PEOPLE POWER. Behind your electrical
plug are thousands of people. TP&L
people. People searching for fuels.
Building plants. Stringing transmission
lines. Generating the power you use.
People working around the clock, day-in
and day-out trying to bring you uninter-
rupted electrical service. So when you
turn on a switch or plug in a cord, take
us for granted. We want you to. It’s a
compliment to us. It says we’re doing
our job well.

Mr. and Mrs. Doane
Fessenden of Kerens
have recently receiv-
ed word that their
son has been recogni-
zed for his work on
a southern newspaper.
Ford Fessenden, em-
ployed by the Greenv-
ille News, was award-
ed the South Carolina
Press Association's
Public Service Award
during the opening
session of that
state's press assoc-
iation's annual wint-
er meeting.
South Carolina's Go-
vernor Dick Riley
presented the award
to Fessenden for his
series of articles
on "The Price of Law
and Order," an ana-
lysis of South Carol-
ina's prison system.
The articles which
were later published
by The News in tabl-
oid form, ware desc-
jud-
cou-
ribed by contest
ges as "truly
rageous."
"In straightforward
language, bolstered
by extensive research
the stories enlight-
ened readers about
the price of punish-
ment, both in terms
of tax dollars and
affronts to human
dignity," the judges
said.
"The writing was su-
perb," the judges
continued. "Many
readers probably did
not want to know much
of what was describ-
ed in the series.
Quite simply, they
needed to know It.
That's public servi-
ce at its best,"
Doane and Bobbie
Fessenden, owners of
Trunk Line, underst-
andably report that
they "are very proud
of Ford and this
