DURHAM ? With 95 percent of the precincts
reported, there was anger and tears among some supporters
at Michaux for Congress headquarters as results
stowed LT. "Tim" Valentine leading with
to H. M. "Mickey" Michaux's 48,789 Tuesday night.
But Michaux's sentiments were, "It's going to be
alrittht." ? ?- - .
Michaux and Valentine were vying for the Democratic
nomination for the seat in the 2nd Congressional District
after Valentine called for a run-off~as a result of the
' primaries held recently. Michaux won 44 percent of the
votes in the June 29 primaries, trailed by Valentine who
received 33 percent of the votes. Twenty-three percent of
the votes were won by a third candidate/ James E.
Ramsey.
After making a speech, which he said wasn't a concession
speech but was to say to the people, 'Thanks.
Thanks so much for the job they have done," Michaux
then greeted his friends and co-workers, hugging some
and consoling those who could no longer hold on to the
hope that he would win.

Bigger Is Better?
By Ruthell Howard

The recent annexation by Winston-Salem of two fringe
communities, approved by the Board of Aldermen by a
5-2 vote, were opposed by Aldermen Larry Little, North
Ward, and Larry Womble, Southeast Ward, as a threat
to black voting strength in the city and "unfair" to those
being annexed against their will.
The annexation of Old Town-Hanes and WilshirePinedale
Manor suburbs was approved, at the July 19
meeting of the aldermen, and will take effect June 30,
1983. The areas will increase the city's population by 2.9
percent, and will add S85.4 million to the city's property
tax base.
Womble says he is against annexation because he feels
it is "unfair" tn nennl^ whn Hn nnt u/ant tn h#? ann#?*#?H
and he contends that the city should be concerned with
providing "quality services** for the residents it already
has. 4'I think there are many areas within our city that
need top quality service/' Womble says. "There are people
in our city, especially black people, who need access
to these types of services on a more quality basis and a

Still, he called the campaign a beginning and not an
end. "There is no question in my mind that this campaign
particularly proud to be a part of it and a part of you,"
Michaux said, stretching his arms out to a cheering
crowd. "There is no end. This is just banning .
"There are forces throughout this state that
are going to have to be reckoned with, and here
we are. You a in 7 heard the last yet. "

because we have begun to see how people can pull j
together and work together. We've got a good thing go
ing, and what we've got to do is keep it going. New roads
have been made in this, and we just can't let it go." \
Michaux then promised his workers that they will be
working for the principles his campaign promoted
"tomorrow morning, the next week and the next." 1

more frequent basis and I think we need to take care of
the ones that's inside the city." C
Womble says he feels "biggest is not always best" and /
the people being annexed "need to have some say-so" in 5
the decision-making process. "There should be some t
mechanism whereby they determine whether they want to c
be in the city or not," he says. "The master plan is for us c
to be annexed from now until 1985, and I don't think we .
should annex and annex like this."
Little, who says he has "political, economic and /
moral" objections, criticizes the North Carolina annexa- t
tion law as being "too liberal." v
"It doesn't require a public hearinc to determine r
whether they (those being annexed) want to be annexed,"
he says. 44 All that is required is that we can only annex by "
force land that is urban in character."
Little says it is "debatable" whether the additional j
taxes will sufficiently offset the responsibility the city i
assumes. "Right now we are straining our services inside
the city limits," he says. "If you continue to spread and i
spread, at some point, it tends to have a negative effect." I
He says he also doesn't subscribe to the 44bigger is better44 1
theory.
