Needless to say, all streams and branches have been out of bound's for the past several days and roads in this area or at least many of them have been greatly damaged. The crisis, however, was Tuesday night. Al though the river at 'Marshall had receded earlier in the day, it started rising again in the late afternoon and in a few hours was threatening to "come in the street." Many businessmen didn't go home for sup per Tuesday. They chose to continue moving mer chandise from bottom shelves to higher ones. Those who did go home hurried back to start moving things to "higher ground." By eight o'clock practically all stores were lighted up and men and women work ing. Many stood on the edge of the railroad and watched with anxiety as the muddy waters roared up and up. Fortunately, the crest was reached before the river actually got in the street but it was close. It is amazing during such a crisis how everybody pitches in to help the other person. Often competi tors help each other and it is gratifying to know that there is so much goodwill in abundance. In order to keep people posted on what was go . . ing on, Radio Station WMMH stayed on the air Tues 'ffi' dy niglifc - was -a public service ad Dean Shields and the entire personnel should be commend ed for this service. Highway crews stayed on the go keeping highways and roads open. Electrical re pairmen were alert and ready to go into action. Pa trolmen and other officers were kept busy and even the Marshall fire department came to the rescue of a Diesel train which was "out of water." Sympathetic feelings and team work were much in evidence and by such cooperation the crisis passed much easier. -oOo- GIRL SCOUT WEEK We congratulate the Girl Scouts and their leaders during Girl Scout Week this week. Elsewhere in this issue can be found an article dealing with the Madison County Girl Scouts and their leaders. We feel, however, that an editorial commending these girls is in order. In addition to learning the various duties and activities of Girl Scouts, these girls also learn to be super saleswomen as can be attested by their splen did records in selling Girl Scout Cookies. We commend the ladies who devote so much time to this worthy cause and' ask that more ladies vqlunteer their services. Again, we congratulate the Girl Scouts on Girl Scout Week and wish for them continued growth. With The Sick Mrs. J. N.

"Through the educational program of the AOS and through newspapers, mags tines, radio and television, a growing number of people have learned that this dis ease is not necessarily fatal that, if detected early, half of all cancer cases can be cured." "Knowing more about the nature of cancer,'' Mr. McPherson said, "people are now taking sensible precautions. The beat way to deal with anxiety is to keep in mind the seven danger signals and if your signal lasts longer than two weeks, go to your doctor." "We are very fortunate to hsve Senator Irwin Belk of Charlotte as Chairman of the 1963 life-saving Crusade. He is an active busi ness and civic leader, President Belk Enterprises, Inc., Charlotte, and vitally interested in educa tion." Mr. McPherson said over 1,100,- 000 Americans have been cured of cancer free of the disease five years after treatment. About 177,- 000 patients will be saved this year, he said, and 88,000 more could be saved if they received effective treatment in time. Mr. McPherson said, "Public edu cation saves lives today. The an nual health check-up by a physi cian is the best insurance against needless cancer death. Prompt ac tion on a cancer danger signal can often detect cancer in time for cure.

Time can be gain ed by using plsstic to start to bacco plants. A simple essy way to prepare a plastic covered plant bed is giv en below. Use methyl bromide gas in the usual manner and air the bed oat well before sowing seed. Build skies and ends of bed with IS inch wide boards and place small stakes at each end of the bed 16 inches high and every three foot apart down the center of the bed. Use small strips .1 inches wide from the top of the sides over the stskes to form sup port for plastic. The plastic can be securdd on one side of the bed by using small strips and nail through thes trips and plastic in to thes ids. The plastic can then be brought over the strips to the other side of the bed end held In place with small strips tacked through the plastic into the side Of Hie bed. Second hand baler's twine can then be tied over the plastic at three or four foot in- s to prevent excessive wind 1 . .aamage. Before the plastic is put over the bed the bed should be wet with CO gallons of water containing one pound of 76 ferbame, Fermate, to control damping off. It may be necessary to loosen one side of the plastic and water the beds. A section of each end should be made so the bed could be ventilat ed if necessary. After the plants have reached the size of a half dollar in leaf diameter the plastic should be re moved and replaced by a tobacco canvas. !
