' imeard And Seen By POP As usual, the installation of the Mar shall officers for the ensuing year was an enjoyable occasion last Thursday night at The Peddler Steak House on Tunnel Road. It was a hot night and many of the Lions sh ed their coats so they could enjoy the delicious steaks more. Annually, this is also Ladies' Night and about 30 Lions and Lionesses were present. Following the din ner, Lion Jerry Plemmons, who has served in almost every capacity both local and district, used good judgment in making the installation services brief. Instead of the usual individual taking of oaths, and a speech by some VIP, Jerry recognized the new officers, called for old and new business, and adjourned the meeting. This met with the approval of all present. Last Saturday was a scorcher with temperatures well in the 90's. Nevertheless, several vendors withstood the heat and re mained at the flea market on back street until up in the afternoon. There were fewer vendors and fewer customers than heretofore, but the weather was just too hot and sultry for any outdoor activities. Maybe, when the weather gets more com fortable, the attendance at the flea market will increase. CHRISTMAS PAGEANT? Several per sons who have moved to Madison County in the past two years have mentioned the Mar shall Christmas Pageant, which was na tionally publicized a few years ago. This writer has told some of the inquirers the past history of the pageant and many of them would like to see the live pageant revived. It's hard to explain why the pageant was halted since it was the best publicity the town has ever received. The impressive pageant should be revived, if possible. A great deal of hard work has gone into the production in past years and it is hoped that those who have worked so hard to make it an outgtaAding event will once again start action for the pageant this year. If the pageant is to be revived, it is time now to start planning. Many people talk about beautiful drives, such as the Parkway, and yet some , , ' df them don't realize how beautiful the drive is along the French Broad River between Marshall and AshevilJe. Since much im provement has been made in recent years there are few more beautiful drives than travelling along US 25-70 with the highway, river, and railroad offering motorists the beauties of this 20-mile stretch. The picnic area near the Madison-Bundbmbe county line is a great asset to both counties and is growing more popular all the time.
