Mandatory And Voluntary Programs Outlined Utilities File Proposed Peak Load Rates
North Carolina utilities Duke Power Carolina Power and Light and Virginia Electric filed peak load pricing plans with the state Utility Commission to shift use away from peak periods. Mandatory and voluntary options would raise some bills and lower others depending on customer patterns, with nonpeak use favored for savings. Duke backs a voluntary program and warns that inflation will raise rates regardless. The summer peak would run 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. under mandatory rules and be shortened under voluntary plans, with weekends entirely nonpeak.

JFK blamed for Diefenbaker defeat in 1962 Canadian vote
Former Canadian prime minister John Diefenbaker accuses President Kennedy and Wall Street interests of influencing Canada’s 1962 and 1963 elections. He cites a foreign exchange crisis and the Bomarc missile issue to explain his party’s loss and coalition. He described Kennedy as affable yet arrogant and says Pearson aligned with the U.S. administration. The remarks appear in a CBC series preview.
