a smal! c~m-pany with only five skilled workers to startThe initial capacity was about 150 pairs of s;5oes perday, and the annual sales voIume was about$110,000.00.

In 1893 sales increased and the company grewstronger. Expanding production forced the company ~oexpand several times. By 1907 five large factorieswere built in St. Louis. From a modest beginningfigure of $110,000.00 in 1878, sales volume roserapidly and steadily to a totaI of more imam$265,000,000.00 at the present time, and employ-ment from 5 persons to approximately 15,000.

Brown Shoe has plants located in Canada, Arkansas.Missouri, Mississippi, Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee.The Brown Shoe lines, consisting of men’s, women’sand children’s shoes, are sold from coast to coast andin many foreign countries. Since 1907 all new fac-tories have been built outside the city of St. Louis ofwhich two of Brown’s 32 shoe making plants are inSelmer - Factory "V" and Factory "F".

Factory ~’V", with 43,880 square feet of floor space,began operations in 1947 and from then until October1952 had manufactured 4,038,524 pairs of shoes,using a total of 8,077,048 feet of leather. Productionfor the year 1952 was 833,135 pmrs of shoes peryear as compared to approximately 1,000,000 pairstoday. Factory "V" has an annual, payrollof $1,924,00.00.

Because of the aggressiveness and ingenuity of GeorgeWarren Brown in the late 1800’s, there are 51i em-ployees at Brown Shoe Factory ~V" now enjoying themany advantages, such as better homes, transportationfood and c]oLhing, given to them by Brown Shoe.

Factory F, located on 45 Highway north of ~qmer.is similar to Factory V. It has 650 employees and a:~annual payrool of $2,500,000.00, with productionat 5.000 pairs of shoes per day.

Pickwick Electric Co-op is happy to be the supplierof etectric power to both the "V" and "F" factories.which it does in the average amount of 250.000 kilo-watt hours each month,

After the upper portion of the shoe has been completed~it is then passed to Howard Willis where he attaches thesole. Howard sews on approximately 1,000 soles per day.

When the shoe reaches Preston King it is almost finished.Preston puts the final touches to the sole of the shoe. Ex-pert hands assure a smooth, even finish.

Perhaps you%~e seen the statement "A GoldMedalBon Home means better living for yourfarrfily." Many of our nation’s leading magazineshave used ads and stories about the Gold MedallionHome. Have you wondered what a Gold MedallionHome is?

The Gold Medallion is the symbo! of electricalexcellence in homes. It is awarded only by powerdistributors to home builders who meet rigidstandards for wiring, lighting and electrical equip-ment. These standards, however, are adaptable toany home-old or new, large or small. The objec~of the program is to create a home that will beboth comiortable and convenient, since electrieheat-ing and air conditioning, oombined with aharmonious pattern of electric living centers, addup to a more comfortable home and contributeto easier housework°

Each power distributx)r has a set of nationalstandards which is used for checking for a GoldMedallion. However, additional local standards maybe required by some power distributors, so ratherthan list the standards our Co-op used, I want totake you on a tour through the home of Mr. andMrs. Harry Belcher, on Lebanon Road, Route 3,Murfreesboro, to point out some excellent ways inwhich the Gold Medallion requirements contribute toease of living in their home.

Mr. Belcher is Merchandising Representative inthe Middle Tennessee zone for the Kroger Company.The contractor who build his house is GilbertMcClanahan.

First in importance might be adequate wiring,since it is necessary to have an adquate serviceentrance for your house to have sufficient electricalcapacity for operating all of the electrical equipmentand appliances at peak efficiency. Middle Tennessee

Mrs. Belcher shows the 200-amp circuit breaker serviceentrance in their garage° which includes special circuits formaior appliances, for the heating and cooling system andfar ampJe euflets and switches throughout ~he house,

M~dd|e Tennessee Electric Membership Corpora~on

The Belchers’ home is heated and coo~ed by a Fed~ers r,e~tpump which Mrs. Belcher shows.

Electric requires a 200-amp service entrance plusminimum wiring standards to meet the !oea~ code,

Next is the heating and cooling systern. To meetthis requirement, a central system of heating andcooling is desirable, The Belchers used a 4Fedders heat pump installed by Felix Brown TinShop, but some Medallion homes use a combinationof individual heaters and window air conditionersto furnish adequate heating and cooling throughou~the house. Your power distributor will be gladcalculate the heating and cooIing capacity neededfor your particular house.

