,.. . Some Proposal
Plans for a $2,600,000 water
shed program for the upper
French Broad River basin are
nearing completion, 12th District
Congressman Roy A. Taylor an
nounced today.
Rep. Taylor said the U. S. Soil
Conservation Service, through its
North Carolina office in Raleigh,
has mapped tentative plans for
the construction of 23 small flood'
water dams to provide flood pro
tection to the Henderson-Transylvania
Counties area.
The proposed dams will also
help to provide flood control a
long the French Broad River in
Buncombe and Madison Counties.
The dams will control 106,300
acres of the 217,190 acres in the
upper French Broad watershed,
said Taylor. Soil Conservation
Service planners hope to have sites
selected for the floodwater struc
tures by early in 1963, he said.
Plans for the watershed pro
gram are being developed in co
operation with the Soil and Water
Conservation Districts of Hender
' son and Transylvania Counties
and their county and municipal of
ficials, said Rep. Taylor.
The congressman listed as fol
lows some of the proposals and
developments in connection with
the watershed program:
1. Forty-five miles of the upper
French Broad and 12 miles of
tributary channels will receive
channel improvement through the
removal of trees, logs, snags and
BOTH PARTIES
SUPPORT THREE
AMENDMENTS
At least three of the six pro
posed ; amendments to the State
Constitution have the endorse
ment of both the Democratic and
Depublican parties. The amend
ments Will be submitted to a vote
of .the people hi the Nov. 6 gen
eral election.
Both parties support the a-
mendments for court reform, au
tomatic" reapportionment of the
State House of Representatives
and clarifying the order of suc
cession to the governorship and
other top elective offices.
The Republican Party also offi
cially supports the proposed a-
mendment to reduce residence re
quirements for voting for Presi
dent and Vice President. It op
poses the amendment to enable
the State Legislature to increase
the salaries of state elective offi
cials during their term of office,
and takes no position on the a
mendment providing for uniform
i statewide classification and ex-
emption of property for taxation

REFERENDUM ON
DEDUCTIONS FOR
WOOL, LAMBS
On September 7, 1962 ballots
were mailed out to all known
sheep producers in Madison Coun
ty in order to determine whether
they are in favor of or against
continuing the agreement of de
ductions from wool payments
made under the wool incentive pro
gram for use in sales promotion
and advertising purposes.
Emory Robinson. Chairman of
the County ASC Committee, said
that Section 708 of the National
Wool Act of 1954 authorizes the
Secretary of Agriculture to enter
into agreements for the conduct
of advertising and sales promotion
programs for the industry's pro
ducts and the financing of such
programs by deductions from the
payments to the producers under
the Act. It provides a method
for which producers finance the
promotion of lamb and wool. The
new agreement is similar to the
agreements) iriajdq and approved

"I wouldn't have', that three
acre field back like it was for a
thousand dollars", was the remark
made by Oscar Boles who lives in
the Spill Corn Section. The field
to which he referred had previous
ly been spotted with wet places
where water was coming to the
surface. The operation of machi
nery had been difficult on this
field. In some places it had been
almost impossible to get equip
ment over. Crops in these places
would turn yellow and die. Con
sequently, all labor and fertili
zer applied to these places was
wasted.
In 1961 Oscar made application
to the Soil Conservation District
in Mfldiaoit" Ooimtv for assistance.

District .visited Mr. Boles farm

Marshall High School has been
placed on probation for one year
by the Western North Carolina Of

an incident growing out of a foot
ball game Friday night, August

In addition, East Henderson has
been ordered to furnish adequate
police protection at all homes
for the remainder of the season.
The incident occurred after the
game, which was played at the
West Henderson field since the
East field is still under construc
tion. Two game officials umpire
Louis Joyner and head linesman
Ed Harrill were attacked aftpr
the game by some disgruntled
fans after Marshall lost, 26-14.
The WNCOA, a member of the
state officials organization, has
given Marshall the choice of (1)
either playing all its games on
the road or (2) playing all its
home games on Saturday to start
