There is a slight fallacy in Duke’s rate-of-return argument, for the com pany’s transmission volume is growing by leaps and bounds. The electric cities and coops, 56 customers in all. as tlu*y fight the case before VPC, will call at tention to dollar return rather than rate of return. Friend Indeed In periods of non-stress and strain, the average citizen doesn't get very ex cited about civil defense. Yet Kings Mountain had a iwent problem which would have boon diffi cult of handling, certainly not in three days, without the fact of a civil defense agency, not to mention numerous other organizations and individuals who pitch ed in to help when the temporary pumps at Buffalo Creek waterhole sank due to a leaky pontoon that subsoguently went down. The city had been to Anniston. Ala bama, once before on water business. At that time the city was dry as were the city’s York Road and Davidson Lalie resevoirs. Pipe from Anniston enabled the city to tap two streams and aug ment the raw water supply until the rains came. The city's water-logged pumps are being re-worked, the job is virtually complete, and Anniston equipment will be returned home, with a full measure of thanks. Mr. Turbyfill It seemed impossible that Earl Tur byfill had succeeded Hunter Allen as city electrical superintendent four years ago. Time indeed flies. His decision to return to his native Asheville was regretted by city officials. Mr. TurbjTill proved himself a quiet but quite efficient workman who knew his business. The community wishes him well. Time is running out for annual tax listing. City tags are on sale at the tax list ing office. Lyndon Bcines Johnson The death of former President Lyn don Baines Johnson removed by a very short time the last of the nation's for mer cliief exoculives.

But the. nation applauded his use of a strong hand in Santo Domingo. The Jolmson Administrat ion juit more social legislation on the books than any administration in liislory, in cluding those of Franklin Delano Roose- \elt, the maestro of social legislation. The President was a manv-faccled man. Ho was a hardy fighter for what he heliex cfl and an aiiept persuader. His Senate service was marked by his being majority leader during six of President D\\ ighl Kisenhowor’s oiglu years. He had tiie \otos hut didn't use them to play peanut polilic.s.

This nation has never been involved in a war it often appeared the nation was not trying lo win. The seek-and- dostroy policy was a failure. Yet the nation had fought in the jungles before and won. in Japan in World War II, in Cuba in an earlier dav.
