MIKE MIKE
Williamson Enterprise)

Williamson Enterprise)
Vice President Richard Nixon is
getting all mixed up, and some are
calling him Mike Mike.
When in congress Mr.. Nixon
was an isolationist, voting against
everything and everybody foreign.
More recently he announced hap
penings on the foreign front, and
even more recently he is helping
establish foreign policy absolutely
contrary to his voting record in
congress.
The Vice President even admit
ted that the present administration
bungled things, that the sorry mess
in the Middle East is partly trace
able to that bungling. The same
fellow, just before the election,
was Dragging about the great rec
ord the administration was piling
up. Even Mr.. Eisenhower was
talking about a healthy situation
in the Middle East. 1t now appears
that the top folks did not know
what the score was, and did not
know what they were saying OF
doing.

Comes the Day of Reckoning
POWER
Continued from Page One)

A few towns have retained their
light systems, but buy their cur
rent wholesale from the large sys-
TENS, and by selling at profit to
their consumers, raise money for
other town purposes. This seems
a very unfair sort of deal, in that
it is penalizing the people who
must have electricity, whether
they live in town or not, whereby
they are made to pay for things
that are not their responsibility.
Some thought has recently been
given the subject of going into the
electric light business by the town
of Manteo, on the expiration some
two years from now of franchise
of the Roanoke Utilities Company.
To do this, the town would either
have to build a utility system, or
buy out the Utilities now in opera
ton. If the present owners of the
system can get $175,0O0 for it
from VEPCO, they would hardly
be interested in selling to the town,
which surely would not be able
to get its people to vote a bond
issue of such size.
Moreover, many people look
askance at small town municipal
business operations. Rarely are
they ever profitable. Through
politics and other undue influence,
they often become begged down
with an overload of poor relations
or political favorites who are well
paid and poor producers. Too often
poor service results and great loss
to the consumers as the system
becomes a political football. There
is little hope here that a municipal
power system would prove any ex-
.ception to the good old Dare
County style of milking good
thing to death, and bollixing it up
if there is any way to do so.
Anyway, during this month, the
electric power consumers of Ro-
anoke Island, land this means
every person) will learn if they
are to get any reduction from the
present rates which have been in
effect many years. 1t is a dead
certainty that those who operate a
business should have a profit, and
it is also certain that those who
have to first buy thing, must get
more for it than they pay. The
question now seems to be whether
the present management is run
ming the business in manner
whereby a reasonable profit can
be made after charging a reason
able price on what is sold.
While everyone wishes to see
his neighbors do well, it seems gen.
eral sentiment that consumers or
Roanoke Island would be happy to
see the Roanoke Utilities sell to
VEPCO at a figure that would re-
pay them for their years of hare
work and effort in behalf of the
community. Most folk are of the
opinion that no small independent
operator can ever hope to sell al
the rates enjoyed now in other
areas of the state. Nor do they
see the same hope of Commercial
and industrial expansion that woule
be offered if the services of 6
huge power system were available
