This is also true of the Salvation Army, the Marshall and Hot Springs Lions Clubs and other worthwhile groups. Most of us seem unaware that our county would be severely "hurt" without these and, other organizations. Those of us who don't actually come face to face with these services seldom give them se rious thought. This is pathetic. We feel sure that the Salvation Army and the two county Lions Clubs could list many humanitarian accompishments if they would. This is also true of the American Red Cross. Now that the Madison County Chapter and the Buncombe County Chapter have merged into one large unit, our people should take inventory of what services the Red Cross organ ization is performing daily to benefit 'Madison Coun ty people. Mr. Marshall Upton, manager of the Buncombe Madison Chapter, was in Marshall this week and had the following to report regarding what Red Cross has done in Madison County this year. Mr. Upton said : "Since January of this year, 283 units of blood have been supplied to residents of Madison County from the Asheville Regional Blood Center. This blood was provided, as you know, free of charge to these patients as no charge is made for Red Cross blood. You can easily see that had this blood been purchased commercially at the minimum rate of $25.00 per unit this would have been very expensive for the families involved. "Our Junior Red Cross is becoming active this year in Madison County and programs will be getting underway shortly ; at Spring Creek, "Marshall, and Walnut High Schools. As soon as possible we will be in contact with; all of the other schools regarding lumur j.vcu u W3 uivKiaiuiuni .. : Mrs. Robert . L.

With Our Boys U Service t Fort Eustis, Va. (AHTNC) Army Pfc Carl Chandler, 21, son of Airs. Linda Chandler, Route 4, Marshall, is a member of the 329th Transportation Company which was recently named Honor Company of the Quarter at Fort Eustis, Va. A seaman in the company at Fort Eustis, Chandler entered the Army in March 1958 and com pleted basic training at Fort Knox, Ky. Chandler is a 1956 graduate of Laurel High School, Marshall R-3. Before entering the Army, he was employed by Goodyear producing life in The year 1959 is moving toward its end, without so far develop ing the third World War or the other misfortunes that were pre dicted by the pesmists. There has been no collapse of public morale and the younger generation, despite the complaints of their elders, seems to be de veloping normally. These facts shold not be overlooked in con nection with new items which na turally play up the unusual with out expressly recognizing the great number of men and women who play the game of life accord ing to sound and fair rules. We are not yet ready to wel come the advent of 1960, or to sug gest, that those who wish to plan their lives should get down to the business of making resolutions). We will say, however, that in dividuals can trreatly improve themselves by giving serious con sideration to l 'program" to be followed, in an effort to attain" de- sired.sgoals, -There is a great tendency on the part of most people to live from day to day, without any conscious attempt to follow a pattern based fundamentally on principles per sonally accepted in theory but not always discernible in the turmoil of daily affairs. It might be pro fitable for all of us to check up on our pretensions and practices. RESTORATION NOW GOES ON Every now and then we. hear about some fine citizen who ou adopted an orphan abroad, or I family abroad, and who is send ing money and food and clothes, regularly, to support his charity. Often as not, the American doing this has never seen the beneficia ry or beneficiaries. . ; ; Thinking of ;this, and opening our eyes to some of the conditions1 which, surround us, it becomes readily apparent that there . is much help needed by people in our own community and in our own :tate.'Kf$ii;''v 'r 11 ' ' For example, if we are inclined to adopt some vparentless child, we might look at some of the won derful orphanages in this coun try, and which are not too far from home. , There is nothing wrong with .helping our own peo ple, and they would appreciate it, and the results' of this help could be judged first-hand, at least to a far greater degree than one can judge what is happening to his money overseas., 1 The point of this article is that we are sometimes a little bit too eager to send bur money to a dis tant land, because we fall for sen timental tales and nostalgia, over looking great needs which sur round us. Fc rmhiCT Grcupj t Fcr Canvassing , COLORED STARS IN THE SKY From Williamsburg, Virgina, comes the announcement by Pres ident Carlisle Humelsine that the work of restoring the ancient Va. colonial capitol, goes no.

