The advertising campaig: hegan on Anril | “At this rate ot spending, the Helms for Senate Committee will have placed a half million dollars in advertising by mid- July, and this does not take into account the funds they have spent on direct mail at a cost of 32.5 cents per piece of mail,” Walker said. “We are aware of two direct mailings that have gone out since the first of April.” Walker said that the survey of newspapers -and radio stations revealed that the Helms for Senate Committee was running two advertisements per week during ' the duration of the survey from May 25 to June 1. This cost $29,730.90. Beginning the week of June 12, he said, the Helms for Senate Committee doubled the advertis- ing and the cost. This increased the newspaper expenditures alone to $40,000 and the weekly total to $50,000. Over Fourth Of July Holiday Weekend 15 N.C.

Auxiliary Meeting Postponed The July 7th regularly scheduled meeting of Otis D. Green Unit 155, American Legion Auxiliary, has been postponed because of the July. 4th holidays until July 14th. A covered dish supper at 6:30 p.m. at the Post Home will feature the July 14th meeting and all members are reminded that the meeting has been rescheduled a week later. Girls State Citizens Angel Allen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Larry Allen, and Jill Plonk, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Plonk, will report on their recent week’s ac- tivities at Girls State at the University of North Carolina in Greensboro. New Officers will assume duties at the July meeting. Mrs. Ruth Ruff is Unit 155 president. over a 78-hour period beginning at. 6 p.m. Friday, July 1, to mid- night Monday, July 4. Last year 18 fatalities occurred during a similar period and 926 were in- jured. The Fourth of July holiday weekend occurs near the start of the summer vacation season and, according to John G. Frazier III, Motor Club Presi- dent, tends to produce more fatalities on average than any other holidays, | except Thanksgiving and Christmas. Traffic fatalities to date are running below the death rate of a year ago. “The safety trends are certain- ly most encouraging,” said Frazier. “We are hopeful that the cur- rent safety trend will continue through the year and for the first time in twenty-eight years North Carolina’s traffic deaths will not pass the 1,000 mark,” Frazier continued. In 1982 traffic fatalities total- ed 1,320 in North Garolina, a 11.8 percent decrease from 1981. To date 510 fatalities have been reported this year while 534 were reported killed through this same date last year. The downward trend is at- tributed to economic conditions, and the crackdown on DUI drivers by law enforcement of- ficers throughout the state. The concentration. on DUI drivers will continue over the up- coming holiday week-end, along with speeding drivers. The best protection we have against traffic fatalities is seat belts and child restraints. North Carolina data indicates that if used, available restraint systems could save 60 to 70 of every 100 unbelted occupants “who die in crashes. Only about nine percent of + drivers in accidents protect “These Helms for Senate Committee advertisements are ‘typical of the tactics employed by the Congressional Club and Jefferson Marketing which is producing and placing the adver- tisements,” said Walker. “The tactics backfired on the Congressional Club in 1982 and I am confident they will have the same effect in 1984. The voters of North Carolina are intelligent, themselves by using restraints. . The North Carolina law requir- ing use of child restraints for children under two years of age became effective July 1, 1982. Children under two riding in child restraints are five times less likely to be seriously injured than those riding unrestrained. “As we celebrate our in- dependence on this Fourth of July, let’s not forget the freedoms we enjoy,” Frazier said. “Help keep the highways of North Carolina safe by being a good citizen and a safe driver.” Nobody is immune to ac- cidents, and no one can ‘control all of the factors involved in.a traffic collision. : “But there is a simple and ef- fective way of cutting your risk by more than half - wear your seat belts. SEAT BELTS SAVE LIVES - BUT ONLY IF YOU USE THEM. fairminded people and they can see this campaign for what it is,” Walker said. . Walker noted that Jesse Helms on a television interview on WXII in. Winston-Salem on April 9, 1983 said that he was planning to run a “gentlemanly campaign.” His campaign treasurer Mark Stephens was quoted in the Charlotte Observer of June 9, 1983 saying that Helms reviews the ads before they are publish- ed, “You know, I think it’s a real shame that this is starting this early,” Walker said. “We've got over a year to go before the next Senate race and this stuff is go- ing to get awfully tiresome by then.” GOOD SELECTION USED TIRES $800 $1000 $1 200 OIL-LUBE-FILTER ges MN CLARK TIRE / COMPANY 407 S.
