Both speakers were somewhat thwarted in their appeals by the rather small attendance at the annual meeting, with Stephenson admitting sheepishly that his prepared speech referred to the “large turnout” an ticipated beforehand. Despite the poor showing in numbers (about 100 at tended), the SENCland meeting held something for everyone: crafts exhibits for the spectators, entertainment by the Mt.

SCA Inc. President Franklin Randolph of Brunswick County told the crowd that “It’s been a year of hard work and sweat, putting though this agency. We’re not where we’d like tobt but by trying hard, I believe we can make it.” Referring to "some people (who) are doing their best to tear it (SCA) up”, Randolph emphasized that "the goals of peace and harmony among the employees of SENCland” are still there. Randolph then introduced visiting candidates for the offices of state senator and state representative, as well as SENCland board members present, before Board Chairman Jackie Stephenson adjourned the meeting with the note that a brief board meeting would be held im mediately afterwards. Dr. Cottingham quoted a line from 19th-century Statesman Daniel Webster (engraved on the wall of the United States Senate) in his WILLIAM H.

Stephenson asserted that “The small-farm concept can, will, -n;st survive,” noting with pleasure the recent revival of interest in “the old cooperative movement”, using “group action to market the small farmer’s products”. Stephenson predicted that the farming industry in America would someday be pointed only in the direction of producing foodstuffs, with such non-edible crops as tobacco extinct. Director of the Brunswick County Economic Development Commission, he also noted that of the privately-owned farms which have gone out of business in the past 30 years, almost all were those with annual sales of less than $5,000 each, with corporate farms today still comprising only a tiny per centage of American agricultural interests. Jesse Helms Is In the mainstream. “I consider mvself a moderate, but McGovernGaliflanakis are too liberal for me. I can’t see sending a man to Washington who will cancel out the vote of Senator Ervin. That's why I'm supporting Nixon and Helms ♦his time around.” Clint Fuller, Immediate Past Chairman, Franklin County Democratic Party, Louisburg, N. C. Jesse Helms Is against forced busing. "Jesse Helms has been against forced busing for as long as I can remember. Galifianakis? When it really counted, he was 'undecided.' I am decided—for Jesse Helms.” Joe Brown. Acting Chairman-Wallace Oelegatlon-N.C., Democratic Convention, Greensboro, N. C. Jesse Helms tells it like it is. “I want to know where a man stands. I know where Jesse Helms stands. Nobody knows where Mr. Galifianakis stands. It’s just like Sen. Everett Jordan said—‘Galiafianakis can’t be trusted in anything he tells you.' How can you vote for a man you can’t trust? Jesse Helms has my vote.” Clyde Harris*. Former Democratic Legislator, Salisbury, N. C. Jesse Helms is tor America. "Jesse Helms appreciates what made this country great. I honestly can’t take the McGovernGalifianakis liberalism. Jesse knows that before we can do anything else we most reaffirm our faith in this great land.” Marion Parrott, Former Democratic Legislator, Kinston, N. C. Jesse Helms speaks for the people of North Carolina. “On the real issues, it’s Jesse Helms who's the moderate. I can see why the New York Times endorses Mr. Galifianakis—because he votes with the ultraliberals. Campaign propaganda can’t change his voting record. He’s too far to a the left. Jesse Helms represents the thinking of the majority of North Carolinians." Former Democratic Speak#, N.C. House of Representatives Greensboro, N. C. J Jesse Helms will keep America strong. —- 4 “Jesse won’t cut and run. McGovernGalifianakis would. Defense is more important than party. So’s this country.
