Draped in American colors, the $46,500,000 project was hailed as ‘a symbol of the New South ... a new era in elec tric power industry’. Above the domed nuclear reactor flew state flags of South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia, represented here by those states’ respective chief executives. Scheduled to begin generating 17,00 kilowatts of power early in 1963, the reactor is a pioneer prototype whose oper ations over a five-year period may provide information con tributing to the advancement of the nuclear industry as a whole. The pilot project was built by an alliance of four utilities, the Carolina-Virginia Nuclear Power Associates, in coop- eraton with the Atomic Energy Commission. ‘This is a great day for South Carolina in its march for ward in the nuclear and space age’, said Gov. Hollings, des cribing the plant as ‘stamping upon the minds of the world that we have chosen to use the atom for peaceful purposes. Gov. Sandford saw the project as a ‘symbol indicating our determination to continue moving forward . . symbolic of the fact that the South is moving into this new age with confidence and high expectations . . ’ Gov. Harrison viewed the plant as ‘a concrete expression of the conviction of its builders that the South stands on the threshold .of a great awakening and a great fulfilment.’ The plant, and similar ones to follow, Gov. Harrison went on, “are the advance guard of the Southern Renaissance’. Dr. Robert E. Wilson, commissioner with the Atomic Energy Commission, noted that the world’s energy require ments are increasing twofold every 10 years. Studies of the Parr Program ,he said, are in line with a short range AEC purpose of making large nuclear power plants compet itive in high fuel-cost areas by 1968. Holder of 16 honorary degrees, Dr. Wilson added ‘there is no substitute for the knowledge gained from actually de signing, building and operating selected prototypical plants such as the one at Parr. ‘This reactor is not expected to produce anywhere near economic power’ he explained, but emphasized ‘you now have at your disposal a very versatile tool—a nuclear reactor with several unique features from which to gain knowledge which will contribute to the advancement of the nuclear industry as a whole . . ’ Operators of the Parr Plant, the Carolinas-Virginia Nu clear Power Associates is a non-profit alliance of four in vestor-owned electric utilities—the South Carolina Electic and Gas company, the Virginia Electric and Power company, Carolina Power and Light company and Duke Power com pany. As president of CVNAP and the South Carolina Electric & Gas company, S. C. McMeekin presided over the dedica tory program. Following the ceremonies guests were invited to tour the facility constructed on a woded hillside 25 miles northwest of Columbia. The Parr reactor is fueled by slightly enriched uranium dioxide pellets, with heavy water serving as coolant and moredator. Its domed vapor container rises five stories high above the rolling countryside. Power produced at Parr will be fed into the SCE&G sys tern, from which it may flow to CVNPA members and other interconnected companies.” South Carolina has entered a new epoch—the atomic age. I do not overlook the mamoth plant in our South West cor ner, but now at Parr we have three electric plants—water, steam and atomic. When I can pencil this in every day English IT1 go more into details, but in the high land area, beyond Jenkinsville four great utility companies joined to build an atomic plant. We note with special pride that the head of this atomic en terprise is our great ctizen—resourceful leader—builder and manager, S. C. McMeekin, a son of the farm, Clemson giad- uate and a Statesman in business, modest, urbane, pro gressive. Among the constructive figures in the history develop ment of South Carolina, S. C. McMeekin is pre-eminent; along with Leroy Springs, James C. Self and James L. Co ker, S. C. McMeekin has a record of solid achievement that is superlative. During his management of the South Carolina Electric & Gas company that great enterprise has brought in nearly two hundred and fifty million dollars of fresh capital for the development of our State, particularly the 23 counties in which the company operates. Year by year Mr. McMeekin—and his directors—have budgeted many millions of dollars to prepare for our home and industrial development 10 years ahead. This native son of the hills of old Fairfield—a Clemson man, has grown with a vision, but also with the practical grasp of realization. Mr. McMeekin has walked with the great but has never lost the common touch. At one moment with an eminent businessman and the next moment with his hum blest employee, Mr. McMeekin is the same courtly gentle man, just a natural person of gentility, suavity and sincer ity Mr. McMeekin is still in the prime of vigorous and re sourceful manhood and his life holds the promise of contin ued and greater service to our State and Nation. Speaking of conformity, you’ve noticed that subordinates —and favor seekers—rush to endorse whatever the Chiet says. Of course I recognize the spirit of loyalty which fre quently prompts this strict conformity, but it needn’t be servile. A man might appropriately say nothing at times and let the Chief’s words speak without more. I observed that whatever Mr. Kennedy said was forthwith used by subordinates, even Cabinet members, as the irre futable truth, the ipse dixit of the old Romans, you know. One day Mr. Kennedy said Cuba was no threat, but Ber lin was. The numerous small men in Mr. Kennedy’s shadow repeated that. And even the day before Mr. Kennedy awoke to the threat and peril of Cuba to our well-being some small Washington statesmen repeated that Cuba was no threat to us. Sometimes a man is speaking off-hand, without a pre pared speech and notes, will experience an oratorical exub erance that bursts forth in unguarded phrases. Even so thoughtful and collected a man as President Wilson felt the inspiration of the crowd and said in a speech “America shoud have incomparably the greatest navy in the world”. That wouldn’t excite any foreign criticism today, but at that time Great Britian was regarded as the Queen of the seas and “Rule Britannia” was the great British cry. Today, of courst, Great Britain’s navy is less than ours; we have the greatest navy in the world. President Wilson had changed the wording before the ad dress was officially published, so as to say that America should have the most adequate navy in the world. Immed- nately thereafter all the small figures began talking about, the most adequate navy. So, its no new thing. Verily, verily, times have changed. In my youth, the Re publicans were deeply and strongly entrenched in Massachu setts, and had all the money in the world, more or less, you' know. Today, behold: An advertisement in the Wall Street Journal of New York which says in part: “A message from embattled Massachusetts. It takes money to run against a Kennedy. Won’t you help?” This call to citizens of the Na tion !
