mw- , ? ?? I ? Heard And Seen ? t So far as I can remember Madison County or any of its citizens haw never > ben featured in Life magazine. That is until the latest issue of the nationally read magazine. In this issue, Sandy List received an outstanding honor by being featured in several pages and our county congratulated for its care for the elderly through the Marshall-Walnut Medical Center which is under the direction of the Hot Springs health program. It is always a pleasure to . read something "good" about our county, j: Congratulations to Sandy and the staff for the fine work they are doing. Also congratulations to Life magazine for publishing this feature. More about the : article elsewhere in this issue. Qlsd to see T&image Mciiwn ^ to be j: out again after a battle with pneumonia... many local citizens have been suffering from some sorts vims making the rounds... this mixture of warm weather, cold ' weather, rain, sunshine is conducive to illness. During the absence of Alan Anderson, I : "covered" the football game last Friday at . the local stadium and enjoyed being in the 'press box with "the fellows"... Jerry Plemmons, Calvin Rhinehart, Roger Haynie, Roy Reeves and Alex Farkas and I had a fine time although the Patriots lost the game in overtime, 7-0... needless to say, we were chilled and shivering as were all the fans, but it was "warmer" in the press box than sitting outside. Before the game I enjoyed visiting the Patriot dressing room and talking with the players and coaches. With one game remaining (with the Hen dersonville Bearcats) Friday night, at tention will be going to basketball in the inear future. Here's hoping for a winning season. Honesty There are still honest people around here as I learned last Friday. Junior Wyatt, who lives on the Marshall bypass, found a billfold containing about $300. Instead of keeping the money and saying nothing about finding the billfold, Junior returned the billfold and mooey to Sheriff Ponder last Friday and the sheriff returned it to its owner, Geter Ramsey of the Walnut community. I congratulate Junior on his honesty and I'm sure Geter does, too. ALilpfrExtra I often eat up at Mary's Restaurant and enjoy it., in addition to the good food, Mary sometimes does a little extra. For instance, a few nights ago she brought me a dish of delicious banana pudding and a few nights later, she brought me a dish of turnips... I surely appreciate these little extra favors, Mary. ' ?- . . Governor Announces Children's Book Week "Every Kid with a Card" is the theme for "Children's Book Week in North Carolina" next week, laun ching a statewide effort to get cUldnn to urge their friends to register for library cards.

The residents UmUmi County Sheriff E.Y. Ponder, who came to get Brown. Sheriff Ponder was able, with the help of Buncombe County officials, to track down the two women near their home at 141 Brickyard Ave. They had run out of gas halfway to town and abandoned the car, along with Brown's clothes and wallet. The testimony of JCathy Moaa and Louise Sprouse differed in several important points. They said that Brown had driven them to the remote spot against their will, parts, forced Kathy Moss to get ut of the car and ordered her to disrobe. Kathy Moas, who testified after Brown, said that she had been compelled to draw her gun from her pocket in order to defend herself ? that Brown was holding a knife at her throat. She then said that she had forced Brown to strip, ana mat orown naa men put the handcuffs on himself. After a court recess, Kathy Moss changed her story on cross-examination to say that Brown had not put the han dcuffs on, that Louise Sprouse had done it at Brown's request. She also said that she always carried a knife, and that she was carrying the loaded pistol of the man who lives with her mother, but that she never intended to hurt anyone with either . In other court business, Larry Allen Taylor was given a one-to-three-year suspended sentence and fined $500 and court cots for burglarizing the Clouse house in White Rock. Also Douglas Presnell pleaded guilty to robbing the house of Mars Hill Port master A.W. Huff on Jan. IS, ? 197V. Huff testified that, between the time he left hom^ after dinner around i p.m. and returned from work after 5 p.m., someone bad broken into his home and stolen five guns, including an antique M.C. Smith 20-gauge shotgun valued at >900. Presnell had earlier installed some tile on the floor of Huff's house, presumably seeing the guns, ' which were in full view in their case. Jennings Shook, who is accused of Joining Presnell in the robbery and whose fingerprints Sheriff Ponder found on the guns, did not appear for trial.

Sandy List Health Education Center in Asheville for tlx month* of training and internship as a nurse practitioner, under Dr. Robin Blake. For the last five years she has worked as a full-time nurse practitioner. Hie patient load in the county has increased so much that she doesn't have time to travel anymore, seeing her patients. Recently, Sandy has decided to limit her Job to four days a week, partly because there is so much work to do on their own farm and partly because she and Eddie have taken on a new responsibility: the care of Eddie's 25- year-old brother Mark, who is retarded. "Fortunately," said Sandy, "Mark is going to the Handi School in Mars Hill, which is very good for him. for the first time he is able to have real friends ? people he can talk with and do things with. And he is doing piecework for Micro Switch there so he actually gets a paycheck each week. It's small, but it makes him Jed tkat he has some importance. It's a terrific program." Sandy also says that there may be changes in store for her and other nurse prac titioners before many years have passed. Hie number of graduates from the nation's medical schools has risen considerably lately, so that the doctor shortage of ten years back is gradually being filled. If, as expected, this shortage continues to vanish, it is likely that nurse prac titioners like Sandy will also gradually disappear.
