Gov. Scott came into Madison County made public speeches at the Marshall High School, Hot Springs and Spring Creek High Schools and contracted verbally with the voters of Madison County assuring us that the following road would be built by the North Carolina Highway Commission provided we voted for a $900,000.00 School bond issue to consolidate into one central high school. The roads committed by Gov. Bob Scott and the N. C. Highway Commission were Weaverville to Marshall four lanes $11,000,000.00, N. C. 213 from 19-23 to Marshall $6,000,000 00, N.

My point here is we in Madison might be dumb but we are not stupid and we want Holshouser and Dr. Wayne Montgomery to know that Holshouser is not governor for seven years and that Dr. Montgomery has not con vinced anybody in Madison For Marshall Board of Aldermen Vote For kv x 1 1- i:-: -'fx 4- Working Together WITH YOU For A.

We are completely out of water and Mr. Joe Fisher and Bobby Pegg brought the truck and filled our reservoirs. I understand they have done this for several families this summer. We shall never forget this service and think they deserve more credit than they get. Sincerely -s- Anna Mae Tipton Wagon Train Trip Enjoyed Last Week-end The Marshall Wagon Train Club enjoyed a trail ride and camp out last Saturday and Sunday beginning at Henry TreaQways and camping out at Palmers Ford at Jupiter. Those enjoying the trip were: Henry Tread way, wagon master, Ray Crowe, Bruce Treadway and sons, Tommy and Scott, Bert Flynn, Ray Flynn, Rodney Flynn, Garrison Payne, Kenneth Gosnell, Tommy Candler, Jimmy Thomas, Eddie Reed, Clyde Israel, Jap Johnson, Ray Caldwell, Spud Smith, Randy Jones, Junior Jones, Benny Hudson, Kenneth Bailey and Blaine Garren. The train was made up of nine wagons and several horse back riders. Jim Cody Ed Niles James Penland State Indicates Region, B Will Soon Get BROiStatus The Region B Planning and Economic Development Commission may soon be designated the Lead Regional Organization for its four county area. Robert E. Shepherd, the new Region B executive director, told the commission at its regular meeting in Skyland Village Hall that conversions with state of ficials indicated Region B could b LRO by mid November. Tom Earnhardt, assistant to Secretary of Administration William Bondurant, who would grant the designation, said today that Bondurant was awaiting a meeting with the governor before making his final decision. "As far as we're con cerned," he said, "I think we'll be in a position very soon to make an announcement, and we think it will be an affirmative announcement. The LRO designation is necessary for Region B to be the channel for federal planning money and properly perform its planning functions for Buncombe, Madison, Henderson and Transylvania counties, which make up the Region B planning area. Shepherd said Bondurant had three conditions for granting LRO status; an adequate staff, an agreement of some kind with the Metropolitan Planning Board, which presently has control of some regional federal funds, and "A spirit of regional cooperation among the four counties." Shepherd said he is con ducting interviews this week with applicants for the staff, positions of planner, com munity development specialist and social research assistant, and that he had several who were qualified. The commission also voted to approve a letter of intent to work with MPB to William A. V. Cecil, MPB chairman. The letter states that Region B would "like to execute an agreement as soon as possible" with MPB. Another recent worry for Region B has been the decision of Buncombe County ofAdaht that the county is not officially a member in the absence of what they consider an appropriate resolution by the Board of County Com missioners. The four counties and their municipalities make up the commission's mem bership. But Chairman R. Curtis Ratcliff of the Board of Commissioners said today he feels he "could propose at the next (board) meeting that Buncombe County rejoin" Region B. The commissioners meet Nov. 6, and Ratcliff said he could also support a resolution, in agreement with the City of Asheville, allowing MPB to sign a contract with Region B. Madison County still has a suit pending in Wake County Superior Court against the state, asking that LRO status be granted or cause shown why it could not be, but Zeno Ponder read a statement signed by James T. Ledford, chairman of the Madison County Board of Com missioners, which said in part: "We as a board, true to our oath of office, will be most happy to cooperate with the Department of Administration in terminating the lawsuit providing the citizens of Additions At There have been additions to the Reference Department of the Madison County Public Library.

