Carter to visit only 7inston-Salcm . RALEIGH (AP) President Jimmy Carter will make just one campaign appearance in North Carolina and has dropped plans to swing through the eastern part of the state, Gov. Jim. Hunt said Tuesday. Carter is scheduled to visit Winston-Salem Oct. 9, Hunt said, adding that the president thought North Carolina was very important and was putting a The chairman of the state campaign for Carter said Monday he was more optimistic about a second appearance by the president. "I'd say the chances for that are 50-50," Wallace N. Hyde said. Until recently, Carter campaign officials had said the president probably would campaign personally in eastern North Carolina, most likely in Greenville. Grocery prices, booot inflation rate WASHINGTON (AP) The biggest increase in grocery prices in five years pushed consumer prices up 0.2 percent in August, causing an annual rate of inflation of 8.6 percent, government officials said Tuesday. Auto prices also rose sharply, although the price of gasoline declined for the fourth consecutive month. Grocery prices rose 2.3 percent in August, the most for any month since July 1975, when they increased 2.4 percent. The severe drought that destroyed crops in some sections of the country was largely to blame, analysts scud The price of meats, poultry, fish and eggs rose a combined 4.1 percent, with egg prices alone up 6.6 percent to an average price per dozen of 91 cents. The Labor Department said the rise in food prices accounted for about half of the overall increase of 0.7 percent in the Consumer Price Index in August. Staff Vvrlisr Although one official at North Carolina Memorial Hospital said he was skeptical about federal warnings, Rely tampons are being removed from ths market by their producer, Procter & Gamble.' The Food and Drug Administration and the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta have said use cf the product may be linked to a rare and occasionally fatal bacterial infection called toxic shock syndrome. Officials at NCMH said no cases of the syndrome have been reported at the hospital. Chief Administrative Resident of Obstetrics and Gynecology Ken Treadwell said he knew of "no data in scientific literature' that blamed Rdy for the syndrome. "The link may net mean anything. It's hard fcr anyone to say," he said. The syndrome is a recently discovered bacterial infection that strikes women under 30 during or just after their menstrual period. The government said women who used the Rely brand may run a greater risk of contracting the disease than women who used ether brands. The disease is characterized by a sudden onset of high fever, vomiting, diarrhea and rapid drop in blood pressure, often resulting in shock and a sunburn-like rash. . Preliminary tests conducted by the National Center for Disease Control indicated that all users cf tampons ran the risk cf getting the illness, but Rely users may face a greater risk. Procter' & Gamble asked retailers to remove the product from their shelves earlier this week, and area pharmacies have complied with the request. The stores reported no complaints from customers about the The risk cf contracting the disease has been estimated at about .3 cut of 100,000 women cf menstruating age per year. There have been 259 reports since 1975. Procter & Gamble'cfficials said that the product was being removed from the market to discontinue the controversy. From page 1 50,003 people are classified as sections 3 and 5, while section 18 covers everything else, he said. Because Durham and Greensboro operate privately owned bus systems, North Carolina has a surplus of federal funds in sections 3 and 5. Under the proposed provision, the governor of each state could . channel this unused ooey money into towns cf his choice. Cohen said that this provision would eliminate some competition for federal transit funds by relying on the governor's discission. "Being able to tap a larger pool of money, and thus gradually increasing transit servicethat is our goal," Cohen said. From pags 1 of Republican John East, a candidate for the U.S. Senate.

His wife, Nancy, was campaigning in Mt. Airy, he said. Cobey said he had been spending 75 percent of his time fund-raising. "I'd like to meet every voter in the state, but that's not possible," he said. Many of the volunteers present said they had never met the candidate before.

He called for public access to meetings of the State Advisory Budget Committee and claimed that closed sessions had led to waste and improper political uses of state money. "I ! believe economy must start at the highest level," Cobey said. He said he thought the position of lieutenant governor could; be a part-time job, with a part-time salary. . . On other issues, Cobey said he disapproved of a state constitutional amendment that allow the governor and lieutenant governor to run for re-election. He also said that as lieutenant governor he would work more closely with the legislature than Green has. fkt rflWfrrtlC jiff EX!TmtimjJ8 ff'.'iaaiiind i il m!m turn ODAL t MM FTSSSi ! ti HI I I II?

Jill lVi AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) Residents of Maine voted Tuesday right to keep open the controversial Maine Yankee nuclear power plant. It was the first time the issue of closing an existing nuclear plant was put to voters in the United States. 'With. 353 of 655 precincts, or 55 percent, reporting, there were 55,207 "Yes" votes, in favor of closing the plant, to 79,543 "No" voters, or against closure. Turnout for the single-issue referendum was reported unusually high in many cities and towns. In Portland, Maine's largest city, officials said tournout rivaled that of the 1976 presidential election. " In downtown Augusta, volunteers had hung scores of brightly colored balloons in the old warehouse headquarters of the Maine Nuclear Referendum Committee, the group that spearheaded the drive against nuclear power. Uptown, on Edison Drive, "Save Maine Yankee" TV commercials played continuously in the elegant lobby of Central Maine Power Co., principal owner of the plant targeted by the referendum campaign. OHM 2 HOUZS famous ALfos coo:ci2s Km & to delivery rsarvation At the local Holiday Inn, the industry sponsored "Save Maine Yankee Committee" prepared a victory party. Paul Lisccrd cf the Greater Portland Nuclear Referendum Committee had said earlier that if the "No" votes won, "I think it'll be an indication that we haven't done a good job in getting cur argument to the public. We're bucking the tide of decades of nuclear promotion." The referendum question sought to shut down Maine Yankee and ban any future generation of electric power in Maine from nuclear energy. The 840-megawatt "power plant, which provides about one-third of Maine's electricity, was built in 1972 in picturesque Wiscasset, on the Maine coast. CMP, Maine's largest electric company, with more than 700,000 customers, owns 33 percent of the plant. A central issue in the pro-nuclear campaign was how much it would cost Mains consumers to replace the power now produced by Maine Yankee. The Save Maine Yankee Committee claimed shutting down the plant would cost consumers an additional $140 " million the first year it was not operating. The referendum committee claimed it would cost far less and would encourage the development of alternative energy, primarily hydroelectric power. About 20 percent of CMP's power is already generated by water.jthe most of any New England electric company.
