Each Deposit Insured up to fit, MO HE STAYS BUSY ? 66 2-3% Retired, Bill Ray Is Really Enjoying Life I Editor's Note: The following story has two local angles. Its subject. .Mr. Ray, Is a Macon County native. The Writer, Mr. NeUL is a former PRESS report er. The story appeared in the September 11 issue of THE CHARLOTTE OBSERVER.) by ROLFE NEIL1. Observer Staff Writer His friends told htm: "Bill, re tirement's going to kill you." Vet when interviewed in the cool of his living room at 1711 Beverly Drive on a morning last week. 60-year-old B. L. ' Bill > Ray couldn't have been enjoying life more. For one thins. Bill Ray's only about 66 and 2-3 per cent retired. "I figured the way to live a long time was to . keep busy but away from pressure." So. he will continue to use his business knowledge as a consult ant, largely for New York corpor ations, about four months during a year. But after all. the world doesn't necessarily ccme to an end when a man leaves the brightness of New Yok City. Maybe, hinted old Esso man Ray. It just begins. Ray entered the petroleum in dustry 40 years ago. He left it this summer as one of its leading figures. He was a director of Esso Standard Oil of New Jersey and vice president in charge of mar keting. The latter title meant has was responsible for Transporting; sell ing and accounting for all Esso products sold In the United States. The Rays retired to Charlotte to be near their daughter. Mrs. K. Pinkney Herbert Jr., and grandchildren. Ray himself is a native of Franklin in the moun tain county of Macon, also the home of W B. McGuire, Duke Power president. The Ray's big. two-story Geor gian home at 601 Hemstead PI., should be ready for occupancy October 1 . Ray believes thai a restriction on the importation of foreign crude oil kills any chances for a Carolinas coastal refinery. There has been frequent talk of one in the Southport area. "We bought 500 acres in Nor folk five years ago with plans to put one there. When the import restrictions went on, however, it meant we couldn't get the cheap er crude." The result. Ray added, is that for the foreseeable future U. S . re finers will continue to locate in the Gulf Coast area near the source of the domestic crude sup ply and the cheap power needed for the refining operation. Foreign crude is about 80 cents ' a barrel cheaper. How about gas wars? Ray rubbed his hand gently through his thinning, silver hair. "Contrary to what many tpeo ple believe, the oil industry is one of cutthroat competition. The government encouraged building extra refining capactiy after World War II and the 1 esult is | overcapacity today. This leads to price cutting.. "For the past five years, we've lost money in North Carolina on gasoline sales." Ray saifl that Tar Heel mar keting has been more stable in recent months and he belie, ves he knows why. "Last year the oil industry the Veterans Hospital at Oteen last Thursday. On Tuesday of this week, the Rev. and Mrs. i Clyde Collins, Mrs. Cole, and Miss j Linda Leatherm in took him back to Oteen for further treatment. Mrs. Walton Smith and chil dren. Sylvia and Ramsey, of Asheville. and Mr. and Mrs. Con ' lep Bradley and children, of Bre | vard. spent the week end with Mrs. S. C. Leatherman. didn't have loo Rood a year. The (list six months ol this year also are down. There's pressure on management to keep up divid ends. "In good years they might net ?worry about one spot. Now, I be lieve, some of what we call 'trig ger-happy' fe lows are taking a look at such areas as North Caro lina and deciding they've got to stop the leaks in profits here." Kay said he believes the trend will continue in the industry to ward what is raJled "integration." This means that instead of a company handling just one pro cess ? such as producing, refining or selling ? companies will merge to handle oil from the ground to the family auto gas tank. "With profit margins getting slimmer ? and this is what has been happening in the industry ? it's got to happen. However. I don't think we'll ever see a con centiatlon of oil companies again". The interview ended. Ray cheer- 1 ily wished his visitors happy mot- : oring and went out to check on I the construction progress at his j I house.
