Mary Faye Brumby, whose district is composed of the seven far western coun ties of North Carolina, had some blunt words for her fellow Democrats when she headed a panel discussion on "How Elections Are Won" at 'the North Carolina Dem ocratic Women's Convention in Greenville on the week end of September 29-30. "If some November morn ing we wake up and find a Republican Governor and Republican General Assembly in Raleigh, don't blame your candidates or election offi cials, but go take a good, hard look at yourself," the lady from Murphy said, "be cause it's you and you and you out there and 1, too, who literally hold the keys to victory in our hands." Sen. Brumby told the panel there are four keys to win ning an election. They are. 1. Good candidates. 2. Salesmanship of our pro gram. 3. Unity and organization. 4. Hard work. She pointed to some of the storm signals for Democrats that popped up in the form of Republican upsets and near misses in North Carolina last November. A recent survey of college students, she said, "shows that the Republicans have caught up with us in the schools among those listing a party preference, although 42% listed themselves as independents. So here....ls a large segment of our youth that can be ours if we only take time and trouble to win them." Sen. Brnmbv said the Dem ocrats have a program that has built up "the largest and most affluent middle class in the world...but we are doing a miserable job of selling it to the people." "Friction or splintering of the party may sound our death knell," she warned. The mountain legislator told her audience "we must respect our opponent's strength and exploit their weaknesses." Sen. Brumby didn't waste her time telling the panel what they might have enjoyed hearing, but she clearly out lined what must be done in the year ahead if the Democrats expect to maintain their status as the "Ins" In North Carolina politics.

Marine Corporal Myron Dean Mintz is at his home in Marble on leave now. Mintz suffered what he termed a minor wound on May 2 and said he was sent Lack into action shortly after Against LBJ Road Cutback Rep. Roy A. Taylor has wri tten President^ ohnson, urging "that no reduction be made in funds for our important inter state and primary highway program." In - a Telegram to The Scout Tuesday, he said he "Strongly advocated reduced Federal spending.. ..but cutting back highway funds is not the answer." Taylor said this "would do nothing toward solving the big problem of balancing the budget since this fund is not even reflected in the regular budget." The 11th District repre senative contended "the Pre sident has no authority to re duce these highway allocations although he can postpone them." Me said he recommended that the President review all government funcations and "decide which are no longer needed and which.. ..can be deferred during the wartime period and .. make approp riate recommendations for reduced spending to Congress. that. Only July 6, just 21 days before he was scheduled to return to the states, Mintz was wounded by rifle fire while in an operation against the enemy a few hundred meters south of the Demili tarized Zone. He said the wound was inflicted near the scene of the recent siege of Con Thien. He was flown to Andrews Air Force Base in Washing ton and taken to the Naval Hospital in Portsmouth, Va. Mintz received a final re lease from the hospital last Thursday. "Progress is slow, but we got a big victory at Con Thien," Mintz observed. He said the morale of the armed forces in Vietnam "is high." Regarding the attitude of the so-called doves and peace niks in the United States, Mintz said "It's discouraging in away" to the men in Viet nam, but added "we don'tlose faith." Asked for his opinion of the attitude of the war protesters, he said "I think it stinks." South Vietnam asked for our - help, so we "certainly" should be in the war, Mintz said. "If we don't beat them (the Communists) there, they're going to take that place and we're going to be fighting somehwere else," he observed. Mintz has served with some South Vietnamese troops. He said they are "not as well trained as they should be. The best Vietnamese units I saw were paratroopers." He said a Murphy Marine, Cpl. Mintz Sgt. Hubert Hinton was with his unit when he left Viet nam. When he returns to active duty, he will be stationed at the Marine Barracks in Nor folk, Va. He is scheduled to be dis charged in January and plans to attend Ring ling School of Art in Sarasota, Fla. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. E.H. Mintz of Marble and a 1963 graduate of Mur phy High School. When our chat was over, 1 couldn't help but notice that straight-in-the-eye look and the firm handshake. Mintz answered my ques tion in a frank manner and without hesitation. There is no doubt that he feels he sustained his wounds for a worthwhile cause.

The Bulldogs picked up a first down and hadanotherone on the next two plays but the Bulldogs were guilty of a clip ping penalty and lost fifteen yards. Stiles then tossed a pass toThrasher that was good for 40 yards and a first down. Maurice Kincaid and Harold Kephart teamed to get another first down placing the ball on the Hayesville two. Gary Wil son took It In and again Ste vens' kick split the uprights and Murphy was ahead 20-6 with 7:59 remaining. I In the remaining minutes of play the Yellow Jackets made back to back first downs but the attack bogged down. The back breaking play was a pass that James Hembree inter cepted and ran back to the Bulldoj 25. Five plays and two first downs later, the game was over. The 155 pound Sophmore Monkus and Hogsed were the main ground gainers for Hayesville, withKincaid?Gary Wilson and Harold Kephart nicking up most of the yard age lor Murphy.
