opera, "Semiranade," last sung
in this country by Melba and Scot
tie il 1896. 1t was a perfect hour
eor the North Carolinians as
sernbled-for at heart. we have
found all Carolinians are music

where Miss Frances Johnston OF
Greensboro was playing softly
conversation : music" and burst
Tito a chorus of old familiar
songs, And we thought How like
Carolinians!" Back in the State,
We knew there were many such
groups gathered around the
pianos singing those same songs
that Sunday evening.
An especially interesting limo

Home was the room provided tor
children over 10 who accompanied
their parents. Games were ar
ranged on tables for them and

The glow of 1astertime is over
Washington. Days r cloudless,
blue and golden. And there's a
new .zest in the air as milady
PUSHES gaily about seeking a new
straw or beflowered bonnet with
which to dazzle the spectators at
the traditional Easter Parade
along Connecticut avenue. At the
moment there is no saying which
Of North Cardinals lovely ladies'

ing of springtime costumes. Last

tina. charming and vicacious bru-
nett, Fairfid Cauole. wife of the
Assistant Attorney General T. La
mar Caudle, formerly of Wades-
boro. as the handsome couple
were making heir way homeward
from the morning church serv-
ices. Also pointed up as one of
the most charming of present-day
Washington women was Mrs.
Lindsay Warren, wife of the
Comptroller General of the United
States. Incidentally, her eye
catching hats are always the envy
Of her friends.
Missing from the Parade this
year will be one of the Colony s
most beautiful women-Mrs. Ken
meth c. Royal who with her hand
some husband, the Undersecre-
tary OF War, will be the guest of
Dr.. and Mrs. Davis N New York.
Still another North Carolinian who
draws attention wherever she
goes is Col. Westray Battle poyce,
recently resigned Director of
WAC, and who will observe
Easter for the first time since the
war, in civilian attire. Pretty and
petite Mrs. Gordon Briggs who
never wears a hat. will interrupt
her custom when she joins the
Easter throngs this year, by ap-
pearing in an ~irrestibly spring
time CONNECTION of yellow roses
conferred with white tulle.
Comparatively speaking, how
ever, little attention is actually
given Easter 'duds." That inter-
est is, more often than not, alb
sorbed in the constant merry-go-
round of pre-Easter events that
dot the social calendar in the Cap
ital. Miss Meredith Howard, who
has the most engaging smile and
the brightest of eyes, entertained
Wednesday at cocktails for P. A.
Menon for four years financial
adviser to the Indian Embassy.
Among the hundred or more
guests who dropped il to say fare
well to Mr.. Menon, were Brig.
Gen. and Mrs. Albert L. Cox, Col,
Albert L. Cox, Jr., Comdr. Will
liam Cox, Miss Frances Cox and
Col. and Mrs. William Lively.
Mrs. Lively is the former Miss
Cheshire Cox.
Col. and Mrs. Emory J. Woodall
were among the guests when Col.

Another hors d'oeuvres affair
this week was the %congenial con-

cally Georgetown, is a fascinating
place, with the redecorating by
clever Mrs. Hendrick, herself. But

 fled in tabling this application. Ies us see a decrease in the rates Of she City Light Plant so that industry can move to WrangeIl or at leasl keep that industry which We now
 have. One consumer has reeeIges Lart of his 30 kw electric pIaui which will produce electricity for | l2 z per kwh and this includes depreciation charges. Anyone Rith any business sense can see ID. themselves how other large con. sumers-are going to react To ths condition and if the larger con sumrs put in thir own plants f. stands to reason chat the city light Plant will have to increase ifs rates If the rates do increase. the City Council will find itself Wigh a lot of excess east iron and l0n- crete on their hands and Use oI electricity from the City ownea plant will go down to point where the 120 hp unit will prob ably take care of the towns needs.
 Since the Mayor and Council. with the approval of tbe Utilities Board. have seen fiji to burden tho consumer with the new plant. it seems that they should al least trv 10 protect the investment by bor
 rowing enough money 10 complete ly pay off Fairbanks-Morse and ger them entirely out of the set-up so that rates can be revised down
 ward to allow industry and other consumers to benefit and keep n. diesel plant in operation rather than have individuals and business places forced into putting in tbeh
 own electric plants. With business conditions comparable to the I9an depression years. considerable thought should be given to keeping small industry we now have ana giving some incentive to new in-

