Tar Heel . . . PEOPLE & ISSUES . . . BY CLIFF BLUE UTILITY DEBATE ... In recent months there has ap peared to be a widening of the breach between the private power companies and the REA associations furnishing pow er. To me it seems that some area of compromise should be possible, that both groups, private and public might continue to serve for the best interest of the public. I have, discussed this matter with both the private and public utility representatives. I have discussed the matter with numerous legislators. Most with whom I have talked seem to feel as I do, that there should be some common ground on which both groups might stand and serve. TELEPHONES ... I have noted that the private and public telephone companies seem to be getting along fairly well without any big debate going on or battle brewing. It has been suggested that the power companies might well do what the telephone companies—private and public, did some years ago. Some years ago the private and public telephone com panies worked out rather closely defined territory boundaries that have been held pretty inviolate except in rare instances. If a plan could be worked out so that the private and public power companies would know just where their territory is and not have one or the other trying to step over the line, it would appear that it would be a move in the right direction. Also high on the controversial list are taxes, which the REA group pays but little, and REA service in municipalities. It will not be easy to work the matter out for national organizations are attempting to tell both the private and public utilities how to face the issue which makes a settle ment harder to arrive at than if it were strictly a Tar Heel affair. BOTH TO SERVE. ... In our opinion, both the private and public power companies will continue to serve. As the REA group grows strong they will undoubtedly start paying taxes. In fact some of the REA leaders have indicated a willingness to pay taxes. And when they start to pay taxes they may find it to their advantage to become incorporated with the subscribers becoming stockholders. HIGHER EDUCATION ... The Senate passed the Higher Education bill last week and the matter will be before the House for decision this week. It's interesting to note that the part about the report of the Commission on Education Beyond the High School which caused so much debate last fall—the recommendation that the UNC President and other college heads be members of the State Board of Higher Education was never made a part of the bill, and is now-—only a few’ months later not causing a ripple. Governor Sanford can be given credit for pouring oil on the turbulent w’aters. RE-DISTRICTING . . . The chances for passage of a Senatorial Re-Districting bill improved last week with the overwhelming approval by the House Committee on Senator ial Re-Districting of the Currie Bill. The bill is expected to pass the House without too much difficulty. ABSENTEE VOTING . . . The outlook for passage of a reasonable and practical bill to curb the abuses w’hich have grown up under the absentee ballot law is good. SUB-COMMITTEE ... Its taking the joint Appropria tions sub-committee longer to complete their job than was ex pected at first. The processes of Democracy are sometimes slow, cumbersome and costly, but they are well worth the price we have to pay. STEEL . . . With steel prices having gone up, you can expect another round of inflation. EDWIN GILL . . . With National Library Week upon us, w’e can think of no better message for the occasion than a brief excerpt from an address by State Treasurer Edwin Gill to the Friends of the Library at Chapel Hill several years ago. Said Treasurer Gill who is not only a statesman but a scholar and a student. “Books, my friends, are summer-rain and winter-snow. They are the dogwood of the spring and the crisp sere beauty of autumn. Books are people with all their hopes and fears, their joys and sorrows. Books tell not only of deceit and treachery, but of the Faith, the Hope and the Charity of man kind. Books are also the human heart—that last refuge and cloister of the human soul. Books live and breathe and have within them a sort of circulation of the blood . They are saints and sinners, They are the hot, meaty robust talk of common men, absorbed in the everyday banalities of life. They are also the cool and lofty speech of philosophers. And lastly, books are a part of freedom—part of the spirit of liberty itself.
