Should Food Be Cheap?
With all the talk about high prices, it may seem
foolish to ask if food should be cheap The answer is
not as obvious as it may seem. It depends on what we
mean by cheap.
If by cheap, we mean that food should be produced
and marketed as efficiently as possible and sold at
the lowest price that will yield a reasonable profit
for producers and marketing firm, then food should
be cheap.
If, on the other hand, by the word cheap we mean
that everyone in the food industry should operate at
a loss so that everyone else can afford to buy T-bone
steaks, then why should food be that cheap?
Food is essential to life, but so is clothing and
shelter in most areas of the world. In a society such
as ours, one might argue that transportation is also
essential. However, style changes in clothes make
costly wardrobes outdated long before they are worn
out. And certainly not everyone can afford tailor
made suits and original design gowns. Neither can
everyone afford an expensive house on a hill
surrounded by five acres of landscaped scenery, or a
large super-deluxe automobile.
Society does not seem concerned about these
"problems." It reasons that not everyone should
necessarily be able to afford a luxury car, wear
expensive clothing, or live in a mansion As long as
the essential needs of the not-so-rich are met, society
is satisfied.
But when it comes to food, values are different. If
the price of steak goes up, there is a cry that poor
people are going to starve. Everyone seems to be
entitled to eat steaks and chops, and if they can't, it
is. a "national disgrace "
Maybe everyone should be able to eat steak. But if
they should, shouldn't they also be able to have
expensive clothes, houses and cars?
It is not the value system that is questionable, it is
the inconsistency of values that appears to be
questionable

Mr. Jim "Pop" Story
Editor
Marshal NEWS-RECORD
Marshall, N C. 28753
Dear "Pop":
May I take this opportunity
on behalf of the employees,
the management and the
stockholders of Shadow line,
Incorporated to express our
sincere thanks and ap
preciation for all the fine
efforts and cooperation you
and your paper rendered to us.
Your distribution of
publicity, when we were
planning and making our
initial labor survey of Madison
County and the surrounding
area, made that undertaking
successful.
So the seed was planted that
bore the fruits of the location,
construction and, finally, the
opening of our new, modern
plant in Mars Hill.
Your latest contribution in
announcing the actual opening
of this plant on July 9, 1973 is
truly appreciated. I am
certain that you must join us
at Shadow line in deriving a
great sense of personal
satisfaction in seeing a
beginning plan become a
reality. Yes, you were present
and participated at the very
outset.
If my memory serves me
correctly, I recall that you

Bob Terrell Is Guest
Speaker At Book Club
Bob Terrell of Asheville was
guest speaker at the Marshall
Book Club's annual picnic
meeting held Monday
evening, July 16th, at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard
Baker. He was introduced by
Mrs. James Story, program
leader.
While a youngster in Sylva
where he was born, Terrell
gave thought to becoming a
gospel singer, but he could
also write and he chose to
become a writer. Following
graduation from Western
Carolina University he took a
job on The Asheville Citizen
and is now associate editor of
the Citizen-Times. His daily
column is read by thousands
in his native North Carolina
and beyond, and it is Terrell
upon whom the Citizen calls to
cover the activities of the
area's No. 1 resident, Billy
Graham.
A close follower of gospel
music through the years it
the Editor
stated, "I hope you people are
serious in your intentions. The
people of Madison are tired
and frustrated from continual
surveys by industry with no
results." At that time, Mr.
Jim Field and I assured you
that not only were our in
tentions but our motives were
absolutely sincere.
So, on the first Monday of
July, 1972 Shadow line, In
corporated accepted the
responsibility of joining the
communities of Mars Hill and
Madison County as a cor
porate citizen. 1
Speaking on behalf of Mr.
Salsbury, the President of
Shadowline, Incorporated,
this responsibility is accepted
and we will make every effort
to live up to the expectations
of the people of Mars Hill and
Madison County.
May I add that Mr. Thomas
Stuping, the Plant Manager of
the Mars Hill plant, will
continue to need the support of
the people and leaders of Mars
Hill, Madison County and the
surrounding area, as well as
your paper, in recruiting and
hiring qualified people to
accomplish our systematic
plan for controlled consistent
program of employment,
training and growth of the
work force.
Again, thank you for your
many considerations.;
I remain with warmest
personal regards
Sincerely,

was only natural that Terrell's
first job of book-writing should
be about gospel music. The
book authored by Terrell is
titled "J. D. Sumner ..Gospel
Music is My Life," which he
discussed at the Book Club
meeting. He told of how the
book was written in five days'
time after talking with Mr.
Sumner and several days of
recording sessions. "J D.
Sumner" was born in
Lakeland, Fla. and has
devoted almost his whole life
to singing gospel songs. The
book is a good history of the
development of this form of
entertainment in the U S
Sumner had his ups-and-downs
as a professional singer
and his really big-time career
began in 1954 when lie joined
the Blackwood Brothers
Quartet, with whom he
remained fro 11 years He is
now with the Stamps Quartet
Terrell said writing the book
"was an easy task. The man is
humorous, talented, human
and professional beyond
belief."
Terrell is presently involved
in writing 5 books which in
clude a book to appear next
spring containing a collection
of his funnier columns.

meeting were Dr. and Mrs J

Regionalism Echoes
By BILLY PRITCHARD
Citizen Stuff Writer
"I've gotten a real kick out
of this thing," the lone female
representative on the 16
member Region B Planning
and Development Commission
said Wednesday of last week.
Mayor Edith C. Osborne of
Rosman made her comments
at the close of Region B's July
meeting in Skyland Village
Hall, where the conunission's
male members "got a lot of
things off their chests."
The regional unit, made up
of elected officials of different
political and other per
suasions from 16 county, city
and town councils in the four
county region of Buncombe,
Madison, Henderson and
Transylvania, had become
bogged down last week.
Mrs. Osborne's comments
at the close of the meeting
Wednesday seemed to sum up
the new conciliatory mood of
the commission
Tlie mayor said she was
amused lj the all-male
squawking "because e ladies
are always accused of linding
