TWENTY-FOUR YEARS' OV-PROGRESS1.By J. C. JONES, Manager'
pIwie County Public uprary.
Davie Electric Membership Corporation
(Editor's Note .... At a recent meeting of
Z
the Mocksville Rotary Club, J. C. Jones,
�.
Manager of the Davie Electric Membership
Corporation, traced the history and' pro-
gress of that organization from it's begin-
ning 24 years ago to today. Believing it to
be of interest to a large number of citi-
zens, we asked Mr. Jones for permission to
print this review. It appears below in the
words of Mr. Jones) .
I want to-do a little reminiscing with
you or at least a part of you, since a great
many of you were still wearing short pants
twenty-four years ago. A few farmers in
Davie County who were desperately in need
of electric service and unable to -get power.
in the fall of 1938 got together and pro-
ceeded to form the Davie Electric Mem-
bership Corporation. They were successful.'
in this effort, securing a charter from the
Secretary of State on January 14, 1939,
securing a loan in the -amount of $200,= i •
000.00 from the Rural Electrification Au-
thority and started construction -in the ,
spring of 1939. The first lines were com- '
pleted and energized September 28, 1939.
There being at that time approximately
1
225 miles of line serving about 650 mem-•1
bers with electric service. The average l
power consumption for the first month l
was approximately 16 KW -H. I
These lines covered a goodly portion
of the rural suctions of Davie County, the :
southern edge of Yadkin County; the
northeastern edge of Iredell County, an
area that we consider the general trade
area of Mocksville. Today in this same
geographical area we serve approximately
450 -miles of line serving approximately ;
2900 members or consumers whose power
consumption this past month averaged a
little over 500 KWH. This is a fantastic
increase; however, it is true.
The first twelve%(12) months that we I
had our lines in operation, we paid the '
Duke Power Company $5,750.00 for power.
During the present twelve (12) months;
we will pay the Duke Power Company ap-
proximately $380,000.00 for power.

4 -H -A CHALLENGE TO LEADERSHIP
"4-H is a way of life for u11 who care to
travel -the 4-H trall,', says L. R. Harrill,
state 4-H Club leader. "It will lead -to new
Challenging experiences,, to knowledge that
Will sharpen the imagination, and to skills
that Challenge the ingenuity of youth-"
Harrill says that during National 4-H
Club Week, March 2-9 many girls and boys
will be' recognized for their outstanding
accomplishments in 4-H Club work.
"The great challenge to leadership is
a belief in the phMorsophy that what 4-11
does for a boy or a girl is more important
than what -the 'boy or gir•1 does for 4�H,"
adds Harrill. "This was so well defined in
a statement by a former 4-H member who
is now a college student. The student said,
'Trips, awards, pins, certificates 'and other
material gams -become insigndficant as I
attempt to determine my most noteworthy
accomplishment as a local 4-H member.
Becoming -an asset to my farn!dy by acquir-
ing skills, making various improvements
about the home, providing skills and valu-
able knowledge to others through demons-,
trations and activities are salbisfying to me.
Consequently, my noteworthy accomplish-
ment as a 4-H member is revealed—the
finding of a vo=tional direction and pur
pose of my life.'
"There are many compenisations for
service to others, but -the highest reward
for leadership is not what one gives but
what 'he bocom+es because of int," declares
Harrill. "In- the role of ; leadership, we need
to remember to be ourselves, to begin where
we are., to use our talents and to remember
that we cannot live and progress on re-
flected glory of past achievement. We grow
inbo greatness as we build on past accom-
plishments."

