Page 9A THE BAXTER BULLETIN Monday, October 29, 1984 Pryor says Bethune gets out-of-state help because opponent 'can't paddle own canoe' Judge finds roses a relaxing hobby "We believe Pryor is out of step with the citizens of Arkansas on the issue of abortion," Willke said in a release. "Ed Bethune represents the views of the majority of the people in Arkansas and America." Pryor campaigned last week with farmers, talking about writing a new farm bill and consulting with farmers before voting on it. Although he did not endorse export subsidies, he said they should be considered. "I'm not ready to get glued into any area, but I think an export subsidy would help us offset the high dollar overseas," he said. be running the country the next four years the secretary of agriculture and the secretary of treasury and I think the people of Arkansas are honored to have these people in the state and to see this attention focused on a political race in the state." In Washington, the National Right to Life Political Action Committee endorsed Bethune Friday and commended him on his 100 percent pro-life voting record.

John C. Willke, the president of the organization, said Bethune has voted against federal funding for abortions and Pryor has voted for federal abortion funding. Baker and former President Gerald Ford, have campaigned for Bethune, who hopes to become Arkansas' first Republican senator since Reconstruction. Bethune's campaign announced Saturday that Rep. Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) would campaign for Bethune on Tuesday in Little Rock and would address a political forum at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

"I think people are beginning to resent this attempted outside influence on Arkansas elections," Pryor said. Bethune disagreed. "These people are the people who are going to By The Associated Press Sen. David Pryor says his Republican opponent, Rep. Ed Bethune, is bringing in out-of-state Republicans to campaign for him because he can't "paddle his own canoe." "There is a rumor floating around Little Rock that he may one day get up and say why he should be a senator from Arkansas instead of having outsiders come in," Pryor said.

Bethune and Pryor face off on Nov. 6. More than a dozen well-known GOP politicians, including Vice President George Bush, Senate Majority Leader Howard Clinton, Freeman take to the air waves, trade salvoes in gubernatorial campaign many years. The judge obtained his rose plants from his father, just to get started, and now is, by his own admission, "addicted to roses." "I don't like yardwork," he said. But, his wife does, and while he is outside in the rose bed, she can "get me to do other yard work, which I detest.

Burnett now has 25 rose plants and has already prepared a place for an additional 30 roses. To get ready for his rose plants, he first obtains a soil sample and has it analyzed through the Cooperative Extension Service. After receiving the recommendations for fertilization and other aspects, he adds the proper ingredients to the soil. Roses, he said, like mildly acid soil and plenty of water. "But," he said, "they don't like wet feet." Thus, roses need to be grown in a well-drained area.

Roses, he explained, cannot be simply planted and expected to grow. They require pruning, spraying, dusting and other care. Specialized pruning techniques are required to enable obtaining the best possible canes and buds for show purposes, the judge said. "I'm just a novice," Burnett said of his rose growing prowess. "I'm still learning." By CURT HODGES The ones bo ro Sun Circuit judges keep a busy schedule, especially in a large circuit like the Second Judicial District, which is the largest in area and the second largest in population in the state.

In order to relax, many circuit judges have hobbies they pursue during the times they are off the judicial bench. Circuit Judge David Burnett of Osceola, in his first term as a circuit judge, has started growing roses, and finds the hobby a good way to relax after hearing the trials and tribulations of others in the courtroom. Burnett has been successful -in his rose-growing endeavors, and in a recent Blytheville Rose Society show three of his roses were given first place ribbons and one was placed in the "Court of Honor." The judge said Court of Honor in a show includes the King, Queen and Princess and the court. "I was really proud to win the first place ribbons my firsttime in competition," Burnett said, "and to have a rose named to the Court of Honor on my initial outing was a special honor." Burnett comes by his rose-growing naturally. His father and mother, John D.

