March 1. 1017 r———— ---- ——-—.— ■ Jhml To Itoliere It is difficult to believe that some of our supposedly leaders in this State are against the proposed Good Health Program. Sure ly. tbe> have not read and weighed the sickening statistics under which so many people are pressed down. Surely, they have not reckoned with the human appeals com ing from the unattended mothers in child birth and the many who pass into the great beyond without a doctor’s sedative to re lieve their suffering in death. Those doctors, who, in their cowardly fashion, chose to oppose the creation of a four-year medical school, owned, supported and directed as an agency for the people, will have to answer sooner or later to a power that will rise up and assert itself. And the legislator who chooses to oppose any phase of the program, regardless of his 'excuses, is to be rated now and forever as an enemy of mankind, and one who is not „fit to hold any public office. North Carolina is throwing away too ; much money foolishly to claim that the health program as proposed cannot be fi nanced. Why it could be financed for a • fractii n ef the amount spent for either beer t or liquor. If an institution or a doctor’* monopoly lean thwart the just demands of the people, , it is tune for tin people to come out into the I'open and light with their bare fists, if ne » cessarv for what they think is right and t just in a civilized society. Retires -* Forty-one years 'ago, Jos. T. Chase, a i promising young engineer not long out of I Dartmouth College, left his homo in Hol j yoke, Mass., and moved south, locating in | Roanoke Rapids and becoming associated with the old Roanoke Rapids Power Com ! pnnv. When the Virginia Electric and Pow er Company bought the property 17 years later he was chosen to h< ad the Carolina : project. Just a few years later, he started ; an extensive expansion prog;am, which, in i time, was to include seventeen northeastern j North Carolina counties and a custc rn< r list ! running into the tens ol thousands. But there is more to Joe Chase’s success I story He was certainly recognized as an able and efficient executive by his company directors. At the same time he proved him self a friend of his company’s employees, from janitor on up. And he served well the ; public interests, proving himself a man of j vision with sound and friendly advice. A dozen or more years ago when he pro 1 posed the purchase of the Williamston elec i trie properties, he assured people in this sec ' tion that his company would offer rates in J viting to industrial expansion. Progress has been rapid along its transmission lines, and ! right here in Williamston steam engines j have been replaced with electric motors. 1 Lights in hundreds upon hundreds of rural , Homes in tins area burn as a Deacon to ms ingenuity as a man of vision and ability, i ‘•We’ll be a good citizen in your commu nity,'' Joe Chase said. Surely, il is the policy of the compnay, but its retiring vice presi ! dent and other employees get the immed i iate credit for bringing to the section a “good citizen", cue that has lived up to its every obligation and promise. It has paid its way and asked no special quarter from I anyone. Knowing the man, his good manners and thoughtfulness, we can’t help but feel that Joe Chase, surrounded by good men of his own choosing, was responsible for the good will, much of it anyway, the people in this section first held and continue to hold for the VEPCO. One can’t help but feel that if there had been more men like Joe hase in high positions in all types of endeavor, much of the three-way strife among big business, labor and the public would never have been born in this country of ours. In time, Mr. Chase will be numbered among the pioneering leaders in the indus trial development of this section of the State, and he will, no doubt, be remember ed as a man who actually gave more than he j received. Although his retirement is oblig j ed to bring emotional regrets and a touch j of sadness after so many years t>f dhvoted j service, it must be good for anyone to know i that he has fought the good fight and won I a noble race. And, too, relieved of pressing j duties and responsibilities, he’ll be able to I visit his friends here and throughout this i entire section more often. a\ NOTICE of SALE Tlir heirs al law of the late Mrs. T.