Three Local Girl Scouts, Leader—
To Attend Roundup In Idaho
Onc �o1 51 IQG.g—
f tl"ie great adventures in Girl Scouting is almost at
hand for three Mocksville girls and one leader.
As members of the Pilot Area Girl Scout Council's Roundup
Patrol, they have left for the 1965 Girl Scout Senior Roundup in
Farragut, Idaho. 'There art- 24 Seniors in the Patrol.
Liz Evans, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Evans; Peggy -
Sanford, slaughter of Mr. and .11rs. Jack Sanford; and Caroline
(Tut) Sanford, daughter of '11r. and lits. Gaither Sanford, left
Monday morning, July 11 ,at 7:30 a.m. by special train from
Winston-Salem for the trip.
Its addition to the three Senior (girl Scouts, Mrs. Gaither
Sanford left by plane Sunday morning for the Roundup where
site will serve as a troop advisor. She will stay in a tent with
another advisor from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She will not be
with the local Girl Scouts at the encampment but is assigned
to four troops of girls from New Hampshire, Virginina, Missouri
and Oklahoma.
Patrol members have spent many week -ends working on
tent pitching, eharcoal cookery, first aid, cleanup, music, foreign
langauge ;,-rectings and rope lashing.
The Roundup girls will travel with Scouts from the South-
eastern United States. Enroute they will tour Chicago and will
spend one clay touring Yellowstone 'National Park.
'store than 9,000 girls and 2,000 adults from every state
in the United States and from 45 other countries will make up
this "teen -city" which will spring up almost overnight. They
will join in a wide variety of activies centering around the
Roundup slogan, "On the Trail of Tomorrow," a reminder
of the colorful history of the 'Northwest.
Many of the pioneers who opened up the great Northwest
traveled through Idaho—including the fatuous Lewis and Clark
Expedition of 1805 which blazed the Oregon Trail.
The Gfirl Scouts will be reminded at every moment of the
historical significance of this part of the country. The Roundup
site, a 5,000 -acre area on the shores of Lake Pend Oreille at the
foot of Bitterroot Mountains, provides a majestic setting for
the Girl Scouts to be pioneers themselves and to blaze their''
own "Trail of Tomorrow." . .
The location, formerly the Farragut Naval Training Station,
is 50 miles east of Spokane, Washington.
CAMP14VG PLANS
Campers will represent many faiths and every race. During
the encampment they will be learning, living and working to-
gether towards the enrichment of the common goal of mutual
understanding.
There are eight girls in one patrol, 32 girls in a troop, and
eight troops in a camp. In each camp there will be two troops
containing international visitors.
Each Roundup patrol will be prepared to do a skit, dance,
cooking demonstration, or a demonstration of some other type
that represents the industry, history, or culture of its home
community. Tile Pilot Area Patrol will make tobacco baskets,
show tine tobacco growing and selling process from plant bed
to auctioneer and make Moravian candles.
While the Girl Scouts themselves will be setting up an
"Instant city," actualy- a year -and -half of planning and work
will have gone into the preparation for the multitude of
facilities needed—roadways, a - water supply system, electric
power, telephones, a parking lot for 3,000 visitors' cars, provisions
for security, traffic control, fire protection and sanitation, and
even a united States post office sub -station.
Three resident chaplains—Jewish, Protestant and Roman
C'atholie—twill attend to the spiritual needs of the callipers.

vived around *title- ItoitWditp camp re.. ""`Tilts 1e— ,tft= irvl 41
ritual which once was the basis for till social life of the Nort•Er-
west Coastal Indians. The small handmade articles -which -will

From Notes of Prof. J. D. Hodges Around 1920—
The Value Of Masonry to the United State:
By GORDON TOMLL130,11
What has been the value of blas

Many years ago the late Professoi
J. D. Hodges of Davie County dh
some research into this subject. Thi:
is notes written by this scholar h
longhand that recently cane into aty
pmsesslon. This subject and Pro
teswr Hodges' material has proven
so Interesting to me, that 1 am
attempting to weave It into a stir
and pass it along.
In the very beginning of the strug.
ale of this nation for independence

and hopes. inspired by the teachings

and excess personal" ambition anrwag
the leaders of those perilious days.
This secured cordial and more own-
pleto cooperation, of all that were
engaged in the doubtful and haeaud.
ous undertaking of securing Amer-
ican independence.
The idea of a union of the Amer-
ican Colonies was first suggested
by the first Provincial Grand diaster.
Right Worshipful Daniel Coxe, as a
means of common defense agatatt
the Indians.
It was again brought forward by
the Right Worshipful Benjamin
Franklin at the Albany Conference
in 17M when the danger of the
French and Lathan War seemed emi.
nent. With that menace averted by
the conquest of Canada. the plan
of Brothers Coxe and Franklin for
a colonial union might never have
been revived bad England adopted
a policy of wise conciliation
One portion of Professor Hodges
notes points out that in these days
the principles of Free Masonry ex.
erted a far greater influence among
the soldiers in the army than among
ci%-W=s. He attributes it to the fact
that General Washington evinced
great interest in Masonry and on.
couraged his soldiers to hold mrd.
rdght sessions wherever and when-
ever practical.
"He, himself. often attended these
meetings. He often summoned his
Masonic generals in secret, con-
clavo to discuss military conditions
and expediences." said Professor
Hodges.
"And again I quote the exact
words of history In refering to the
soldiers ... In their battles upon
the soil of the Colonies, other tbae t
their own. they cemented with their
blood their devotion to the common'
need. They learned under Washing-
ton as Commander -in -Chid the great,
advantages of unity of control. As;
Brother Masons they freely Inter-
mingled. exchanged views and re
-1
conflicting opinions. As
Free Masons they learned to know.
to trust. and to love one another".

