TELEPHONE NUMBER — 739 5441 TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE And be renewed in the sjArit of your mind. Ephesians i:2S Hindsight Prescience Hindsight prescience being vastly superior to the foresight brand, news paper editors, television commentators, and other voters can comment on the 1972 election with firm opinions not too likely to be contradicted. Ten years ago, Governor Terry San ford was asked his analysis of the ap parent Republican resiu’gence in North Carolina. 'The Governor replied, “I doubt that any of you (a group of newspaper editors) can name the Republican candi date for governor in 192S. But he got 4.5 percent of the vote.” It was the San ford opinion that the incidence of Re publicanism in North Carolina was mere ly returning to normal status, after the ravages the Great Depression, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Harry S. Truman had dealt the Grand Old Party. Governor Sanford continued, “You know the grow ing majority of today’s voters don’t know anything about the depression except what their fathers and grandfathers tell them, £md that doesn’t make too much impression.” THE NIXON VICTORY President Nixon has woh re-election, which was freely predicted, by the ' greatest electoral vote majority,, since the Alf Landon debacle in 1936, when Mr. Landon won only Maine and Ver mont for eight elector votes. Senator McGovern garnered 17 from Massachu setts and the District of Columbia. It is axionr/atic since 1900 that an incumbent is hard to dislodge. Teddy Roosevelt’s Bull Moose party defeated President Taft and elected Wilson. Anti the Great Depression slayed President Hoover’s re-election. President Nixon had some minuses wlilch a stronger candidate might have used to more advantage than did Mc Govern, the ITT and Watergate affali-s, the secrecy on campaign contributions thAt grain deal to Russia where a few lat cats grew fatter. But he had some pluses, too. The nation generally ap plaud^ his role in foreign affairs and efforts to establish greater rapport with China and Russia. They liked the idea of getting “our boys home from Viet nam". Meantime, Senator 'RtcGovern had to pay some debts for his takeover of the Democratic convention, with a mot ley array of delegates who could not hope of offer the heft of the old line managers and money-raisers in a na tional election. The majority of the peo ple were “afraid” of what Met^vern would do. Democratic regulars are already .saying its time to make the necessary overtures to Governor George Wallace to return him to the party and to through out the stupid rules, of which McGovern was the architect, but whidi, in enfranchising some minorities, creat ed new minorities in the Democratic party. HOLSHOUSER VICTORY To Tar Heel Democrats, the most shacking loss on Tuesday was the gov ernorship, with Jim Holshousef^cTtat- ing Skipper Bowles. Until Tuesday, no Republican had been elected governor in 76 years. That gentleman was D.'L. Russell, of Bruns wick County. He was elected in a fusion movement between the Republicans and farmers, who, in effect, were saying at the ballot box they wanted some serv ices in return for ^eir taxes. After the state got rid of the carpet-baggers, the Democrats found the policy of white supremacy and cussing Yankees sun*- fire tickets to victory. 'The anti-'McGovem feeling in the state and throughout the Soutn had to contribute to the Bowles demise by 48,200-odd votes. Republican resurgence, which gained in the Elsenhower y^rs, was another Holshouser plus. The George Wallace vote, it is apparent, went to Holshouser. Another factor was Bowles’ heavy campaign spending. There can bt _jio Aard-8Ad-fti$t nil6S Ih politics, for the Cansler Area Project Final approval of the Cansler street area urban renewal project is more good news for Kings Mountain. Mayor John Henry Moss’ statement that the area is Kings Moilntain’s most blighted will elicit agreement from any who care to tour the several block area. vReplacement of derelict and sub standard residences with modern ones will enhance the welfare of the citizens involved and, for that matter, the whole city. Kings Mountain appreciates the aid of U. S. Representatives James T. Bro^ hill in obtaining final approval of this project.

