There was a good deal of talk about political and eco nomic power, too, among the 1,500 to 1,800 people attending the lunch eon and plant dedication program. ELECTRICITY.—President Louis V. Sutton briefly reviewed progress of his company during the past 25 years and gave a slight preview of future plans. As a 100,000 "horses’* comped at their bits in the com pleted unit of the plant, waiting to be released and provide more than half a billion kilowatt hours of electric energy, men were work ing nearby laying foundations for a companion unit. When the dual plant is finished next summer it will generate five times as much firm power as the much publicized Bugg’s Island project. With com parable facilities at the Lumber ton plant and tie-in connections throughout the CP&L system and with other power companies, this means sufficient power to supply foreseeable needs in the area. Ten tative plans are on the boards for further expansion in case demand exceeds presently anticipated range. ECONOMICS. Economics, with a tinge of politics, came into the picture through indirect referen ces by President Sutton, Congresi man Graham A. Barden and Unit ed States Senator Willis Smith, who made the principal address: Barden paid tribute to services rendered by REA, but warned that government sponsored agencies must be inte grated with, and made comple mentary to, private enterprises— not dominate or compete with It, Smith recalled that it was no su per-intelligent government, but courageous American citizens, who discovered the process for produc ing and distributing electricity, built the first ;x>wer plant, and risked their own money to effectu ate their own ideals and aspira tions.
