Worked there for three years, then decided to run for the office of Register of Deeds. She ran against the in cumbent and another man who had been active in City Oerk’s work for twenty years. She defeated both of these men and then the incumbent resigned, and Gloria was appointed to fill the unexpired term, and then was sworn in the month of December to serve the term that she had won. She ran for the next two terms unopposed and this spring was winner of the Primary with opposition. She took every precinct. Her civic work has been as follows: worked with the Red Cross Bloodmobile getting the Coun ty Employees to donate, work ed with Family Counseling Ser vices on the Board for six years (one of these as its President.) While she was President of this group, the agency was able to move its offices to the Bell Building on South from its cramped quarters in the CcHn- mercial Building; has served on the N.C. Women for Highway Safety for two years after being appointed by ^ator Marshall Rauch; served as Democrat Party Chairman in 1973 after the regisnation of George Jenkins and later ran for the of fice, elected as the first woman Party Chairman in the history of Gaston County. Mrs. Musard has plans to put some of the records in the com puter in the near future, as she ifi C0 Gloria Musard at Democratic Headquarters with party chairman, Joe Roberts... feels that this is the coming trend for her office. She has been President of the N.C. Register of Deeds Association for the year 1974-75. At the present time she is the Presi dent for the International Association of Clerks, Recorders, Election Officials and Treasurers. This organiza tion has members from all over the country and several foreign countries. Membership is near ly 2,000 at the present and growing every day. Mrs. Musard has up-dated her office as Register of Deeds in many ways while in office. Records are micro-filmed every day for security and this film is sent to Raleigh to be put in the vault of the History Building for safe keeping. This vault is fire-proof and water-proof. In the near future, when there will be more room for the Register of Deeds, she plans to put the records on micro-film to be us ed daily by the public. This will eliminate the need to keep mak ing room for books. Mrs. Musard stated that she loves her work, and hopes to continue taking care of the records of the people of Gaston County. President Carter’s Record On Evergy President Carter was not the first President to preceive the energy problem. But he was the first to do something about it. On April 20, 1977, when he called our fight for energy in dependence “the moral equivalent of war” there were . chuckles from the news media all across America. Noboby Is chuckling nowl President Carter showed his courage and persistence in the energy battle. He stuck to his guns and he won enactment of America’s first comprehensive energy plan. Because he refused to give up, America will be less dependent on foreign oil-and far more secure-in the years ahead. The people have responded to his foresight and leadership. Gasoline consumption in the first half of 1980 was down 12%. We are importing one and one half million barrels a day less of foreign oil than we were three years ago. That is the best energy conservation record in the world today, a record our allies envy. President Carter’s windfall profits tax-tax nobody thought could be passed-has passed. This tax takes unearned profits from oil companies and uses the money to help people who can not afford to hear their homes- and to search for and develop other, better sources of energy. The windfall profits tax is a perfect example of an im aginative administration at work. It is an achievement we can all look at with pride. Hunt Urges Gaston County Democrats To Work For Party Candidates Governor Jim Hunt today urged all Gaston County Democrats to help in the Unity Campaign to elect local Democratic candidates to coun ty, state and national offices. ‘The Democratic Party is the party of the people,” Governor Hunt said. “We are the party concerned about issues. We im prove things and help people -we don’t gripe, complain, and blame somebody else. Working together, we’ve done a lot for our people in the last four years. It’s vital that we have strong Democratic leadership at the local, state and national levels to ensure that we con tinue to move ahead and pro vide a better quality of life for our citizens.” The Unity Campaign in Gaston County is working to elect Jim Icenhour to the U.S. House of Representatives; Mar shall Rauch, Helen Rhyne Marvin and Ollie Harris to the N.C. Senate; David Bumgard- ner, Graham Bell, D.R. Mauney and Sam Beam to the N.C. House of Representatives; Bud Black, Harley Gaston, Jr., Gene Carson, and Robert L. Heavner to the Gaston County Board of Commissioners; and Gloria Banner Musard as Gaston County Register of Deeds. The Governor said, “I believe North Carolinians want to face the challenges of the 1980s head-on, with vision ant determination. They want leaders who understand those challenges and share their dreams for North Carolina’s future. The leaders on the Gaston County Democratic ticket can provide that kind of vision and determination. I urge each of you to get involv ed in the Unity Campaign and elect strong leaders for our future and our children’s future.” If Re-Elected To House To Be 6th Ranking Member If re-elected to the 1981 House of Representatives, David W.
