This is a pathetic situation which should be solved, if possible. Being a lover of animals, we hate to see any dog or cat neglected and hungry. At present there is a pitiful black female doe that came to our house and the James Penland house several weeks ago and we all fed and petted it. Naturally, the little dog which we call "Blackie" has remained up on the hill She usually sleeps on our front porch and has definitely adopted us as her family. We can't, however, take other stray dogs home and care for them AlthniiPh nnr Persian rat Ppnnv upK alnno r-- - ' - ' r' ' ' " "r right well with Blackie, we're sure this couldn't be true with too many strayers. We know of no ordinance prohibiting people from leaving unwanted dogs on the street. Just who is responsible for such conditions we do not know. Marshall doesn't have a of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) so it may be that no one is actually responsible for taking these dogs to the animal shelter or pound near Asheville. Some humane disposition of these pitiful animals should be made. It just isn't right to kill or maim an animal just because the animal is hungry and has no home. Something must be done.

Tq Editor EDITOR WRITES This is what might be ter med a letter to the editor by the editor. Unusual, yes, but I think an explanation should be made regarding the letter to the editor last week by S. S. Shelton concerning the pur chase of a hat at one of Marshall's dry goods stores. I talked with the owner and clerk which transacted the hat purchase and in all fairness to the store, the clerk and Mr. Shelton, I am explaining what happened, according to the owner and clerk. Mr. Shelton visited this particular store on the Saturday before Christmas and saw the hat he wanted, a black, felt hat, size 7. He asked the price and the clerk i temporary for the holidays and I personally know is honest I saw what appeared to be tag marked $1.98. She told him and they agreed it was a quite a bargain. Later, however, the clerk noticed that the bottom of the "1" was behind the band on the hat and it was actually a "6", making the price $6.98 instead of $1.98. An easy mistake to make, indeed. She and Mr. Shelton laughed about the mistake and she asked him if he wanted to buy the hat which was ac tually priced $6.98, and he voluntarily did. He left in a Hood mood and it was shocking indeed to the store owner and clerk that Mr. Shelton would write such a letter 1 think perhaps he is a bit confused. I feel certain NO clerk in ANY store in Marshall would deliberately try to gip anyone. He said there were two price tags. There was only one lie nas nis stores mixed up due to a second letter I received. I hope Mr. Shelton will apologize for his letter published last week. I believe he should. The Kditor BALL WRITES Jacksonville, Fla. January 13, 1971 Mr Jim Story, Editor Hie News-Record Marshall, N. C. Dear Jim I got a kick out of reading about the courthouse rooms tx-ing locked up. The last sentence in your January 7 editorial about the Nativity one week and a political battle the next week really needed to be spread through the county and shouted to the hills of Old Madison' It is so true! Sincerely, Gerald D. Ball 3106 Kline Road Jacksonville. Fla. 32216 Dear Mr. Story: Millions of people are wasting their time smoking all over the world. They do it all day just to nurse their nasty habit. Mounting scientific evidence shows that cigarette smoking is dangerous to health. Yet an alarming number of people persist in making cigarettes their constant companions. Forty to 50 percent of all children are smokers. Most continue smoking as adults. It causes many unproven diseases such as cancer, bronchitis, emphysema and heart disease Don't forget cigarettes may seem to be harmless companions but they are not Help me stamp out cigarette smoking for your sake and others. Ricky Gene Ballard 11 -year -old, 6th grader last week space prohibited using Dot Shupe's column, "Just A Woman's Ob servations" so last week's column is being used this week.... she said it was all right.. . don't feel badly, Dot, I bad to shave my column to four inches.. .can never tell how space will turn out until the final minute of "make-up" on Thursday mor- nings... although not any world-shaking activities occur at the Chamber of Commerce meetings here, we do have a Just A Woman's Observations Last week I was so busy grading papers and averaging grades for the first half of the year that I just didn't find time to write. Today (Tuesday) the cards went home to the parents and I guess a few will take a little trip to the woodshed for some "tea". Some students get mad at me foir for telling about the cards going home, but they are usually the ones that their parents' should see what they made for the grading period. Well, little Jane Ann Wyatt made her appearance last Monday down at the Lincoln County Hospital! Her proud parents are David and Willa Ann Plemmons Wyatt. I'll declare Auburn looks ten years older since he became a "grandpaw". Grandmother Reva Plemmons said she just felt very happy and had a pretty twinkle in her eye. Aunt Maxine was so nervous last week I told her she reminded me of Pearl when Charlotte was born! Have you been keeping up with the weather the first 12 days of this year so you could tell how the weather will be for the rest of 1971? Today is so nice and warm, we are evidently going to have a hot December! If this keeps up, we'll soon have an early spring. We didn't need a fire at school today. Mr. Whitt wore the loudest red coat and tie that I've ever seen. I believe he's going to surpass President Fred Bentley of Mars Hill College before long. I told him one day this week that it seemed he had a new shirt and tie for each hour, but maybe he does wear them all day. But that coat.... I read the other day some place that Jackie had started going to Onassis' church the Greek Orthodox. And that Caroline was also. And that the Kennedys were about to get excited. And I read, too, that Jackie can't be buried in Arlington alongside of Jack. Which, I guess, is fair since she chose to marry a "furriner". I don't know if any of this interests you, but I still like to read about the Ken nedys even if I don't approve of some of the things they do. OBSERVED Glad Ruth is back at Beautytime and over her flu Sandy Landers came by for a few minutes yesterday and she will graduate on Friday the 13th (in August) from Mars Hill College finishing in three years, good going, gal I enjoyed the Comedy Bowl Sunday night, did you see it?
