Another person who lives within 35 miles of Marshall said he'd like to visit Madison County but was scared he would be shot if he attempted to do so. Still another person who resides in Asheville said he was anxious to ride "into the sticks of Madison County" to see how mountaineers actually live. This person, originally from a northern state, has a great deal in store for him and we believe he'll be a bit surprised and perhaps disappointed when he discovers that "us mountain folks" are, after all, human, civilized, progressive, and friendly. Although we do have our faults and short comings, we are certainly no worse than people anywhere else. In fact, we believe our people are "better" and live more peacefully than in many areas of our nation. So far as we know our people don't gather together for demonstrations, nor do they block sidewalks and roads, nor do they throw rocks at buildings and shatter windows, nor do they battle with policeman and firemen who are trying to do their duties. Our people don't try to burn buildings or disrupt employees who want to work. We never heard of a person from Madison County burning a draft card or the American flag. Generally, our people are friendly and welcome visitors. They work hard to earn a living even though too many must seek employment many miles from their homes. Throughout the county visitors will find beautiful homes, modern barns, modern farming techniques and a growing display of pride. They will find God-fearing people, modern churches, ana plenty of cordiality wherever they go. And certainly our county has been endowed with natural resources and beauty. At present there are no more beautiful scenes than the mountainsides in our county as they are turning green following the winter. Crops are beginning to show, trees beginning to bud and what is more picturesque than "cattle upon a thousand hills". To those who think we're tought to live with, or who are afraid to come to our county for fear of being shot, or to those who are skeptical and erroneously misinformed, we urge you to visit our 'ounty we think you'll be glad you did Frankly, we know of no other section of our nation we would rather live in than Madison County tnd we feel most of our people feel the same way. Deserved Awards Mrs. Sandra Buckner, REAP program clerk, and Miss Nila Robinson, compliance and production adjustment program clerk, in the Madison County ASCS office were presented awards at the NoCascoe Convention held in Greensboro on May 6 and 7.

The students recently com pleted 30 hours of intensive classroom study of the people, geography and culture of the countries they'll visit. "This will insure students getting the maximum out of their ex perience abroad," said Robert Kramer, director of studies abroad programming. The French tour will start with six full days in Paris, the German tour will feature visits to everything from a brewery to the Olympic complex, from East Berlin to Dachau; and the South America tour will include a contrast study between the primitive Indians of the coastal Jungle around Santo Domingo and the urban, sophisticated inhabitants of Bogota and Lima. Learning experiences abroad is a recent addition to Mars Hill's curriculum to add dimension to liberal arts education by exposing students to a culture other than their own. Nineteen students will be on professional development training in methods and techniques that contribute to the useful skills of ASCS County Office employment. Sandra has been employed in the Madison County ASCS office for two years serving as the REAP (formally known as ACP) clerk. She has done an excellent job and has devoted her time to duty and leadership. Nila received a NoCascoe Meritorious Service Award plaque and $25 in recognition of her out standing service to ASCS agriculture. Nila has been employed in the ASCS office for eight and one half years serving as compliance and production ad justment program clerk. She has done an out standing job in helping to administer the ASCS programs. In addition to ASCS work both Sandra and Nila devote much of their time to church work and community activities. Our congratulations go to Sandra and Nila on receiving these much deserved awards. to. -aaa. -. - I - 1 AYCOCK C0DY the French tour; 18 on the Germany tour; and 26 on the South American.

JMVlv: iw.BiwTWBKu.j comments bv praise of THE LAWRENCE WELK SHOW, v - During fus 1 .years on the : :ABC Television Network, Mr. vWelk: has made great con . tHbutlons' tv,American ,- television, and we have been . ' honored by our association with him. We all appreciate his great talent and popularity. Regrettably, the size of his national audience has declined substantially in the past two years and we feel it is now time to try new entertainment forms. While MrV Weft's regular network series W going off the air, we understand there is the strong possibility his program will be made available directly to various individual stations across the country next season. In addition; the ABC Television Network is discussing with Mr. Welk the possibility of his doing a series of holiday special programs next season, thus continuing the warm relationship this network has had with him. I do not think that anyone respects and admires Lawrence Welk more than we, who have worked with him over these past years. And we know that he, as we, deeply appreciates your feelings.
