A citizen governor
like George \tood
makes a lot of sense
for North Carolina.
George Wood was born in 1926 above a country store his
ather operated in Camden County. From modest, though
comfortable surroundings, George learned to enjoy life's chal
lenges on terms his father taught: a driving work ethic
and a sense of values that stressed positive productivity and
community service. 1
Returning from wartime service in the Merchant Marines
?, U -V he 1940 ’ s > Ceor ß e earned his degree in agronomy at
N ° dh Car ° ,ma s,ate ar| d returned to Camden County to build
a KJO-acre farm into the highly successful agri-business oper
ation it is today. v
Free enterprise in America still has opportunities for
people who will work hard and accept life's challenges,"
Wood believes. He also believes in helping others the way he
was helped in starting out.
Believing his political career is a citizen service, he has
° dds seve ' al “mes in fighting entrenched political
eaders. His first race for the legislature was against a strong
incumbent. Local leaders advised him to stay out of the race.
But he felt he could offer a better service for his area, and ran
anyway. H.s narrow victory in 1962 was followed by large mar
gins in succeeding years. 6
People tell me they want a governor who is not afraid
to make the hard decisions," George Wood said recently in
explaining his decision to campaign for governor. "I believe
I arti qualified to serve that way, and I'm running in such away
that the only obligation I will take into the governor's office
is my obligation to all the people of North Carolina."
