The commissioner said that Unusual Both and Democrats By JIM STORY North Carolina has its first Republican governor of this century as a result of the November 7 general election. Holshouser's victory was over Hargrove "Skipper" Bowles caused much elation among the Republicans in Madison County as well as throughout North Carolina. For history's sake, the last Republican governor of North Carolina was Daniel L. Russell, of Brunswick County, who served from 1897-1901. Also bringing great Joy to the Republicans was the election of former Democrat Jesse Helms over Democratic Rep. Nick Galifianakis for the If. S. Senate. Helms ran as a conservative Republican. The Nixon-Agnew landslide completed a night of delight for the members of the GOP. Democrats, somewhat Micro Switch Names Seeker Asst. Gen. Mgr. FREEPORT, ILL. John S. Seeker has been appointed to the newly created position of assistant general manager of MICRO SWITCH, a division of Honeywell, Inc. James S.

In his new capacity the 55-year-old Seeker will have responsibility for the engineering, manufacturing and marketing of all traditional MICRO SWITCH lines, including basic swit ches, industrial controls, commercial manual switches, proximities and mercury switches.

He added that another hearing would be held when the design for the route was finished by the engineers. Hawkins said he had no idea when construction on the new road would begin. Republicans Are Elated startled at the results of the governor's and U. S. Senate's results, were pleased, however, with the result of other top State offices, such as Lieutenant Governor, which was won by Jim Hunt, Democrat. The Democrats also remained in control of the legislature. Congressman Roy Taylor's victory over his Republican opponent Jess Ledbetter, was also pleasing to the Democrats. The Democrats also maintained a majority in Congress with something like a 57-43 edge in the Senate and 243-190 edge in the House, stretching their hold on Capitol Hill to 20 years. So one might surmise that both Republicans and Democrats were at least pleased and satisfied with portions of the election. positions, he was named staff assiataat to tht factory manager in 1954.

Prior to tbia promotion be was superin tendent of unes. since he allowed the registrat to cast a vote. This challenge cannot be sustained nor can It be overruled simply on the basis of dual registration unless there is a definite violation of the general statutes. It is not our intention, nor do we seek, to deny anyone his right to vote. So it is with this in mind that this vote will be counted and added to the official totals of Grapevine Precinct. However, by letter this board is forwarding to the Superior Court Solicitor of this district the full report and all information we possess concerning this matter for him to make a determination if the statutes have been violated. The board action in denying this challenge does not in dicate nor is it to be con sidered as a lack of concern over dual registration.

West Virginia Tech Man Hill ' Holshouser North Carolina's newly elected Republican governor, Jim Holshouser, can expect to make 5,000 to 6,000 ap pointments perhaps many more during his four-year administration. Appointive power is the strongest weapon a North Carolina governor possesses. He does not have the power to veto bills enacted by the General Assembly. Although Republicans gained 20 seats in the 1973 North Carolina legislature, Democrats will be in control. Holshouser, himself a veteran legislator, has said he doesn't foresee any major problems in dealing with the General Assembly. However, in past years Democratic governors have Rescue Squad Demonstration In Asheville The Buncombe County Rescue Squad will hold a public demonstration of the "Hurst-Power" rescue tool at 10 a.m., Saturday Nov. 18, in Asheville. All fire, rescue, and law enforcement agencies in western North Carolina are urged to send representatives, and the general public and the press are also cordially In vited. The "Hurst-Power" rescue tool, claimed by some as "The Best Rescue Tool Made in the world", is manufactured by the Hurst performance company, and costs ap proximately $4,000. The BCRS is seriously considering purchasing this tool, and will make it available to any agency that requests its use, on an emergency mutual-aid basis, according to rescue Chief Bill Melton. The tool is a hydraulic jack type unit, with an expansion range of 32", pulling or spreading with a force of 10,000 lbs. The tool is light in weight, and is designed for use by one man. Those interested in ob serving this demonstration should meet at the BCRS Squal Hall at 9:30 a.m., Saturday Nov. 18. The hall is at the corner of Hansel Ave. and Clayton St. Hansel Ave. breaks to the North im mediately west of the Smoky Park Bridge on U. S. 19423. Hurst personnel will hold a training and work session for squad members immediately after the demonstration.," from Robinson. It was Capps' seventh TD catch this season. Robinson's fourth touch down pass came with 27 seconds left in the third quarter on a 26-yard strike in Jeff Davis. The Lion's alternating starting quarterback, Jeff Conner, threw a 44-yard scoring pass to David Morgan in the fourth quarter. It was Conner's first pass attempt of the day. The remainder of the game was highlighted by three pass interceptions by Lions' safety man Tom Anderson, one of which saved a touchdown. Conner completed two of three passes for 106 yards hi the fourth quarter. The Lions' nationally ranked passing attack amassed 334 yards through the air.

Holshouser had breakfast Thursday with Gov. Bob Scott at the executive mansion in the first of a series of meetings leading to the changeover to the first Republican ad ministration in North Carolina this century. Between now and his inauguration early in January, the 38-year-old Holshouser will be forming his own "team" which he intends to put into top level positions of state government to form policy. High on his list is expected to be the appointment of a new Highway Commission and possible other personnel changes in the highway department. During his campaigning, Holshouser was critical of the Highway Commission. The secretaries of nine departments set up under state government reorganiiatin apparently will be replaced by Holshouser appointees. The nine are Sam Ragan, Department of Art Culture and History; Charles Bradshaw, Department of Natural and Economic Resources; Fred Mills, Department of Trans portation and Highway Safety; George W.

In the program he will outline to the General Assembly, Holshouser is expected to put education and mental health high on his priority list. He has endorsed the legislative package of the North Carolina Association of Educators calling for in creased spending of $236 million during the next biennium to improve education in the state. He also is expected to push for repeal of the state sales tax on medicine. As a legislator, Holshouser took aim several times at alleged misuse of state-owned cars by department heads and employees. During the 1971 legislative session he deplored the use of highway patrol cars to transport legislators and others to party and social functions.
