C 28753 JAMES I STORY. Editor SUBSCRIPTION RATES IN MADISON - ADJOINING COUNTIES 15 Month! $4 50 12 Month! 4.00 8 Months 3 50 6 Months 3.00 4 Montht 2 50 AIRMAIL is EDITORIAL TV A Flood Plan Clarification Connie Blackwell, Asheville Citizen staff writer, has explained several facts involving the con troversy over the proposed TVA 14-dam project, as follows : Certain facts involved in the controversy over the proposed 14-dam Tennessee Valley Authority system for Western North Carolina apparently have not been understood or have not been made clear. One is exactly who is for or against the project and why, based on public statements or comments to date. And the other is the environmental statement. Gov. Robert Scott, at this point, has not publicly endorsed or opposed the project. The only thing Scott has said concerning the project is a letter of comment on the draft en vironmental statement, on which state agencies are expected to file comments. Scott based his letter to TVA last week on these comments from the various agencies. He did not say he was against the project, only that TVA's preliminary environmental statement, according to the state's experts, was "inadequate." The Metropolitan Planning Board of Buncombe County and Asheville's City Council have endorsed the project, strictly for its benefits for citizens in their coverage area. Some members of the present boards of county commissioners in Buncombe, Madison, and Hen derson have, as individuals, spoken in favor of the entire project as it affects their territory; however, only the present board of Transylvania County Commissioners has endorsed the project publicly as an official body. Mars Hill College has endorsed the project for its benefits to Madison County and Warren Wilson College faculty members have gone on record in opposition to the project, officials say, because of its detrimental effect on the environment, especially the Swannanoa Valley, are greater thatn its total benefits. U.S. Rep. Roy A Taylor and U. S. Sen. B. Everett Jordan have worked hard to get money appropriated for the project because, as they have said numerous times, they were asked to by constituents in the Upper French Broad area. Both men have, recently at least when op position to project has developed to such an extent, listened to proponents and opponents Both have said they still believe in the project. The old Upper French Broad Economic Development Commission, in the midst of a tran sformation to a council local governments, has been the agency developing the project from the begin ning, and commission members are firmly con vinced it is necessary to the growth of the four county area. The three largest conservation organizations in the state have on record recently as opposing the project because they say enviromental damage would be greater than its benefits in their opinion the N. C. Wildlife Federation, the Conservation Council of North Carolina and the Joseph LeConte Chapter of the Sierra Club. Too many individuals have expressed them selves pro and con to be listed; however, basically andperhaps: oversimplified, there are only t w o points of view: The project will be of great benefit in flood control, future water supply, etc., to Buncombe, Henderson, Madison and Transylvaia counties, enough to warrant TVA's take-over of 18,000 acres of land, and displacing about 600 families. On the other side is the argument that the damage to lands, forests and people is far greater than the proposed benefits. The project itself and the environmental statement on the project are two separate items of consideration, but have been confused, apparently, even in the minds of some officials. '? An environmental statement is now required on leach project in the United States that utilizes federal funds. The statement is prepared by the agency involved, in this case TVA, and circulated to other local and state level agencies for comment, in cluding conservation organizations. These comments make up the draft or . preliminary environmental Impact statement which is made available for public opinion and sent to federal level groups for comment The final statement prepared from all this comment, goes to ,the Council on Environmental Quality for recom mendation. , ' An environmental impact statement is expected to stress the adverse effects of the project and give methods of handling these effects, of minimizing them, and of possible alternatives and why the main proposal was selected over these alternatives and vuy the main proposal was selected over these alternatives, as well as justification for the project A statement that reaches the federal level without all the facts could cause the project to be tur-ed down or mav be returned to the agency with a 1171 Page t SUBSCRIPTION RATES OUTSIDE MADISON COUNTY 15 Month!

