Hie slides she showed and her expert commentary were infor mative and educational. Miss Major, who was formerly associated with the Hot Spr ings health program, captured the attention of the Marshall Lions and her description of the people of Africa and their lifestyles would make a most interesting program for any club or organization. Thanks to Wayne Brigman for the huge turnips he gave me a few days ago... I didn't know how to cook them but "Bill" is the cook at our home nd she knows about such things, fortunately. Mayor Lawrence Ponder and the board of aldermen asked "Bill" and me to attend the Governor's Community of Excellence Banquet in Raleigh last Thursday night which we did and thoroughly enjoyed the oc casion. Over 1,000 persons from throughout North Carolina were present, and Gov. Jim Hunt Jr. presented the certificates to 77 cities, including Marshall. Following a buf fet supper, Gov. Hunt spoke to the officials and guests about his recent trip to Japan and other countries where he encouraged industrialists to locate huge manufacturing plants in North Carolina. He was most opt mistic about future plans for industrial growth in our state. Following his infor mative talk, he congratulated the towns and cities for winning this highest honor for satisfactorily completing all requirements as stipulated by the E&momic Development Divisions of the North Carolina Department at Commerce. It was rfn honor for me to ac cept this certificate from the governor and "Bill" and I appreciate the invitation to do this. It was thrilling to march to the plat form where two television stations were showing the presentation "live" and being applauded by more than 1,000 persons. Even more exciting was when Gov. Hunt spoke several words to me in extending con gratulations to Marshall citizens and of ficials for accomplishing so much during the past few years. "Tell the people up there I am personally proud of what you all are doing," the governor said. After speaking to many friends from other counties, including P.R. Elam of Mars Hill, who represented the Asheville Chamber of Commerce, "Bill" and I spent the night at the huge and magnificient Mission Valley Inn near McKimmon Center where the banquet was held. We decided to stay over for the N.C. State-Duke football game at Duke Saturday and enjoyed it very much. It was a most pleasant weekend, thanks to Lawrence and the aldermen, and the beautiful weather. Harold Reid is deer hunting this week, and I surely do miss him, but I know he is having a great time.

Letter To The Editor CAMBODIANS Editor The News-Record; As we brace ourselves for our annual Thanksgiving feast, the faces of starving Cambodians stare vacantly at us from the pages of our daily newspapers, offering a painful contrast to our holiday preparations. In what has been termed the Auschwitz of Asia, the con demned people of Cambodia march slowly but certainly down the path to extinction. More than a third of the population of this tranquil land has already perished from the effects of war, repression and disease. As many as two million more are on the verge of death by star vation. Two hundred and fifty thousand refugees are camped along the western provinces of the country, waiting for a chance to cross the border. Their numbers in crease daily. We are witness ing genocide in our time. As always, it is the children who suffer the most. Large numbers of the country's under-flve population have alteady died. Many of those who survive do so with perma nent brain damage and bone deformation due to malnutri tion. Even those settled in refugee camps are easy prey to the effects of malaria, Through a joint effort of the international Save the Children Alliance, Save the Children (United States) can now privide these desperate refugees with food, medicine and health care. A pediatric medical team it battling to Kampong Som. Yet the need seems unending. The year 1979 has been a series of tragedies, beginning with the plight of the boat peo ple, befall the peoples of Southeast Asia. Spiraling in flation or projected recession here in America sometimes blurs our view of how blessed we really are. At this time for giving thanks, I ask you to consider extending a hand to those who, quite literally, have nothing. Any contribu tion, no matter how small, can help save the children of Cam bodia.
