Eight Months $2.00 Six Month 11.60 : . ::'jk POPULATION LOSS For many years our county has been losing pop ulation to the industrial north and by so doing we have "lost" thousands of our young men and women. During th past 15-20 years our county's population has dwindled from some 23,000 to less than 18,000. This is not good and more serious is the fact that lit tle is being done to get these fine citizens back home. Greater opportunities, larger salaries and industrial growth, especially in Michigan, is the principle rea son for the exodus from 'Madison County. It is not because they have grown tired of the mountains and the comfortable summer nights and' pleasant winters. To the contrary, most of our na tives in other states would long to be back in the mountains but where they can they find employ ment? Save for Hammarlund, Pacific "Mills, Mills IMfg. Co., MATO, and a few smaller industries, there is little to offer in employment . We must, then, think of more industry or some pther inducement by which our county will start "growing." We cannot afford to continue to lose our young people. At the present our county is composed primarily of school-age children and adults past 40 years of age. Fortunately, we have Miars Hill College in our county. This growing institution is a great asset to Madison and Western North Carolina, but most of the Mars Hill College students, when graduated, al so leave. , . . j Business and professional men and women ana . 1 J.: XI .. 1 ..A i Uy. nMil-iT altltlljl various organizations mruugnuui, uis tuuv ouvu "mesh" into one united body for careful planning on taking steps to keep our young people here. As it is, we pay to educate them ; then lose them during their prime years, and in many instances regain them af ter they have reached retirement or past productive and useful years. We sorely need this "middle age group. The picture isn't pleasant but we should con tinue to strive for more industry, development of our natural resources and make every effort possible to hang out the "Welcome Home" sign to those who would prefer returning to this county. BAPTIST CHILDREN'S HOME In close relationship to the above editorial, what greater "industry" could we secure in our county than a Baptist Children's Home? Absurd? Maybe not. In a recent conversation with the Rev. Roger Williams, pastor of the Mills Home Baptist Church at Thomasville, the Rev. Jack Thomas, pastor of the Marshall Baptist Church, learned that the long-range plan of the Baptist Children's Homes in North Car olina calls for the establishment of a home in Westr ern North Carolina in a region referred to by the general superintendent, Dr. W. R. Wagoner, as "the greater Asheville area." Apparently the first step necessary in the es tablishment of the facility is the receipt of suitable land by donation or the receipt of funds adequate to enable purchase of suitable land. The acreage required would depend on building and landscaping suitability. The idea now is for the construction of four cottages to house approximately 15 children each for a total plant capacity of about 60 children. Mills Home at Thomasville has 600 acres; Ken nedy Home at Kinston has 1200 acres. However, both of these operations include an extensive farm ing enterprise. Odum Home at Pembroke is situat ed on a 50-acre tract (one large building accommo dating 24 children and staff). -.mm. The point we're trying to make is that WHY NOT OFFER OUR COUNTY as a prospective Bite for the new Baptist Home? Our county is primarily composed of Baptists. Our county m the fhome" of Mars Hill College. Our county has -plenty of available land suitable and adaptable for this project. , , . Speaking of an added "industry,'? wouldn't new home for children be one of the finest and most productive industries we could have? Shouldn't the leaders of the French Broad Mis sionary Baptist Association look around and see if some benefactor might donate this property? This erit to give it coi With such a 1 tfht. children would when reaching build homes in permanent cM- Gifu To High School Library At Mart Hill Mr. Joe Monran. librarian ei the Mara Hill High School report two out tending recent gifts to Mm Unary.
