TO BE OBSERVED
BY 4-H CLUBS
As part of the 4-H club pro
gram, 4-H Church Sunday is be
ing observed by the 4-H clubs in
the county on Sunday, May 23.
Each club, with the assistance of
their leaders and in agreement
with their pastors, worked out the
program for their Bervice.
Why do the 4-H'ers observe 4-H
Church Sunday ? The spiritual de
velopment of the individual is es
sential to a full, well-rounded life
of service to the community and
to the Nation. During these crit

than ever before to recognize that
in this development the church

Bill Is Killed
Committee
Raleigh A Republican effort
to reorganize the Madison Coun
ty Board of Education along mm
partisan lines was stifled in the
House Education Contmittee Wed
nesday.
By an apparent unanimous vote,
the all - Democratic committee
voted to kill a bill sponsored by
Madison Rep. Mrs. F. Crafton
Ramsey, a Republican.
The bill would have ousted the
present board, of which Zeno Pon-
der of Marshall is chairman. In
its place, a new five-member
board of three Democrats and two
Republicans would have been in
stalled June 1 to serve until the
1966 general elections when mem
bers would have been elected on
a nonpartisan oasis.
The present Madison school
board of five members is solidly
Democratic.

RE-EXAMINING
PICNICKING
FEES IN AREA
Plans to charge a feefor pic
nicking in federal recreation areas
in Western North Carolina are be
ing re-examined, Congressman
Roy A. Taylor said in Washington
Friday.
Edward C. Crafts, director of
the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation,
has assured Taylor that the entire
national recreation fee system
is being restudied. He promised
the Congressman that considera
tion will be given to a more
reasonable approach of the policy
on picnic fees.
A recent announcement by agen
cies under Crafts' direction of in
tentions to charge fifty cents per
adult for picnicking brought an
angry reaction from Rep. Taylor.
He sent protests to the agencies
involved. He charged that fees
for picnicking was contrary to the
leciKlntive intent of Congress.
Taylor discussed the matter pi
sonally with Interior Secretiry
Udall. He enlisted the support of
Rep. Wayne Aspinall, Chairman of
the House Interior Committee,
who introduced the bill.
He has also gained the support
of North Carolina's Senators and
other Congressmen.