Third is lighting. We have set minimum standardsfor general lighting throughout the house, and forcertain specific areas. In the accompanyingpictures which we took at the Belchers, we showthree such areas: the fixture in an enclosed shower;the undercabinet lighting in the sewing-utility roormand the undercabinet lighting in her kitchen.

In the kitchen, the national standard requirementsinclude the electric refrigerator, the automatic dish-washer, and the electric range. Mrs. Belcher hasall of these. Her electric cooking equipment includessurface units and 2 ovens. The upper oven has an

Ralph Shrauner has reason .to smile. He lets the electrically-poweredin the stack. This enables him to get the hay up and out of the fieldwere baled. And it’s all done sitting down.

IInterested in closing the~cutting-to-putting-up" time gapof haying by a day or more?

Do you have difficulty in get-ting qualified hired heIp~or evenjust anyone--to help you whenbaling hay?

Would you like to cut the costof getting alfalfa out of the field--and with a higher retention offoliage ?

And would you like to "put upthe .alfalfa" while sitting down,never once having to physicallyhandle it?

If your answer is yes to anyof these, consider field choppingalfalfa and drying it in the stackwith an electric hay dryer.

It was the above reasons thatinfluenced Ralph Shrauner of Pro-tection to make the change tofield chopped alfalfa and he’s gladhe did.

Now in the second year ofharvesting and storing choppedalfalfa, Shrauner finds feeding thechopped hay easier to handle andinvolves less labor than baledhay. By loading the chopped hayinto the feed wagon with the silageand grain, separate handling ofalfalfa is eliminated.

The ease and speed of puttingup and storing chopped alfalfareceived much emphasis fromShrauner. Since the chopped al-falfa will be air dried in the stack,it can be field chopped with amoisture content as high as 35per cent. This can easily slasha day or more from the lengthof time that alfalfa must cure inthe field.

By coupling a truck to the en-silage cutter, one trip across thewindrowed crop picks up, chopsand loads the alfalfa. With oneman on the cutter, one driving

the truck between the field andthe location of the hay stack andone person stacking the hay,storage of the alfalfa can be com-pleted virtually as soon as thecrop is out of the field.

"When we’ve finished choppingthe hay, it’s out of the field,"said Shrauner. "There are nobales left in the field to get in."Many farmers would envy this.,

Getting a ton of hay per acre,Shrauner field chops 40 to 45acre s a day. "And our haying dayis much shorter than the usuallong haying day," he said.

The chopped hay is evenlystacked over a slotted A-frameair tunnel into 24x80 foot stacks.The air tunnel is positioned inthe center and does not extendcompletely t~ the ends of thestack. Eighty tons of choppedhay is the maximum amountwhich can be stored on Shrauner’s

fan air dry the chopped alfalfaat least a day sooner than if it

A-frame to assure completedrying of the hay.

The A-frame air tunnel whichdirects the moving air is 60 feetlong and tapers from a sevenfoot triangle at the front of Vhestack where the electric fan ispositioned to a five and. one-halffoot triangle at the back. Hh~gedtogether in three 20-foot seoVionsthe A-frame is on skids and canbe pulled out and re-used as theair tunnel of another stack. Madeof wood, the slotted A4~ametunnel can be made from severaldifferent available plans.

Shrauner uses a 7½ hp singlephase 48-inch electric fan puging26,000 cubic feet of air per minuteunder one inch static pressure todry the hay.

To determine when the hay isdried, the fan is turned off for aperiod of 12 to 24 hours. A quickwalk-around with the fan turnedon enables one to detect possibleheating by its distinctive odor.If additional drying is required,the fan is alternately turned onand off for 12 to 24 hour periodsuntil drying is completed.

Shrauner has not had anyspoilage on his stacks and attri-butes it in part toproper stackingand allowing no one on the stack.The electric fan should be ~urnedon when the first load of choppedhay is put on the air tunnel andthe chopped hay must be uni-formly spread as the s~ack iscons tructed.

If you want to throw away thebale hook, put up alfalfa quickerwith less labor involved and alower field cost, or ff hay storageis a problem, field chopping ofgreen alfalfa and drying it elec-triealIy may be the answer foryou too.

