And Seen The pa-suing of Puller H. Stines has keenly affected this writer as well as hundreds of others who have known him for many years... I have admired his quiet but cheerful disposition, his loyal friendship and his bright sense of humor, especially since his retirement... We have spent many hours together talking about serious matters as well as funny incidents... he always looked on the brighter side of life and I've never heard him speak disrespectful or slanderous about anyone... he lived two doors from this office and it was seldom I didn't see him every day... he enjoyed life to the fullest and until his recent stroke he sat on his porch, watched television, and visited his many friends up and down Main Street... he had no enemies... everybody was his friend... he - read almost every word in this newspaper every week and was often sitting on his porch reading the Bible when I arrived on Tuesday nights with the papers... I would take him his copy and if I failed to see him he would come in the office on Wednesday mornings to get a paper... last Tuesday night as I drove up with the papers, Jean, his daughter, came out to tell me he had died... it was a sad announcement but I knew deep down that he was resting in peace... he wouldn't have liked to linger on partially paralyzed... during his 86 years he has brought much happiness to his family and friends... I have lost a close friend, indeed. I just wish he could read this column which he said he always enjoyed. My heartfelt sympathy goes to his fine wife, Bessie, and to his entire family. For years I have received copy from various people who reside in the Beech Glen area and most of those writing spell the name correctly but I still have a few people who always spell it Beech GLENN... even the highway department has it spelled with two N's on the signs at the intersection... the dictionary defines GLEN as a secluded narrow valley... and along with the beautiful beech trees, I imagine it was correctly named Beech Glen... on a recent window card announcing Older Americans Day at Beech Glen, some person spelled it Beach Glenn... and I know that's not correct... regardless of how people spell it, it's a fine community with fine people. For sharp-shooters: a turkey shoot is being held every Saturday at the Madison Gun Club on Ivy Hill (Route 2, Marshall) from noon until dark... trap shooting, still targets, plus rifle and pistol shooting en joyed... and ammunition is furnished... so join the fun and have a good time. One of the most punctual fellows I know is Robot Davis whose early morning duties at Roberts Pharmacy is amazing... he always seems to be there regardless of how early a person gets to town... usually bet ween 7 and 7 : 30 every Wednesday morning I stop by the drug store to leave the papers and invariably Robert greets me with the following cheerful question, "Why are you so late this morning?" or "I've been waiting for the papers for hours"... he's really a N dependable and likable person who always seems to be happy... I've never seen him grouchy or mad. REP. LISTON B. RAMSEY, state representative, 44th District, introduced Congressman Gudger to the crowd gathered Saturday night for the Haywood Democratic Rally.

Will not the Righteous Judge require a reckoning from such a people? Are I Mm !? ipopfc in the fear of God". (II Samuel 23:3). The election issue is very simple. Where are the men and women who will deliver us from mock democracy by submitting themselves and their office to the rale of Christ? Where are some in dividuals of courage and character who will use the name of Jesus outside of church without cussing, and who will look to tnat Name for guidance in governing us? If we will not seek for such to be our leaders; if we are content to sell our vote to tradition or advantage; then we make ourselves par ticipants in the sins of those officials who reject the Chief Corner Stone. All authority is a trust of God. No person is fit to govern who is not himself governed by the Holy One. In Service Marine Pvt.