ment to the Mayor and City Coun- cil and relating to hydro-electric development of Mill Creek has been read
 Since Mir Devenny's statement as much as says We do not know what we are talking about in re- gard to the estimate furnished by Mr. Stuart, l wish to point out that he is a graduate electrical engineer with more than 25 years experience in hydro operation aud management in Alaska. This 10 compare with Mr. Devenn's exper fence in the Wrangeu City Light Plant only and no experience :n hydro operation l will leave it r5 the readers judgment as to which party should know whether or nal one man can operate Q semi-auto- matic plant If there is any dou lt in anyone's mind regarding this, q trip to Pelican City can satlsf3 this doubt as only one man oper- ates this plant as well as take care of other duties he has which keer5 him away from the power hou SC most of the time.
 The principal criticism seems tc be an adverse opinion to our state ment that Wrangell has exceeding ly high electric rates and asks us to publish rates of other Alaska towns. These rates were to have bnau nnbIfgbsI sy, ,rr,,,. ,,,,,-.. r..-..- a report MT. Devenny was to furn- ish to the editor Upon making In- quiry, this report was never furn- lshed. However, a report comparing other SE Alaska towns will be made as space and time permit.
 It was also stated that the City Light Paint should not be ridi- euled with a supposed exaggerated cost for the 1947 operating per iod. It may be that MT. Devenny has forgotten that the price of diesel oil went up two cents per eallon this year and that the City Council authorized an increase in wages at the plant. It is also very unlikely that City Light Plant em- ployees will consider working six days per week while other City em- ployees work 5 F days. The end ot the year will show who made the ridiculous statement.
 Regarding the statement that he did not want any more compar- isons made from a preliminary hydro estimate: Experience must certainly prompted this statement as there is surely no doubt that the preliminary estimate on the Few addition to the light plant is being oyerrun by the actual con structton cost. It might be very in terestlng to the consumers ot cleo tricity to know why the Wrangell rates are excessive by publishing the preliminary estimate with Che final cost of the project. Is if DOS sible that the person making the preliminary estimate could have

off several thousand dollars2
 It seems that the cost and pro fits of our City Light Plant have been kept from the public sine. to my knowledge. the Town has not published a balance sheet al- though, according 10 our Mayo. there was a stipulation in the con tract with Fairbanks-Morse that a full financial statement was to be published. This statement has a0, been published and l believe the City Council should give the reason why this has not been done as re
 quired in the contract.
 l do not see why MT. Devenav should become so unduly excited over our report since the Mayor and City Council were too lethar- gie to attend to the business Of having the application presented before it was too late to obtain funds for the Mill Creek engineer ing work. The funds for this pro ject would not have cost the tax payers of the town one cent unless the project proved feasible ana was constructed. Mr Stuart offer ed to write up the application for the funds last March. The Mayor refused this offer while the Conn
 eil was in session and the appliea ton laid on the table until the end of June at which time the writer was asked to fill out the applica- i ton forms as it required engineer. ing data as we'll as some know ledge of estimating costs and their subsequent breakdown into the re. quired information and MT. Stuart's knowledge of the work made him the logical person 10 make the application. The tabling of this application looks like a de-
 liberate attempt to justify the cost of the diesel plant by doing noth- ing to obtain the money for the l engineering of the Mill Creek pro jeet until lack of time would dis. qualify the application.
 It is quite apparent that the wrong approach was made in ask ms CouolueI dllOu or tulS project
 If a total stanger., rather than a humber of disgruntIed taxpayers and consumers had asked for this consideration no doubt the request would have been granted and no questions asked regarding the ex- penditure Fairbanks Morse sent a salesman to Wrangell who appar- ently found a very gu'li1Ia and ap- preciative audience in the people who handled our city affairs. This gullibility paid out to they tune of two, rather than one, large diesel electric plants. This contract runs seven years and states that tho rates cannot be changed without permission of Morse.
 To those of us who contributed in both time and money in pre- pairing a preliminary estimate the loss is not great but rather to the town and the people living here. it is almost irreparable since no industry can possibly move here unless they generate their own cl- ectrictty and people will not move