and Marjo-rie Burnett of Blytheville, have grown roses and have been members and participants in the Blytheville Rose Society for ness, there we have Bill Clinton who fights everything Ronald Reagan does, and tries to say, 'Well, it's not my fault. I couldn't do anything about Well, a governor should be a governor with some backbone and stand up and do whatever we can possible to keep our factories open," Freeman said. "Our light bills keep skyrocketing. Many people today are facing light bills higher than their house payments. And when your light bill gets bigger than your mortgage payment or your rent payment, something's wrong in the state of Arkansas," he said.

nice, but we're just not going to enforce Clinton said. The 1985 legislature also will be under pressure to reduce the standards, he said. "Bill Clinton keeps saying this race is a referendum on his education package. This election is not a referendum on the education package. This election is a referendum on the total record of Bill Clinton.

And it's a record of ineffective leadership." Freeman said. "Bill Clinton doesn't really understand what is happening in the state of Arkansas, and I believe we need a governor who does understand." Freeman said he would work to repeal of the weight-distance tax on trucks and to develop an economic plan. "Without a plan, it's government of crisis. That's the way Bill Clinton ruas government government by crisis," he said. "Factories close, then we have to do something.

Why don't we develop an economic plan for the state of Arkansas? That way, we can have a guide which to go by. But Bill Clinton hasn't done it." Freeman said the state has lost thousands of jobs because of the lack of an economic plan. Arkansas should have a governor who won't fight the president's plans, Freeman said. "My good By The Associated Press Gov. Bill Clinton said Sunday the Nov.

6 general election would be a referendum on his education reform package, but his Republican challenger, Woody Freeman, said it would be a referendum on Clinton's entire record. Clinton said the higher standards he pushed in the 1983 special legislative session would be watered down if Freeman is elected. Clinton made his comments in an interview on Jonesboro television station KAIT-TV's "In Focus Program. "He's just been telling everybody, 'Well, these standards are WHEN YOU THINK OF rB Gazette endorses Mondale LITTLE ROCK (AP) The Arkansas Gazette endorsed the Democratic presidential ticket of Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro in its Sunday edition. "The dangers vested in the Reagan politices are all too real; the remedies offered by the Democratic nominees are sound and strong.

The Arkansas Gazette endorses Mondale and his running mate, Geraldine Ferraro, in the conviction that Mondale's ideas and expertise in government are urgently needed to correct wild fiscal excess and to repair a foreign policy that has stimulated the most fearful arms race in the history of the world," the editorial said. The Gazette based its endorsement both on Mondale's record and merits and on what it terms the compelling case against President Reagan's re-election. "Mondale is a man with encyclopedic knowledge of the U.S. governmental process while Ronald Reagan is, on the record of a hundred lapses, the most uninformed president since Warren G. Harding," the Gazette said.

"Mr. Reagan is a former actor who enjoys the role of president but does not really understand his part." The editorial addressed Mondale's electability by saying, "The principal hope for the Democratic nominees is for a stirring, so far undetected in the polls, at the grass roots a rumbling recognition that the policies of the Reagan administration are laden with peril for the American economy and the threat of a nuclear holocaust."

Mrs. Petty said she believed the Democratic Party has turned its back on blacks and other minorities. "I think the Democratic Party takes the black vote for granted," she said. "I think that the losers in that process are the black people in America.

And I think blacks don't want a welfare state. They want a job. They want opportunity." By The Associated Press Republican congressional candidate Judy Petty appeared Sunday on a radio interview with a former professional football player who said social programs don't guarantee economic strength for minorities. Roosevelt Grier, who played with the New York Giants and the Los Angeles Rams, campaigned for Mrs. Petty, who is running for the Second District seat against Democrat Tommy Robinson and independent Jim Taylor.

"I saw a lot of social programs that were set up, that people went from one program to another program but still they didn't get any economic strength," Grier, an ordained minister and actor, said. "Black people need to get into businesses. Kids need to go to school and learn professions, be doctors, be lawyers, be engineers or whatever. These are areas that we as a people can improve ourselves." Grier and Mrs. Petty appeared on KLAZ's "Sunday Morning Live" program.