RECENT FARM PRICE SHIFTS REFLECTSUPPLY CHANGES

Some recent events in the market place tend to confirmthe basic characteristics of farm price shi.fts in relation toci-,e~ges in supply, or even threats of a supply change,observes a University of Tennessee agricultural economist.

"Price changes are always greater than supply changes,"sa}s Eugene Gambill, Extension associate agriculture econo-mist. ~’Or~ stated another way, changes in supply ore oMaysm~,ch !ass than changes in price."

Th~ weakness and decline in high-protein winter wheatprkes in the last two weeks o.f April, when rain was reportedin some of the day areas of Colorado~ Kansas and akin-home, illustrates the above statement, says Gambilh Al-though the extent and amount of rain was not known untilJaie~, prices of high-protein winter wheat dropped 8 to 10cen!s in tess than two weeks.

[~ ’~ater developed that the amount of rain was insufficient~c ~arove the prospects generally for this wheat and came!oc !eie to help at all in some places/’ he adds.

/-~~cther example is the recent sharp climb in hog prices~,:h~ r~ suppiies of slaughter hogs began to drop, he coninues.Eslimates of the Decembeer-January-February pig cropdiceted that sfa.ughter hog supply could not be expected toe~:pand unt[i fall. Chicago prices for number t and 2 hogs

~Similor examples occur almost every year, especially withthose products which have no price support or’ which arepriced above current support levels," points out GambilL

CITES REA$OhIS FOR KEEP|I~DHrA RECORDS

The importance of keeping DHIA records is becoming moreand more e~4dent: declares V. D. Parsons~ assistant anumaJhusbandman with the University of Tennessee AgriculturalExtension Service.

in ~965-66 the average U. S. DHJA cow was superior inmilk yield to all cows by 4668 poinds or 6"~ per cent. In~965~66 the average Tennessee DHIA cow was superior inmilk yield to all Tennessee cows ry 4470 pounds or 50per cent. With milk in Tennessee DHIA herds that averaged$5.37 per cwt., this superiority amounts to a yearly grossincome advantage of $240 per cow o~ $~2~000 for a 50-cowherd~ These .statistics dearly demonstrate the importance andresults of participating in Dairy Herd Improvement Associa-tion work, Parsons says.

The U. S. DHIA cow was fed an average of 4500 pounds ofconcentrotes~ ]0~800 pounds silage~ and 3600 pounds dryforage. The Tennessee DHI~ cow was fed an average of4000 pounds concentrates, ] 0~700 pounds silage, and 22000pounds dry forage°

"It is obvious that the Tennessee DHIA cow was not fedas much as the U. S. DH~A cow," Parsons continues. "Thisis one of the reasons why lennessee DHIA cows produced]0~270 pounds of milk and 412 pounds of fat in 1966 com-pared to !2,I27 pounds of milk and 462 pounds of fal forthe U. S. DHiA cow."

Milk production for U. S. DHIA cow has increased consis~tenfly since 1957 at a rate of 223 pounds per cow per year.During the same period the Tennessee DHIA cow has anincrease of 255 pounds per cow per year. It appears thaiwithin eight years the average Tennessee DH~A cow canbe at the same level of production as the U. S. averageDHIA cow. The average ~ennessee caw has increased 155pounds milk per cow Per year compared fa 22! poundsmilk per cow per year for oi! cows Ln U° S. since 1957.

What can DH[A do for you? Nothing unless the recordsare used to ($) feed mare nearlyto ihe cows needs, [2)unprofitabie cows. (3i elect future herd replacements, (4) setgoais of production for each month and year and worktowald achieving these goals, Parsons condudes.

~Editor’s Note: Nations, the ma-jority of whose citizens arepoorlyeducated, whose standards of liv:ing are extremely low, and whosefutures look far from bright--suchnations are often the ones whichare subject to attack, either mili-tarily or with such ideologies asCommunism. Our Federal Govern-ment has long recognized this, asevidenced by its foreign air pro-grams~ but it wasn’t until a fewyears ago that an agency of theGovernment, the Agency for In-ternational Development, in coop-eration with the National RuralElectric Cooperative Association,launched a concerted campaign tohelp eledtr~fy unserved areas ofthese underdeveloped nations,meaning the rural~ Oillage andsmall town areas~ many of whoseresidents have never seen an eled-tric light. At least two Tenness-eans~ Paul Tidwell, Manager ofMeriwether Lewis Electric Co-op,Centerville, and J. C. Hundley&Manager of the Tennessee Elec-tric Cooperative Association,Nashville;" have made overseastrips to conduct surveys prelimin-ary to rural dlectrification in thenations which they visited. Otherco-op officials throughout our na-tion have given of their time andtalents to help bring the blegsingsof electricity to underdevelopednations throughout the world. Theelectrification program of onesuch nation, South Vietnam, hasone cooperative energized andothers nearing that stage. Thestory which follows, in two install-manta, is the story of rural elec-trification in South Vietnam, ablessing which can help so manypeople ~n this small, underdevel-oped nation as an instrument forprogress which is preceding thepeace for which we hope and prayfor this and for all nations every-where.)

