'The current (Jan. 9) issue of THE
STATE, "weekly- news-magazine of

lection of Louis V. Sutton of Ral
eigh as the "North Carolina of 1953".
A photograph of Sutton appeared
on the cover, ' and. the magazine
carried the following editorial com
ment on the choice: , , ', '
Louis V. Sutton, president of
Carolina Power & Light Company,
is presented herewith as the North
Carolinian of I9S3. .
The committee of 12 judges, after
deliberating over a field of a score
or more nominations, selected Sut
ton for his significant, contributions
to the solution of one of North
Carolina's greatest problems: The
industrial and commercial develop-
mentof North Carolina; and espec
ially to that development in areas
of greatest need. ' ' T
His accomplishments included:
(1) Acquiring a poorly equipped
and badly financed company (Tide
Water) and bringing an unlimited
supply of power, better service and
lower rates to an industry-deficient
section of southeastern North Caro
lina. Results was a 30 per cent ln
crease in consumption during the
first full year of operation after the
merger. '
(2) Building of CP&L's largest
generating plant near Wilmington,
thus boldly signalling to prospective
industry the self-sufficiency of the
area as regards electricity. This
plant was part of a program which
in ten years is investing $200,000,000
in the Carolinas, already has doubl
ed the productive capacity of the
company, and has kept available a
reserve of power ready for the In
dustries sought for the territory.
(3) His company, in the face of
inflationary price increases, has
held the line on power rates, an
other factor to some types of in
dustrial expansion,
(4) He has directly and aggres
sively participated, through his com
pany's industrial department in the
state's promotion program, and has
been responsible for acquisition of
several plants.

(8) He launched a territory-wide
"Finer Carolina" program which has
stimulated community betterment
Including Industrial and commercial
expansion, civic Improvements, and
soil and water conservation.
So much for the work of 1953
and the 'years Immediately nrior
to it. THE STATE agrees with the
Judges that few,, individuals have
done as much through vision and
courage to utilize their business for
the good of the commonwealth.
- But those who know Louis Sutton
also know that he had made other
lasting contributions, t He took . a
small utility out of the status of a
holding-company subsidiary and in
five years built It up, Into a great
Carolina enterprise, as indigenous
in its operations and attitudes as
any company In this state. In the
doing, be demonstrated , that not
only could an Investor-owned and
privately managed utility adequate
ly meet the power needs of a state,
but also that a great corporation
could be humanized, kept close to
the people, and be resoonsive to
fheir aspirations. Many other North
Carolinians have the enlightened
view that they will benefit throuch
the general economic good health
of their neighbors. Louis Sutton
long ago nailed this motto In the
pilot house of his ship: "Our future
is the future of the area we serve."
