crease, the Utilities Commission
by a 312 vote has put it's approx
al on poor management of the
company.
The raise is being paid by
home and store consumers, while
industrial users will get slight

The amazing thing about the
whole action is that no where in
the many-paged report of its de-
cision is any reason given for
the raise except ito allow Tide.

This two million bucks is need
ed, it was said, to expand ser
vice and to make repairs-a lot
of which, the report said, have
been needed since the war when
materials were unavailable.
No one would quarrel with an
expansion of service by TedeWat-
err, but it is peculiar that it is
one of the few-if not the only
companies IN the country that
did not build up reserve dur
ing the war to make postwar,

have spent if they could and saw
ed it for work after the war
ended.
Despite poverty pleas, Tide
water has been able to pay an
average dividend of one dollar a
share for at least the last two
years. The Commissions refusal
, last week to reopen the case
means that the poor consumer
will have to 60 to court if he
wants to fight the rate raise fur
Their. And the Utilities Commits
sion is supposed to protect the
public.
If the Utilities Commission
wants TO do something, it could
either force TideWater to give
it's consumers decent service at
decent price or make them sell
to someone who can. Since the
the company buys IS per cent OF
it's power from Carolina Power
and Light Company then resells
it at a profit, and since CP&Ls
President Louis Sutton says his
company has plenty of power
it looks as though that would be
the logical company to serve the
Tidewater area, anyhow.
Tidewater's poverty pleas
brought a laugh in front of the

Raleigh, N. c., September
Som folks have expressed doubt
that Kerr Scott will back Willis
Smith in the coming senatorial
campaign, despite the Governors
repeated pledge to take the
stump for his party's candidate,
The Governor is a Democrat
first. and despite his opposition
to Willis in the two primaries
will take to the stump for Smith
if party leaders want him to.
AS a matter of fact, it has al,
ready been planned for Smiths
Alamance county campaign-it
not the entire campaign-to be
kicked off with a big Alamance
Young Democrats rally for Smith
at the Governors own Haw River
farm home.
Tar Heel hoarders can be proud
of themselves. They sent sales
tax receipts up about 100000
more than was expected last
month. Revenue Commissioner
Eugene Shaw reported a gain of
more than S850,000 above the
same month a year ago. Since
this was more than 100000
above the average gained each
month this year, Shaw could only
attribute it to "hysterical wal
buying and boarding"
If the North Carolinians fight
ing in Korea had acted with the
same patriotism, the Korean
war would have been over two
months age-with us pushed off
the mean little peninsula.
You can forget that dry dock
at Wilmington. Blame it on a
lot of things: lackadaisical atti
tude of New Hanover county
which always has its hand out
but doesn't seem to want to help
itself; fumbling by the Stat
Ports Authority; and the Nays
refusal to cooperate with a re
tired Army Colonel (Col. George
Gillette), despite all that tall
about notification
A $4,000 outlay would have
brought the drydock to Whining
ton.
The Navy wasn't too hot about
the idea of putting the drydock
in Wilmington to start off. Ship
builders were opposed, too. But
the Governor pushed the idea,
and after personal insistance OF
Senator Frank Graham, Presi
dent Truman intervended and
the dock was assured if the $15,'
900 could be raised. The State
did not want to enter private
business, so rightly felt it could
not put up the money. Despite
their alleged desire to expand
folks in New Hanover looked
the other way.
So Wilmington can be assured
of remaining a second rate
port. because ship owners are
not going to send their ships 81
miles inland unless there are re-
pair facilities available.

GUNNEL. CARL. In memory of my son
CARL GUNNEL.
Four years have come and gone
Since we were forced to part.
But time and space cannot erase
Your memory from my heart.
God gave me strength to fight it
And courage to bear the blow,
But what it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.
All to myself I think of you
Think of the things we used to do;
Think of the things we used to say,
Think OF each happy yesterday.
When I watch the beautiful sunset.
/ always think OF you:
When the stars shine in the sky,
l feel so close to you.
My prayer is that my life work
So will be
That some day shall live
On the same plane with thee.
I think of you in silence.
So few have seen me weep,
And many silent tears l shed
When others are asleep.
The flowers / place upon your grave
May wither and decay,
But the love for my son, who sleeps be-
meath

The shock We received that day We
still remember we'll.
You bade no one last farewell,
You said good-by to none;
The heavenly gates Just opened wide
And loving voice said, Come"
Sad and sudden was the call
OF one so dearly loved by all;
A bitter grief, a shock severe,

You lived a life that all might envy,
Loved and loving, gentle and kind;
And in death your blessed memory
Comforts us whom you left behind.
