Rusty-red, Rex and Rem
brandt make up one of the
most spirited pet families in
town. Their owners, Roi\ and
Bea Wade, have their hands
full to say the least keeping
this menagerie well fed and
attended to, for Rusty-red
and Rex alone consume 50
lbs. of dry dog food every two
weeks.
Rusty-red, a beautiful
red-haired Irish Setter was
an early Christmas present
to Ron from Bea in October
of last year. He was one year
old in July. Bea got him from
Vic Black who raises
champion setters; of the last
42 of Rusty-red’s ancestors,
33 were champion show dogs.
Rusty-red was named after
Andy Crumbley, whom Ron
tabbed with the nickname
“Big Red.” He likes table
scraps with his dry dog food
but is no way particular
about what the scraps might
consist of.
Rex, on the other hand, is a
bit more particular. He won’t
eat chicken as a result of
strychnnine poisoning re
ceived from his last chicken.
Since then Rex has fully
recovered and is a vigorous
figure of three and one-half
years old Pointer Bird Dog.
Rex’s mother and father, a
setter and pointer respective
ly, are both Tennessee State
Trial Champions. Rex
weighs in at about 40 lbs. and
is partial to green beans
mixed in with his dry dog
food. Bea says that Rex is
“just folks,” while Rusty-red
is something else. Both
Rusty-red and Rex are
one-master dogs.
Rembrandt, the last and
certainly the least in stature,
anyway, is the lonesome
feline of the group. Two and
one-half months ago, Byrd
and Tyler Garland found
Rembrandt nosing around on
the side of a highway. It was
obvious that the small kitten
had been deserted, and
remembering that Bea had
been wanting a cat, Byrd and
Tyler picked him up and
presented him to Bea. They
figure he’s about three
quarters Siamese and one
quarter “your guess is as
good as mine.” Rembrandt
enjoys dry cat food and has
managed to adjust very well
to her towering canine
brothers. Ron has never
owned a cat before and is still
trying to decide whether or
not he likes the idea.
With a collection of critters
such as the Wades have, they
are understandably great
believers in obedience

schools. They all have their
own personalities and ac
companying quirks. For
example, Rusty-red had a
bad habit of getting car sick
when he was younger. On
trips home to Tennessee, the
Wades could be spied zipping
down the highway with Ron
and Rex occupying the front
seat while Bea sat in the rear
seat holding a bucket for the
somewhat greenish-red-com
plexioned Rusty-red. In the
summer Rusty-red enjoys
the neighbor’s plastic swim
ming pool. Hardly an eighty
or ninety-degree day passed
last summer without finding
Rusty-red, only his head
visible above the sides of the
pool, enjoying the coolness of

All in all, it’s just one big
happy family all getting
along with each other while
Ron and Bea wonder what
will happen next. With such a
family, life is surely not a
bore for the Wades.

Georgia Power And EMCs
Agree on Electric Service
Atlanta The Georgia
Power Company and Ogle
thorpe Electric Membership
Corporation announced to
day they have reached
agreement in principle on the
participation by Oglethorpe
EMC in the joint construction
and ownership of five
generating units. I. F.
Murph, president of Ogle
thorpe EMC, said that the
agreement when finalized
will involve an investment of
Oglethorpe EMC in excess of
S6OO million dollars over the
next seven years.
Oglethorpe EMC was re
cently incorporated to deal
specifically with the genera
tion and transmission of
electricity to its members.
Oglethorpe EMC represents
and is composed of the 39
Rural Electric Cooperatives
that purchase wholesale
electric energy from Georgia
Power. The member coope
ratives of Oglethorpe EMC
furnish electric energy at
retail to approximately 1 W
million Georgians.
Under the agreement, I. F.
Murph said, Oglethorpe EMC
will purchase 30 percent each
of the second unit at the
Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear
Plant near Baxley and four
coal-fired units planned near
Forsyth, two of which are
under construction.
“This agreement will aid in
the joint planning of facilities
to further strengthen the
power supply available in
this state,” said Robert W.
. Scherer, Georgia Power
executive vice president.
“Skyrocketing construction
costs as well as record high
interest rates make coopera
tion among electric energy
suppliers vital to the well-be
ing of all Georgians.
“This agreement demon
strates how investor-owned
and consumer-owned com
panies can cooperate toward
the best interest of the
public,” he added.
Murph said that under the
proposed agreements in
early March, 1975, Ogle
thorpe EMC will make an
initial investment of about
SSO million to cover 30
percent of the company’s
investments made in the five
units to that date. Each
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1974
month thereafter, he said,
investment will be made for
a share of the anticipated
capital expenditures for that
month.
“As each unit is comple
ted,” Murph said, “an
operating contract will call
for Georgia Power to operate
and manage the unit for its
entire commercial life, mak
ing available to Oglethorpe
EMC, its members and
consumers, a pro-rata share
of the generation.”
Scherer noted that the
EMC load is growing at about
14 percent a year, while
Georgia Power’s overall
growth is slightly more than
10 percent a year. He added
that Georgia Power is the
largest investor-owned
wholesaler of electricity in
the country.
“This new venture will be
of benefit to the Electric
Membership Corporations, to
Georgia Power and the
customers and consumers of
both organizations,” Scherer
said. “It will help to assure
the EMCs an adequate
supply of power from
generation that they will
own, and it will help to
remove a portion of the
financial burden that Geor
gia Power has of building
facilities to meet the needs of
the rapidly growing EMC
load. With the cost of
financing and today’s money
market, this participation is
in the interest of every
MORTGAGE \. .

This joint effort is a
culmination of many years of
work by the EMCs and
Georgia Power and is a
visible act on the part of the
EMCs showing that they are
preparing to supply their
share of the power supply
requirements of Georgia.
Scherer concluded, “This
participation in future gene
ration, however, does not
affect the need of Georgia
Power for the wholesale rate
increase just filed with the
Federal Power Commission.
