TERRY SANFORO.^More and more the idee seems to be spreading that former Gov ernor Terry Sanford Is giving serious consideration to run rnlng for the U.S. Senate In 19M against Senator Sam J. Enrin, Jr. Many feel that were it not that Bob Scon appears to be so far out from in the race for governor two years hence, and that Sanford and the Scott CLIFF BLUE ...

But, the chances, say those close to the former governor are almost nil that he will run for governor against Bob Scott. If Sanford runs for the Sen ate, and with Bob Scon running for governor, many feel that it will be a Scon-Sanford ticket. UNC fRUSTEES.....Wrien Terry Sanford defended the 100 monber University of North Carolina Board of Trustees last week, he was not hurting himself and almost insuring that any attempt to scuttle the present system of naming the trustees be retained along with the number. It must be remembered that Sanford will have many strong supporters in the 1967 General Aseembly and with Terry favoring the present number and system any chances of the Hodges Study Commission getting through any drastic changes in the trustee system will be very slim. Says Sanford: "For one thing, the present board, while it may look unwieldly on paper, has worked well." Many people with a good knowledge of the trustee sys tem will agree with Sanford. MOORE FORCES...Should Sanford run for the U.S. Sen ate against SamErvin.youcan expect the Moore forces to go all out in support of the senior Tar Heel senator since Ervin made a statement in support of Moore back in the early days of the Moore candidacy for governor when the "mountain man" really needed support. When this column reaches print Governor Moore may have appointed someone to fill the vacancy on the State Supreme Court to succeed Justice Clif ton Moore who died last week. It is pretty generally known that Joe Branch who managed Moore's campaign for governor could have had the seat occupied by Dr. Beverly lake or Will Pless had he so desired. Without a doubt, if he wants it he could have the vacancy caused by the death of Justice Moore. While the Halifax statesman may take it, we doubt it. DAVID BRlTT...Were it not for the fact that Rep. David Britt is in line to be Speaker Well 1 have just gotten beck from e week s vacation out on the coest of Tarheelia. Before we went out there I told several people that we were going "out to the coast" for a few days. You see 1 told em this so of the 1967 House of Rep r. sentatives, chances are that 1, . friends would be pushing hint for the place in the event his good friend Joe Branch ti'rns the high court down, tor a third time. Britt is a top lawyer and friends regard him as of supreme court cal ibre. WAYSIDE REFLECTIONS.. Last week we received from our old legislative friend, for mer Senator and former Rep. L.A. Martin of Lexington a copy of his latest publication, "Wayside Reflections" which is to quote die author, "....Echoes from treasured recollections and enduring memories..." It is a beau tifully bound paper back book, and an inspiration to read. Mr. Martin begins each chap ter with a picture and a quot ation and goes on to give an inspiring and gripping word picture of the subject, whe ther it be on "The Heart's Secret Chapel" or "Ty Cobb". Mr. Martin appears to have picked his subjects as he has travelled across the country.Other publica tions by Martin include "Me ditations and Observations," "The Man on The Monument" "Around Court Square" and "Under Blue Skies." PRAYED IT DOWN....We shall never forget during a session of the 1949 General Aseembly when it appeared that the "wet" forces led by the late Shelley Caviness of Greensboro would prevail in the House. Rep. L.A. Martin was the leader for the "dry"forces, and just before the time for the vote, Rep. Martin sugg ested to Speaker Kerr Craige Ramsey that the House be led in prayer. Speaker Ramsey asked Rep. Martin to lead the prayer which he did with a sincerity and appeal that no doubt changed the vote of sufficient members to save the day for the "drys." Martin's prayer on that day reminds us of his chapter: "The Heart's Secret Chapel" in which he quotes Abraham Lincoln as saying; "1 have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that 1 had no where else to go." In that day prayer was Martin's last reserve and his lines held. Iherokee Scout & Clay County Progress, Thurs July 21,1966 they would think w?? were going out there to live it iy> in high style; a cottage on the beach and all that. What I didn't explain about going out there was that we have some mighty good friends living there, which if we hadn't had we wouldn't have gone a step. We would have gone to Florida for our vacation, where we have lots of kinfolks we could stay with. We swap out sorta. When they are getting ready to come see us they always tell their friends that they are "going to the mountains"--for the same reason we say that about going to the coast. Now the friends we went to see are the Crawfords. You remember them, I'm sure. They are preachers. Well, any how, Arvel is and the rest of em just kindaassfst him. Arvel likes peanut beans. I mean he really LIKES em. So, we picked him a bushel before we headed out, and my B.W. set in to snapping and stringing em. Then for 400 miles she strung beans. We took Arvel a passel of beans last year and darned if his B.W., Helen, didn't feed us our own beans for almost a solid week. When we got there the other day the first thing I told that woman that Arvel married I wanted seafood to eat and NO PEANUT BEANS! I was mighty emphatic about it, too. You know there is orx thing I found out while we were there: It must take longer than a week to eat 400 miles of peanut beans. I was sure looking forward to my vacation, you know, getting up late and all but it didn't turn out thataway. Not by a long shot. Every morning at the crack of dawn 1 was awakened by the dangedest racket 1 ever listened to: Mar tins! Now Martins do all right as people but as birds they can be a powerful nuisance. In fact, they are the very sorriest kind of bird I know of, especially when about 700 of em are nesting under a car port right outside of my bed room window. And I'll tell you the weather was hot while we were there. Course, it's been kinda warm here too, but up THERE...You know all preachers pray a lot and between the weather and this preacher I was kep mighty busy the whole time, praying and fannii^. What I was praying for was cooler weather, but I reckon Arvel was mostly praying for us to go home. But my plans called for staying a week and we stuck to the plan. 1 thought it would be an extra good vacation this time on account of I had had a brand new operation which 1 had counted on getting to talk about a right smart. But darned if I hardly got to mention it. What happened was that Ar vel had just had his very FIRST one. And proud of iti Why, he was prouder of that than most folks are about their first grandyoungan. Beat anything I ever heard of. You know how sophisticated and dignified preachers are. Well, both of these fine preacher qualities went flying out the window. Arvel insisted on leaving his shirt off most of thetime so his great big brand new operation scar would show. He claimed on account of the weather being so hot he needed to leave off his shirt. In order to try to get a little attention I asked Arf to take the stitches out of my operation for me. He agreed, so we gathered up cuticle s cissors, tweezers, absorbent cotton, alcohol (rubbin in case you're wondering) me rth iolate, and band -aids, great big band-aids. Now he laughed and laughed about how he would take those stitches out by pulling the knot through the hole. But he was only kidding. I'm here to tell you that he was trying to get em out without EVEN cutting em. "Oh," he said, "I thought I had it cut." You wouldn't think you could lift a man with just a little thread of a stitch but he was raising me a way up high. Yes sir, Arvel does mighty fine as a preacher but as a doctor he's got a long ways to go! And even after all this mis-treatment he wouldn't let me talk about my operation. He insisted on talking and about his own. I told you about the hot weather up there. And it sure saved one of the Crawford youngans from getting a sound thrashing. Here's how it hap pened: Helen told Rowena to get busy and hang out some clothes. Rowena stuck her tongue out at her mama and just as she did Helen turned around and saw her. She said, "Young lady, are you sticking your tongue out at me?" Row ena had to do some fast think ing?the said, "Why Mah-ma No Main, 1 sure wasn't sticking my tongue out at YOU. 1 was only sticking it out to cool ft off."
