" H. L. STORY, Owner and Publisher J. I. STORY, Managing Editor SUBSCRIPTION RA TES 15 Months - - 3.00 One Year $2.50 Bight Months - 2.00 Six Months ?l-60 Four Months $1.00 EDITORIAL PARK VOTE DELAYED i The town officials have in their hands petitions, re questing a bond election so that the Marshall Recreation Park can be "finished up." However, due to the primary election which, is to be held this year,"it will be impossible to call the bond election . possibly before August. There are certain laws which state that a special bond election cannot be held within so many days from another elec tion. Although several Marshall men, especially Dr. H. E. Bolinger, have worked, hard to get tKe necessary names signed on the petitions, the petitions did not have enough qualified names to call such an election until a few days ago. We are optimistic, however, that thte Marshall citizens who have signed the petitions requesting an election will someday see a completed recreation park and community building. , It wouJd be a shame and disgrace if the public would not overwhelmingly approve the bond issue. The $50v000 park lacks only about $20,000 more to assure a floor, even suitable for skating for the communi ty building, an all-weather road, outdoor games, picnic tables,-etc. An investment of $50,000 is standing idly on the hill, save for the swimming pool during the summer months. Are We willing to stop where it is? Has anyone been "'hart" by the first-$50,000 bond issue? In addition to various social functions and recreation al programs, a finished community building could easily :pe the --answer to the crying need for a suitable meeting -plafceifor the Boy Scouts and Gjrl Scouts of "Marshall and uSciirity. Families could-picnic at the park; without having t drie to Asheville or some other place. Church socials could beheld at the park. A completed park and commu nity building would-be the answer to many of our prob lems for both young and old. Let's keep this in mind, and when the election is called, let's vote in favor of the bond issue atfet in doing so, assure Marshall "of a year-around recreational program and a fine place to get together and .be better friends and neighbors. oOo JA SHORTAGE YOU CAN HELP CORRECT Perhaps the subscribers of this newspaper are grow ing a bit tired of reading an editorial concerning the March of Dimer drive in every issue during January,. but -we feel that the need for funds to combat polio cannot be overem phasized. The response to th appeals h been jmofit grat ifying thus far in the drive and it is hoped thatjfche people of , our county will continue to respond to this growing and 1 urgent need. "Early, indications, according to drive of ficials, point -to a successful campaign in Madison County. -We 'feel sure that our citizens realize that there is always 1 something we can-view with alarm. But it isn't every day that we are given the opportunity' to go into immediate ac tion about it. . v We may very well view with alarm a statement from the National Foundation for Infanfil Paralysis that Amer ica is short many thousands of physical therapists and oth er experts hvthe care of polio patients and persons stricken with body disabilities. The shortage of these workers, the National Founda tion says, is "almost unbelievable." There is not one quali fied physical therapist per hospital in the United States! Because polio isn't licked yet, this is a warning of con cern to every parent in America. Fortunately, we can do something about it. The March of Dimes recruits and trains specialists in repairing the ravages of polio. We can all tackle this dangerous short age now by giving to the March of Dimes. Money-Mad A caddy working at a swanky golf club in Los Angeles tells .this one. Recently he ' was standing peacefully on the course when sud denly the tycoon for whom he was laboring blazed away at him from out of' the depths of alarge sand trap. "What in tarnation am I doing hem, anyway?" he yelled. "I don't bay to do this sort of thing. I'm a wealthy man." Recognized henpecked plumber had re ceived an emergency call from the Smith residence. In answer to his ring, both Smith and his wife met him at the door. Smith was a very methodical man, so at one said to the plumber "Now before you go up to the bathroom, I wish to acquaint you with my trouble." The plumber pulled off his cap, blushed shyly, and holding out his hand to Mrs. Smith said, "Pleased to meet yer, ma'am." t In' addition ?to of ferine-, the best in " CDRY CLEANING SERYfCEv , -t . tn w.. i Ws Can " ' ih -4- CI N A RE-BLOCK.

In the case of dogs, he had a word of advice which he would like to pass on. ' -: The smartest dogs, he .'Wrote,-are those who have the benefit of hu? man companionship and who" are al- lowed to associate with humans or the family to which they belong, c i,' There are bileeds whfch train bet ter than others, and there are breeds which are smart in different waya lrom other breeds. However, a dog docs not have to be a pedigreed an imal to be smart. Experts say that many of the smartest dogs are not pedigreed animals. The best advice then, if you would have a smart dog, is to give him chance to associate with the family. .a rge One)" i per e e yield auffers much moia from 1 -Jc of moisture tha to bacco treated in ench a manner as to yield only 1,600 pounds per acre vnder good (condition, ' ' Many farmers have a new tool in irrigation and,, don't know how to una it t best advantage..

We receive an average of only 37.57 inches of precipitation per year.

He takes the chance of getting his former tempo iiary grade back. Whether he does or not depends upon the need for his skill. Then, under the new poli cy, he can expect no higher than a permanent grade of Airman First Class. Finally, he will lose credit for previous, time in grade, since his rank will date from enlistment. In addition, the man with a break in service loses out on the lucrative re enlistment bonus and some of the assignment-of-choice benefits afford ed an immediate re-enlistee. New rules more clearly reward the man who re-enlists within the short er period.
