LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL
It may be a bit premature but we believe if Lit
tle League Baseball is to be played in the county this
summer, plans should be made early so that the teams
could begin to organize, a schedule adopted and of
ficials named.
The Babe Ruth League and the Little League
were considered most successful last season although
it was the first year such teams have been organized
in the county.
Last season, four teams in each league (Mar
shall, Walnut, Mars Hill, Hot Springs) participated
and many boys "found" themselves when they began
playing "real baseball." Interest mounted as the
season progressed and the public in general went
"overboard" for the sport. Hundreds of boys turned
out for the teams but only a small portion of them
actually "made the team." Even so, the competitive
spirit and. all-out efforts of the boys proved that they
loved to play baseball.
Naturally, the first season had many weakness
es and "hitches." Perhaps many of 'these can be
ironed out this season. It's going to take adult lead
ership of the finest and most honorable type to make
the season successful. The boys are willing to give
their all but at the same time, organization, practice
and sportsmanship must be spearheaded by adults.
Teams interested in entering the leagues this
season should start now to "talk it up" and organize.
Don't let's wait until mid-season to start plan
ning let's begin NOW!

BOTTLENECK STILL PREVAILS
The dangerous "bottleneck" at the intersection
of the Redmon Road and Highway 25-70 at the north
eneHjf Main Street continues td be one of the most
dangerous spots in our town. We don't like to keep
"harping" on such a situation, but if something isn't
done soon, we fully expect a serious if not fatal acci
dent to occure there. Too many drivers are making
it a habit to make U-turns .often darting in front of
vehicles coming down the hill toward Marshall.
We have also noticed more and more cars park
ing on both sides of the narrow Redmon Road, mak
ing it most hazardous for children and grownups to
walk near the intersection.
Editorials alone, will not relieve this situation.
It's going to take action from town officials and co-
