Should Be A Street
Long, long ago when there
were very few houses on the
Walnut Creek Road In the
corporate limits of Marshall It
was appropriate to call the then
dirt road "Walnut Creek Road."
That was exactly what It was a
road.
In recent years, however, new
homes have been built in this
area with more contemplated.
Instead of the steep, dusty dirt
road, this area is served by a
hard-surfaced road. The entire
appearance of this section of
Marshall has changed that is,
except we still refer to it as the
"Walnut Creek Road".
Shouldn't this be changed?
We think so.
What "legal" steps are
necessary to change a name of a
road or street we do not know
but we believe this could be
worked out easily. One
suggestion is to adopt a name
for the section from the Mash
burn intersection to the by-pass
and let this area's location oe
called a STREET rather than a
Road.
We suggest the residents who
live in this area get together and
pick out a name for the street
. and submit the name to the
proper authorities.

THANKSGIVING DA Y
(Hazel B. Ramsey)
Winds are blowing brisk and frosty,
It's time to gather in the grain.
Soft snowflakes will soon be falling
Where summer blessed the earth with rain.
Gather red delicious apples.
Tuck pumpkins neath the shocks of corn,
Being glad and truly thankful
For all good things the land has borne.
The turkey's crisp and turning brown.
The oven has been turned down low;
Spicy pumpkin pies are cooling
On the windowsill in a row.
The tart cranberry sauce is ready.
With giblet gravy steaming near;
And soon each place will be filled
As is the custom every year.
When the family has been seated
Then each a silent prayer will say.
For the blessings God has given
Since the last Thanksgiving Day.

I have about 25 things I need
to get done, but can't decide
which to do first, so 111 ramble a
bit about what's been happening
to me, and then get on the ball.
After keeping the gate the
other night, I got myself a good
cold and dont feel up to par, but
am trying to do all those things
that must be done and leaving
the majority of chores for a
later date! I had fun seeing
everyone and chatting a bit;
that Is, except for Donnl
Ramsey wno was mean to me
and I'm waiting for him to send
me flowers or candy to make up
for how maughty he was when
he came through the gate-on a
pass, at that
Arent you proud of our
football team this year? I have
fun kidding Randy Roberts,
Mike Freeman, Larry Wright
and Melvin Teague during
English class, but deep down
I'm really pleased that they are
doing so well on the gridiron.
Oh, I got to see Eagle Moss
catch a beautiful pass at the
Western Carolina-Murray State
game! Gee, he's all the papers
have said about him! And
James Tipton looked good too,
in that ballgame, but the op
position was Just a little too
much.
The rain was terrible, but
Shupe and I went on to
Greenville and saw Ap
palachian play Furman for the
first time and come out with a
0-0. tie! Of course the biggest
reason for our going was to see
Charlotte and was she surprised
when we walked up into the
stands! The Furman mascot, a
man on a beautiful horse with
his shield with s big "F" on it,
got at the end of the field two or
three times, thinking the team
was going to score-but they
didnt! The Apps held them
twice near the four yard line.
Pearlr; ud Bob left us
Monday morning after a visit of
several days and we really
enjoyed having them. They also
runted' Georgia and Marvin
saw their cute new puppies
Yes, two darling little 'let me

Dachshund females named
Heidi and Gretel Think they
are going into the business of
raising puppies! They also
visited Blanche and Barbara
Henderson, and spent Saturday
and Sunday with Knox and
Verna visiting our Brigman
relatives all around. Hope they
had a nice time and have a safe
trip back to Baltimore.
Did you watch the Miss
America Pageant? I missed this
one for the first time in a long
while. I think the new winner is
very pretty and know she is
excited over it all. I'm so glad
the new TV rrograms are about
here. I enjoyed seeing Laugh-In
Monday night, but was too
sleepy to enjoy all of Bob Hope's