It is interesting to know that the restoration goes no and be comes more complete each year. In the latest annual report on the work at Williamsburg, several re cent discoveries, adding to the knowledge and restoration, are mentioned. ! Altogether, the task is a tremen dous on and the accomplishment thus far realised is and will be a bertiage available to all Ameri cans, we are . a "young country, bat our abort history has been a dramatic one... It it wonderful that an entire city like Williams burg hat been rebuilt -. offering This is a good time of year to turn your attention to the colored stars. They are few in the heav ens, .and it takes some careful at tention to pick , them out, but you can do it if you will pick a bright night and go about the job with determination. . A reddish star which might be seen is Mira, or the Wonderful Star, which is found in the con stellation Cetus.;- Cetus is in the southern part of the sky. Mira becomes very bright for about ten days, about this time of the year, and: is . reddish , in color. It. is much larger than the sun. i In -the northeastern portion of the heavens, the bright star Cap- ells, is, easy, jbo observe, and lies fna4nmaU tSwifteHuVof-the Charioteer. The Charioteer ; is In the northern edge of the Milky Way. . Near it, down towards the east, is the orange-red star Alde- baran, which is in the constella tion Taurus. Note that Capella and Adle baran are the only brilliant stars high up in the whole eastern half of the heavens at about nine o' clock at night at this time of the year. You can find three bright stars near the. North Star. They are Vega, Deneb, and Capella and Capella is the brighest star near est the Pole. If you have any delusions of grandeur, when you view Capella, remember that you are seeing it as it was forty-seven years ago. It takes that long for its light to reach the earth. Cap- eua is actually speeding away from us at the rate of nineteen miles a second. Capella ranks third in bright ness of all the stars we see in the United States, and is a faint yel If you look at it to night, and then sea it tomorrow night, it win be 1,631,600 mHes farther away which reminds you again of the immensity, scope and miracle of the heavens. During the week of November 22-27, an effort, will be made to lead every church ' and Sunday School member to make a pledge toward i the I960 budget goal of the, Marshall ,. Baptist ; Church. (Sunday, school members who are not church members will be in vited to share in the pledging if they desire. , It is hoped that most of the pledges will , come in on Pledge Sunday, November 22. Sunday school leaders are informing their members of the ' atten dance goal for that Sunday, and urging those who know they must be absent' to send their cards early to be counted in the tabulation. Clyde Roberts and the four men on his budget - pledging committee are enlisting additional men to serve as canvassers the week following Pledge Sunday. They will call in the homes of those who are unable to be present on Pledge Day. The committeemen who are enlisting the canvassers include: Clyde M. Roberts Roy Reeves Boyce Mayhew Walter Ramsey Arthur Ledford If you are asked to serve as a canvasser, be ready to say yes. Vou will not only receive a per sonal blessing from visiting, but you will be making a valuable contribution to the financial pro gram of the church. r.IARSIIALL IN FINALE, 14-0 Charles Day and Jim Powell scored touchdowns Friday night to pace Drexel High to a 14-0 vic tory over Marshall as the teams ended their football season.

Unfor tunately, not enough has been done about them. One of the ominous realities we must face today is that if a nu clear war develops we will not then have time to provide this ad equate shielding against radia tion. After the sirens sound, 'and after the bomb or bombs, have been dropped, it will be too late for us to protect our families and loved ones. Of course, in recommending constructing a family1 fallout shelter, some may conclude that we are being premature. This is not true. Even if the shelter is never used, it is a wise precau tion forv. the thinking family to take, and it can be used in time of emergency, during a severe storm, such a a tornado, and for other purposes. , Bat even if It is never used, it it certainly - better to be prepared to avoid fatal doses' of radiation,' by acting in time, ev en if a nuclear war does develop, than to be unprepared and at tna mercy of enrents.. i, . . The Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization has compiled a book let giving instructions ' for the building of a falout shelter.

The American Bar Association has been told that national sovereignty should end fifty - three miles up in the air. The law of outer space what ever it is would take over then. John Cabb Cooper, a McGill University professor, who is an expert on space law, says inter national control is the only prac tical answer. He also indicated that governments had already in dicated some acceptance of the principle. 13-6G?iU)Gl.-J T0GNJAYVO iBobby Baker scored two touch downs Thursday night to lead the Carson-Newman Jayvees to a 18-. & victory over Mara Hill Junior College on the rain-soaked Mara Hill gridiron.