Rural electrification is comingto Vietnam. It can’t happen soonenough for approximately 42,500families who will become membersof three recently-founded cooper-atives in the war-torn country,To these people, who rely onlan%ps for light and who generatepower by the use of strong armsand legs.~ the prospect of electric

power is an exciting one.Already one hamlet near Dalat,

174 miles north of Saigon, hasbeen energized, while .anotherhamlet nearby is currently beingwired for electricity. Only the de-layed completion of a pole-treat-ing plant is preventing the elec-trification of other hamlets whoseinhabitants have already joinedinto cooperative associations. Sofar, there are 19,950 paid-upmembers.

The idea of taking electric pow-er to a pro-selected group of Viet-namese families was discussed in19~5, when President Johnsonpromised that the U. S. govern-ment would help complete an elec-trification program. The NationalRural Electric Cooperative Asso-ciation (NRECA) had formulatedplans for such a program follow-ing arrival of its representativesin Vietnam in 1965.

Under the NRECA plan, carriedout under a non-profit contractwith the Agency for InternationalDevelopment (AID), three distri-bution cooperatives were formedin Vietnam in 1965.

The largest cooperative hasbeen established approximately90 miles south of Saigon, at LongXuyen, where 25,000 families willbenefit from the new electricpower. As there is no readysource of electricity at Long

Xuyen, two 1500 kw generatorsare now being installed. The gen-erators where shipped to Saigon,loaded into trucks, and taken byconvoy along a Viet Cong-con-trolled highway to their destina-tion.

A second cooperative has beenestablished at Tuyen Duc,a vegetable growing area northof Saigon. In addition tohundredsof small farms, a large tea plan-tation is located at Tuye~ Duc.where approximately 10,000 f~m-flies and associated industrieswfl! recieve electric power~

A third cooperative isonly 20 miles northeast ofon Highway One, This co~p~ra-tive has been set up in theTu district; only a few m~.esthe giant new American r;~_fiitarybase of Long Binh.

Duc Tu is composed of 16 ham-lets in which approximately %families will eventually have elec-tric power. According to the coop-erative advisor, Louie E. Sansing~a former co-op manager fromHamburg, Arkansas, the onlything holding up electrification isthe lack of poles.

"These people are reallyious and they keep asking whythe delay." Mr. Sansing said. Hisjob is to keep in touch with theboard members, help advise thecooperative, and act as liaison

With Electric HeatYou Do Have A Choice

By F!oyd Roberts, Electrification AdvisorGibson Co. Elect’it Member Corporation

(Editor;s Note: A story on electric heating maybe more %omfortable" in mid-winter than in mid-summer, but actually it’s very timely now in thatit gives you enough, but not too much, time tothink about, to plan for and to have installed oneof the types of electric heating discussed in thisstory. Remember, your home will require someheating in fewer than three months. If you arebuilding, adding to or up-grading the heating ofyour home, why not make it electric? Then youKNOW you have the best!)

Today, many of the new homes being builtthroughout the country are demanding a centralsystem of heating and cooling even tho there aremany other ways to heat and cool our homes, elec-trically. For the greater part of this article, wewill be discussing mostly central systems consistingof electric furnace and cooling combinations, heatpumps and central cooling, and individual roomheating.

Many who are building, remodeling~ or convertingfrom one system to another are asking thequestion, "Which is the best system to install inmy case"? It is our hope that this information willbe helpful in familiarizing you with the differenttypes of central heating and cooling availabletoday. Most of Tennessee’s cooperatives provide aservice free of charge to’members in helping themplan and provide the proper system for their homes.You will find them happy to be of service to you.

