The Asllcvillc Citizen, Oct. 10, 1984 Churches May Have CLENDAI.K SPRINGS (Ar) -The rector of two churches with frescoes thai attract some 300,000 visitors a year says the five religious paintings might have to be moved to ensure their preservation. The Rev. J. Faulton llodge, rector of the small Episcopal churches in the mountain villages of Glendale Springs and Beaver Creek, said there has been a lack of support of the frescoes by the local business community.

"There Is a possibility we may move them," he said. "There is someone who is interested in perpetual care." He would not say who. "If we do move them, it will be only to preserve them for future generations," he said. "I am convinced these are major masterpieces of this century. They should be preserved.

"It is my hope the frescoes will never be moved, and in all likelihood nothing will happen, but that's no guarantee." -J ill AP Photo" ItM The Charlotte observer POSSIBLE MOVE The Rev. J. Faulton Hodge stands in front of a mural painted by Ben Long in the Holy Trinty Episcopal Church in Glendale Springs. The mural and paintings at another church may be moved in a effort to preserve the paintings an estimated 300,000 people come to see each year. To Move The proposal to move the paintings also upset artist Ben Long, who painted four of them from 1973 through "Thai's the most amazing thing I ever heard of," he said in a telephone interview from Florence, Italy.

"1 do not want the frescoes moved. The frescoes are perfectly safe where they are. These frescoes were meant to be part of the church, an homage to the people."

Kathryn Lawrence, a secretary in the Ashe County Chamber of Commerce, was not enthusiastic about the proposal.

She said moving the paintings "would be kind of like selling Mount Rushmore." Some business owners said their enterprises would be severely hurt if the paintings were removed.

PIZZA 9175 807 Mtrrimon Av. iUhcvllla PSHKT PRINCE In jHL Ysesr Flaherty: RALKIC1H (AP) State Republican Chairman David Flaherty says strength at Ihe top of the GOP ticket will help the parly gain its most General Assembly seats in a dozen years, a view not shared by his Democratic counterpart. In 1972, Republicans gained eight Senate seals and 11 House seats while Richard Nixon carried the slate en route to landslide reelection as president. Jesse Helms won his first term as senator and Jim llolshouser became the first GOP governor of North Carolina this century. Then came Watergate, and the Republican momentum faded.

Currently, the GOP is represented by only six of the 50 senators and 18 of 120 House members after occupying GOP Will 15 Senate seals and 35 House seats in 1973. Bui Flaherty says Republican prospects are even brighter than in 1972. With President Reagan and Helms seeking re-election and U.S. Rep. Jim Martin running for governor, Flaherty says the GOP should equal or lop its 1972 performance by winning at least 50 legislative seats.

"Obviously we're very optimistic overall," said Flaherty. "We have the strongest ticket ever for local races. When Martin got involved it excited a lot of people. A lot of Ihe Republicans, the (moderate) llolshouser Republicans, were turned off, didn't have anybody to identify with. Now they're working like never before, and the (more conservative) Helms Republicans are working just as hard." David Price, state Democratic Parly chairman, says Flaherty wrongly assumes that people will let the top races influence their other choices.

Price also denies that the Reagan-llelms-Marlin ticket is significantly more popular than the Democratic alternative led by Walter Mondale, Senate candidate Gov. Jim Hunt and Attorney General Rufus Kdmislen, the gubernatorial nominee. "The prediction that the coattail effect will result in massive gains for the Republicans is simply off the mark," said Price. "State politics in North Carolina hasn't worked that way for a long time." Republicans have fielded candidates for 66 House seats and 29 Sen-ale seals, while Democrats are run- nett; Dan Blue, D-Wakc; Billy Wat-kins, D-Granville; Dan Lilley, D-Le-noir; Frank Ballance, D-Warren; Richard Wright, D.Columbus; Charles ICvans, D-Dare; and Joe Hackney, D-Orange. Senate Democrats wilh no opposition include Harold Hardison, D-Le-noir; Henson Barnes, D-Wayne; Kenneth Royall, D-Durham; R.C.

Soles, D-Columbus; Marshall Rauch, D-Gaston; Bill Martin, D-Guilford; and J.J. "Monk" Harrington, D-Berlie. Also without opposition is Ralph Hunt, a black Durham city councilman who unseated Sen. Gerry Hancock, D-Durham, in the Democratic primary. Other legislative stalwarts won't be able to relax during the campaign season, and some may have to scramble to keep their jobs.

Senate President Pro Tern Craig Lawing, D-Mecklenburg, is being challenged by James D. McDuffie in the 34th Senate District, which was created during redistricting this year. Republican Sen. Chip Wright of Wilmington encounters a tough opponent in Claud "Buck" O'Shields, a Democrat, former chairman of the N.C. Association of County Commissioners and chairman of the Governor's Waste Management Board.
