Co-Op Leaders For Northeast Area Continue
Directors of the seven parish North east Louisiana Power Co-Operative will serve another year as a quorum failed to appear at the annual meeting. Only 347 members attended due to bad weather, though about 800 were present overall. U S Rep Otto E Passman and Rep Lantz Womack spoke, and Winnsboro Mayor-elect Frenchie Marioneaux gave the welcome. The directors listed include C J Grayson Fort Necessity and J F E Richardson Winnsboro. The absence of a quorum canceled business, with by laws stating directors serve until a quorum meets. The high school stadium hosted the event after earlier winds toppled a tent.