Through a tractless forest of 500
miles, infested by hostile, wild Ind-
ians, he plunged his swimming
horse into bridgeless rivers until
he reached his destination. Rettum-
ing by the same dangerous route,
he 'accomplished his perilous miss-
ion to the complete satisfaction of
Gov. Dinwiddie.
Some years later, at this same
place Fort DuQuesne, a battle was
fought by the English Army against
the French and Indians. Washing-
ton, Aid -de -Camp to the British Gen-
eral Braddock, advised this super-
ior to fight -the Indian fashion. Dis-
daining the advice of young Wash-
ington, he drew up his battle lines
in approved continental style, was
mortally wounded, and his army de-
feated. Washington- saved the rem-
nant of the army by the tactics of
common sense.
Twenty-one years Iater, the De-
claration of Independence was made
and Washington, a Mason, was W
pointed Commander -in -Chief of the
Cohinial Armies.
Froblan Policy
Washington well knew that with his
unclad, unfed, untrained, unequip-
ped militia, he was not prepared
to risk a general engagement. He
therefore wisely adopted the Fro-
bian policy fust used by the Ro-
man General Frobious -Maximus
when his country was invaded by
the renowned engagement by re -
point to point, until the patience or
the invading foe should be warn
out and the resources of the in-
vading army should be exhausted.
Washington continually followed
this policy except when hecould
'detach-
ment
un
slip upon suspecting detach-
ment of the enemy and wear it out
before aid could corse from the
main army at Trenton and other
points.
This Frobian policy prolonged the
war through long years. thus woray-

The' following -athree of
such articles:
The Wilson Home
By MRS. WOODROW J. WILSON
Our desire for a wide open in-
terior that retained privacy yet
made the most of the outdoor.
seemed to be contradictory, but
the results we have achieved tel
a different story.
From the living room, there b
an uninterrupted view to the
family room, dining room, ant
to the rear patio and yard bey.
ond. Open planning in the livtni
area and kitchen contributes to
an informal atmosphere. The study
bedrooms and baths are isolated
from the living area affording
complete privacy.
The ample garage and base-
ment provide adequate storage
space, and a utility room and half
bath separating the garage and
kitchen is a most convenient fea-
ture.
The house is constructed of
brick and would be considered of
contemporary design.
Taynullt
Residence of
Mr. and Mrs. George Martin
By MRS. GEORGE MARTIN
Taynuilt received its name from
the little village in the Scottish
highlands where we were engaged
to be married. Written about by
the poet Barns, it translates from
Gaelic as "home by the stream".
Although we began consulting
an architect, Mr. William Sprinkle
of Durham in 1956, a basic con-
flict between modern and tradi-
tional appeared early and delayed
any concrete plans or ideas. At
last we compromised on the ar-
chitecture known as "Monterey"
and Taynuilt was designed along
this line. This type of architecture
provides for spacious windows and
simple lines while preserving a
traditional quality.
In 1958 the plans for Taynuilt
were completed and Mr. W. R.
Davis agred to build it for us.
Originally staked out in April,
Taynuilt was ready for us to move
into on Washington's birthday in
1959.
Our plan calls for two construe -
tion projects in addition to the
original house. One of these, a
garage was added to the north
end of the house in 1961, while
the other, which provides for a
stady, bathroom and downstairs
bedroom, remains to be added to
the south end of the house.
The house is built on a 40 -acre
tract of land which is as yet
largely undeveloped. Although a
minimum amount of landscaping
has been done, our plans call for
a small fishing pond in front of
the house and a tennis court to
the side of the house.
We enjoy gardening and rais-
ing animals and we are looking
forward to developing our home
and property.
THE SLATE HOME
By Mrs. Francis W. Slate
Our home, which we have oc-
cupied for a year dow. was built
by H. R. Hendrix. Jr., of Mocks-
ville. Our lot was Part of the
Hanes Estate.
Rome building is exciting —
clipping ideas from newspapers
and magazines. mental pictures of
other homes visited and building
manuals. This we have been do-
ing for 12 years. The year prior
to building was spent sorting out,
discarding some, and putting oth-
ers together.
,Our ranch style home is white
rock face brick with Carolina
stone, from Mt. Airy. There are
several built-in features. incUud-
ing a "fall -out shelter" [not com-
plete], which we hope never to
use.
We did our own interior dec-
orating which is contemporary in
design.
In short, we have a liveable
home which we plan never to have
to "add on" to.