He a.sjced, "Anything wrong? What’s this wreath doing on yohr door?" Veteians TnUning AtHighMaik VETERSONS TR-M-MNO Veterans training under the Vietnam Era GI Bill are expecl«l I to pass the two million mark in; 1972, H. W. Johnson, EHrectov ofi exploitation of the atom, fears the Winston-Salem Veterans Ad Thus, it is disturbing that an organization called the Atomic Industrial ^Vwiun, which repj-e- senLs private American compan ies involved in vairious ways with that the U. 3. is not moving rap idly enough to build facilities for producing nuclear fuel. It places ■much of the blame on the Atomic Energy Commission, partly for its delay in expanding existing AEC facilities and partly for its reluc tance to release secret data to industry to emaible Industry to get Into the nuclear fuels business, currently has a near-monopoly on The U. S. government, wihich .supplyisig nuclear fuel to the ndfi- campaign plan which wins for a candi date one election will lose for him the next, and vice versa. Thus in the recent campaign the Bowles money cost him some votes—yet did not react to the dis favor of Senate winner Jesse Helms who spent as much as Bowles and likely more. Another factor for Holshouser was the continuing plea to the voters that North Carolina would have greatly im proved gov'ornment via a strong two- party political system. This and the other factors were the ones which provided Holshouser with his 48,000 victory margin. HELMS VICTORY The Jesse Helms - Nick Galifianakis contest was figured to be the closest of the state-wide contests of those the Re publicans had a chance to win. It wasn’t. Helms started with a good base in Ea.st- ern North Carolina, where his conserva tive editorial comment via WRAL-TV, Raleigh, was a long-time diet for East ern North Carolinians, and a diet his listeners relished. His campaign money, sent dowTi from Washington GOP head quarters, was unlimited, and he used communications media in the Piedmont and West to get exposure. Even though Senator B. Everett Jordan gave firm endorsement to GalifianaKis, winner over Jordan in the primary, bitterness remained among many Jordan support ers who liked not one whit some of th-e Galifianakis propaganda, particularly references to Jordan’s age and healtli. Galifianakis was as under-financed as Helms was over-financed. The face-to- face campaigning which had won three close campaigns for the Greek lawyer from Durham was sufficient in a House of Representatives contest, but insuffi cient in a state-wide race when the other guy was going that exra expensive, but necessary, advertising route. HOLSHOUSER PROBLEM Does North Carolina face a ^atic foiu- years under a Republican governor, when it’s lieutenant-governor, council of state, and General Assembly is under contro'l of the opposition Democrats? Only time will tell whether the ma jority of the opposition will treat Jim Holshouser as Lyndon Johnson, then Senate majority leader treated President Dwight Eisenhower, or play peanut poli tics, as the Democrats did Herbert Hoover. With 48,200-plus votes his margin, Governor Holshouser can claim no great mandate from the people. It is likely tie can establish some fair-minded rapport with the Democrats from the Piedmont, but what about those Eastern Democrats in the General Assembly, who make politics a business at which they work 365 days every year and 366 days in leap yeSrs? Hopefully, for the benefit of the state, the General Assembly majority, the council of state, and the lieutenant- governor will be willing for rapport— going with the enemy governor when he’s right, reserving their “nay” power for use when the Governors off-base. If this does not occur, the state is in store for a stagnate four years, which North Carolina can ill afford. might have 'been tmpoiitic to say so clearly, the admirUBtration ob viously would like to have at least some form aS af^rovial lirom the Soiuth.

It is their own money that they are risking, after' ail.

But if undue haste should make it appear that he has not received a fair hearing, it would be neither exeirn^iy treatment for a government that the U. S. has classed as an ally nor a good omen for toe future. One point that Dr. Kissinger wants settled is an understand ing that a new (National Council of National Reconsiliation and (toncoid, which would have Com munist representation, would not ■be a "government” in the South. It is a point that indeed should be clear. While nothing in the real world is wtithout risk, it’s unlike ly that attempts to clarify such matters will cause the agreement to be withdrawn. The objective conditions for an agreement, prin cipally Hanoi’s willingness, now exist whereas they did not prior to Oct. 8. At this point toe task is to make it an agreement that will work.
