Hefner Blast Blake
Congressman Bill Hefner has
expressed great appreciation for
i the vote of confidence he received
' in the general election November 2.
"It shows that the people want
someone who is honest with them,
who works hard, and who truly
represents the needs of the Eighth
Congressional District," Hefner
said following his re-election to a
fifth term of office.
"The election here and in other
North Carolina districts shows a
, repudiation of deceptive campaign
activities which were practiced to
the extreme by Republican Con
gressional candidates throughout
the state," he said.
The recent general election cam
paign presented the most difficult
challenge to Hefner since he un
seated Republican Congressman
Earl Ruth in 1974.
Although his opponent, Harris
Blake, greatly outspent Hefner in
r the campaign, the Democratic
incumbent pulled approximately
59% of the vote and carried 9 of the
district's 12 counties.
Blake was also aided by Senator
Jesse Helms' Congressional Club, a
private right-wing organization
which was involved in most GOP
Congressional campaigns in the
state.
Fred Corriher, Hefner's cam
paign chairman, called Blake's
campaign "the most vicious, de
ceitful and expensive campaign
ever forced upon the decent people
of the Eighth District."
Hefner was very upset by "scur
rilous attacks" on his character
and performance.

"I have done a good job. I have
lived up to the trust placed in me,"
Hefner said.
"But no job is worth lying to get
or lying to keep. I am pleased that
the good people of this district did
not buy the false representations
made," he added.
The Congressman referred spe
cifically to Blake's television com
mercial which accused Hefner ' of
giving textile jobs to the Chinese.
"That attack was uncalled for,
was false and ridiculous," he said.
"If the public is to maintain
confidence and respect for govern
ment and public office holders, the
political campaigns must be con
ducted in a forthright, honest and
ethical manner," Hefner said.
Hefner praised the hundreds of
-supporters throughout the 12
county district who worked tireless
ly in his behalf.
"Advertising doesn't win elec
tions; people do," he said.
"We have a people organization,
and oar people can't be bought.
When you stay close to the people,
you not only win at the polls, but
you also do a better job in Congress
because you know for sure how the
people think. I thank all who voted
and worked for me," the Con
gressman said.
"Competition is good in politics.
People should have an opportunity
to express opinions on whether or
not they believe the person in office
should stay on the job. I support
that democratic system. But I
believe the public deserves honesty
and fair play in politics and in
campaigning.

How is the new shopping center going to affect the downtown area ofRaeford?
Willie Jacobs
"Food Town will definitely hurt
the food stores. The population is
not big enough for 4 or 5 drug
stores. Sky City will damage
everything downtown. With the
economy the way it is, people are
going to be looking for cheaper
prices."
Virginia Daniels
"It won't affect any of it but the
grocery stores and drug stores.
They'll be good buys at Revco and
Senior Citizens will get discounts.
Maybe if Sky City gives Senior
Citizens a discount they'd get more
business there too. The variety will
be larger at Sky City."
N.J. Lanier
"It's not gonna hurt me. It'll
cause downtown to close for a
while, two or three months, until
the newness of the shopping center
wears off, then I feel it'll be
business as usual."