At GOP Rally With Health Insurance '* I John Ingram prorata* Haywood Democrats Saturday night that ho will try to (torn soaring health In surance coats of North CaroUniana If they tend him to the U.S. Senate. "I make you two specific promises," Ingram told a rally o I party members "First, to introduce a hill... to do something about big insurance companies getting together and fixing prices because they are not subject to the nation's anti-trust laws. "Secondly, to introduce legislation to provide good health insurance for every American under the free enterprise system where you can go to the agent of your choice and get group type rates... that will be fair to everyone." He did not go into detail on either promise, but they were well received by an audience as plagued as other Americans by escalating health care coats. They seemed credible, coming from the man who has built a political career taking the consumer's side against in surance companies. Ingram was the biggest gun in the Haywood Democrats' broadside at Republican foes in the November election. Most of his audience had been in the building for almost 2W hours before his turn came on the program, but they were very attentive, almost hanging on every word. Approximately 500 persons attended the rally, the last big party function here prior to the November election. There was a two-fold theme: (1) a rallying cry for unity and support of the party "team" and (2) the broadside, at .Republican opponents. Most of the jabs were aimed at Curtis Ratcliff, the GOP's candidate for Congressman Lamar Gudger's seat, and Jesse Helms, the man Ingram wants to oust from the U.S. Senate. Most of them were light-hearted, delivered jokingly, keeping with the mood of the evening until Ingram spoke. Things turned serious when the senatorial candidate took the speaker's stand Serious from the outset, Ingram wasted no time on jokes. He hammered at his "people's campaign" against the Republicans' "five million dollar man," billed himself and his party as people who "care" for the common man, praised President Carter, called for teamwork in the election ahead, volunteered his wife to campaign with wives of other candidates, and blasted Helms as a man motivated by "special in terests." "You all are what this effort is all about," Ingram said to the rank and file, who made up moat of the crowd of 500 persons in the WJHS cafeteria. "You deserve a people's man and not a special interest man in the U.S. Senate." He said his "five million dollar Republican opponent" changed campaign tactics when Carter came to Asheville and is now "trying to ride the coat toils of Jimmy Carter Just like he rode the coat tailes of Richard Nixon." Ingram quoted the Charlotte News, saying gas and oU producers head Helms* list of contributors, that Helms' TV commercials feature the son of the "biggest insurance lobbyist in North Carotins." Helms voted against the Task MKmws Act to protect against the dumping of such things as PCB chemicals, Ingram charged, because "be would rather vote for out-of state soecial interests than for - ? * ? a? n / 1 1. a nM? -k I A 91 ine interests ot tne people. Ingram called dumping of PCB chemicals on Eastern North Carolina highways a "dastardly act" that coat the state 12 million to clean up, "to say nothing of the ex posure of the people there. " To defeat the man (Helms) who opposed the bill that would prohibit such acts was "the reason Jimmy Carter came to North Carolina," Ingram said. Carter, he said, "has lifted this nation out of a moral depression, and we're on our way again. This week our prayers, and the prayers of the world, were answered because Jimmy Carter, through his commitment and just plain hard work, taught us that here on this earth God's work must truly be our own." It was a reference to the ap parent success at Camp David. Attorney Gen. ~ Rufus Edmisten, who introduced Ingram, said he smells victory in November and added: "things are going the right way for John Ingram. Nobody has ever accused John Ingram of not doing something he said he would do." "No amount of money," Edmisten said, is as effective as personal contact in a political campaign. He called the campaign a "time of crisis" and asked his audience . to work hard for Ingram "to make this good man. .. the next senator from North Carolina."

Senate can mean the dif ference between war and pence, between prosperity and economic failure, even "whether we continue aa a part of the human race." And because of that "discerning Republicans... and all Democrats... had better think about it seriously... and we'd better make a change. " Gudger worked the "team" approach to election, reviewing Carter's presidency, his support of the president, and his role in the North Carolina Congressional delegation. "Jimmy Carter's no or dinary man," he said. "He's as strong a piece of steel as I've seen forged in any fur nace, and he's doing an out standing job and not only in foreign affairs." State Party Chairman Mrs. Betty McCain predicted that Democrats are "going to wing big for big John Ingram" and that voters will "send Sen. Helms back to WRAL," the Raleigh TV station for which he previously worked. Rep. Lis ton Ramsey, who heads the party in the 11th Congressional District, also jabbed at Ratcliff, calling him "the man who, until the end, called Nixon an honest man."