Many people have a few plants at home In their vegetable garden or even In their flower garden to provide a source of supply. Fortunately, there are tomato growers who funlsh excellent tomatoes for those of us who have to buy our foods. A recent tour of the trellis tomato Industry In western North Carolina was an eye opener. In the past ten or twelve years the trellis tomato business has grown from nothing to an industry ap proaching $5,000,000 in eighteen of the western counUes. The natural advantages of suitable soils, warm days, and cool nights allow the mountain area to grow large yields of good quality tomatoes. A great deal of land is not needed for production thus tomatoes are ideal for concentrated mountain farming. It was a beautiful sight to see farms with several acres of plants carefully staked and to watch the workers picking the tomatoes. Following the farm tour a visit was made to the packing plant to watch the washing, grading, siting, wrapping and packaging. Many hands were working swiftly and efficiently to start high quality, firm tomatoes on their way to the market place. The packing plants do their work efficiently, then it is important that tomatoes are treated gently in the grocery stores and by the consumers. A few tips can increase your enjoyment of tomatoes. Please dont be a "pincher" when you are doing your buying. Tomatoes bruise easily. Ripe toamtoes keep best in the refrigerator where the cold stops the ripening process. Make a practice of peeling and cutting tomatoes Just before using. If you must prepare them early, keep them covered in the refrigerator until time to cook or serve them. Underripe tomatoes, even mature ones about to turn color, will ripen indoors. Spread them out at cool room temperatures. Light isn't needed to produce good red color after tomatoes are picked. Ripening on a sunny window sill is not recommended. Too much sunlight prevents normal development -of color. Im mature green tomatoes won't ripen. To get the most enjoyment and Vitamin C from tomatoes eat them raw and fresh. Remember they hold a large share of vitamins even when cooked. For variety you might like to try Golden Glow Tomatoes, Tomato and Squash Au Gratln or Relish Salad or one of your recipes. Personal Mention Mrs. P. C. Hanson of Fresno, California, and Mr. & Mrs. Lee H. McDaris of Asheville visited Mr. McDaria's sister and Mrs. Hansen's cousin, Mrs. Effie M. Morgan, and her son Joe Morgan, last Saturday.

Just A Woman's Observations By DOROTHY BRIGMAN SHUPE Boy, won't you be glad when the time changes back to Standard time? I'm looking forward to the last Sunday in October, which seems a year away, as I crawl out of bed these brisk, cool mornings! But it won't be any time until we'll get caught up again and have not enough time before school each day! Stopped over in town the other afternoon and saw Ben Frisby, Sr., who has recently had a broken leg. He said he was getting along fine and he looked good. Also saw Mrs. Jerry Rice who told me she had been quite ill this summer, but she was looking good too. Then I went on to Ruth's Beautytime and saw Mrs. Lawrence McElroy who was just as pretty as ever and she said her mother, Mrs. Wiley Roberts, was in good health. So it is good to report that so many are getting along fine! I believe I am bad luck to Pop on press day. Several times I've tried to stay in town until he gets back with the paper from Canton, and he has been very late most of the times. Last Thursday, I had my hair done, went to eat supper at Page and Pricey's and then back up to wait for him to get back. Saw Bill, and she knew nothing of him, and finally gave up around 7 o'clock! About 8:30, Bill called to tell me that Pop had called and he would be around ten o'clock getting back with the paper! Woe is me! But I guess Pop felt a little more upset than I! My students were surprised that I did get their names in the paper, and here art some more: Betty Caldwell, Mabel Martin, Dottle Reed, Deborah Wilson, Charles Morrow, Tony Sliver, Rex Wortey, Donna Messer, Linda Bowen . and Carol - Meadows. Gee, now I'm even teaching the children some of , my first students! Time waits . for no man, I guess. ,.

Letters To Editor Dear Mr. Story: This is just a note to thank you for your continued interest and published report for the flood control and water resources program for the region. At a time when many newspapers seem to be more interested in creating controversy back-and-forth between various factions, you have on several occasions run pictures featuring the devastation of past floods as you did in your September 9 addition. I believe the published record of the Mills River hearing will indicate those speaking in opposition were largely from outside the proposed Mills River Reservoir and, in fact, many such opponents are themselves people who have recently retired in the area having little to no prior knowledge of the truly devastating floods this region has repeatedly experienced. Many of their own testimonies reveal that, retiring within the area, they wish for the region to remain as it is today. Again, thank you for your interest in the planned future development of our region. Most sincerely, -s- Robert W. Winston, Jr. Executive Director Upper French Broad Economic Development Commission Farmers who plan to grow tobacco in the same field next year should take some steps now to prevent disease and insect damage. The following steps will prove beneficial. ( 1 ) Plow out the old tobacco roots and leave on top of ground. (2) Plant a small grain cover crop and plan to turn it under early. (Legume cover crops can make black root rot worse.) Little things sometimes mean the difference between a good crop and a fair crop. The wise farmer trys to do all the little things right. Emmitte Allen the other day and she was nice enough to say she read my column. Seems no time ago that she and Mr. Allen lived aroung the corner with their three little children-now James is teaching here at Marshall High, Herbert teaches over at Yancey County, and Gertrude teaches at Brevard! That's some record for all the children to go into the teaching profession. Have you noticed the grass growing in the Rector's yard where the old News Record Office used to be? The Rectors really have green thumbs to get grass to grow there! I didn't thing they would get it to grow beside the house, but it does. Some people just have a knack for growing things, but that isn't one of my talents! Didn't get over for the ball game last night, but don't feel too bad about our loss-we can't win them all and I like our record of three wins and just two losses. I'm proud of James Briggs, Harlan Rice, Jimmy Ponder, Danny Ball and the whole team, and believe that our overall record will be something to be proud of. And I must say that Coach Reeves deserves a big hand, too, for his many extra hours of work with these boys, along with Coach Larry West.

