More than 100 persons
signed pledge cards to
donate blood here Saturday,
but those who haven’t
signed up are reminded they
still can donate to help
^residents of the Sanger
* independent School District.
The drive, co-sponsored by
the Chamber of Commerce
and students from the Texas
College of Osteopathic Medi-
cine at North Texas State
University, will raise a blood
supply for use by anyone
residing in the Sanger
School District.
Those eligible to donate
must be between the ages of
18 and 65.
A blood mobile from Carter
Blood Center in Fort Worth
will be at Sanger Elemen-
tary School from 9 a.m. until
1 p.m. Saturday to collect
blood.
“A Gift To Your Com-
munity at Christmas Time”
is the theme of the drive for
blood credits.
Blood credits raised in the
drive will remain on deposit
for one year from the date of
the drive. The blood would
be available to all residents
of the school district or to
those residing outside the
district but who donated
in the local drive.
Sanger and Pilot Point
chambers are sponsoring the
drive in their respective
towns and have agreed to a
friendly contest to see which
town can raise the most
credits.
Blood credits may be sent
to any hospital in this area
or to any hospital or blood
bank in the nation with
which reciprocity arrange-
ments have been made or
can be established.
Drive officials urged all
residents to consider dona-
ting blood during the
Saturday drive. No appoint-
ment is necessary.

Forrester said the Federal
Power Commission request
for a 10 per cent reduction
would affect everyone.
“For its part Brazos plans
to comply as best it can with
any federal or state order
issued,” Forrester told the
council. “But we shall resist
in every way possible any
reduction in electric service
which unnecessarily reduces
the service for human needs
or places a business in a
position of forcing it to close,
idling its employes and
thereby damaging the whole
community.”
City Secretary Dave Marr
said he and Mayor Ken
Cornell would meet with
Brazos officials on Dec. 17 to
discuss the current energy
crisis more.

its fuel supply for 1974 and
1975 was adequate to meet
normal generation needs.
But he added, to assure
adequate reserves through
1978, the cooperative must
add proven reserves at an
annual rate of 25 billion
cubic feet per year.
Brazos, Forrester said,
plans to burn no oil this
winter, next summer or next
winter. But the cost of
assuring its consumers with
gas generated electricity is
expected to be 1.5 million
per killowatt hour higher in
1974 and as much or more in
1975.
Although Brazos reports
success in meeting needs for
the future, Forrester said
none should mistake the
urgent need to conserve the
use of electricity and all
energy currently available
in the U. S.
Forrester said Brazos plans
comj ance and requests all
wholesale consumers to urge
voluntary compliance in
energy use.
Brazos said there are 11
ways to reduce the amount
of electric energy used.
These include:
— Curtailment of nonessen-
tial heating and lighting in
utility owned power plants
and office facilities.
— Curtailment of non-
essential generating station
auxiliaries at power plants.
— Appeals to large
commercial and industrial
customers to curtail non-
essential use.
— Apeals to the public to
curtail nonessential use.
— Interruption of con-
tractually interruptable
load.
— Reduction of system
voltage.
— Reduction in use of
electricity by govermen-
tal entities.
— Reduction of hours of
operation of commercial

Fuel Supply Adequate Here
Brazos Electric Power
Cooperative, Inc. operator of
the Sanger Electric System,
has plenty of fuel reserves
for operation of generators,
but will implement a Federal
Power Commission order
calling for a 10 per cent
reduction in the use of
electricity.
Woody Forrester, repre-
senting Brazos Electric, told
the City Council Monday
night that the company
plans to burn mainly natural
gas in generation of elec-
tricity; but that a 21 day
si’, / of fuel oil was on
hand.
Forrester said Brazos
expected to have a lignite
fired plant in operation by
1979, but would need 98.5
billion cubic feet of ja^intil
that time.
Forrester said Brazos felt

The new line was delayed
while city officials wo-ked to
secure easements fro’
property owners. The last
easement was secured in
November and the project
advertised for bids.
Construction of the line

that area is a proposed
