SOUND THINKING
"More Promotions" was one of the principal top
ics at the Marshall Merchants Association meeting
held here Tuesday night.
For years, we have contended that Marshall
could be a "mecca for shoppers" if the merchants
would realize that it is almost essential to have pro
motions and special events like other towns and
cities. In this age of highly competitive attractions
for shoppers, improved highways, shopping centers,
attractive stores and abundant stocks, the merchant
who doesn't advertise stands a good chance of de
creased business and increased idleness.
Cooperation among local merchants in planning
and executing at least four promotions a year would
mean thousands of extra dollars to our town. If
other towns can successfully conduct promotions,
why can't Marshall? Many items are priced as low
and some lower than in nearby cities BUT the
public doesn't know it because the merchants don't
advertise.
At present, Marshall has only ONE concerted
effort or promotion and that is the annual Christ
mas Promotion. This is good and should continue
by all means. But wouldn't it seem logical that our
merchants should get together on other similar pro
motions in the Spring, Summer and Fall?
The public is going to trade where it is conven
ient and where they can get merchandise they desire
at prices which are in line with other localities. The
only way to ATTRACT the shopper is to offer them
-bargains and let them KNOW wat you have to sell.
One of the leading merchants in Marshall
stated that Marshall is losing customers to nearby
cities because of LACK OP COOPERATION AND
ADVERTISING. It was also suggested that local
stores should stay open on Friday nights not one
or two stores, but practically every store so those
who cannot shop due to employment during the day
could shop at night. It Was also pointed out that
parking spaces would be more available at night,
which would be a convenience to the public.
Others attending the meeting agreed that it is
high time ALL the merchants of Marshall think se
riously about this situation and unite to make Mar
shall an attractive place for the shopping public.
This is sound thinking and we earnestly hope
that we can all "get on the ball" and regain our rep
utation of "having more business according to pop
ulation than any other town in the United States," as
Ripley once stated.

Dr. Fred Bentley, Mara Hill's
energetic young president, will
complete his first year at the
helm of the 1400-student Baptist
college on June 30. He says he
will submit a budget to the board
of trustees for 1968-69 which will
boost the college to the C Aver
age level on the AAUP scale,
The improvements already
achieved and those anticipated in
the next year recently brought
praise from Dr. Peggy Heim, as
sociate secretary and economist
for the AAUP.
"To advance from F to C in the
minimum scale in two years is in
deed an achievement," she wrote
Bentley. "And to make the C av
erage grade in all ranks one year
later will be an even more out
standing feat. It shows how much
the college is doing. It is most
impressive."
The college's plans for the next
10 years are geared to a program
entitled "Emphasis on Excel
lence." Upgrading of the faculty
is the first goal.
"Competitive faculty compensa
tion will help the college recruit
the best qualified teachers availa- I
hie," lientlev said. It will heln
attract those with the necessary
professional preparation and of
fhe character we must have for
a Christian college. A superior
faculty, in turn, will develop a
top-notch academic program and
draw good students. Then we shall
have an excellent college."

SALVATION

Lesson Text: Acta 9:32 to 11.18
"Peter's telling ministry is the
subject of today's lesson.
Peter, like Paul, believe that
there were no boundaries of re
ligion, creed or distinction be
tween true believers in Christ.
Therefore, when the news that
the Gentiles at Caesarea had re
ceived the word of God spread to
the Apostles and their brethren
in Judea, Peter had a fight on his
hands a fight which he met
unafraid, in the tradition of his
Master!
Peter was criticized for eating
with the "uncircumcized;" he had
in the eyes of those Jews who
clung tenaciously to ceremonial
cleanliness and the material con
cepts of the Jewish religion
violated a tradition. This was a
Miss Jennie Lee Chandler is
retiring from teaching school af
ter 43 years in the classroom.
The last 25 years were at the
Walnut school where she taught
the fourth grade.
Her whole salary the first year
was less than her last month's pay
$65 per month for a seven
month term.
She was a member of the first
graduating class at Marshall High
School in 1923. A short teacher's
course that summer qualified her
for the teaching profession at that
time.
Since then, she took summer
school work and extension courses
at the old Asheville Normal Col
lege and Western Carolina Col
lege, finally meeting requirements
for an "A" certificate several
years ago.
Her first school was in a frame
building in the Laurel Communi
ty where she and her pupils kept
warm by a pot-bellied stove and
drank water from the common
dipper from a nearby spring.
As the years progressed, "Miss
Jennie Lee" taught in other Madi
son County Schools Madison '
Wyatt

i Seminary, Hot Springs, and Mea
dow r one. Her only year out of
Madison County was at Sedge
wood Gardens in Forsyth County.
Her co-workers honored her last
Tuesday night at the Madisof
Grill with a dinner party, carna
tion corsage, and a gift certifi
cate at an Asheville store. Pre
sentation was made by Auburn E.
Wyatt, her principal for the past
five years, who has only high
praise for "Miss Jennie Lee."
Her retirement plans include a
"lot of reading," several short
trips with her sister, "Miss Lu
lu;" who retired a few years ago,
and possibly some substitute teaching.
She said she would miss her
students because "they keep one
young." She praised highly the
Elementary and Secondary School
Act program in Madison County
"which has given us so many-
hooks and materials so badlv
needed."
An active Presbyterian, the eo-
ucator had served in several of
fices in her church as well as
I'TA, Red Cross and all other civ-
c organizations.
Walnut students will miss "Miss
Jennie Lee" next fall.
cardinal sin in the eyes of those
whose actions and lives were gov
erned by ritual.
The Apostles, while not actively
involved with the spreading of
God's Word to the Gentiles, rec
ognized the accomplishment of
others; those devout Jews who
clung to their laws were out
raged!
Peter, nontheless, firmly believ
ing that God's decree (that no
man or beast was unclean in His
eyes) was equally unswerving in
his belief that God's divine love
for mankind was all-embracing.
Peter went to the home of Cor
nelius at the bidding of God. As
a dedicated Christian, he had no
other choice but to obey God's
orders.
It is a matter of Biblical rec
ord that Peter was reluctant to
perform this task, for it was nec
essary for him to experience this
vision on three separate occasions.
We must realize, however, that
the vision came to Peter not as a
means to change his attitude to
wards the regimented laws of re
ligious beliefs, but rather
to change his attitude toward
mankind.
Peter went to answer the call
of a man who longed for salva
tion, and because of this unhesi
tating response, Cornelius and
other Gentiles found the joys of
salvation.

incidence is the fact that the Hoi

a nee) brings with it the gift of
salvation!
Christ . . . those thousands of
years ago . . . commissioned his
followers to "make disciples of all
nations." Today centuries la
ter He still accompanies us on
our program of world evangelism,
for He wants all men to be saved.
It was for this He died! As Chris
tians, we must accept those whom
He accepts, for His wisdom is
boundless, His boundaries less
confined than ours!
Are we like Peter willing
to dare preconceived notions of
what is right, and what is wrong,
if that defiance will further God's
work?
CARD OF THANKS
We would liks to take this op
portunity, to thank . our many
friends and neighbors for their
expressions of sympathy during
the illness and following the pass
ing of our husband, father and
foster-father, Charlie L. Tipton.
We also appreciate the beautiful
floral offerings, the kindness of

and the consoling words of the
minister.