Have a good day! . . - ' HEARD and By All summer long I've been trying to get time for a vacation but things Just didn't work out nearly everybody else took a week off and went somewhere but for some reason there just wasn't the right time for me to take off for a week so last weekend I decided that I could get off from Friday till Monday and that's just what I did "Bill" wanted to visit her sister-in-law, Mrs. Sadie R. White, in Qarkston, Ga., and we also wanted to visit her cousin, the Rev. George White and family, in Stone Mountain, Ga. we left early Friday morning and drove in the rain all the way to Qarkston, about 18 miles from Atlanta to say it was raining is an understatement it simply poured in torrents the an nouncements over radio pointed out the danger of flash floods all over the state of Georgia and it was easy to see why cars even had to pull off on the shoulder of Interstate 85 and wait to con tinue between downpours we spent the night at Sadie's incidentally, she has a nice home in a suburban section of CI arkston needless to say, I was tired of driving in the rain all day and was glad to relax in the comforts of her home being a restless sort of person, however, I insisted that Bill and I drive over to the home of George, Naomi and their two fine daughters they live on Kenilworth Circle just outside the town of Stone Mountain it's the most beautiful pastorium I've ever seen George is pastor of the First Baptist Church of Stone Mountain and also has a most beautiful and progressive church he was conducting a revival in Georgetown, Ky. all last week but was due in Atlanta by plane Saturday evening we visited with his lovely wife and two daughers, Deborah and Diane, and then went back to Qarkston, naturally, while Bill was doing the visiting, I had a hankering to go to the Michigan State-Georgia Tech football game Saturday afternoon but from the looks of the weather Friday night and even Saturday morning, I had just about decided not to go I had no tickets and people told me tickets were scarce as hen's teeth however, I went on in to Atlanta and to Grant Field Then I decided to go to the exclusive Regency Hyatt, the south 's finest, located on Peachtree St., in the heart of Atlanta I walked up to the information desk where a very attractive girl asked if she could help me I told her I was looking for one ticket to the MSU-Geor. Tech game (Bill had decided to visit instead of going to game) she was real cute and I put on all the charm I could muster and as result, she "found" me a ticket on the 40 yard line, lower level perfect I quickly paid her for the ticket and then started praying for the skies to clear sure enough, the clouds rolled by about noon and by 1 p.m., the sun was shining I felt real lucky and good I thourghly enjoyed the game which Tech won, 10-0 in addition to a good game, it was band day and 21 Georgia bands performed in addition to the Tech band I went to my car which was parked about half a mile from the stadium and felt like good fortune had finally struck since the skies cleared, I got a ticket, saw an exciting game, etc. but right there the good fortune left me I finally got on 1-85 North and headed toward Stone Mountain where I was to pick up Bill before going on to Qarkston to spend the night suddently I heard a strange "singing" and disturbing noise, coming from my engine it would get louder and louder the faster I drove if you've ever driven on 1-85 out of Atlanta you know what real fast-moving traffic is especially after a ball game I couldnt drive as slow as I wanted to because the minimum speed is 40 mph when I tried to keep up with the traffic (even on the "slow" right lane) the noise would get louder and louder I even drove on the emergency shoulder but that didn't work it sounded Mallonee To Be Tom L. Mallonee, 11th Congressional District Assistant to Congressman Roy A. Taylor, Is now making scheduled visits to the county seats and other sections of the aunties. v- On Tuesday, Sept 38, be will be at the Madison County Courthouse, Marshall, from If SEEN POP like my engine was going come out and I could picture myself stranded helplessly I finally decided to turn off an exit about 6 miles from downtown Atlanta I drove in to Jeno's service station and fortunately Jeno and his brothers are mechanics, also It was about 5 o'clock and I had told Bill I'd be back before 5:30 where they had planned sup per -Jeno said it was a bearing in the alternator and it was a good thing I stopped when I did he said he had a rebuilt alternator which he installed for $38 it took about an hour to get that fixed and about 6 p.m., I started on