Has it or is it doing anything constructive for Marshall and vicinity. Are meet ings well attended? It isn't too easy to answer all these questions without reservations. We consider the Marshall Chamber of Commerce active. Yet, it could be much more active. The second question is not too difficult to answer. The Chamber has and is doing many con structive things for Marshall and vicinity. Looking back a few years ago, it was the Marshall Chamber of Commerce which was most instrumental in pro moting the paving of Main Street. It was instrumen tal in promoting the improvement of telephone serv ice. It was the "key" organization in securing Mills Manufacturing Corporation here. It was the organ ization that spearheaded the purchase of the Indus trial Site on the By-Pass. It is constantly trying to do numerous other projects for the town. It may seem that little is actually being accomplished but it takes time for many projects to materialize. This brings us to the third question: Are meet ings well attended? The answer is "yes" and "no." Those who are interested and who have been mem bers for years attend regularly for the most part. What "bugs" us is the business and professional men who DO NOT belong to the organization. At present there are approximately 20-25 active members who attend the semi-monthly meetings. There should be at least 40 members. Just think what could be done if all the busi ness and professional men belonged to and attended the meetings. Efforts are underway to increase the member ship of this organization and it is hoped that more men will join and help in the organization's activi ties and goals. Is it because of YOU that the Chamber of Com merce isn't more active? -oOo- MAKES LITTLE DIFFERENCE Our latest understanding of the movement to legalize certain beverages in Madison Colanty has been slightly "changed" from the original intentions. Petitions were first circulated which read ". . . . to legalize the sale of whiskey, beer and wine in 'Madison County." Our understanding isv that the sale of whiskey of been "dropped" from the latest petitions. This leaves "... to legalize the sale of beer and wine in Madison County." Some better? Yes. But not much To drop one evil from three doesn't make the other two any less harmful. Madison County doesn't need or want beer joints which also sell wine. We don't believe that 1,300 persons (approximate number required to call ref erendum) will sign their names to those petitions. Would they be willing to have them published? Our advice is to drop this movement by f urther eliminating the other two beverages beer and wine from the petitions. -oOo- ANOTHER VIEWPOUNT Instead of trying to get people to sign their names to legalize the sale of beer and wine in Mad ison County, wouldn't it be much better to prepare petitions calling for signatures of persons wanting more and better recreational facilities for our citi zens? &$mjm Instead of offering our young girls and boys (and our adults) a can or a bottle, why not furnish them with some wholesome recreation? We believe modem bowling alleys would give both young and old an opportunity to "let off steam" and have plenty of wholesome recreation and fun. We would be happy to see such facilities in or near Marshall. Marshall has several expert bowlers who go to Asheville at least one night every week.. These same bowlers could do much to teach beginners how to bowl. Bowling is one of the fastest growing and most popular sports for all ages. Let's invest in something which develops the mind and body rather than to destrov them. Agrees With Ed'torUl 217 East Drive Winston-Salem, N. C Feb. 12, 1963 Dear Mr. Story: I have Just finished reading your editorial on the "Sale of Beer, Wine and Liquor in Madl on County." I stand with you 100 even though I am no longer a resident of Madison County. My heart there, and I"m very interested in the welfare of the county and tho residents there. The people who are trying to legalise the sale of alcoholic bev e rages there may use the excuse "taxes for schools," if they want, but I don't think they really have schools in mind when they put al coholic beverages at the disposal of teenagers who are attending those schools. They would really be helping the school if they could get some of the people who are going out of the county to spend money on liquor, to donate to the school what they are spend ing on alcohol. I know that the parents of these teenagers do not want to happen to their children what is happening to thousands every day. More than half the automo bile accidents that cripple or kill can be laid right back in the door way of an ABC store. I just hope and pray that my son never ends up like that. They should be concentrating on putting recreation facilities in the county to help keep the kids off the highways and their minds off things like drinking. I don't know of any place in the county where teenagers can go and dance and have clean fun. Every place I've been so far has places like this. They need YWCAs and YMCAs a lot more than ABC stores. I'm sure the people would rather have their kids visiting these institutions. You have my full support even though I cannot be there to help fight this terrible thing. I know oi lots oi opera wfto will sup- mHrWour opinions, too. t want boorish you luck and I hope and pray that your side wins this issue. I also want yon to know how much I admire you for not accepting beer, wine and liquor ads for your paper. There are too many of them who do sell advertising for them. Thank you for being an individualist. Keep up the good work. If there is any way I can help, please call on me. DAVID ROBERTS RETURNS FROM CONFERENCE The first Nation-wide Associa tional Missions Conference of Southern Baptists was attended by Rev. and Mr. David B. Rob erts, at Gulfshore, Mississippi, February 11-15. They were invited to consult with leaders from fourteen South ern. Baptist agencies, and Associ- ational Missionaries from forty- eight states. The Conference studied ways to aid church to bet ter minister to the spiritual needs of people. The 660 in attendance were di vided into sixteen study groups, where each member could contrib ute to the assignment. "The Association Serving as a Unit of Southern Baptist Life," was the study group of Mr. and Mrs. Roberts. The summation of the findings required a ream of paper. The Conference was sponsored by the Home Missions Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, Atlanta, Georgia. The Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Roberts said, "The Conference was one of the most informative, inspiring, and spiritual meetings that we have ever attended. It was cer tainly an opportunity in a life time, and we are so happy that we could attend."
