LIGHTS OUT (continued)
co-op, the Board of Directors initi
ated this new policy.
Despite- the fact the change in
policy was not, enforced without
first notification to consumers by
mail, and regular pubiizing in the
Mirror for the past two months,
KEA employees have been kept
busy the past few days cutting off
power service, and of course turn
ing it back on again.
When enforcement proceedings
began, irate consumers were every
where. Manager Johnson voiced
the opinion that this is about the
time he should have left town. No
body, of course, wants be be with
out lights. Oldtimer can talk all
he wants about “the good old
days.” Junior might follow in his
father’s footsteps, as the saying
goes, but they don’t follow his out
to the wood shed or wherever he
kept the kerosene for his lamps.
Remember how the glass on that
lamp used to turn black after use
and you had to clean it with a
piece of newspaper? Or the wick
would gradually become so short
you would have to shake the lamp
once in a while to finish the last
few pages of a book you were read
ing before going to bed?
Maybe it was alright for Abe
Lincoln to read far into the night
from the glow of a burning hickory
faggot. Most of us don’t want to be
president anyway. We just like to
turn to a switch and by the press I
of a button, have all the light we
want, for reading, writing, or just
talking or listening to the radio.
The irony of the present dilemma
of the consumer who doesn’t pay
his bill is that in most cases he is
perfectly capable financially to pay
the relatively small amount. He
needs the electricity even as you
and I. He wouldn’t want to go back
to the old kerosene lamp or can
dle, any more than he would want
to go back to the old horse and
buggy days, even as attractive as
they, might seem to him when lus
present Ford, Plymouth, Dodge or
Cadillac or what have you, wont
start. He just can’t make the grade
to the KEA to pay the monthly
charge for this boon to living, as
much as he wants and need^it.
Manager Johnson reports about
fifty members delinquent, which
woyks. out to be about 4% of the
1250 consumers. Many of these
have since paid up. The deadline
is the 25th of the following month
following billing.
Lights may be one of the best
things in life, but its not one of the
best things in life that are free ap
parently.