to Stone Mountain hadn't entered 1-85 until I noticed the same noise was still there I turned around, rather disgusted, and went back to Jeno's he was real nice and was also real busy he proved to me I did need an alternator but also found that the tall pipe had struck something which had mashed it together and the exhaust couldn't excape that meant a new tail pipe I was getting hungry and I knew the folks were wondering if I was lost I phoned them but no answer I later found out that they had gone to the airport to pick up George Jeno had no tail pipe suitable for a Caprice so he had to send his brother miles for one minutes passed, and hours passed about 7 o'clock his brother returned with a tail pipe and muffler I didn't need a muffler just the tail pipe so he went back to get just a tail pipe anyway, I finally got the car repaired to the tune of $56. had missed supper and had caused George, Naomi and Bill all kinds of anxiety in fact, when I finally arrived at George's after 9 o'clock, he had gone out searching for me he had called every Phillips 66 station bet ween Atlanta and Stone Mountain and had finally found Jeno's they told him I had been gone for about 30 minutes in the meantime, knowing that I had missed a delicious supper, and being starved and tired, I went to a restaruant and enjoyed a steak sandwich before resuming my trip to Stone Mountain when I finally reached Georg's they all came running out to find out what hoi happened In, about 30 mlntuw, George came back from searching for me and we had a good laugh about all my GOOD luck and then about my horrible experience after getting my nerves settled down a bit, I then told them that I was directed into a wrong way to Stone Mountain and had driven about 15 miles on the wrong highway I further told them then when I stopped at another service station to find out the correct route to Stone Moun tain, I was told that one of my head lights was out and I had better drive on dim to keep from bing stopped by a patrolmen that I did and they could hardly believe one person could have had so much tough luck anyway, Bill and I went on back to Qarkston where we spent the night Sunday morning the skies were cloudy but it soon cleared up I took Bill back to Stone Mountain where she attended morning worship at George's church and I took off for Atlanta again where I at tended the Atlanta Falcon-San Francisco 49'ers pro game in Atlanta Stadium Sunday af ternoonI was rewarded for all my bad luck by getting a good seat even though it was ' a complete sell-out I was for tunate to find one fellow who had an extra ticket he sold me The Falcons defeated the 49'ers, 20-17 in the best pro game I've ever seen, there were 56,990 persons at the Stadium but I wouldn't have traded tickets with any of them after the game, I went back to Stone Mountain without any car trouble Bill and I said our farewells to George, Naomi and the girls, then headed home, arriving here about 10 p.m. Sunday night it was all in all, a very enjoyable weekend eo I guess this was my vacation a weekend of pleasure and heartbreaks but it was worth it.

' ' Labor's leaders had been loudest In their demands that the President "do something about in- ';' flatlon." Yet when he did, some of labor's leaders were most vociferous in their objections. Suddenly they realised that with wages and prices frozen, who needs a union leader? That's a scary con sideration even for 90 days. So rather than co-operate, George Meany, with rhetoric reminiscent of the 1930s, accused the Administration of favorins the rich. The least becoming statement came from Auto Workers' President Woodcock who talke of "waging war" on the Administration. A teacher's union leader talked of "raising a war chest with which to defeat Nixon. AnA Harrv RriHoM refused to eno. his longshoremen's strike.

Labor leaders left over from yesteryear remember when Big Business abused its bigness, when Big Business paid slave wages, bought politicians, conspired to restrain competition, locked out rirr hired strike breakers, discriminated against blacks. And these old-timers deserved much of the credit for the child labor laws and the Wagner Labor Act and other legislation which restrained the abused prerogatives of often arbitrary in dustrialist. Now the pendulum has swung the other way. Now it's some of Big Labor's leaders who conspire witn gangsters, pay on politicians, discriminate against blacks, let the garbage pile up, r,tt rnhieo Hnrail trains and use Dhvsical terror to intimidate and demand higher wages and higher dues that beget higher prices for everybody. rroani7H lnhnr reoresents one - force.
