By Robert A. Potter
HAYESVILLE - Trl-County
ministers meeting Tuesday at
Hilton Center, Hayesvllle,
called upon people of the area
to work for better race re
lations, and admonished

recent Supreme Court de
cision concerning Bible read
ing and the Lord's Prayer In

more In their churches and
homes.
The association adopted a
resolution bespeaking just
treatment of people of every
race. Including such integra
tion as necessary to bring
this about.
Clark W. Benson, First
Methodist minister of Murphy,
was named president of the
body for the coming year.

First Baptist, vice-president;
Joel T. Key, Andrews First
Methodist, secretary - treas
urer; and Robert A. Potter,

Nantahala
Rate Hike
May Fall
RALEIGH - Opponents of a
controversial power rate In
crease placed into effect under
bond July 16, 1961, by Nanta
hala Power and Light Com
pany apparently scored a stun
ning upset victory in action
Tuesday by the House on a
massive bill revising the
state's utility laws.
Included in the bill, already
passed by the Senate, Is an
amendment introduced by Sen.
W.Frank Forsyth of Chero
kee County, that terminates
any bonded rate Increases
after they have been in ef
fect for one year without a
decision by the State Utlli
tlles Commission.
Although the major portion
of the bill is not effective im
mediately, Forsyth's amend
ment would go into effect on
I July 1.
This is given the general
interpretation in legislative
circles as meaning that NP
&L must stop collecting the
higher rates ?which on the
average are 33 and a third
per cent higher than its old
rates ? as of July 1.
According to some reports,
Nantahala has acquiesced and
is expecting to halt the bond
ed rates at that time.
Actually, the victory, if it
proves to be that ? came In
a meeting of the House Utili
ties Committee last week
when an attempt to beat down
Forsyth's amendment was
made and failed. As it turn
i ed out Tuesday, the attempt
I was not renewed on the floor
during consideration by the
i full House.
, The House also approved a
i provision that woult^ in the
i future, limit the amount by
, which a utility could raise
its rates under bond to 15
i per cent. The original bill
I called for a ceiling of 20
I per cent.
Nantahala's rate increase
; application, meanwhile, is
still In the Utilities Commis
, slon where no decision has
i ever been given. The sale
; case Is before the Supreme
? Court on appeal by opponents
! from a Superior Court de
? dslon upholding the SUC
t order approving the sale. Ex
i pedidous settlement of the
, case has been urged repeat
edly by Governor Sanford.
