* By BaiaW. Greenwood ATTBKMATH...Theunpre aedentoi (in North Carolina) up amga at ccmaervative strength Aown by the iandsiide victory at Dan Moore, the mountain man, over Rich Prayer (the to bacco man) will have these re mit*. i. A renewed attempt to start another newspaper in Raleigh to compete with the News & Ob aarver-Raleigh Times monopoly. Both ot these papers were all cut for Mr. Preyer. So, the talk at "the need for another news paper here" has begun anew. If it comes, the battle will cost the ies concerned—the Daniels termined, conservative opposi tion on the other—much, much mom than was spent by both aides in the recent gubernatorial on one side and the de battle. Watch this one. 2. Republican Candidate Rob ert Gavin will pcH only about half at many votes against Dan Moore this faB az he did against Terry Sanford four years ago. If Mr. Preyer had been nominated by the Democrats on June 27, Gavin's chances for victory would have been at least as bright—possibly brighter—than in 1960. 3. Dr. 1. Beverly Lake will climax an interesting career as a member of the U. S. Senate, or on the State Supreme Court, more likely the latter. 4. Joseph Branch, Enfield at torney who looked less and less Mhe Boris Karloff as the Moore campaign progressed, will go to the State Supreme Court if he wishes. He turned down an ap pointment as State's Attorney General tendered by Gw. Hodg es. Our current Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court, Emery B. Denny, climbed to the court via managing J. M Broughton's campaign for Governor. 5. There are people close to Nominee Moore who want to see his administration begin with a complete, independent, outside audit of the State's fiscal affairs —particularly as they relate to that pet of every Governor, the Emergency and Contingency Fund, and the gargantuan State Highway Fund. There is not the slightest hint of any irregulari ties here, but an honest, burning desire to see the figures laid out so die public can see and under stand them, and how they have been handled. ROCKING CHAIR . . . Th* last time we can recall a Gov emor's coming out publicly for or against a candidate was 20 years ago this spring when R. Gregg Cherry and Dr. Ralph Mc Donald were having it out. It was in 1044, and J. M. Broughton was terminating an usually strong and effective four years in office. Dr. McDonald, who had run eight years earlier, losing to Clyde R. Hoey in 1936, was not doing very well against old Gregg. Gov. Broughton look ed in neither direction. But in a speech of desperation near the close of the campaign Dr. Ralph charged that the ad ministration had made big mon ey through pushing the sale of Rocking Chair whiskey in the ABC stores about the State. Old Rocking Chair (sometimes refer red to as "Done Got Me") and a MYMM 0!Y MMY-MX Mow (anytng toMEMte Noth: and Mortar Mtx For R<M4MhtM**d*CzH BUI bread known * Mwate Stock still bring back to thousands of Tarhe^s bitter mesnociea of World War H. Inthdte days they teemed 1b have the sharp, angy odor—let alone the taste—of a fine brand of vamish-remover. Great shades of purple hearts and ruptured dudes! When McDonald made the charge, Broughton turned loose the Big guns. This cinched it. Gregg Cherry beat Dr . Ralph by around 50,000 votes. But Cherry's total vote of 185,000 was less than the amount by which Moore de feated Sanford-sponsored Preyer 20 years later. Gov. Cherry leaned to Kerr Scott over Charles Johnson, but played it neutral. Kerr Scott lilted Hubert Olive, but felt it better to keep his support on a private basis. Gov. Sanford did not want to, had not planned to, go to bat publicly for Preyer. But. in the end, there seemed to be no way around it His tele vision endorsement they are saying in Raleigh, merely served to double the vindictiveness and activity of the Lake people. POLITICAL TIMM... With all the bitterness brought on by the campaign for Governor, there was some wry, arrow-in theback (it only hurts with I laugh) fun, too. It seemed for a time there that everything got political. A few days before the second Primary vote, we heard a radio station announce the time as "20 min utes Preyer to nine". Somebody probably called up at once to complain, for the next time signal from that sta tion evened things up by saying: "Five minutes Moore and it will be nine o'clock." BLOOD AND WATER... We thought Robert Scott would win out for Lieutenant Governor. John Jordan, third man in the first, left the impression around that he was leaning to Scott. Clifton Blue made a tremendous gain, fought a clean, hard, hon est fight, but just did not have quite enough going for him. By and large, this was a clean cam paign. One thing we cannot — and never will be able to — under stand: why it was that Ralph Scott, uncle of Bob, tore himself to pieces in support of Preyer but never said a mumbling word on behalf of his nephew. Now we think a book could be written —and may be, too—on this one. Uncle Ralph, fine man though he may be, did Bob Scott no good . . . and in the opinion of many came within an inch of personalty throwing the battle to Blue. There must be a lot of re sentment around Haw River. Star-spang!ed savings p!an Moat of us tMnk about the future In terma of paying oft the mortgage, educating the children, providing a retirement income. But with the world the way it ia today, if* almost impossible to make pl-Tt* for your own future without considering the future of your conn* try, too. When you buy V. 8. Savings Bonds, your money takes on both jobs. It grows to build your Rnancial etrmtgth. At the same time, it helps Uncle watch over pur peace and security. Why not give your savings dollars this double assignment? You'll be joining millions of American families who are investing in their eountrys fatnre — and you'll probably fee! pretty good about it. 7f#oooy(otnyAw*tyoBMnh#n^< Payroll PhntwA** yonwor*.

