Index-Journal, Greenwood, S.C., Dec. 7, 1978 Solon says public should not pay for Duke ads BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBIA Customers of Duke Power Co. should not be made to pay for the utility's $2- 25,000 advertising campaign, a state legislator has told the South Carolina Public Service Commission. Rep. W.

Sterling Anderson, D-Spartanburg, said Wednesday that there had been "almost a blitz of media advertising hitting the Piedmont area of South Carolina." Anderson made his comments during the second week of a PSC hearing into Duke's request for a 10.3 percent, or $34.5 million, rate increase for its 300,000 customers in South Carolina. The television advertisements in question show William S. Lee, Duke president, telling consumers that the utility is doing everything in its power to hold down costs while building plants to meet the electrical needs of future generations. Anderson said that some of his constituents have asked him, "Who are they trying to influence, us or the commission?"

That was the "shooting," as he refers to it. And it is the point that divides his life so completely. Before the assassination attempt, he stood a chance of becoming president, he thinks.

After that, there was no chance. THE EXPERIENCE has not, however, left Wallace bitter. "I don't feel bitter at all," he explains. "I feel what we did has accomplished something and has been worth something. If I didn't feel that way I would be very sad, knowing the shape I'm, in now and the price I paid." What kind of shape is he in? "I'm in good physical condition, with the exception of the paralysis," he says.

"I have no organic problem at all."

"I always visualized the possibility of being killed in a campaign because I've been in many scrapes. But I never foresaw or thought about being a paraplegic. I always thought once I was shot, that would be the end of it. But the end didn't come, only paralysis." HE ACKNOWLEDGES that he "might have wished the end had come" as he lay in an intensive care unit "when I was suffering so I could hardly stand it." But, he adds, "I do not feel that I have a chip on my shoulder.

I am happy to be alive. God was good to me to let me live. By all rights I should be dead."

Wallace, who was divorced earlier this year, says "there is nothing so bad about living alone." But he explains that "living alone, paralyzed is a different thing." WHILE REFUSING to discuss his divorce or rumors that he plans to marry again, calling such matters "personal and private, "he does say he likes "to be alone at times, but I would rather be living with Insisting he lacks a "sense of Wallace nevertheless says he hopes history will view his career as having vindicated the South and "destroyed the myth that a Southerner could not seriously run for District Court in San Francisco before a grand jury investigating Ryan's death.

Baptist protest disappoints Jaycees Greenwood Jaycees are disappointed with a Baptist protest against the parade that the club has scheduled for this Sunday. The objections to a Sunday parade came from an Abbeville Baptist Association resolution which stated that a Sunday parade "would lead to conflict with regularly scheduled Sunday worship services and be detrimental to the general spiritual well-being of our community." The Jaycees responded today with a letter to the resolution committee of the Abbeville Baptist Association and signed by Jaycee President Dana Gravley. The letter said all other comments concerning the parade plans had been favorable until we received your resolution." "We see very little conflict with regularly scheduled Sunday worship service and we see no detriment to the general spiritual well-being of our community, as stated in your resolution," it reads in part. Ronald Hix, parade chairman, had predicted earlier that some churches might object to the Sunday date of the parade but the date was carefully considered before a decision was made.

It was felt, he said, that a parade held on Sunday could be enjoyed by more people. The 160-unit parade will be at 2:30 p.m., starting at Ware Street and U.S. 72 near the Greenwood Country Club. The parade will move toward the square on 72 and end at South Main Street Baptist Church. Hix said that entries should be at the American Legion Home by 1 p.m.

and lineup information will be presented at that time. Anyone with questions concerning the parade may call Hix Friday and Saturday at 229-0011. Court is considering rollback in postage BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON A federal appeals court is considering pleas from the greeting card industry and eight states for a rollback in the cost of a first class postage stamp. The U.S. Court of Appeals is scheduled to hear oral arguments today in cases filed by the National Association of Greeting Card Publishers and the eight states' attorneys general.

The cases, along with several other challenges to various postal rates, have been consolidated for the arguments. The greeting card industry group, whose customers use first class mail, have attacked the last three increases in first class postal rates. The group won the case against the 1974 rate increase from 8 cents to 10 cents. The appeals court agreed that the increase had not followed the dictates of the 1970 law that established the Postal Service. But the decision had no effect because by the time the court issued its decision in 1976, the rate had gone up again to 13 cents.

The greeting card publishers then filed suit against the increase to 13 cents, but lost that case just as they were filing a third suit attacking last May's increase to 15 cents. The industry group wants the rate rolled back to 13 cents for private individuals while kept at 15 cents for first class letters for businesses. ney Open for your shopping convenience BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Kan's City 31 15 sn Rapid City 13 -02 Thursday Hi Lo Pre Otik Albany 53 28 Albu'que 35 17 .10 cdy Amarillo 25 16 sn Anchorage 35 32. .31.. cdy Asheville 67 28 rn Atlanta 65 41 cdy Atlantic Cty 54 40 cdy Baltimore 63 32 Birmingham 64 45 Bismarck 06 -12 cdy Boise 14 cdy Boston 40 Brownsville 76 cdy Buffalo 34 rn Charlstn SC 69 59 cdy Charistn WV 57 33 48 Chicago 32 16 Cincinnati 52 42 rn Cleveland 44 Columbus 49 Dal Ft.
