Jesse Helms, currently
running against Nick
Galifianakis to succeed Senator
B. Everett Jordan, who was
defeated by Nick in the
Democratic Primary, first
gained prominence 25 years
ago, in the Coastal Plain
League.
He had just finished a hitch in
the Navy, and had landed a job
at a R(»noke Rapids radio
station. When a vacancy oc
curred in the Coastal Plain, he
launched a vigorous campaign
to see that Roanoke Rapids was
the replacement.
It was a tough undertaking.
Several other towns wanted a
berth in the highly resnected

Jaycees in his community to a
fever pitch, despite the fact the
city had no ball park available.
Helms was pretty emotional
about the whole thing. To such
an extent that at one league
meeting, when the circuit’s
directors temporarily frowned
on the Roanoke Rapids ap
plication, he broke down and
wept.
Later, Coastal Plain officials
had a change of heart, and the
Roanoke Jays came into being.
Everybody in town pitched in to
get a ball park ready, and the
final boards for the grandstand
were nailed just hours before
the opening game.
It’s up to North Carolina’s
voters to decide whether Helms
is qualified to serve in the U. S.
Senate, and a better man than
Galifianakis. But whatever his
ability, his dogged deter
mination was established long
ago.
New Bern’s 13-year-old Babe
Ruth League All-Stars, champs
of North Carolina, are hungry
for victory next week in the
Southeastern Regionals at
Nashville, Tenn. Eight, and
possibly 10 states, will be
represented.
Siq)porters of the team have
been busy since Tuesday
soliciting contributions from
New Bern’s business firms and
individual citizens to defray
transportation and other costs
involved in the week-long
tournament.
Winning the State crown not
only brought honor to the local
youngsters, but wide publicity
to New Bern. Just in case you
