From all indications Mr. Roy liked people. When we met him on the street he would , always have' a friendly greeting and a cheery word for all. 5 When we visited his office he was always the same. Regardless of how busy be was he could always find a little time for a chat with his friends. Mr. Boy. had no children of his own. 1 Most ; people, under . similar circumstances have little time for the children of others . But not so with him. His; tireless efforts on behalf of the Boy Scouts is sel dom surpassed. When they needed money for some purpose he was always the first to try to raise it failed to raise he would often make ' up the difference out of his own pocket. - He was a charter member of the Falson Lions Club and was an ardent supporter of its programs of community betterment but due to ill health In the past few years was unable to attend meetings regularly and . was put on the . member at large status. The Lions as well as the community, are going to miss him. ;, When Mr .and Mrs. Roy Cates came to- Faison years ago they bought the little run-down house back of the Falson Motor Co., and sfet about making It into a livable home. They furnished It with an tique furniture, painted and land scaped the grounds. Today it Is one of the show places of Falson.

' '; :'v Here's some behind the scenes dope , on Governor. Scott's second visit with Oscar Chapman, secre tary of the Interior, Tuesday in Washington. . t ,-;'-.'.'""" v As you know, the governor took along a delegation of some 19 State officials and other big shots to meet with Chapman, the State's senators . and congressional dele gation to get a picture of North Carolina's power potential. " Governor Scott has been holler ing, about a shortage of power in the State for some time now .Two weeks -ago, on his first visit with Secretary of the Interior Chap man, the governor found out that North' Carolina was behind other states -- even those of the South - - in power output. This has' re sulted, he was told, In the State being bypassed by industries seek ing a new home. ,;.. The story goes that Kerr Scott hit the, ceiling when be learned this from federal officials. He was shown aerial maps and other sur veys that showed the State's power output potential. Mi--:: So he asked for the second meet ing with Chapman, took 'along some of : the ,., "unbelievers",' and went to Washington to see what could .be done. yr I?,-? ' . Ironically, ; jt ' was less than a year ago that Scott made a speech In Lumberton at tbe dfd!eat!n r? ' "'11 PoiI"r Jt ' J' ' f C" Sutton - - in a paid advertisement took the governor to task, stating that there was "no existing short age in power in Carolina Power and Light Company territory. Yet, less than eight months from that day Sutton authorized an en largement of the Lumberton plant, then less than a year old. ' . Some folks now are asking this question: Is there a shortage- of power or a shortage of yislon? Someone-needs to shed a little light on the question. V.'.5 N IncidenUUy, CP&L's Louis Sut ton now is president of the Edison Institute, . national research ' and propaganda agency for the leading power companies. . . As spokesman for the electric power industry, Sutton recently assured President Truman that the private power companies are pre pared to furnish "all the power that the country needs." - - J.-' ' -:." '::l';A:f: . 'The pre-campaign jockeying for the 1952 gubernatorial race is ta king some tunny twists. Once beaten Charley Johnson, a Char lotte resident less than a year and seeking nomination as a "western er", is gaining favor with the Old Guard.-, -.''" -" ..,....... Capus Waynlck. Governor Scott s campaign manager and cat with nine lives, politically speaking, re portedly is trying to make up his mind which way to jump. He's made no secret of the fact that he would like to be governor. But he's been hearing' stories about Scott losing favor and may decide to cut away from the Scott camp completely. In the past, he has always landed on his feet when he jumped the traces - - and he was in town-last week testing tbe wind to see which way to jump. J Another opinion sampler. Secre tary of State Thad Eure, reported ly getting ambitious, too, no longer is riding the bridge on the ship of state. He's out paddling his own canoe. ' Meanwhile, State -"Treasurer Brandon Hodges is sitting on the sidelines watching it alt He ain't mad at nobody, and seems to have the faculty to keep both sides hap fypy. Some of the political experts in these parts seem to. think that Hodges is in the best position of the bunch.,;, 7 : You probably heard about Gov ernor Scott recently . xi lulling -The new suggestion is a straight 2 sales tax on everything. This, he opined, would make the tax easier to collect and "fair to all". This legislator claimed ; such . a move would bring more Income to the State, too. He said so much of the current sales tax is practi cally uncollectable , because the merchants handling some taxable goods and some untaxable goods. "You just tan't collect all the proper tax from a place like that," be said. Anyway, it ought to be a 'good scrap. - v. . North Carolina's building pro gram' might -take a ,turn for the worse. Six months ago the gover nor told the boys to go ahead and let their contracts so they could get on with the building. Being human, they put it off for awhile nobody else foresaw the -Korean situation either now it looks like It might mean putting- off - for a good long while since higher prices and material shortages , have de veloped.
