The new stem would consist ot garbage collection and garbage disposal Ker tamily m the county uould be u ithm live miles of a Dempster Dumpster. where the could take their garbage A truck would come by regularly and collect the garbage The garbage uould then be disposed o! in a sanitary iandtill This new plan uould save the time of the citizens who used it It would also, hopefully, do away with the dumps that spoil our roads and streams. A survey has been taken ot one of every eight residences m the county and 98 per cent of the people surveyed would like to see a disposal system in the count y Following is a series ot questions and answers concerning the proposal Let your commissioners knqw your view s on the plan. Write to them or talk to them or write the Madison County Board of Health. It would be a big step forward for Madison County. Q What is a landfill ' A The North Carolina State Board of Health defines a Sanitary Landfill as a "method of disposing ol solid waste on land in a sanitary manner without creating nuisances or hazards to public health or safety by utilizing the principles of engineering to confine the solid waste to the smallest practical area, to reduce it to the smallest practical volume, and to cover it with a layer of compacted earth at the conclusion of each day's operation or at su(3i more frequent intervals as may be necessary." Q. Where would the landfill be located? ."; A There have been several sites proposed. The final site will be determined and purchased by the county and will be located near the center of the coimty Q. Where would the money for the new system CCWie from ' --" A The initial investment for the project would cajne from the Federal and local funds Federal and local funds would buy the land and prepare it for use. It is estimated that S30.()00a year would be required to maintain the pick-up system and the landfill project This, sum would be supported by the county. There are 5000 families in the county. Basing the above figures on all families participating, the cost would be approximately $(i 00 per family per year Q Who would use the new system? :-;. A K ery one in the county w ould use the landfill. Garbage from both the rural areas and the cities ; wmild be processed at the landfill Q How is a landfill different from the dump we ha e now ' A The re are three advantages to the proposed sanitary landfill that make it more desirable than the present dumps First, in a landfill the trash is not burned and does not pollute the air. Second, it isolated and concentrated The present dump sites are located in the cities and are at best ugly and malodorous A third advantage to the landfill is its control of pests In present dumps rats and insects ttifive. A landfill system covers the trash and prevents pests from feeding on the garbage '' 'J-fi W'hat would be done with existing dumps ' i A Existing dumps would be closed and covered jwjth 2 feet of compacted earth t Q. Why is it needed ' A The present system is old-fashioned and unsanitary An open dump also is responsible for the reduction of land values The new system would provide an authorized site for the disposal of gar bage and trash. Now no such authorized sites exist. "Q. Will there be a countrywide collection ser vice? A. Ves. forty Dempsty Dumsters will be distributed along rural roads. Each family will be within 5 miles of a Dumpster. Trucks will empty the containers twice a week, or more often if necessary. ; What is a Dempsty Dumpster?

North (iirolina As president und immediate past president of the Madison County Chapter of NCAE. we wish to make clear lo the readers of Hie Asheville Citizen that the teachers down here in Madison County are just about average. By average, we mean we can and do exercise our voting privileges. We vote as we please We are not bought and neither do we buy a job. We are not coerced and we do not fear l)r Bates Henderson. The Asheville Citizen-Tunes or any political machine We vote by machine and to our knowledge, after doing considerable research, no teacher in Madison County has ever failed to master the art of manipulating ihe electronic gadget and thereby exercising their right of franchise ()n behalf of the teachers in the Public School System here in Madison County, we wish to take exception to any editor, editor's assistant, newsbutch or janitor who would be responsible for publishing and circulating the low grade tripe purportedly signed by Dr. Bates Henderson on August 8, 1971 in Back Talk. We have four Gentleman and one I-ady duly elected to the Board of Education ; one college mathematics professor at Mars Hill College, another former dean of Mars Hill College, a very successful merchant from Hot Springs, a successful beef cattle and tobacco farmer from Laurel, and the chairman of the board of education is a very successful general fanner of Marshall. They are completely independent of any political machine or individual. We, as teachers, deeply resent the printing of any innuendo at tempting to make it appear we have puppets rather than people operating our Public School Program. We feel certain that this letter will not be published since it does not in any way degrade Madison County and from an experience of a lifetime, we have learned quite well that The .Vsheville Citizen has for a long, long time been dedicated to the proposition of using Madison County as a whipping boy. Jusf in case we are wrong In our judgment and this should be published, let us ask a simple question of the editor. Who is to decide whether Madison County is to be given to Georgia? Respectfully, Vernon J. Ponder President, Madison County Chapter NCAE J Bruce Phillips Immediate Past President Madison County Chapter NCAE cc: The News-Record Mr. William M. (Bill) Roberts Mr. Robert L. Edwards Miss Alice Kay St. John Personals Bride Of William Silver Miss Alice Kay St John became the bride of William E. Silver. Saturday. Aug. 14, at 3 P in in the Cliff Temple Baptist il mrch, Dallas. Tex. The Rev. John Shanks conducted the ceremony.

She carried a small family Bible topped with a cluster of blue carnations, pearls and ribbon streamers. The bridegroom's father was best man. Groomsmen were D. I. St. John, brother of the bride and James J. Vanderpool, fraternity brother of the groom. Ushers were Walt Davis of Greenvelle, Tex. and Dean (lark of Asheville. Miss Trudy Butsch of Dallas, Tex. was maid of honor. Bridesmaids were Mrs. Walt Davis of Greenvelle Tex. and Miss Polly Silver, sister of the groom. They wore blue taffeta gowns in the Victorian style and headpieces matching the bride's. They carried arrangements of blue, white and pink carnations.

After two years of preparation Mars Hill College will launch its innovative "4-1-4-1-2" curricular experiment next week as some 1,400 students and over 100 teachers gather on campus for the start of the Baptist school's 116th year. Mars Hill will be among a handful of colleges in the state, and the only one in Western North Carolina, trying the 4-1-4-1-2 academic schedule and calendar, which refers to the maximum course loads for students: four courses per two 17-week semesters, one course per two "mini-mesters" and two courses for the seven-week summer session. The curricula revision was an outgrowth of the college's four year experience with service learning and independent studies programming, ac cording to Dr. Fred B. Bentley, president. The new curriculum will implement this belief by em phasizing courses instead of credit hours, by inaugurating freshmen seminars designed by students themselves, by reducing the number of required courses and increasing the number of electives and by the concentrated studies in the three-week short terms. "What we are after," Bentley said, "is a curriculum which neither stifles imaginative students and faculty nor hinders those traditionally oriented." This weekend the college's 107 faculty members will begin a three-day workshop on learning potentials by Dr. Daniel Jordan, director of the Center for the Study of Human Potential at the University of Massachusetts. The faculty also will discuss other changes such as a new instructor-student advisory system, modified class at tendance requirements, an altered grading system (some courses will be graded merely "Satisfactory" or "Un satisfactory") and the new courses created for the fresh men "Inquiry" seminars, the mini-mesters and the in terdisciplinary "Human societies." Fall semester classes will begin Monday, Aug. 30. I t I The Rev. and Mrs. Albert A. Peverall, Jr. and four children ol Roanoke, V. visited friends in Marshall on Thursday of last week.

By the time actual damage is noticed, the caterpillars have developed to a stage where they are hard to control with chemicals. Ekjjs remain in the bags over winter.
