[» Judge Hedrick For the Supreme Court irjf ■■ ... ■W f Experience Is So Important It has been said that wisdom is the work product of the Supreme Coin t of North Carolina. If that is true, then a very special kind of experience is required of those who serve on the Supreme Court. Experience that comes from the practice of law. Experience that comes from serving the people as a prosecuting attorney. Experience that comes from serving as a trial judge. Experience that comes from serving as a member of the North Carolina Court of Appeals, the State's second highest court. Judge Hedrick has the legal experience he needs to serve on the Supreme Court of North Carolina. But more importantly, he has a depth of experience that comes only from living and working with the law over a long period of time experience that enables him to understand and appreciate the full impact of Supreme Court Decisions qn the lives of all of us. On May 7, vote for Judge Hedrick for the Supreme Court. Because experience is so important. JUDGE R. A.