First let’s discuss the central electric furnace andcooling combination which resembles the heatpump, but relies entirely on resistance heatingelements rather than taking heat from the outsideair as does the heat pump. A central heating andcooling system of this type consists of a compressorand condensing coil which in most cases are mount-ed outside. The ~furnace" and cooling coils aremounted in some out-of-the-way place such as thecorner of your garage, closet, attic utility room orbasement.

Please refer to the pictures that accompany thisarticle which will give you a pictorial view as thesedifferent systems are discussed.

In picture NO. !, E. J. Gill, area supervisor forthe Gibson Electric Membership Corporation,proudly poi~nts to the heating and cooling com-ponents of his central electric furnace and coolingsystem. I,ooking from top to bottom you will notefirst his return air duct system. Next is the airhandling unit consisting of a 1/2 hp. motor andfan. Directly below is 15,000 watts of heat (al!that is required for his 1275 square foot home).Directly below the heating coils are his 3-ton cool-ing coils that are connec.ted to a compressormoun~ed outside. Below his cooling coils is an airplenum that transports the heated or cooled air tothe duct system for individual room comfort,

These systems~ often referrrd to as a split

system, can also be purchased in a so-called pack-age unit with compressor and other componentsmounted in the same package.

The unit shown here may be installed hor~ontaJtyor vertically, with either upflow or downflow of airsupply. Th~s particular unit is mounted vert~cailywith a downflow air system.

A sysVem of ghis gype may be purchased up to5 ~ons c.f cooling and 30,000 watts of heating.

For year-round comfort, there’s no better systemthan the heat pump. It automatically warms youre~otire home in the winter and cools in thesummer. This is possible because of a central unitwhich blows warmed or cooled air through ducts toindividual rooms.

Picture No. 3 shows one of the first heat pumps~o be installed in the area served by Gibson Elec-tric~ and it has given trouble-free service since itsinstallation in January 1959. This unit was installedat the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. (Jess) Thompsonin the Fairview community near Kenton, Tennessee.The Thompsons, by the way, were the first GibsonCo. Co-op members to have a totally electricallyheated home. This dates back some twenty yearsprevious to the heat pump when their home wasadaquately heated with space heaters which gavethem many years of service and are Still in work-ing condition today.Both installations were installed by E.C.

(Froggie) Tilghman, Trenton electrical contractorand dealer, who was raised by Mr. and Mrs. Thomp-son. Mr. Thompson states that his space heatershave been 100% satisfactory and that he has hadno repairs or maintenance on them except oneblown fuse. His only reason for changing systemswas his desire for summer comfort also.

A heat pump is in many ways simnar to thecentral farnace and air conditioner except for thefact the compressor can be reversed for wintertimeuse. By so doing, a portion of the h~at for comfortis taken from the outside air, and the additionalheat needed for extremely cold weather is suppliedby resistance coils installed in the duct systems.

Mr. Thompson is shown by his compressor andcondenser unit which was installed outside to elimi-nate the noise.

In picture No. 4 Mr. Thompson points to hisair handling unit which also contains the coils forsummertime cooling use and also provides forheat for winter comfort. To the left (see arrow)you will note the supplemental heating coils in-stalled in the duct system to provide extra heatwhen necessary.

There have been complaints of high maintenancecost on heat pumps; but if properly installed, thismaintenance cost can be reduced considerably.Should you plan installing a heat pump, it is advis-able to get a reliable dealer who is capableof laying out a well-designed duct system. Thisseems to be one of the trouble spots, especially thereturn air duct. Considerable improvements havebeen made in the electric controls, thus making theheat pump much more desirable than ever before.

Another type of central system owned by KennethSims, Rutherford, Tennessee, is shown in pictureNo. 5. Mr. Sims’ first decision was to install a heatpump in his new home, but he later decided touse central cooling and individual room heat. Heis shown by his 4-ton compressor, condenser, andcooling coils incased in a single package mountedoutside his residence. The air is delivered to eachroom by a well-designed duct system that deliverscooled air and returns, to the unit, warm air whichhas been filtered. Mr. Sims holds a sample of hisduck material that has a fiber glass insulationinside. This eleminates the need for external insula-tion, when thick enough.

Your Safety IsAim Of New Laws

~we of the many bilts passedi:~v the 85vh General Assembly ofTer~uessee were aimed directly ati?roviding mere safety for the.:)~ ople of our state. Though theydid not cause as much discussiona~ some of the bills on taxation,~..,~4dch affected our pocketbook)t:bese laws could be much morev~uable in savings of both prop-,-rtW and human life.

