NATIONALLY, THE years 1975-1976 were ones to remember. 1975 was filled with kid- nappings, and energy and money conserva- tion. 1976 was the year of a national election and the Olympics. In September of 1975, Patty Hearst, daugh- ter of newspaper millionaire William Randolph Hearst, was captured and returned to face trials for her activity with the Symbionese Lib- eration Army.. Miss Hearst had undergone a lengthy kidnapping by the organization. Sports-wise, the Pittsburgh Steelers repeat- ed their championship by defeating the Dallas Cowboys in the Super Bowl, 1976, by a score of 21-17. ln basketball, North Carolina beat Maryland to win the Atlantic Coast Conference in early spring, 1975, while Wake Forest up- set N. C. State to capture the Big Four title for the second year straight in early January, 1976. President Gerald Ford escaped injury when two assassination attempts were made on his life. The first was made by Lynette Fromme, a follower of Charles Manson: the second by Sarah Jane Moore, a mentally ill housewife. The divorce rate'-continued to rise causing the breakdown of the family. The production and purchasing of small cars was evidence of the money crunch and energy conservation program that gripped many people. New sub- stitute foods such as soy bean meal and imita- tion eggs and mayonnaise began to appear on grocery store shelves as shoppers sought more convenient and cheaper but nourishing foods. A big break-through in the space program occurred when the U.S. sent its first unmann- ed space ship to Mars. Politically, Terry Sanford, former governor of North Carolina, announced in January of 1976 that he would not continue his presi- dential campaign. Ronald Reagan, presidential hopeful, made a stop in High Point to boost his campaign support. Fighting and bombing continued in the Mid- East and in Northern Ireland. The CIA ran into problems with its past investigations. Quebec, Canada found it wouldn't be able to afford the 1976 summer Olympics.
