Why NOT Holshouser The Herald hasn’t had the pleasure of the acquaintance of Jim Holshouser, the Republican candidate for governor, does have the pleasure of the acquaint ance and friendship of Hargrove (Skip per) Bowles, dating from 1937. During those intervening 35 years, the Herald has logged and the Skipper has recorded a bulging dossier of reas ons as to his qualifications to serve iNortn Carolina as the state’s chief ad ministrator. A few of them: 1) Successful businessman. 2) Successful governmental admin istrator as director of the Department of Conservation and Development. 3) Able three-term state legislator, with the courage to vote “nay”, when his conscience dictated. (He roundly op posed the hastily geared up legislative retroactive “expense” bill, returned his check to the state treasurer.) 4) He has conducted a positive cam paign, eschewing personalities, and con tinuing to advance the Bowles program he feels wUl >'''-''fit the state and Hot- people. Parts of ill , .. i. jilOLB a) no-fault insurance; b) no new taxes; c) attention in education to expan sion of kindergarten and vocational edu cation programs, the latter to provide the needs of “the 80 percent of Tsorth Carolina youths who don’t go to col lege”; d) improvement in facilities and treatment of the state’s mental institu tions. These arc good and sufficient reas ons for the election of Hargrove Bowles governor. There is an even more important oite. Ap analysis of the candidate line-up for the General Assembly reveals: 1) 'Iwenty-three Democratic candi dates for ths Senate have no opposition. Election of three more Democrats as sures a majority. 2) Thirty-loui Democratic candi dates for the House of Representatives are assured election. Election of 37 more Democrats assures a majority. Both majorities are patently attain able. Election of a Republican governor and a Etemocratic General Assembly could, likely would, create a four-year hiatus in North C^olina government, ah hiatus Nbrth Carolina—nor any state —could ill afford. The Amendments The Herald opposes and urges an “against” vote on constitutional a- mendments 1, 2 a'nd 3 and “for” votes on amendments 4 and 5. Number 1 would prevent 18-year- olds from holding elective office. They have the right to vote. If they can get themselves elected, more power to them. Number 2 would require the Gen eral Assembly to prescribe mandatory retirement ages for judges. The Herald has long regarded forced retirement is inhumane and often foolish. Winston Churchill’s finest hour didn’t start until he was 63. Number 3 works over the judges a- gain authorizing the General Assembly to prescribe procedures for censure and removal. Sunicient procedures are ex tant now. Number 4 should be supported. It would protect the state’s natural re sources. Number 5 should be supported. It would prevent small communities within specified radii of acljacent cities from incorporating as cities. There’s a bit of a stew going on In Mecklenburg on this issue now, and a few years ago the Hor- vaRi’s were threatehing to make an in corporated town of the Margrace com munity. For Better Or Worse Some predictions on the outcomes of Tuesday's top-interest election contests: 1) Richard M. Nixon will retain the presidency, but the Democratic chaJ- iL-nger Senator George McGovern will run "ahead of the polls,’! both nation wide and in North (^rolina. 2) Democrat Hargrove (Skipper) Bowles will be elected governor over Re publican Jim Holshouser by a greater margin than Governor Bob Scott defeat ed Jim Gardner in 1968, when pun^ts reported the race as close. Scott’s mar gin was a round-figure 84,000, indeed “close” in North (Carolina. In some states a winner with 84,000 margin would have won by a landslide. Former state Senator Bowles will be tiie first governor from Guilford since John Mot ley Morehead served two two-year terms 1841-45. 3) United States Representative Nick Gallflanakis will defeat Republican Jesse Helms for the United States Sell- ate in what well may be the dosest erf the state-wide Democrat - Republican confrontations. Besides plenty of cam paigning experience in close, hard- fought contests, his personality and af finity for hard work, the biggest asset of the Durham Greek is the historical temper of the people of North Carolina. His record, both in Raleigh and in Wash ington has been that of a moderate in a moderate state. Our Tar Heel fore fathers wouldn’t buy the Constitution until the Bill of Rights (first ten amend ments) were attached and, In the con flagration between the states, was last to secede (but first at Gettysburg), Mr. Helms is not only a conservative to tne core. His thinking is more conservative than the Birchiest John Bircher. 4) United States Representative Jim Broyhill will defeat easily his Demo cratic challenger and Lenoir neighbor Attorney Paul Beck, and therefore re turn to the House for a sixth term by a greater margin than the round-figure 15,000 votes he recorded against Baiil Whitener in 1968 and 1970. Mr. BroynliJ has not considered party labels in ren dering the regular services of his office, which services have been perforai6a with dispatch. In turn, Mr. Beck libs done little campaigning. 5) All Democratic candidates for the council of state will win,.Incuinbenl8 Thad Eure, secretary of State, HwtrtrL. Bridges, state aiidltor, E'dvbm M. Glu, state treasurer, Craig Phillips, sttpOrih- tendent of public Instruction, Robert Morgan, attorney-general, James A. Graham, secretary of agr^ltiirb, and Newcomers Billy Creel, stcrettiby at fei jMr, and John Ingram, commissioner of insurance. Blade Trick No Troat There are many long-used epithets to describe evil people, such as, “He’d steal a Bible”, or “He’d take money off a dead man’s eyes”. Now there’s another and more rep rehensible one: “He (she’d) treat a Hallowee’rier with a razored apple.” It happened not once, but thrice in Gaston County Tuesday night, onoe in West Gastonia, twice in Ranlo. It has been said, “A picture is worth ten thousand words.” The Gastonia Gazette picture of the razored apple a Gastonia woman drop ped into the bag of a nine-year-old trick- or-treater is worth hundreds of thous ands of words. Happily for the three youthful re cipients of the razored apples, neither bit into the apples. Happy, too, for the women who al legedly dispensed these potentially le thal “treats”, for had a youngster been injured the dispensers’ lot would have been most difficult. It should be most difficult, anyway. Here, from the news reports are 1) Cases for the cops and 2) Cases for Superior Court Solici tor Hamp Childs. 3) Cases for, yea, Ripley, and his Believe It or Not.

