A few hours before the accident, bo(ys and girls were having a wonderful time at the Hallowe'en Car nival at the Marshall school. There were the cus tomary spooks, contests and games so enjoyed by ev eryone, especially the children. Adding to the enjoy ment were the annual "trick or treat" visits to the various homes. After a happjy night of enjoyment and fun, most of the children had returned to their homes. Little did they know that one of their classmates would meet death in a wreck and another of their classmates would be rushed to an Asheville hospital suffering from a broken arm and other injuries. However, this happened and what started out as a routine Hallowe'en was abruptly turned into trag edy. Just what caused the car to leave the highway and crash into an embankment is conjecture. Per haps a blowout? Maybe driving too fast? Possible that another car was involved? ; Just now no one c-r tnollir lrrtnnra What to IrnftTOTi ' hnwpvpr fa t.Vltif two V fine young people were suddenly taken from us (and the third, fortunately, surviveflj, Our deepest sympathy is extended to both ilies. CONDUCT GOOD STUPID Early reports about Hallowe'en from officers and others were encouraging; around Marshall. Per haps the most orderly Hallowe'en observance ever noted here was during the past week-end. Few se rious pranks were reported. Few, if any, windows were marked up with all sorts of words. Little cop motion was reported on Main Street following the Hallowe'en Carnival, much to the delight of adults who like to sleep on this special night. The Carnival was highly enjoyable and the con duct was excellent. Our hearts were gladdened at these fine reports. After all, our young people aren't half as "bad" as some people like to believe. But wait a minute! Reports here Monday morning disillusioned us. Officers and angry motorists revealed that some trees had been cut down and dragged ACROSS HIGHWAYS and ROADS, causing considerable dam age to cars. Miraculously, no serious injuries re sulted from this uncalled for vandalism or just plain stupid meanness. True, Dedrick Cody's car was damaged some ?300 when he and a passenger crashed into one of these "planted" trees across the road on Gabriel's Creek about three miles from Mars Hill. True, Ray burn Reeves, of Marshall, ran into one of these trees across the highway on Mashburn Hill, causing con siderable damage. True, trees had to be removed from the road near Johnson's Self-Service Store at Walnut. True, trees were layed across the road near the bridge at Barnard. Is this possible? How in the world could any person with good sense do such a thing? Don't they know such foolishness could cause death, injury, -a. , well as great damage? If the guilty persons areVdl! V prehended we hope they will be punished to the full extent of the law and then we hope their parents will take charge from there. It is also reported that broken out of tne worn unapei scnooi witn Droicen glass being thrown all over the school lunchroom. Such Hallowe'en "tricks" make this writer sick. When it comes to this sort of "enjoyment" and "pranks" then it's time to call a halt. Besides, Hal lowe'en is primarily for SMALL children, 12 years of 'age and younger. It certainly isn't supposed to be an occasion for older boys to run wild and destroy. Small children are cute in their costumes and during other observances such as "trick or treat" but grown bora are sometimes disgusting and revolting ... .i ...... Hiy when they become attu'ueuve.

Terry Lynn Cook has been on the sick Hat since Friday. She expects to be able to return to school Wednesday or Thursday. Means. MUburn Gosnell, Keith Gosnell, Leslie Gahagan, Gjady Gahagan, Birchard Shelton, Mrs. Anita Adkens, Mrs. Keith Gosnell and Miss Bonnie Gahagan are at tending conn in Marshall this week. Miss Margie Williams spent Friday night with Terry Lynn Cook. H The Rev. Mr, Wimp visited Mr. and Mn. Birchard Shelton and Mrs. Dorothy Cook last, which they had seen before had no effect on the appetites of the men, as they ate heartily of the big meal provided. That after noon we visited the Blount Experi ment Station, of University of Tennessee, where Mr. Tom High explained the forage and pasture work, stating that they firmly be- j lieve that corn silage is the back bone of the beef cattle industry; and that If we are going to com petewith the midwest, we should Use the forage's and we can pro duce more beef. They are work- ing on finishing cattle with a min- (mum of grain and a maximum of grass and silage. Then Mr. Will Butts spoke to the group on the testing program for the Universi ty's sires. He told the men how they take the most promising bull calves on the basis of type and weaning weight and feed them on in the feed lot to get a lifetime ! gaining rate, at about two years of age. About half way through this lifetime feeding penod, the more promising bulls were pick ed out to be bred to a few heifers, so that by the time the bull is two years old, they have a record on hie weaning weight and a sample pf his calves. He also showed us some of their cow herd and ex plained that they try to use most ly grass and silage and very little grain to feed this herd through out the year. The group also en joyed watching the crew there at the University doctoring their bulls, in preparation for them to go into sales and service. One highlight was a chute which laid (fce bull down while a sander was yged to trim the feet. The tour I $hen moved on to Lowland, Tenn. ( where we visited the Valleydale Lot 0f Grigsby Brothers. Mr. Ralph Grigsby welcomed the group and explained their opera program was corn silage. They had a trench silo which holds 120 thousand tons. This silage is mix ed with grain and supplements and fed, free choice, in a concrete bunker more than a mile and a quarter long. They had facilities for seven thousand bead and they figured to run two lots a year, or fourteen thousand head. per year." Mkny of the cattle in the lot had come from the Asheville sales. It is quite a spectacular sight to see thousands of cattle lining up at a feed bunk this sin. They were processing some of the steers which had just come to the lot at that time. They received a vac cination for lepto, Mack leg, and maMgnatedema ph a vitamin complex. They them with Rulene poured eh their backs for grubs and Bos. The tour arrived back in Marshall at 7:00 Wednesday night and h was enjoyed thoroughly by at.
