That kind of defense costs many billions. The nation is much better able to pay for it when the government cuts out needless spending. Yet some people are urging the federal government to build more electric plants and lines. This is unnecessary. Investor-owned companies-like CP&L-can supply all the additional electric power required for a fast-growing America. Electric power is a field where the government can save your tax dollars-not spend them.

Stevens, Health Director, says rabies is still a threat to the people of North Carolina. “Public unconcern and indifference could easily wipe out the gains we have made in controlling this di sease,’’ he said. Contrary to popular opinions, rabies is fai from being a rare disease. In 1961, 105 people in North Carolina received a complete series of antirabic treatments, The last death in this state from rabies was in 1954. Stevens reported that 2,345 dogs were vaccinated in ap proximately 65 clinics this spring in Ashevliie and Bun combe County; in addition, many dogs were vaccinated by private veterinarians. Stevens urges all dog ow ners who are in doubt about their pets to contact the animal shelter to determine whether their pet’s tag is up o-date. By NO SURPRISE...For nearly a month the condition of Char les Fortune Gold, N. C. Com missioner of Insurance since November 16, 1953, had been so serious that news of his passing would have been no shock to close friends in Raleigh. A lung operation, reported here several months ago, only revealed that little could be done to prolong his life for any great length of time. And so, those who knew him well asked no more when Gold would be returning to his office here on Edenton Street. Consensus was he would never return. A man of small stature who wore a hearing aid during the last years of his life, Charles Gold was reserved. He could be stolidly positive when nec essary. He was like a bulldog with a sock when he ran onto a situation manifestly unfair. BARREL...North Carolina is home base for several excel lent insurance companies; and serving as Insurance Commissioner in this State is more than a little like go ing over Niagara in a barrel. It’s nice going if you make it...but no easy journey. Incidentally, one of the men responsible for making great the tenures of Insur ance Commissioners William P. Hodges (now with an in surance firm) and those of the late Waldo Cheek of Asheboro and Charles Gold of Rutherfordton is Charles Lewis. He was assistant to each of them and is now only a few steps from retirement. During Gold’s time in of fice, scandal plagued the paths of fellow commissio ners in other Southern states. But in Tarheelia the Insur ance Dept, has never rated higher than today in the minds of the people. SUCCESSOR?This past week end they were saying here that the young man in line to succeed Charles Gold is As sistant Attorney General Luc ius W. Pullen. Personable, sharp, a working Democrat, he is a hot Sanfordite and has the support of some top level Sanford supporters. And. even more important probable to Governor San ford, is the fact that Pullen has become a legal expert on intricate insurance matters through being assigned to the Insurance Department much of the four years he has been an Assistant Attorney Gener al. Others will be considered for the post. Pullen is a nat ive of Rocky Mount. His wife is from Asheville. WILKES AND KERNER..Got a letter the other day from Garland Porter, who gets out the fat magazine, Southern Advertising and Publishing, in Atlanta. One of the big gest, best. He was in Europe at the same time of the Atlantans who lost their lives on the chartered jet. Many of them were his close friends. The lady who introduced Garland and Margaret, his wife, was in the crash. But Garland was not in the party, had arrived back in New York by com mercial plane only a few hours before the crash. Garland has been such a success as a writer and ad vertising man..and is such a good friend of ours...that we want to review here a few words of his North Carolina background...for the oldsters. His father many years dead now, was born in Wilkes County. His mother was a Wiles. Garland’s mother was Letitia Cockerham, born in Jonesville. Garland says that S. W. Cockerham(Tishy’s fat her) used to do a little gentle feuding with his next-hill neighbor in Jonesville, Jim Greenwood. Following the death of Gar land’s mother, Letitia, his father married again...this time Annie Kerner of Ker nersville. Garland went to school in Kernersville there after, but attributes much of his love for people to the ten der love given him by his old maid aunt, Miss Nancy Coc kerham of Jonesville, who moved on to certain reward in 1937. Now sixtyish and looking forty-fivish,' Garland was in school at U. N. C. with, a mong others, Jonathan Dan iels and Thomas Wolfe. NOTES...Paying our check in a local drugstore the other day we were shocked to read this statement on the bulletin board back of the cash reg ester. “One-fourth of all peo ple who have lived to the age of 65 since the beginning of time are alive today”. Well, we checked, found the state ment was from a bulletin is sued by the August N. C. Pharmaceutical Association of Chapel Hill...and is correct...a tribute to modern pharmacy, Sen. Estes Kefauver notwith standing... Overheard among a group of high school seniors a few days before graduation in June: “...I guess you would say English was my favorite subject,„I ain’t made nothing less than 90 on any exam this year..” ...The word around here this past week end was that something hot is brewing in the Burch-Brewer trail lone soming along here...from the defense? If another Statewide bond issue is tried...and we think it will be...and if it is successful ....put Bert Bennett of Win ston-Salem down as a definite candidate for Governor in 19 64...That’s what we hear... ...Thanks to some good work by the 1961 General Lula Greenwood Asembly, there seems to be a new feeling of unity in the ranks of the consumer fin ance companies of the State. We hear this was very, very apparent at the recent meet ing of the N. C. Consumer Association held at Sedge field Inn. Greensboro. Mem ship in the organization is 4(30..about 50. per cent more than this or any other N. C. organization of finance firms has ever had....Much credit to that old maestro, Robert L. Thompson, the executive dir ector, and Willie Lee Lump kin, Louisburg, general coun sel... IDEA..Each and every bus iness firm in Waynesville..and any interested individual of the city...can get from the Waynesville Chamber of Com merce without cost...attract ive color post cards pointing out the unsurpassed beauty thereabouts...These are being included in literally thousands of pieces of mail, etc., flow ing out of Haywood this sum mer.and this week’s salute goes to wide-awake Waynes ville.
