Light Turnout Expected In
Tuesday Primary Elections
By Audrey C. Lodato
Post Staff Writer
Election officials expect a light
voter turnout this Tuesday for the
primaries. Only about 20 percent of
the county’s registered voters are
expected at the polls. That’s appro
ximately 47,000 out of 242,000 voters.
Bill Culp, Supervisor of Elections,
stated, “We haven’t seen the
interest in voter registrations or
absentee voting. It’s not the inte-_
rest expected, given that there’s a
U.S. Senate race.”
He described the expected turnout
as “light to average.’’
Both Democrats and Republicans
have primaries for the U.S. Senate,
as well as local offices.
Republican candidates for the
U.S. Senate are James T. Broyhill,
who is predicted to win; super->
conservative challenger, David B.
Funderburk; and right-wing
dates are Walt Atkins^Bill ^Belk,
Milton Croom, Katherine Harper,
John Ingram, Ted Kinney, Clinton
Moore, Fountain Odom, Terry
Sanford, and Betty Wallace.
While most acknowledge Sanford
as the frontrunner, there is a good
possibility of a run-off.
Fountain Odom, popular Meck
lenburg County Commissioner,
expects a run-off and thinks he’ll be
part of it. He’s hoping for a large

In ChurchWorker Contest
Contestants, Churches, Merchants All
Stand To Gain From Participating
By Loretta Manago
Poat Managing Editor
The Charlotte Poet’s “Church
worker of the Year” campaign, the
weekly newspaper’s most vigorous,
annual subscription drive, remains
to be a success year after year for
several reasons
The most obvious reason is the
contestants who get people to sub
scribe to the Post, while earning
money for their churches as well as
earning valuable prizes for them
selves Then there are the adver
tisers. Merchants donate prizes such
as televisions, fur coats, certifi
es tea, Jewelry, and even trips to the
contest because they feel a commit
ment to the black community and
because they also believe that the
program Is a worthwhile one. Still
another reason for the success of the
subscription drive is founded in the
philosophy of the paper Itself. The
Charlotte Post strives to be the
“voice of the black community '’
With all of these factors consi
dered, tt is safe to say that without a
good coordinator, tha churchworker
contest will suffer tremendous*#,'