HMtth,M)!y Dp (T^em The Amaaaeam MsdBkml About 20 yeata ago the ever ege American could expect to die when he reached the retire ment age of 65. Today seventeen and a h-M million Americana are over HC, and the generation that can ex pect to live an average of 100 years may well be the genera tion now being born. Bat just livb* he^er imt enough. Extra years mean little unless they're healthy, active years. You can enjoy all the adddd years modem medicine has given you — you can keep young in spirit, body and mind — by practicing a Httle modera tion and foHowing these seven simple steps: 1. See your family physician regularly for a physical checkup Today he can diagnose and treat successfuHy almost any disease or ailment, if he finds it eerly enough. He can also prevent many of the illnesses that may oherwise come your way. 2. Watch your diet. As she years pass you usually need less food, and there is some shift in nutritional requirements. You will need more protein, vita mins and fluids, but fewer fats and calories. No one can feel young and peppy when he's car rying extra weight It's not only tiring, its a threat to your health. If you need to lose weight, see your physician. He can establish a proper diet by which you'll lose weight without missing out on important nutri ents. 3. Get gdeqnste rest. 3oth mind and body need peace and quiet to recoup from the rigors of the day. Know your limita tions and avoid over - exertion and strain, both physically and mentally. Excessive emotional tension can wear you down too, so take each job as it comes; not everything at once. Plenty of rest can help you see things in their proper perspective, and a sense of htumor is your best anti dote for tension. 4. Pursue physical exercise. The mark of an "old" person is creaking joints, aching backs and a myriad of complaints. Keep all your body part! in good work ing order by using them. Fre quent and planned exercise — mowing the lawn, a brisk walk to work, a round of golf, a re freshing swim, or even a game of croquet—wil give you a zest ful enjoyment of life. 5. Fill your days with produc tivity. The quickest way to "old age" is through boredom. So keep up your interest in your work and your surroundings. By doing a good job and taking pride in your work, your enthu siasm for living will belie your years. 6. Participate in community affairs. Some people pursue the i luxury of fussing and fretting [about themselves at home alone. !But, if you want to be among AK Hew: (byClemmie C. Levin, Office Manager) ACP PrevMaa EHaeMva Individual farmers, or groups of {farmers, with conservation problems on their land would do well to discuss the matter with ASCS personnel and com mitteemen, Jack BL Wiggins, Chairman, Swain ASC County Committee says. Many times the cost-share as sistance available under the Agricultural Conservation Pro gram makes it possible to carry out projects that farmers can not accomplish alone. Mr. Wiggins explained that, with the!964 ACP well under way, work has already been started on formulating the 1965 program which will be in effect this fall and next year. ACP applies to farmland throughout the 80 States, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. It is espec ially effective since it is for mulated by the local people to deal scientifically with local— as well) as national — conservat ion problems. Needed conserva tion measures are recommended by local farm leaders and tech nicians of several agencies and organisations.

A program was given at the conclusion of the school last Fri day evening. the happiest people—the doers— share your time and talents with such things as raising funds for charity, getting out the vote and participating in programs for civic improvement. 7. Prepare for your future. An other shortcut to "old age" is worry — and worry, besides put ting you in an unpleasant frame of mind, can sometimes lead to illness. Many worries about to morrow can be avoided if you plan today and budget for your future financial needs with such things as insurance and savings j programs. outstrip the available program funds, pslosity is given to wosdt that ia needed moat Where lands diould be conver ted to trees or wildlife habitat, or where existing timber stands need to be improved, ACP may help through cost-sharing for tree-planting practices or stand improvement on farms and woodland holdings. Vegetative cover, however, is the most widely used and adap ted method of controlling eros ion. COMpBMM# June 30 was the target date for all farm visits to be made to farms requiring a farm visit and for the acreage reports to be returned to the county office. Tbla work wea completed before a* completion date. Of the acreage reports com pleted to date, 10 farms have to bacco in excess of the farm al Idtment Excess farms should notii^r the county office within 10 days from the date of notice of planted acreage of their in dentions. Unless adjustment is made, marketing quota penalty will be due and price support will not be available. Reporters checking compliance this year were P. ML Brendle, A. T. Fisher, and John B. Greene.
