Several students were injured as they miraculously escaped death or serious injury when the school bus, driven by a 16-year-old North Bun combe student, struck the soft shoulder on the nar row and dangerous Sprousetown Road and overturn ed down a 50-foot embankment. The accident oc curred in Madison County at the edge of the Buncombe-Madison county line. It was the young driver's first trip driving the school bus on this particular road. According to reports, the young driver's atten tion was momentarily distracted when students on the bus screamed and he looked around to see what was going on. In a matter of seconds, a loaded school bus of happy students was turned into a nightmare of painful groans, bloodstained clothes, injured bod ies, shock, and sadness. We are not placing complete blame on an irre sponsible operator of the bus. Perhaps an adult driv er would have done just as he did. Surely, students, although young and full of energy, should be cau tioned about screaming or distracting the driver. Un thoughtedly, it is only natural for a driver to look around when such an incident occurs. for this accident. the modern wide Kh width for two iter's attention was ly, this happened, soft shoulder and lder there was no road.

Per haps many 16-year-old drivers are better and safer drivers than older men. However, percentages would not agree with this statement. To our thinking, school buses should be operat ed by adult men (or women). The most precious possession on earth is a child. We pay our teachers adequate salaries so that our children can obtain an education. We make our schools as comfortable as possible for the children. Our lunchrooms are adequately staffed and graded. But for some reason, we allow practically any young ster we can find to operate a school bus which trans ports these precious possessions to and from the schools. The principal reason adults cannot be enticed to drive school buses is that there isn't enough pay to justify the adult's time. It's almost a full-time re sponsibility and it's understandable why adult driv ers are at a premium. Changes MUST be made. If a county cannot afford adequate salaries for competent adult school bus drivers, then the state should assist the counties. It's high time more attention be given the transpor tation of students. Much has been said about installing seat belts on all school buses. This is a fine idea and should be done. However, seat belts are not the answer, alone. An operator of a school bus should be of suffi cient age to be respected by students. He should de mand proper behavior on the bus. It is hard for a driver a fellow student to command and get proper conduct from young people his own age. One of the primary need's in our educational system, in our opinion, is ADULT SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS. ATTRACT8 ATTENTION Phono This Ncwwpapar An vou'U'1a' Attention Allanstand MRS.

Dealer Franchise No. 19tt Methodist Officials, Others Attend Impressive Ceremonies Ground - breaking ceremonies were held last Sunday in Mars Hill for the new Mars Hill Meth odist Church. Among those participating in the .observance were Bishop Earl 6. Hunt, Jr., Dr. E. H. Blackard, Dr. Hoyt Blackwell, the Rev. Dur ward Hofler, Raleigh English, Roy Cagle, Ralph Lee, Charles Powell, Ernest Powell, Jr., Gene Raymer, iaTTftirah McCain, Mrs. B. Carter, H. K. Bowling, Mrs. John C. Wright, Lee Andrews and the Rev. John H. Carper. Mr. Raleigh English extended a welcome to visiting officials and members of the Mars Hill College administration and facul ty, and to others present. Dr. Ernest Powell gave a his torical resume of the church and Dr. Charles Powell spoke of the mission of the church as seen by the members. Dr. Blackard spoke of the serv ice of the church and commented favorably on the church library to be in the new church. Dr. Blackwell stated that he Vote Hearing (Continued from Page One) ing places. The board of commissioners abolished 15 of the county's 23 townships on Sept. 13 and the board of elections joined in the action by reducing the number of voting places to conform to the new precincts. Huff declared Tuesday morning that due and proper notice of the action was given in Madison Coun ty. He said that the new regis tration for the November election begins this Saturday. He further contended it would be impossible before that date to give proper notice of a further change from the eight precincts now estab lished. "We want to see a road bond vote, Huff said, "because we need roads in Madison County." Huff said that the distance to be traveled is no longer a prima ry consideration for voters in Mad ison County. Ninety-nine per cent of them come by motor vehicles, he said. Attorneys A. E. Leake of Mar shall and Monroe Redden, of Hen- dersonville, are opposing Attor neys Joseph B. Huff and Clyde M Roberts in the case. Leake and Redden contend that the commissioners have no legal authority to eliminate townships and thus the hoard of elections had no legal authority to change the voting precincts. Both case! are related although separate. They are asking that the restrain ing order be upheld while Huff and Roberts are asking that they be dissolved. Judge Froneberger adjourned Hie hearing after about 90 min utes deliberation by ordering at torneys from both sides to file briefs by noon Wednesday setting forth all statutes relating to the case. ASKS WHY HAS LIME FAILED? was well pleased to see the work of the church and said it was an "asset to the community." Bishop Hunt recognized the fel lowship there is between Chris tians of all denominations and said such fellowship and coopera tion is good. He also praised the work of Mars Hill College and its administration. In speaking of the work among students, Bishop Hunt remarked, "the most strategic of the enter prises in which the Christian movement now engages is the work among students. There is nothing quite as important as serving the impressionable minds of serious young people with the truth of the Christian message, and this is the greatest task to which the church can address it self." "We mulst always work diligent ly with the members of the com munity who belong to the Meth odist fellowship and must always remember the most important thing you can provide for a col lege student is a local church at mosphere," Bishop Hunt said. Miss Pat Lunsford Gets Promotion In Washington Miss Patricia Lunsford of Wash ington, D. C, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jake Lunsford of Mar shall, was recently promoted to Administrative Assistant in the of fice of Dr. R.

Fore Body Shop Damaged By Fire Saturday Morning A blaze from a torch caused a fire in the Billy Fore Body Shop on the Marshall-Walnut highway last Saturday morning resulting in an estimated damage of $150. Marshall firemen extinguished the. blaze before further damage could be done. "I wish to thank the firemen for their prompt and efficient service," Mr. Fore said. Most farmers, especially in humid area, are sold on the of fertilizer to increase LACK INITIATIVE Many golden opportunities are bat because man lack the initia- the use crop yields. This just isn't true with agricultural limestone. Agrono mists in the humid areas agree that liming is the first step in improving acid soils. And yet, the farmeris will buy fertilizer in pre ference to liming material. Why? Here are some of the reasons de veloped from talking with farm ers, soil techinicans and others: (1) The resuls with lime are slow, whereas fertilizer, especially ni trogen, gives immediate and spec tacular results. (2) Users of su perphosphate claim they get enough lime from this product, which contains more calcium than it does phosphorous. (,')) The College recommends putting on the lime six months before seed ing, but delivery can't be made when the farmer wants it. (4) The lime spreader trucks don't cov er all hilly land uniformly, and it's 1 too much work for the farmer to spread it. (5) My land doesn't need lime (no lime applied pre viously and no soil test made). (6) It's a cheap product and so can't be worth much. (7) The fer tilizer salesman said quicker re turns would be be obtained from investing in fertilizer. (8) The returns are so slow that bankers hesitate to make loans which can not be repaid the same year. Lime corrects soil acidity, sup plies calcium and magnesium to plants, improves soil structure, increases activity of soil organ -ismb, prevents soil erosion by pro. meting lush growth of cover crops, boosts the efficiency of manure and fertilisers and in creases both the yield and quali ty of most crops.
