't f i " -1 ' The 1967 football season is ov er but the memories of the Mar shall High School Red Tornadoes will linger on for years. The past season has, to say the least, been most successful, thrilling and exciting. The team has giv en Marshall more good publicity for the past three months than anything else. Not only are the ardent football fans of Marshall and Madison County proud of the Tornadoes, but sports writers and fans throughout North Carolina have followed the team as . it chalked up 12 victories before losing to a great Metane team in the semi-finale of the State Class A Playoffs last Friday night Although outmanned by one of the greatest teams in North. Caro lina history, the lighter Tornadoes nevertheless, went, down In ' He feat in. glorious style on a water- soaiced field in dnvinerain. The .TojrJWioesneveiipjJo the fact that Mebane proved the superior team last Friday , night. Even after -costly fumbles, in the second half had proven fatal, "and Ronnie Hensleyn one of the finest halfbacks in "Marshall's history, was injured and rushed to a bos pital the Tornadoes continued their fighting spirit and with de feat evident, Coach Barnwell call ed on many substitutes in the closing minutes giving them t chance to see action in the semi finals. ' Mebane had defeated the Torn adoes 25-0, but the fans ran unto the muddy field to congratulate the players on their fine sport- manship and courage. They hadn't xorgotten the 12 previous victories which had given the Tornadoes a chance for a State Championship. Fans were quick to congratulate Coach Howard Barnwell If or his tremendous job accomplished with just 24 boys. They' likewise con gratulated - Assistant, Coach . Roy Reeves, who has' done m magnifi cent job of scouting throughout .ibe, season., as well -a 'assisting uoacb Barnwell. ' - , - KunworK an , a never- failing desire to win have been the leading factors in the Torna does' success. Although there have been outstanding offensive and defensive players throughout the season, the 1957 edition of the Red Tornadoes will go down in history as a unit with great teamwork. It would be unfair to the rest of the players to name any particular "star." In . fact. every, .member of the squad has been a "star." On the squad were nine seniors who will be sorely missed next season. Such players as Bruce Baldwin,... Jimmy Eads, EIm Smith, Johnny Henderson, Buck Freeman, Charles Ball, Rocky Bowman, Barry Marler and Wayne Clark will be hard to re place. However, several of this year's varsity will be ready when the , 1968 season arrives..'

' Tobacco farmers are required by law to return their marketing cards to the local ASC office at the close of the marketing season, according to Ralph W. Ramsey, office manager, Madison County ASC. Failure to return market ing cards constitutes a violation of the marketing quota regula tions for which allotments for the following year will be reduced. Last year 185 producers in North Carolina had their 1957 allotments reduced for failure to return Marketing cards andor for other violations. These neg ligent farmers, compared with the 163,076 tobacco and peanut farmers in the state, are just a drop, in the bucket. However, failure to return these cards def initely hurts the farmers whose allotments are reduced and it slows up the work in the county ASC office considerably. .Mr. Ramsey stated that regula tions provided that the producer must return to the county office each tobacco marketing card is sued for the farm within Jhirty days after the close of the mar kets in the .general locality. If all farmers return- their market ing cards as soon as they finish selling their 1967 crops, they will greatly facilitate the admins' istration of a program that means, much to them. . If farmers do not return their marketing ' cards -promptly they will take a chance of losing vital acreage ' because J of their -own carelessness, Ram sey said,', ,T , ; i "-VV f -, Marketing cards may be return- " ed to the local ASC office bx L simply placing a three cent stamp v on thft hark at tha rard wtifoli r - - : .' r- - c"7v i addressed to the office and plac ing it in the mail, or h may be , returned in person.
