i Heard And Seen?
BY POP
Work is still continuing on the post office
here but most of it is completed the
planting of the three maple trees, plus
shrubbery on the parking area has further
improved the appearance. .. inspectors
were here last Friday and seemed to ap
prove everything except for a few minor
changes I'm going to miss seeing Bob
Garrison and his crew working across from
the office here when they leave.... all the
fellows have been real friendly and have
done a fine job ... here's hoping the public
will be considerate of others when parking in
the lot to get their mail and not park too long
at a time.
The press box at the stadium last Friday
night was a busy place... two radiomen from
Sylva telephoned a play-by-play account of
the game; the Sylva Herald has a sports
reporter here, and these added to the usual
presence of an official timer and scoreboard
operator; Jerry Plemmons, statiscian; and
yours truly at PA announcer, plus others,
filled the pressbox... I was assisted by Tim
Wilde, a member of the team who was on the
sick list unable to play who did a fine job as
spotter ... Tim is a fine young fellow, a good
football palyer, who sAd he enjoyed working
in the pressbox but missed being on the field
playing I also appreciate the new 10-yard
markers with their red "sails" which makes
it much easier to follow the progress of the
ball on downs I thank Bruce Phillips and
the others responsible for this improvement.
The future looks very good for football,
with the Madison freshmen showing a fine
team and the Marshall Moonshiners also
being an exciting and well-coached team
mark my word, some day the opponents had
better watch out because when these
youngsters get older, Madison will be heard
from.... just you wait and see.
Moonshiners homecoming ceremonies
were very impressive last Saturday night
prior to the football game between the
Moonshiners and the East Yancey Pan
thers all the girls, students of the sixth,
seventh, and eighth grades at Marshall,
were real pretty in their long dresses....
congratulations to Kenni Rice, the 1977
Homecoming Queen I could hardly
believe that Mrs. Robert Blackwell is the
mother of Lisa Blackwell, a member of the
court.... she looks much more like a sister
!
than a mother ... both are very pretty.... also
congratulations to the Moonshiners on
defeating the Panthers, 14-0.
I appreciate what T-Sgt. John Grindstaff
of Route 1, Mars Hill, said about The News
Record and how much he has enjoyed it
while at England AFB, La.... Judy, his at
tractive wife, also was most complimentary
about the paper.... it always makes us feel
better to have someone brag on the paper....
he said he never failed reading this column
and in fact, he said he read every word in it
every week.

WNC Trappers
Meet Oct. 15
At Swannanoa
Several hundred trappers
and their families will meet at
Bee Tree Lake near Swan
nanoa on Oct. 15-16 when the
North Carolina Fur Takers
holds it first western con
vention.
Trappers from North
Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Tennessee and
Virginia have been invited to
attend, and representatives
from all five states are ex
pected.
The meeting will be called to
order after lunch on Oct. 15 by
Tonnie Davis, president, from
Climax. The group is expected
to depart after lunch on Oct. 16.
Don Rouanzion of Asheville,
western vice president, is
hosting the convention. ..
Law enforcement pffjcials
from the N. C. Wildlife
Resources Commission will
attend and discuss recent
changes in trapping laws and
seasons, and research
biologists from the com
mission will explain their
finding of rabies in imported
raccoon and the steps the
commission has taken to
prevent this from happening in
the future.
Experts in this field will
demonstrate and explain how
they take bobcat, mink,
muskrat and other furbearing
animals.
A trap-setting contest will be
held for adult men, adult
women, 12 to 16 year-old boys,
12 to 16-year-old girls, 7 to 11
year-old-boys, 7 to 11-year-old
girls, 2 to 6-year-old boys, and 2
to 6-year-old girls. A prize will
be awarded to the participant
from each age group who sets
an assortment of traps in the
quickest time. Prizes will also
be awarded to three persons
who bring in the most new
members.
One or more trapping supply
dealers will attend to display
trapping supplies and offer
them for sale.
All persons interested in
trapping and wildlife con
servation are invited to attend.
ECONOMY
Would the Administra
tion's proposed Crude Oil
Equalization Tax (COET),
which would be added to the
price of controlled domestic
crude oil, encourage increased
domestic production?
I 1 MM
No, the tax itself would
not encourage any increased
exploration or production.
But because COET is a move
in the direction of realistic
crude oil pricing, it could be a
first step towards eventual de
control. As currently pro
posed, the tax revenues
would go into government
coffers for consumer rebates
and funding other federal
programs. If a portion of the
revenues generated by COET
was returned to producers as
a "plowback" credit, it would
encourage investments to find
and produce additional
energy supplies.