For a Rrst hand interpretation~-,f ~hese new laws, and how they¯ ,.ii:l affect you~ the Tennessee?!~.ga~ine went straight ~ the:~:~ who wiL[ help administer:!.~. Mr. R. E. Ward is Chief: i ) +.ctricat Inspector for the sta~e: :~ works under Commissioner7 ~.,Ad Pack of the Department of::~.surance and Banking, in the~iiivision of Fire Prevention head-~:-5 by Mr. Fioyd M. Murphy.

7he first of these new laws (SB-2~8-HB-308) requires a supplierof eiectrical energy or gas to dis-continue such service 30 days~er a rejection, and notice of~uch, by an authorized inspector0r official from the State FireMarshall’s office, provided theowner has not corrected the de-5~ct~ve and unlawful conditions5ur~ng such 30 day grace period.

This law became effective May~, 1967. It amends an existingt£w (Section 53-2417, Tennessee(ode Annotated) which gave the~upplier permission to discon-::mue these services when hazard-o~s conditions were found bye~ther a representative of thesupplier or the State ~ire Marsh-all. The new law makes discon-nection of service mandatory byt]~e supplie~" and invokes the pen-~t3~ of the law for any supplierof electrical energy or gas whofails to do so.

[~ answer to a question on how~he new law would affect elec-trical inspections, Mr. Ward citedt-hree sit~aations:

( ~ ) "Where a supplier of elec-tricity requires an approved in-spection certificate of an installa-~i.:,n before his sere’ice is connect-ed. tk~s law will not apply, unlessvia!at[arts are added at a later

W&rd further stated thatmy opinion, this procedure is byfar the best, but I am fully aware

967

Here is sample copy of rejection notice which wil! be issued by Deputy StateEtectric~l inspectors ~o users not in compliance with new law. The notice giveso 30-day period for making corrections.

that in some situations it cancause a small inconvenience tothe owner. This fact has promp-ted a few suppliers to connecttheir service before inspections."

(2) "It is these new installa-tions, connected to the servicebefore inspection, and by theowner’s permission, to which thenew law has its greatest appli-cation", said Mr. Ward.

"Effective immediately the in-spector of those installationswhich do not meet the safetystandards of the law or regula-tions will issue a Rejection Reportwhich will be marked "30 DayNotice". Copies of this report willbe given to the electric supplierand the proper person for theinstallation involved. At the endof the 30 day grace period, andupon having not received a cor-rection notice and approval fromthe inspector, the electric sup-plier SHALL disconnect the ser-vice from the installation." Thisis MANDATORY!

(3) In a third instance, Mr.Ward cited that ’~where an exist-ing installation is thought to behazardous, and upon request ofthe proper person, an inspectionwill be made. Here again, theinspector upon finding conditionscontra .ry to the safety regulationsof the law wi]] issue the sameRejection Report marked ~30Day NoticeL The supplier of elec-Vricity will have the same man-datory provisions for disconnect-ion as given for a new installa-tion.~;

in referring to the other safe~"

measure passed by the 85th Gen-eral Assembly, Mr. Ward saidthat it (SB-267-HB-290) requiresa certification of electrical andheating facilities in mobile homes,travel trailers, or other such pre-fabricated units prior to theirsale.

This could be accomplished atthe factory by a recognized test-ing agency or laboratory, orTennessee manufacturers of mob-ile homes may have inspectionmade at their plant by an author-ized representative of the StateFire Marshall Dealers handlingequipment manufactured outsidethe state and not previously ap-proved shall have these units in-spected and approved by a repre-sentative of the State Fire Mar-shall before they are sold.

This law does not become effec-tive until September 1, 1967.A series of meetings are plannedfor July and August, in whichthe utility suppliers, mobile homemanufacturers, dealers, and trail-er park operators will meet withrepresentatives of the Fire Mar-shall to discuss procedures foraccompIishing the intent of thislaw.

For those who are seeking toinstall "the best"-these laws willhave no effect. For those who areseeking only to "get by"- theselaws will "show their teeth". Foryou, the user-these laws meansafety for both property and life.Your Tennessee Electric Co-

operative Association is proud tohave been a co-sponsor of bothof these b~s.
