Texas Power & Light Com-
pany employees have set a new
Company safety record by work-
ing 5,180,000 main-hours without
a lost-time accident, W. W.
Lynch, TP&L president, report-
ed last week.
The new figure breaks the
previous company record of
5,168, 170( man hours worked
safely and represents a safety
milestone for TP&L, Lynch
stated. The last lost-time injury
suffered by a TP&L employee
occurred on December 9, 1965.
The new total is equivalent
roughly to one man working
continuously 24 hours each day
for 591 years without a disabl-
ing injury.
According to recent statistics
published by the National Safe-
ty Council, the electric utility
industry has an accident fre-
quency rate of 5.29 lost-time in-
juries per 1 million man-hours
worked. This means that the
average electric utility company
erperiences about 26 lost-time
injuries for every 5 million-man
hours worked.
Since 1960 Texas Power &
Light Company has been well
below the 5.29 electric industry
rate with a yearly average of
1.35 disabling injuries per mil-
lion man-hours worked. This
years’ safety performance will
decrease the Company's acci-
dent rate even more, Lynch
said.
Lynch cited employee coope-
ration, interest and teamwork
as the major contributing fac-
tors to the new safety record.
An official of a large Dallas
based insurance company term-
ed TP&L’s safety performance
as outstanding not ohly for the
electric utility industry but
other industries as well.

An amendment to Title in of
the Economic Opportunity Act
was signed recently into law by
President Johnson to provide
additional and much needed re-
sources for hard-pressed, low-
income rural people desiring to
improve their farm income or
start smal businesses.
"The amended Economic Op-
portunity Act increases from
$2,500 to $3,500 the maximum
War-On-Proverty loans that
Farmers Home Administration
can make to individual farmers
or other rural residents at the
bottom of the economic ladder,"
Agriculture Secretary Freeman
said. “The amendment also aut-
horizes additional credit to bor-
rowers so long as their total
outstanding indebtedness for an
economic opportunity loan does
hot exceed $3,500.”
Economic Opportunity bor-
rowers are operating more than
350 different kinds of non-agri-
cultural enterprises, in addition
to farming, as a result of cre-
dit extended through this pro-
Extended credit totaling $46
million to over 28,000 families
throughout the United States,
Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Is-
lands between January, 1965
and June, 1966.
gram. Loans average $1,700.
"In some cases the cost of ob-
taining land, buildings and
equipment for small rural-bas-
ed businesses has been a bar-
rier to developing a reasonable
sound loan under the previous
$2,500 limit,” Secretary Free-
man explained. “The authoriza-
tion which permits the making
or larger loans to borrowers
will permit the acquisition and
development of more adequate
resources along with providing
a more feasible base for accom-
plishment by the low-income ru-
ral family.”
This amendment will also
make it possible for some rural
loan borrowers to expand their
operation in cases where needed
capital is not available from
conventional credit sources.
The loans are scheduled for
repayment with in a period con-
sistent with the borrowers abi-
lity to repay. The maximum
terms is 15 years. Interest rate
is 4 1/8 percent per year on the
unpaid balance.
Persons interested in making
application for one of the above
loans may contact the local of-
fice, acsording to Chester L.
Sinclair, County Supervisor,
serving the Young, Jack and
Stephen County units.
