NORTH CAROLINA Chairman, State Board of Elections Be Sure And Vote Aug. 17th L Vote for Delia Maynor Register of Deeds August 17, 1976 A vote for me is a vote for experience Today's Olympic Games Manage Without Deadly Wrestling No one else had a chance when the Emperor Nero competed in the Olympic games of A.D. 67. Accompanied by a retinue of hefty bodyguards, the paunchy Roman tyrant won every event in which he participated, including the chariot races. The other con testants knew what was good for them. In contrast, today's Olympic Games symbolize the best in ath letic excellence, the National Geo graphic Society says. Lighting of the Olympic torch in Montreal on July 17 opens 16 days of summer games in Canada. More than 9,000 athletes will compete and a half million spectators will view the games First hand. Millions more will see them on television. While exact figures are un known, the ancient Olympic Games probably never attracted more than a few hundred competi tors. Until the Romans conquered Greece, participation was restricted to young Greeks. First recorded in 776 B.C., the ancient Greek games at Olympia evolved into the greatest peacetime festivals in lands bordering the Mediterranean Sea. In their heyday, Olympic cele brations featured sprint races and chariot races and usually were climaxed by all-round tests of endurance, such as the pentathlon. This event combined the broad jump, foot racing, hurling the four-pound discus, throwing the javelin, and wrestling. At one time, the feature event was a brutal boxing-wrestling affair called the "pankration." meaning "all strength." It was fought until surrender or death. One practitioner of this gentle art. Arrachion. achieved unenvi able distinction when, locked in a fatal stranglehold, he broke his opponent's foot with a dvinff wrench. 8 (political ADVERTISEMENT ) Proven Performance Not Irresponsible Promises Mid For By Bradlev Bui* VOTE FOR Charlie Pendergrass for County Commissioner In The August 17th Primary If Elected, I Will Work For The Best Interest Of The People In Hoke County In Every Field Of County Government.
