The overwheiixu&g vote to continue toba
three years is a fine thing for this part of the
to it being good for the section it is also i
creased awareness of the farmer’s intematioi
also reaccents the fact that the tobacco farm*
ness man in America who has the privilege b
he shall have additional competitors. In so*
termed an iniquitous monopoly, but from anj
it is about the only sensible solution toward
consumption-production problem that has ii
tobacco growing areas periodically when ]
lands of different items that taxes and pub
upon each year there is certainly one m<
>uld obtain at the earliest possible mome
£ - an instrument used by trained men
reviving persons who have been drowned for brief periods and per
sons who have been rendered unconscious from electrical shock. The
cost of a pulmotor is around $800 and Lenoir County is one of the
few wealthy counties in North Carolina that-doesn’t have such a
machine. We feel that one should be purchased immediately by the
city and county and placed in the hands of trained personnel in either
the police or fire department The need for such a machine last Wed*
nesday .when a Contentnea Neck youth was drowned is the cause for
our belated thoughts on the subject ;V,;# S
waiting ft*'the deliverance of
last Tuesday night surprised tew people and did it in a rather s
manner for one who usually has a highly developed “shuck mat
tress” bedside manner. He Wound up by beating the utilities—pan- ,
vate and public—and the Utilities Commission over their already
soreheads.
Such action is not new in the realm of politics in the South, but
it is relatively new in North Carolina, the home of The Dukes. The
governor has asked for cooperation and in order to get this coopera
tion he has threatened recalling franchises. This is also old stuff.
Huey Long was doing ft while Scott was riding dirt roads as a county
agent.
Generally speaking, barking dogs don’t bite. Dogs that mean
business get you-by the scat of the pants and instill respect, fear
and forward action in an obvious and clearly understood manner. Es
pecially “Big Dogs” like governors of states. We feel that Governor
Scott has enough personal and political power to cope with the utili
ties and the Utilities Commission without “going to the people” in a
rather limp “Fireside Chat”. . ■
Most assuredly we concur in the governor’s assertion that more
and more service in the fields of electricity and-telephones is needed
in the rural areas of this state* but we feel that more prompt and
effective action could-be obtained from less spectacular methods.
