Mobley’s Carolina Review
Senate Race (Maybe)
...The U.S. Senate
race between incumbent
Republican Jesse Helms
and his Democratic
challenger, John Ingram,
seems to be gaining
momentum after several
months of relative quiet.
Even the traditional Labor
Day “official” beginning of
the campaign for both men
brought little attention.
Perhaps much of the
inattention * has been
because of the apparent
huge lead that Helms has
held over North Carolina’s
maverick insurance com
missioner.
Events of the past couple
of weeks, however, have at
least heightened Tarheel
awareness of the race even
if the gap between the two
men has not lessened.
Foremost in the news last
week was Ingram’s
rejection of the insurance
industry’s request for a 9.1
per cent increase in
homeowner’s insurance
rates. His action drew

PURCHASES a
critism that the rejection
was politically motivated.
Ingram also was catching
flac over his attendance at
regional bearings he had
scheduled concerning the
proposed rate increases.
Ingram supposedly at
tended only one of the four
hearings around the state.
Ingram, for his part,
seemed to be defending his
cations reasonably well but
the controversy caused still
more calls for Ingram to
step down as insurance
commissioner.
The resignation request
brought a timely defense of
Ingram from fellow
Democrat, Gov. Jim Hunt.
In a letter to a Greens
boro attorney, Gov. Hunt
said he approved of
Ingram’s decision “not to
resign as commissioner
while conducting his U.S.
Senate campaign.”
The governor carried the
debate a bit further by
pointing out that Sen. Helms
should not be expted to
resign his incumbency
either while managning his
campaign.
Meanwhile, the Helms’
campaign was distributing
literature accusing Ingram
of taking part in expensive
junkets while in public of
fice.
The accusations brought
quick response from the
insurance office that die
trips in questions were taken
as part of Ingrams’ role as
insurance commissioner
and were not paid for at
taxpayer expense.
Ingram in turn, continued
to ask about questions about
the huge campaign chest of
Jesse Helms (now around
|5-million.
At week’s aid, Ingram
was in Ashville with
President Carter (Carter’s
second N.C. trip in as many
months to help Ingram is not
over yet. And with ap
proximately 76 per cent of
the state’s registered
voters being democrat,
anything can still happen.
Ask Luther Hodges.
Hunt-Hobby.. .Gov. Hunt
recently escaped what could
have been a very un
comfortable meeting with
AFL-CIO members in
Charlotte. The governor
spoke to the group only days
after his Commerce
Secretary, Lauch Faircloth,
called the state’s anti-union
climate a “selling point”
with industry.
Needless to say, the union
members were quite upset.
But union leader, Wilbur
Hobby, introduced Hunt as
the “Best friend of the
working man in the
governor’s mansion since
Kerr Scott and coming up
fast.”
From there it was roses
at least until the next crisis
at the state ports...
PCB...According to Hunt
press secretary, Garry
Pearce, a new site for
temporary storage of initial
road-shoulder scraping of
PCB will protably be found
rather than Engage in a
court battle with the city of
Warrenton (the original
site).
If a new site cannot be
found, however, the
governor is prepared to go
to court.
Surprise... The most
surprising development in
liquor-by-the-drink
competition is the rather
one-sided lead held by the
mixed-drink proponents
referendums now stand at 4
to 2 in favor of mixed ,
drinks. Dare County
defeated the issue.

