We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

-63- resolution, there are two reliable ways of achieving this: 1) Early in the life of the TVA, the REA created an "emergency conference call system." By using the power lines which this agency erected for these rural communities, they established a telephonic "net" which linked together all of the TVA personnel working in that region. What we suggest is the revival and broadening of that facility. It provides for a telephone instrument to be placed in each home in a given area. Those telephones are tied into a two-way system which, when activated, makes im¬ mediate contact with a pre-set group of support facilities in the nearest com¬ munity. For example: Welfare, Medical, Police, and any other critical service in any given area. These messages are carried over existing REA power lines and is rela¬ tively inexpensive to install, operate and maintain.
