For some SOS Madison County
six-year-okis, HAPPINESS came
to an end on Friday the thirteenth
of August, 1966.
That day ended the Operation
Head Start program which began
here in mid-June under the direc
tion of J. C. WaUin, Jr., well
known coach and athlete.
It meant the end of having a
'whole school building to them
selvesto play, to paint, and to
build things.
It meant leaving numerous ed
ucational toys, the big red tricy
cle and the huge blue wagon. "It
just didn't team right for the wag
on to be blue," Coach Wallin re
marked, "but to several of these
little fellows who had never been
in one, it didn't seem to really
master,"

Raleigh, North Carolina
Dear Governor Moore:
The Development Commission
of Madison County was extremely
pleased to have Highway Commis
sioner James G. Stikeleatiier, pres
ent at its monthly meeting on Au
gust 16th. We feel that he was
ahfjsxcellent choice for this im
portant post.
In connection with the upcoming
Road Bond Election, we hare the
following suggestion. We do not
think that yon could pick out of
the one hundred counties, a better
place to demonstrate tits head for
roads than Madison County. A
motorcade from Mars Hill to Mar
shall, thence along 25-70 to the
State lino, beyond Hot Springs,
would servo to dramatize this
assd in a wonderful way, and we
would urge that you, Commission
er Jos Hunt, Commissioner Stike
leather, and the other members of
the State Highway Comndssion,
together with newspapermen from
over the State, participate in
a motorcade. .
Wo will gladly assist and

Deputy HoR said the chaos be
gan about 8 p. m., Monday whan
the Flvnn vehicle raced through
the downtown Newport section ana
headed out on the Asbeville high
way. Deputies immediately gave
ine riynn vemce weavea in

forced several oncoming cars off
the road, and finally sideswiped
three ears, and kept going.
The left front fender of the
Flyn vehicle was badly bent in
one of the collisions, Deputy Holt
said, and this knocked the left
front tire out of service. The car
was wrecked at the side of the-
roadway.
Flynn and Metcalf jumped out
of the wrecked car and fled from
the scene. Metcalf was captured
within a short time. Flynn was
captured hiding in the nearby
woods following a brief chase on
foot by the deputies.
HARVEST BURLEY
WHEN FULLY RIPE
FOR TOP PRICES
Ripeness in burley tobacco
means different things to different
people. However, each year many
growers are cutting their tobacco
when it is still immature. There
are several reasons for wanting
ripe tobacco, and all have their'
roots in the economics of the crop,
the economics of production, and
the economics of manufacturing.
Ripe tobacco, when properly cured,
brings the top price on the market
and baa a higher percentage of
"smoker" quality tobacco than
does burley cut on the green side.
Ripe tobacco is more quickly cured
and, with the shorter cur
ing season, labor coats are reduced.
Ripe burley, when properly cured,
is easier to strip since rips tobacco
will strip into fewer grades than
will tobacco cut on the green Side.
Burley tobacco ripens from the
bottom to the top of the plant The
ripening of the plant for maximum
income depends on the nature of
the growing season and the soil
fertility level. If the crop has been

Commissioners
Madison
Consolidation
Is Proposed
A move that would ostensibly
cut election costs for Madison
County and at the same time
bring its voting places out of ga
rages, barns, tents, and other un
likely places has been organized.
A bi-partisan effort is being
made to get the county commis
sioners to call a special meeting
September 13, to reduce the num
ber of the county's townships
from 23 to eight, conforming with
the number of school districts.
Notice of intent to petition the
commissioners has been posted
publicly. Three voters from each
township are required to sign the
petitions.
Proponents have suggested the
following lineup of townships, to
gether with its numbered designa
tion and the old voting places it
will absorb:
Marshall (No. 1), incorporating
Nos. 1, 7, 6, snd 18, totaling 1,868
voters (but election).
White Rock (No. I), incorpor
ating Nos. t, 10, 19, 20, .and 23,
totaling 907 voters.
Mars Hill (No. 8), incorporating
Nos. 3,0, 14, and 16, totaling 1,-
685 voters.
Glen (No. 4), incorporat-
Nss. 4 and 21. totaling 905
Hot Springs (No. 6), in corpor-
sting Nos. 6 and 9, totaling 711
voters.
Ebbs Chapel (No. 7), incorpor
ating Noe. 11 and 16, totaling
626 voters.
Springs Creek (No. 8), incor
porating Nos. 8, 13 and 22, total
ing 503 voters.
Tax listing personnel economies
also could be effected by the
move, according to the backers.

Board Of Education Appeals
To Arbitrator After
Refusals
By LEWIS W. GREEN
Citizen-Times Staff Writer
The Madison County Board of
Commissioners has appealed to
Superior Court a tax board arbi
trator's decision to increase funds
to the Board of Education more
than double the allotment for last
year.
County auditor Bill Zink said the
Board of Education, headed by
Zeno Ponder, had asked for an in
crease of fl01,448 over last year's
budget.
Zink said last year's budget to
the Board o f Education w a s
$168,992, and that the figures re
presented county money only, and
not any funds scheduled to be re
imbursed by the state.
The hassle began in June when
the Board of Education submitted
their budget and a request for sn
increase. At that time, Iks county
government allowed an increase
of $17,830 to the education board.
At the time of the submission,
the board of education said a Mr
expense was aatioipatod at Mars,
hall High School. Zink said the
education board stated that new
sower and water facilities wars to
be installed at the Marshall
School.