TYue, he capitalized on .being the “first” of Ills people In the majors with awards and bu^ess' success. But along with the “breakthrough”— whiyi white to strpes — was implicit the rpsistanoe to the breakthrough. This same week of Mr. Rob inson’s passing, the United States is still troubled by the discom forts of desegregation. Not far from the site, gf Jtobinson’s old playing 'field, " parents closed down a public qehool' to keep more, blacks from a,ttendlng It. The Supreme, Court in Washing ton is weigljiinig yet another case, this .titne.-for the dty of Denver, that will perhaps decide the fate of .desegregation In Northern urban schools. And In several key states, the presiden tial electoral vote will llkey swing on which cand'date takes the stronger antd-ibusJng stand. It is not - taking anything away from Jadcie Robinsonj j.t.q. say that Ms importance to Am erican Manks lay less in qjjy breakthrough, than In how to en dure the pressures of breaking through.

EMdence of this can be found In related statistics which show that Infant mortality Is also high in the first 28 days of the baby’s life—a ^tical time when lack of equipment and proper medical attention can make a difference.

'^’de such units are uncom mon in the United States—^North Carolina has none—-hospitals In Canada report success with such units. Why, then, aren’t more of j them in operation now? I The answer is complex, but In ' the final analysis It bolls down to a question of money.

The candi- Insuranoe companies commonly won’t pay for treatment of pre mature or malformed babies, al though the state’ of Florida re cently became the f'rst to require insurance companies to do so In most cases. The eventual coop eration of insurance companies is crucial, since many hospitals I need tnelr payments to invest in the costly equ'pnient required to run a good lnten,slvc care unit Creating mobile care iinit.s on top of that expense is prohibitive for all but the wealthiest hospitals. For this reason, the upcoming state legislature ought to consid er ways to tighten insurance laws to cover such cases. Like wise, it should also give much closer scrutiny to ways in which mobile care units oould be fund ed on a regional basis. One pos sibility would be to authorize the State Board of Health to ad minister such a program using state and federal resources. •Whatever the solution, no sin gle hospital can afford to go it alone. If the state’s high infant mortality rate is to be lowered, a sizeable federal and state com mitment will 'be essential along the way.—Charlotte News.
