Raeford United Methodist Church
participated with Earl Fowler,
manager of the chamber, and his
daughter Carmen, and another
adult volunteer. Junior Blue.

through the shopping center pick

be expanded into other areas of
Hoke County and that a permanent
committee for the campaign would
be established.

* Registration Deadline Nears
For 'Life And Breath' Trek
If you haven't registered to
participate in the "Life and
Breath" Backpacking TREK being
conducted by the Uwharrie Trail
Club on October 15-17, you better
^ hurry!
Registration deadline has been
extended to Friday, October 1. The
two-day TREK will cover 20 miles
of the Uwharrie National Forest
which begins at the edge of
Randolph County and extends into
Stanly County. Overnight camp site
will be in Montgomery County.
Evening entertainment is scheduled
for Saturday night.
Indications are that mid-October
^ is going to a colorful time along the
trails with autumn foliage color.
The 20-mile TREK is not a
strenuous trail, according to TREK
Coordinator, Jack White. It will be
more appealing to the less ex
perienced hiker than some of the
western North Carolina mountain
trails.
Uwharrie Trail Club President
? Mike Chisholm will be TREK
Leader. Meals will be provided at
the camp sites and to carry on the
TREK. Emergency communi
cations, transportation and medi
cal service will be available at all
times.
Participants will obtain a mini
mum of $200 in sponsor donations
to go on the TREK. The funds will
go to the American Lung Associa
tion of N.C., Mid-State Region, to
aid the Association in its patient
service and health education work
in the central part of the state.
Early registrants have already
started turning in the sponsor
contributions, according to Lung
Association Mid-State Regional Di
rector, Mary Jane Knight. Special
awards will be given to those who
raise the greatest amount. All
TREKKERS will receive TREK
t-shirts and certificates of achieve
ment after the event.
Registration and kits may be
obtained by writing or calling the
Lung Association at ALANC, Mid
State Regional Office, P.O. Box

Dear editor:
Although it's still two years
before the next Presidential elec
tion, some people are already
turning their thoughts to it. Several
potential candidates are already
mapping plans.
Other people say it's far too early
to be thinking about an election
two years away, but they're wrong.
I'll explain why.
It's now customary to name the
economy after whatever President
is in office. Hence we have Reagan
omics.
So you can see the name of a
President is very important. What
if somebody named Jones got
elected? Jones-nomics? Wouldn't
work at all.
Nobody knows who the next
President will be but it's clear, in
case Mr. Reagan doesn't run, we
ought to be giving some thought to
how his name can be hooked to the
economy and still come out in a
fairly pronounceable way.
To get our thinking turned in
that direction let's run down the list
of early potential candidates to see
if they qualify from an ear stand
point:
Bush-nomics.
Kennedy-nomics.
Mondale-nomics.
Baker-nomics.
O'Neill-nomics.
Glenn-nomics.
Jackson-nomics.
Those of course are just some
people already in politics. What if
an outsider shows up? For ex
ample, the head of Chrysler, Lee
Iococca, who has Presidential
qualities because he sure knows
how to borrow money, Iococca
nomics? That requires further
thought.
1 don't know how we fell into
naming economy after a President,
probably some newspaperman
started it, and I don't know that it
should be continued.
There are some economics times
no President would want to have his
name tacked to.
Yours faithfully,
J.A.