PICKIN' FOR SANDHILLS—RusseII Powell is a popular mandolin player and owner of
the Pinedene Jazz Center in Southern Pines.
Mandolin Player In Golfing Kingdom
SOUTHERN PINES
There was the Pied Piper of
Hamelin!
Robert Preston made it as
“The Music Man”.
And, there’s Russell
Powell of Southern Pines.
The Southern Pines area
is world famed for golf and
horses.
But Powell’s big thing is
the mandolin.
He got his first one out of a
Montgomery Ward catalog
in 1936 and learned to play
from a little book enclosed
with the instrument.
Powell does not read
music.
He is owner-operator of
the Pinedene Jazz Center.
“You should have been
here last Saturday. We had
10 people playing and even
more standing around
listening,” Powell said.
He is a native of Southern
Pines and takes great pride
in his town. “Actually it’s a
village,” he said. “It was
more or less laid out like a
little English village.”
It is this “village” concept
that gives Southern Pines
that special touch. It is not
the typical “little sleepy
Southern town” that
Hollywood portrays.
Southern Pines is alive.
True, it is a resort town,
but it has none of the hoopla
that is found in many such
areas.
But, don’t get the ‘idea
that nothing happens. It
does, but in a somewhat
subtle manner.
“Years ago,” Powell said,
“you would see people
getting off the train with
their steamer trunks, and
they would stay from the
first of November until
June. As an old-timer, you
can now walk down the
: street and see many new
faces, but you soon get to
know them.” He laughed
and said, “Us old-timers are
a little outnumbered today. ”
Southern Pines is a people
town, Powell pointed out. It
has little town commons
running throughout town,
and the “faithful” still
gather each morning at the
post office, drug store or
book shop to discuss im
portant issues of the day.
“I think all the little shops
uptown have really added
something to Southern
Pines”, he said. He was
talking about the interesting
shops on both sides of Broad
Street, Pennsylvania
Avenue and Bennett
Street. Visitors can
spend hours browsing in this
five or six block area.
Powell also noted that the
Arts Council has done an
excellent job in this area.
Powell loves his work, and
he loves his music. He has
many followers, and has
been called by them the
“President of Pinedene
College”, “Mayor of
Pinedene”, “Conductor of
the Pinedene Symphony”,
and “Commander of the
Pinedene Irregulars”.
Os course, it’s all in fun,
and that’s the feeling you

“My dad and I used to
operate a service station
and grocery store. We kept a
few picks and strings
around, and then a few in
struments and it just sort of
grew.”
“What convinced me most
that music was my thing
was people coming around
on cold days to get their cars
washed,” Powell added.
He says, “I would not
trade jobs with anybody.”
A stroll down a side street
padded with pine needles
puts you into the at
mosphere and stream of
Southern Pines living.
It would be difficult not to
mention the golf and horse
aspects of Southern Pines.
These activities draw many
people to the area.
Powell says, “I have
never played golf. But then I
wonder how many golfers
play the mandolin?”
Southern Pines is a
“special [dace”.
Walk down its streets.
Stop and say hello.
Like Russell Powell and
his music...it gets into your
blood.
To Serious Rheumatic Fever
School days are here
again and so are in
creased chances for children
to pick up infectious
diseases from one another.
A common contagious and
potentially dangerous in
fection is streptococcal sore
throat. It can lead to
rheumatic fever, which
damage the valves of the
heart. Fortunately, prompt
identification and treatment
of a strep throat with
penicillin or another an
tibiotic will cure the in
fection and remove the
threat of rheumatic fever.
“You, Your Child, and
Rheumatic Fever” is the
title of a free pamphlet
which may be requested
from the North Carolina
Heart Association, 1 Heart
Circle, Chapel Hill, N.C.
27514. It provides in
formation which all parents
should know about
protecting their child’s
heart.
Not every sore throat is a
strep throat. The only way
to make sure is for a
physician to swab the throat
so that a culture may be
made for microscopic
examination. Sometimes
the physician will prescribe
medication or given an
NOTICE!

injection without waging
gor the results of the Ugtoat
culture.
Here are the signs toioot#
for if your child complains
of a sore throat: £
1. Does the child have
fever? How much? ?
2. Does bis throat Aurt
when he swallows? «
3. Does it hurt under the
angle of the jaw when you
press gently? Do you’ feel
swollen glands there?
4. Did the sore throat
come on suddenly?
5. Does he have headache,
nausea, or vomiting?
6. Does he sneeze, cough,
have a runny nose, has his
voice changed, or has he lost
his voice?
Not all of these symptoms
need be present for the child
to have a strep infection, nor
do they necessarily indicate
strep, but they do mean that
you should seek medical
attention, so that treatment,
if necessary, may begin
without delay. .
Never open the door auto
matically to a knock. Know
whom you admit.
