60 yards and Roberts again
converted from placement for
the final 30-6 victory. The game
ended with the Tornadoes in
possession at about the Trail
Blazer's 30 yard line.
Coach Roy Reeves stated
after the game he was well
pleased with the defensive play
of the Tornadoes throughout the
entire game and that the offense
began to roll in the fourth
quarter. "We were outweighed
20-25 pounds per man in the line
both ways," stated Beeves,
"but these boys are beginning to
hit with authority and we are
looking forward to the
remainder of our schedule with
anticipation."

I'lumbers Must
Be Licensed;
Law Cited
State Senator Lamar Gudger
notified Judson Edwards, clerk
superior court of Madison
County that a change has been
made by the North Carolina
General Assembly in regard to
plumbers being licensed.
The letter from Gudger to
Edwards follows:
Mr. Judson Edwards
Clerk Superior Court
Madison County Courthouse
Marshall, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Edwards:
Recently the North Carolina
General Assembly modified the
plumbing license law to require
that plumbers be licensed who
had previously been able to
practice their trade without a
license in communities and
towns where the population was
less than thirty-five hundred.
Under the new law anyone
who was engaged in the
plumbing business in one of the
low population areas is
privileged to be licensed
without examination provided
he applies for licensing before
December 31, 1972.
Knowing how broad your
acquaintance is in this area, it
occurred to me that you might
know people in some of the rural
areas of Madison County and in
some of the less populated
western counties, who would
want to qualify without
examination. If you know of any
such people, I would appreciate
your contacting them or giving
me thir names and address so
that I can contact them. I would
hate for anyone to lose his
livelihood on account of this
change in the law and I feel
some responsibility to notify
those who are directly affected.
Warm regards.
Very truly yours,
-s- Lamar Gudger

REAP Cost
Sharing
Available
Government cost-sharing is
now available under the Rural
Environmental Assistant
Program ( REAP) for
establishing winter cover crops,
according to Emory Robinson,
chairman of the Madison
County Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation
Committee.
In commenting on this, the
chairman said that winter cover
crops not only reclaim lost plant
nutrients, provide organic
matter, and prevent erosion,
but they also play an important
part in maintaining granular
soil structures. Planted early in
the fall, they insulate the soil
and prevent damage to soil
structure by repeated freezing
and thawing. They reduce the
number of freezes and thaws,
and promote and help maintain
large populations of earth
worms and other earth-boring
organisms. In addition they
protect the soil from winter and
water erosion.
Pasturing consistent with
good management is permitted,
and cover crops seeded on
acreage set-aside under the
Feed Grain and Wheat Set
Aside Program, may be grazed
after Oct. 1.
In conclusion, Robinson said
that farmers should visit the
ASCS office and sign up for cost
sharing on winter cover crops
or other conservation practices
they intend to carry out this fall.

WCU Catamounts Play In
Asheville Saturday
For the second year running,
the fortunes of Western
Carolina University football
will rely on the performance of
an inexperienced quarterback.
In drawing the blueprints for
the '71 campaign, WCU's head
coach Bob Waters had in mind
quite a different offensive
design than that which will take
the field against Murray State
University next Saturday af
ternoon (Sept. 11) in Asheville's
Memorial Stadium.
Waters, an ex-NFL signal
caller, is a firm believer in the
wide open, pro-type passing
attack. However, the sudden
loss of his ace passer last week
may force the Catamounts'
mentor to change his
philosophy.
Young Jeff Conner, a non
letterman sophomore from
Enka, was placed in charge of
the WCU offense when it was
learned that Hal Mote, the
miracle worker who guided the
Cats to victory in the last five
games last season, will be
sidelined for at least a month
with a fractured collar bone.
Western has had a pass
oriented offense under Waters'
guidance with over 5,000 yards
through the air during the past
two seasons.
"It is very possible that we
may have to rely on the ground
game more than ever before
with four inexperienced men
starting in the passing
scheme," said Waters. The
young men Waters referred to