Fund Started In Memory Of Mars Hill Co -Ed MARS HILL - A scholarship fund is in the process of being established in memory of Sally Bell Moffitt, the Mars Hill College co-ed whose mysterious death still has officials puzzled. Family members and school officials stated that the scholarship is in the planning stages now and details on how the fund will be used will be available this month. Anyone Needlepoint In Library Windows Here The Madison County Public Library has a collection of needlepoint pieces on display in the window. All of the work in this window was done by Mrs. Estelle Whitaker of Mars Hill. Items displayed are: five chairs, four stools, a fireside bench and a vanity bench, three pictures (one on Austrian antique print with petti-point), one two large cushions, a pocketbook and Consumer SconoA 1 I I Abandoned tefrigrators-Tot 'Trips An unused or abandoned refrigerator or freezer can be a serious even fatal nazara to children. A child doesn't know a re frigerator is constructed air tight to preserve food. He climbs inside to play "hide and seek." or because he thinks he will escape sum mer's heat, and death from suffocation can come within 25 to 30 minutes. Over the last five years, more than 80 children nationwide-most aged three to six -have died as a result of be coming entrapped in stored or abandoned refrigerators. The problem is not con fined just to old units sitting in the weeds in some vacant lot or junkyard. Even more accessible and thus mora likely to be fatal -are the ones in storage or limited use in garages and basements. Modern refrigerators and freezers are designed to be pushed open from the inside with very little force being exerted. But the older mod els, and there are literally millions around, have doors that latch securely and can not be opened from the in side. It's obviously not just a case of telling kida to "stay away from that old refrigerator. The old appliance represent such tempting play areas -impregnable forts and mat "jails' in which to lock up "outlaw" playmate. What can be done about the ever-present problem of re frigerator entrapment? Lee Roy wishing to contribute to the scholarship fund may do so through the Development Office at Mars Hill College. The campus is empty this week as Fall Break, scheduled to start this Wednesday, began following a memorial to the High Point sophomore Monday afternoon. Authorities are still probing the mystery surrounding the student's death. three mats. All these pieces are in her home. She has made and given away to friends and relatives: two mirror-back chairs, one chair, one chair cover 20x20 seat, two sets of dining room chairs, Vi doz. table mats, a four mat set, six pictures, two big pillows, one firesideench and one antique footstool. Could anyone guess the number of needlepoint stitches this lady has done? " nKDrwnl 1 J -11 u n rr" Engineers at General Elec tric Company's Appliance Park in Louisville, Kentucky, point out that a few simple precautions are all that is really needed to keep an old refrigerator from becoming a deathtrap. For one thing, it's against the law in many communities to discard an old refrigerator or freezer without first re moving the door. It's against common sense in any com munity. And this means re moving the door right away not an hour or a week later. It only takes a few minutes for a child to climb in and suffocate. If you plan to keep an old model, but not use it right away, you can remove the door, or tie a sturdy rope around it with the knot at toe back and push the unit up against the wall. Even better is to get a chain and pad lock from the hardware store The man of the house can in stall this child-saving device for just a few dollars and a few minutes of his time. Other ways to combat the problem which is always at its peak during the summer month include mobilizing civic groups to go in search oil abandoned units and to re move their doors, or report ing to authorities anyone who keep such hazard on prop erty accessible to small chil dren. Children and old refriger ators with a little effort they don't have to be a fatal combination. Griffin i i County Gets 10,237.73 ' " ; ' v V i ) v ' From National Forept Forest Supervisor, Del W. Ibarsen said today that 24 counties in North Carolina will 1 receive a total of 2S2,693 as their share of receipts on tha ' National Forest operation in ' the State during the past fiscal : year which ended June 90. National receipts to the counties last year totaled $234,781. The amount going to each county is based on the number of acres of National Forest land within the county. Federal law calls for 25 percent of the receipts to go back to the counties for use on schools and roads. Thorsen said the money going to the counties average 22 cents per acre, based on the number of acre of National Forest land in the State. Timber harvesting by private operators accounts for by Adrian C. Scott Someone asked me the other day precise!) what I meant by the word "Freedom". You know, that's iuch ati easy thing to talk about and so hard to define that I thought I'd better get around to defining some terms. The con- versation which brought the question up was my assertion that taxation is not only taking away my buying power, it's also taking away my freedom. Of course, the person to whom 1 was telling this thought that I meant that Government (hereafter called FedGov) was using my tax-dollars to take away my freedom, which is precisely correct but not the complete story. Freedom is. at least in large part and particularly in the USA. MONEY. Did you ever think of it that way? Here's what I mean. My wallet's pretty thick right now. it being the day after pay-day and my creditors not having caught up with me yet. Suppose I don't like the TV Dinners I've been cooking for myself? I'm free to go out and eat anywhere I choose. The weather is neither a grey day nor a Grade A day. If I want some sunshine. I can hop a plane to Florida. I don t like my old blue shirt? 1 can so out and buv a natty pink one. In short, so long as my wallet's full I havai rtsa smni.at At rwal mi, a a aivai aaiavun n ivai nan tne money in my wallet. Now i can still eat out but not anywhere. maybe Howard Johnson s. The weather s still pretty dull but I can still make it to Virginia on what I have. Take a bit more out of my wallet and have a choice of eating at home or maybe trying the Orange Room at Nedick s end. if I still don t l.ke the weather. I can cut out for Atlantic City. Now, take away my last dollar. Leave me nothing but the peanut-butter sandwicn change in my pocket and you've really taken away the last of my freedom. Whether I like it or not. I'm eating at home and putting up with the weather and the clothes on my back. Finally take away the change in my pocket. Now what? Now I can't even afford to eat at home nor even pay the rent to live there. Now I'm broke. I'm utterly dependent on either charity or what FedGov has to offer me. If they suggest that I live where they want me to, what can I do? If they provide food 1 don't like, do I have a choice? No, Sir. when you took away my money you also took away my freedom of choice, my Freedom! Now, let's get down to cases. I'm making more "money" now than I ever did in my life but the nione b Pharmacy Comments FDA Vitamin Thousands of followers of Dr. Linus Pauling and Adele Davis, two of the nation's foremost experts on nutrition, are up-in-arms over the recent FDA decries to restrict vitamin and min eral packaging and sales.
