;Knowing that the highest honor any one of us can receive
i the personal knowledge that we did the best we could
enables each of us responsible Americans to retain and
maintain our personal sovereignty and self respect
' Governor George Wallace stood as tall as any American
leader ever has when, for the first time in many years, he
ran the Stars and Stripes to the top of the flagpole of the
statehouse in Montgomery just prior to our presidential
election. ? ;
'.Knowledge being responsibility, "We the People" once
again have an opportunity, by emulating this example of
sensitivity and courage, to lead spaceship earth to more
light
Each of us can ratify our Constitution and the laws of our
Republic by registering to vote.

Democratic
Victories
TO THE EDITOR:
Since the election, the voters have been reading a lot
about the big Democrat victories. It is true that in most
cases the Democratic party controls our government from
the court house to the White House. What needs to be heard
now is Democrat responsibilities.
Virginia was the only southern state to vote for Ford, and
if Carter shows poor leadership this may prove in the long
run that Virginia is the most progressive and sophisticated
state in our region. At least it can be said Virginia does not
follow.
The largest state, California, also chose Ford. In that
state, Carter carried Los Angeles County, San Francisco,
Oakland, Sacramento, and even conservative San Diego
County, but Ford reversed this by carrying highly conser
vative Orange County 170,000 votes.
Here in North Carolina the large counties were not very
effective, splitting their vote right down the middle.
Mecklenburg went Carter over Ford 60,000 to 58,000;
Guilford went Carter over Ford 47,000 to 45,000; in Forsyth,
it'was Ford over Carter 34,000 to 33,000. By comparison a
large eastern county, Roberson, went Carter over Ford
20,000 to 4,000. It looks as if the Piedmont will never use its
huge vote decisively.
; The white vote in the South chose Ford over Carter 55 to 45
percent, but the black vote went to Carter by 82 percent to 8
percent.'.
Carter h&s tried to make "some" good appointments. The
road ahead of him will be difficult. By the way, if the
Democrats get us in another war, it will be the fifth so far in
this century.
I President Ford is the most honest man we have ever had
M the White House.
Interestingly, President Ford made a brief telephone call
to former President Nixon two days after the election. A
couple of days later Ford was vacationing in Palm Springs
and was looking at real estate. Perhaps he has some con
fidence in a Nixon comeback or maybe he just wants a nice
place to retire. Former President Nixon will have to tell
"all" in his coming interview about Watergate and why he
had so little to say publicly about that crisis. For example
some believe he knew the Israelis had the atomic bomb dur
ing the October war in 1973 and it is possible he had that
recorded on the tapes.
; Latest guess on Deep Throat John Dean.
I would not be surprised if there was not some hidden
meaning in the recent statement by Betty Ford that she
believes the best is yet ahead for her and her husband and
the nation.
; The European common market may well call on Dr. Kis
singer now for some position of leadership. In fact, this has
already been suggested. I would not be surprised if
Rockefeller, Nixon, Kissinger, and others do not soon visit
some European Capitals. The common market still lacks
strong leadership.
People are looking for a hum an leader who will solve their
problems for them. This is, of course, impossible. The
Anti-Christ will, however, accomplish some sort of false
peace and prosperity for three and one-half years, but dur
ing the last half of his seven years rule, all fury will break
loose.
; -The key word in the future may be oil.
