The County ASC Committee has

County for the Wheat Referendum to
be held Saturday. To be eligible to
vote, the ptafiuc(r must plan to
plant in excess of the 15 acres min

acreage in recent years, it is doubt

have a single eligible voter; however,
in releasing this announcement,
Ralph W. Ramsey, County ASC office
manager, states that the polls would

Operation In County
One Year Ago
After one year of successful and
progressive operation, the Hammar
lund Manufacturing Co., Inc., will
observe its first anniversary at Mars
Hill Saturday with open house. The
doors of the spic-and-span electron
ics plant will be open to the public
between the hours of 3 and 5 o'clock.
The first anniversary observance
will actually begin on Friday when
the employees will be paid their sal
aries in shiny silver dollars. This
unique method of paying off in sil
ver doll are is the first time this has
ever been done in Madison County
history. The employees are eagerly
waiting the "silver shower" come
Friday.
Saturday, however, will be the
"public's day" as hundreds will tour
the attractive plant and see first
hand just how and what the 150
employees are doing. They will be
amazed at the various "steps" of
assembling until the finished product
is ready for shipment.