Lions Moving Up
MARS HILL - What could prompt (or is provoke
a better word) a man to give up a successful high school
coaching Job to take on a position at a small, neatly
out of the way college like Mars Hill?
Harold Taylor, for one, had every reason to take a
rather skeptical second glance at the situation at Mars
Hill:
the school could offer only 10 football grants-in-aid. .
the student body numbered around 1,500 and officials
didn't want any more, whether it was
to build a football program or not
the last Homecoming Game,
where athletics influence the paying
customers, had resulted Si a 56-11
mismatch loss to Western Caroline.
the athletic budget was so far
ki the red that officials had disband
ed the football squad in 1968.
Mars Hfll was, ki the early
months of 1969, a college that was
small t&me in all but one respect . . .
athletic facilities.
And that was one thing that
LARRY POPE caught Taylor's eye when he In
terviewed for the job. "The athletic facilities here were
certainly a factor," the third - year Lions' head coach
said the other day as he lounged in the comfortable football
offices at Mars Hill.
"We feel like our facilities are our strongest selling
point when it comes to recruiting. I don't think you'll
find a school as smaH as ours anywhere with the facilities
we have."
Hiat was not the whole story, however. "I had been
coaching high school football in Tennessee," Taylor continued,
"and I wanted a chance to get into coBege coaching.
The biggest factor was that I'd be starting over with
new people and we were going to sink or swim with
our own philosophy."
asBssBsW
v 1
Taylor's Move Succesful
That was two seasons ago and Taylor's philosophy Is
apparently paying off for Mars Hill. His first team registered
a 6-1 record and last year's ckib, playing a schedule that
included schools like Randolph-Macon, Presbyterian and
Emory & Henry rather titan the Western, Appalachian State
and Catawba scouts, finished with a respectable 5-5 chart.
In the meantime, the scholarships have been increased
to 17tt and the recruiting emphasis has switched from
the North Carolina area to South Carolina and south Georgia.
"We probably get a lot of criticism for not recruiting
in Asheville, but whra we go to a game there we see
North Carolina, State, Duke and Wake Forest not to mention
Western and the others," explained assistant coach BiH
Mitchell.
"So we go into South Carolina and down in Georgia
where we can get good football players that Just haven't
been recruited' by anyone else. They're good first and
second choices, too."
The facilities at Mars Hill still bring them In, too,
and this is important, says Taylor, "when we can't offer
a kid anything on a visit. We tell them to bring their
hinch and stay overnight.
"We don't even have a recruiting budget."
Mars Hill's athletic complex, built four years ago at
a cost of 2.5 million, is well above adequate. It include a
3,500-seat gym, swimming pool and weight room, modern
dressing faciHties, a 5,000 seat stadium and a "bunk room"
for visiting teams. It's first class all the way.
Lions On Right Track
All this has contributed to improved football at Mars
Hill and Taylor, a "chain" pipe smoker, believes the Lions
are on the right track. He doesn't say it in so many
words, but you get the impression that a winning season
is brewing there this fall.
"The morale here has been tremendous," he said. "It's
a whole new attitude. The people (officials) here at Mars
Hill have been just great and the entire school seems
to take an interest in what we're trying to do."
Mars Hill opens its nine-game schedule next Saturday
at Catawba, then comes home on Sept .25 to host Randolph
Macon in the first of four home games.
"Tie biggest thing going for us now," continued Taylor,
"is that we're fielding competitive teams. We don't have
the scholarships or the talent to overpower anybody, but
we can compete now.
"We're just not going to be big-time. We just want
to tompete in our own league." Taylor points to two losses
las) season to underline his premise. In the first, Mars
Hill lost to Catawba of the Carolinas Conference 13-14
and k the other the Lions dropped a 21-tt count to Presby
terian. "And we have those same people back this year,"
he smiled.
Among the returners are running backs John Dawklns
and 9.4 sprinter Jeff Davis, the guys who make Taylor's
Texas Wishbone offense move. The quarterback is soph
Kip Smith, an ace passer. Defensively, the Lions rely on
end Gene Radford and tackle Ray Kinney, both solid bitters.
"We didn't realize how good we were until we got
on the field last year," said Taylor. He's hoping, of course,
to have that same advantage over opponents this year.

Animal cages for humans
Policeman's widow in London says
she's through crying now. Now, says
Mrs. Maureen Richardson, she's going to
make his death count for something.
Now she is crusading to revive
hanging.
Determined to ralley the nation to
restore hanging to the law books.
She says, "If our country were at war
nobody would object to killing the enemy.
Our country is
at war with
criminals; kill
them."
One hundred
years ago you
and I would
have seen
me n t a 1
p a t ten ts
chained to
dungeon walls
and left there
to worsen and die, and you and I would
not have liked it but we would not have
known what to do about it. Surely those
criminally inclined could not be released
to menace society.
In the century since, knowledge,
therapy and drugs have emptied the
dungeons and restored most of the
mentally ill to liberty and useful activity.
Today our prisons are what our
"madhouses" were 100 years ago,
animal cages for humans. Indeed, 60 of
our nation's prisons date back to the
19th century; IS were in use before the
Uncivil War.
Iri most of our most "modern" prisons,
fledgling lawbreakers are hardened by
homosexual rape, beatings, rioting.
President Nixon has asked Atty. Gen.
Mitchell to effect prison reform, with
emphasis on rehabilitation, partlculary
of the young offender. The President
says that the "public deserves to be
By PAUL HARVEY
protected from the criminal who comes
out more dangerous than when he Went
in."
Ronald Goldfarb, Washington attorney
who researched penal reform, thinks we
should "tear down our prisons and start
over." ,
He says,"In the great number of cases
we would do better to take the billion
dollars we spend warehousing these men
and do almost anything else."
Specifically, he recommends a "victim
compensation plan" for the 80 per cent of
all crimes which involve stolen property.
Instead of trying to punish the criminal
by paying his room and board tor X
number of years, leave him "outside"
but make him work and pay back what he
stole plus s substantial penalty. .
Great Britain and Sweden have tried
"victim compensation programs," six of
our United States are beginning to.
That leaves the 20 per cent of other
Unds of criminals the violent ones
necessarily segregated. But surely, until
we are able to learn and apply a remedy
for their distrubed brains, we can devise
a form of secure confinement which is at
least safe for the inmate.
Otherwise, as Dr. Karl Menninger
says, "We commit the more serious
crime of punishment."
The chief of California 's prison system,
Raymond Procunler, says "outside
agitators who have been sponsoring
campus violence now are agitating the
prison population," resulting to the
recent pox of intra-prison violence:
While men of conscience look the other
wsy, agitators inflate legitimate
grievances until they explode.
Perhaps what's needed is a XKh cen

turned Britain's debtor prisons Inside
out and emptied them.
