braved the bad weather in hope
of seeing the drama. Lost

show. It was only the second
night to be rained out this

hoped next year to have a
performance to honor Senior
Citizens from all over the state.

JESSE HELMS A CITIZEN -SENATOR
"Jesse Helms is not one of your back
slapping, hand-wringing, affable garden variety
political office seekers." v'f9nanot 7272
A few years back, Jesse Helms was elected
President of the Raleigh Rotary Club, the
oldest and second largest civic club in North
Carolina.
He didn't sit back and glory in it. He set
about to challenge the club with a series of
new programs - like one to raise money
for a boys' home. That year, the club had
the highest attendance in its history and
won a district award for new members;
That's Jesse Helms working to get
things done. And that's why the Freedoms
Foundation gave him two awards, and why
the Raleigh Exchange Club gave him its
Golden Deeds award, and why the Southern
Baptist Convention gave him its national
award for Service to Mankind. v
All his life, Jesse Helms has worked to
make things better than he found them. And
that's ' why we need to send him to the;
United States Senate.
I YES, I beliavt in Mat Halmi and I want
. to htlp alact him at our Citizan-Sanator.

the ten counties are urged to
begin making items in
preparation for the sales.
Successful bazaar sales were
held in May during Senior
Citizen Month at the Southgate
Mall in Elizabeth City and
during the 230th Anniversary
Celebration in Edenton in June.
Both the public and the senior
citizens enjoyed the occasions,
as well as providing additional
income for the participants. The
public, especially the young,
were most appreciate of the
talents of the elderly.
HAPPINESS
Take a heaping cup of
PATIENCE, ,
And a big heartful of LOVE;
Add two handsful of
GENEROSITY,
To all of the above;
Then blend in a dash of
LAUGHTER
And some UNDERSTANDING,
too;
Sprinkle generously with
KINDNESS
And MEMORIES', of old and
new;
Add a lot of FAITH and mix well
To make it rich and sweet,
And enjoy a heaping portion
With everyone you meet!
