J. Most recently Buel was vice president in charge of person nel for Southern National Bank of North Carolina with headquarters in Lumberton.

Says Proper Care Will Add To Beauty Of Rugs Proper care will add to the -lite arid beauty" df- four Trigs and carpets, reminds Mrs. Lilt lie Little, extension housing and house furnishings special ist, North Carolina State Uni versity. Soil cuts down on the life of rugs and carpets and also detracts from their appear ance. You'll have four types of soil to remove. The first type is best described as sur face litter. Except for some stubborn clinging substances, such as hair and ravelings, litter is comparatively easy to remove. Ordinary dust is the second type of soil. Dust dulls the ap pearance, causes color changes and may eventually ruin the rug fibers. Heavy soil, such as mud, sand and oil, is very harmful to carpets and rugs. The sur face may look clean, yet each time someone walks across it, gritty soil may be ground deeper, cutting the pile and rug foundation. Sticky grease substances make up as much as five per cent of the total carpet soil. These act as binding agents which hasten the color-dulling process - fay snaking soil cling tightly. „ . To remove soil from rugs and carpets, Mrs. Little sug gests you follow the rule of “once”. Vacuum heavy traffic areas once a day; vacuum the entire rug or carpet thorough ly once a week. Remove all spots and 9tains at once. Get professional help for serious stains that don’t respond to home treatment. Then, for added protection, have a pro fessional clean rugs and car pets as needed. Clean top and back of rug cushions once or twice a year, Mrs. Little adds. Vacuum hair cushions carefully so as not to dislodge any of the hair and wipe off rubber cushions with a damp cloth. The bulletin, “Selecting Rugs and Carpets”, published by the North Carolina Agricul tural Extension Service, offers more tips on caring for, se lecting and buying a carpet.

Pictures of Democrats seeking a seat on the Watauga County Board of Education do not appear on the Democratic party’s political ad this week. As Mr. Mack Isaac, Republican Can didate for Representative for this District, pointed out at the Courthouse, “The School Board IS NOT an elective office, it is appointed by the North Carolina General Assembly.” The people of this County do not elect Board of Ed ucation members, therefore the space that these pictures would take up would be useless.

Bingham Tours Watauga And Predicts Election Victory Democratic congressional condidate and Boone resident Robert Bingham toured Wa tauga County Oct. 24 and 25 predicting that he will defeat incumbent Rep. James T. Broyhill in the Nov. 8 general election. “The voters of this county and District want a congress man who stands for something rather than always being op posed,” Bingbam told two party meetings. Bingham and local Demo cratic candidates spoke to Democratic gatherings at the end of each day’s tour. The speech-making was held at the Cove Creek Gym on Monday night and at the courthouse in Boone on Tuesday night. County commissioner candi date Glenn Hodges presided at both meetings. Hodges said many people have commented to him "about how quiet this election is.” "I’ll tell you why it’s so quiet,” he said. “The Republi cans ire scared to death.” He said the Democratic candi dates “man for man” out qualify their respective GOP opponents. Hodges said the Democratic candidates are “out-working their Republi can opposition.” In his remarks, Bingham scored Broyhill for “political maneuvering designed to kill Medicare and the seven per cent increase in Social Secur ity benefits for our elderly people.” Broyhill "jumped on the bandwagon when he saw that the two bills were going to pass,” and voted for them, Bingham said. He also accused Broyhill of neglecting to tell the whole truth about the nation's eco nomy. “All my opponent talks about is inflation,” Bingham Dr. Robert Randall For State Senate Roby Triplett Paid Political Adv. said. "He doesn’t talk about the other side of the coin. We’re enjoying record pros perity—as he well knows,” he said. Bingham said some execu tives of Broyhill Furniture Factories in Lenoir "don’t even agree with my oppon ent.” He said that William E. Stevens, senior vice president of the furniture company, and also treasurer of the Broyhill for Congress Committee, was quoted in several newspapers last week as saying the South ern Fall Furniture Market “has been a real smash for us.” Bingham said Stevens gave credit to the company's good showing "to a multi-million dollar showroom and office building and new introduc tions.” “The prosperity of our na tion under Democratic leader ship-.has made it possible for BrojWH Furniture Company to expand its facilities and en joy a booming business," Bingham said, “and I'm glad of that.” “But I wish my opponent would tell the voters about how his company is reaping the benefits of our prosperity, but for some strange reason he doesn’t,” Bingham said. Gun Sales And Mail Postmaster General Law rence F. O’Brien says the de partment has moved to stop a gun-selling scheme that seeks to capitalize on firearms-con trol legislation pending in Congress. The move was “based on the lack of credibility in the firm’s advertising claims.” New Jets For Air Force The Pentagon has announc ed that the Air Force is buy ing 99 improved Phantom jets from McDonnell Aircraft Cor poration costing about $272 million. “I am voting for Bob Randall for the Senate/* W.
