DON'T ACCEPT RESIGNATION
The announcement last week that Dr. Robert L.
Holt had submitted his resignation asvice president
cf Mars Hill College came as a distinct shock and
surprise to this writer. We do not know the reasons
which prompted Dr. Holt's action, but we do hope
that considerable thought will be given this matter
by the board of trustees and, other officials before
accepting his resignation. "
We have kndwn Dr. Holt for several years, both
as an official of the college and as a personal friend,
and we greatly admire him for his accomplishments
and devotion to Mars Hill College. After hearing
Dr. Holt deliver several sermons, our only regret was
that he couldn't have more time to devote to the min
istry. His knowledge of the Bible, his fine delivery,
his pleasing personality, with his other attributes,
make him ideal for the ministry. However, Dr. Ho.lt
has served' in many capacities since coming to Mars
Hill five years ago.
In 1953 he was named director of public rela
tions at the college and in 1954 he was elected vice
president by the board of trustees. He organized
the department of public relations at the college and
has directed a staff in alumni activities, student re
cruitment, publicity and public information, radio
and television work, fund raising and other phases
of educational public relations.
Dr. Holt is blessed by having that "certain some-
thing" that makes him popular with the students and
at the same time help maintain the high ideals which
hayp made Mars Hill College so well known and re
spected. 1 Not only will the college lose a sincere faculty ,
member and vice president, but will also lose a friend
of every student. The town of Mars Hill will lose a
splendid and respected family if his resignation is ,
accepted.
. - Too, Dr, Holt found time for other activities. He
was elected president of the Madison County United
;Fund organization and has served well In, this ca--'
"-ity. , Madison County will also lose a (leader and
ted citizen if his resignation is- accepted.
We hope that the board of trustees will try to
persaade Dr.. Holt to remain at -Mars Hill College. -

WHY "BEST KNOWN" ADVERTISE
. Every once in a while we run across the argu
ment that Madison County business concerns do not
need advertising in the local newspaper because "ev
erybody knows about their businesses."
This is an idea that no argument can erase from
the mind of a business man who has convinced him
self that he is too well known to need advertising to
remind people 6f what he has to sell. To business
i men with such ideas, we call attention to the fact that
the Coca-Cola Company, for many years, expended
an average of $2,000,000 a year on advertising.
' There are few things in the nation better known than
this popular drink. If it is worth millions of dollars
to advertise it, there must be something in advertis-
ing to produce sales.
As another example, let the business man look
through the advertising pages of our popular maga
zines. What he will see is a constant repetition of
advertising appeals by firms selling products that are
known in almost every household. The non-advertising
merchant might ask himself why these people
"threw their money away" on advertising.

"Fool Talk"
In Asheville Citizen-Times
I have been reading the Bible
since I wanted to go to the moon.
I find . . . where JSod confounded
the language when they were
'Dunging a tower to Heaven. I
don't want my language changed.
The Bible also says "Moon is
under a woman's foot." No man
will ever get to the moon." That's
all fool talk. Everyone at Wash
ington are like a bunch of 12 year

DO YOU READ

Can you read? This may seem
foolish to you, in view of the fact
that you are reading this article,
but, before answering, let us con
sider what it means.
An eminent college professor
once declared that the American
people are more than fifty per
cent illiterate in their effective a
bility to understand adult read
ing matter. He asserted that half
the population is unable to read
any printed material above the
seventh-grade level.
Obviously the educator was tel
ling 'xis that we read carelessly,
wfithout comprehending the im
port oT the, words we see. We
scan the language without appro
priating the thoughts and with
out consciously attempting to ab
sorb the reasonable implications
of tlie words.
Obviously, the nation has , mil
lions -of icitiswns who- read 'care
lessly, with resulting confusion
as to facts, figures ratios and re
lationships., -The carelessness is
apparent in fast and slow read-
It relates to a state of mind
ler than to speed in reading.
here are educators in the U-
ld States today who assert that

tiring the habit of intelligent
