If we do not know the answers we admit it. We have never been the type of person who will make up some answer just for the sake of trying to prove we "know it all". There have been several questions asked us during the past week which we could not answer. Perhaps some of you readers could supply the correct an swers. If so, we will pass them on to the right parties. We might have found answers to some of the questions with a little research but it is much easier to pass them on to you, as follow: When (month and year) was the terrible tor nado on Little Pine? What year was the 17-inch snow in Madison County (It was in March, but what year?) When are they going to start doing actual work on the consolidated school? What has happened to all the talk about extending NC 213 from Marshall to Spring Creek? When are they going to relocate and improve NC 213 from Marshall to Mars Hill? What is the status of the proposed connector highway from the Weaverville highway to the Marshall By-Pass? When is construction going to begin on the low rent housing project in Marshall? Who is going to file for city officials ( mayor and aldermen) for the town election this year? How much money did the county "lose" when the State Supreme Court ruled the 1 per cent sales and use tax unconstitutional? If Lt. William L. Calley, Jr., appeals his case, what tribunal or court will hear the appeal? These are a few of the questins we've been asked the past week. If you know the answers maybe you can help us, especially concerning the highways.

As we approach the Easter season, recognizing with both shame and gratitude and with due humility of spirit the death of our Lord on the cross, that mankind might be saved, and rejoicing in His resurrection and final triumph over the forces of evil, this lesson will be especially significant to Christians everywhere. The verses we study today are prophetic in their contest. Christ often, as we have seen in prior lessons, preached by parable. His teachings in this lesson, however have a prophetic extension. In following the story of the householder who cultivated his property with such loving care and preparation, and who installed husbandmen to nurture it and bring forth the fruit he had so painstakingly planned for, we see the hand of God, ensuring the future and wellbeing of mankind. But when the harvest was ready, and the householder sent his servants to collect his just dues, as the owner and master, the servants were killed by the greedy caretakers of the land. And, again, when servants were sent a second time, these too were slain. And when the owner, as a last resort, sent his son to collect his rightful dues, reasoning that they would at least receive him with respect, the son was also slain. Time and again God had rescued the people of Israel, carrying them forward to the Promised Land, leading them out of bondage to a fuller, richer life. Time and again the Israelites had sinned against God, and time and again had they been forgiven and given every chance to become worthy followers of God, until God made the ultimate gesture by sending His only begotten Son to redeem the world. And, just as the landowner's downer's son was ill received at the hands of the husband men, and put to death, so was Christ the Lord. Every one of professes to be a should pause and selves: "What us who Christian ask our kind of husbandman am I? Am I, like those in the story above, weak, careless of our task, and sinning? Or do I try to build on the cornerstone of Christ?". NERSTONE OF Christ?". Our reception or our rejection of Christ and what He means to the world lies, initially, within ourselves. lip service is not enough, nor does it deceive God. Half-hearted acceptance of our religious tenets are just as bad as out-and-out rejection. A life that is dedicated to God's will will come to fruition and yield a plentiful harvest; one that gainsays His will will end up as a tragic waste. Christ must be the cor nerstone upon which we build; His love and concern for mmmmmmsm - a I Just heard today that the senior play will not be held this Saturday night due to the illness of two of the main characters, Garry Moore and David Allen, Seems the flu bug has got hold of the boys and won't turn loose! Mrs. Gosnell thinks they will be able to have it sometime next week and maybe several of you coming home for Easter holidays can come to see "Finder's Creepers"! Susan Gregory was by today I Tuesday) and said she has to go back to Salem College sometime next week before Easter and was disappointed that she would have to miss the play. I remember what fun we had last year when we had the play. I'll never forget Winfred Ramsey's lying on the sofa and groaning like he was dead! I understand this play is about the Maxwell family too, and I know we are really going to enjoy seeing it. I'm sorry about the verdict in the Calley trial. I hope that he won't get too much time and I don't believe that they could get by with hanging him. I am surprised about them giving the Manson crowd death, but think that is what they deserve. The idea of the lawyer asking for mercy for that gang when they gave no mercy to those poor seven they killed! I wouldn't push the button to kill them, but if ever someone deserved the death penalty, I firmly believe this crowd does. Well, the faculty proved Just too much for the freshmen girls and the junior boys. They even won WITHOUT me! I would have given anything to get in that game, but I Just couldn't make it and they called me "Chicken", but I've played a many a time when I really shouldn't have and for once I had good sense. I remember one time playing at Walnut using someone else's clothing Gosh, that was way back when Ralph Neill was principal ! Ruth Penland wanted to get a cutting of my Jonquil bush, but I'm only selling them to preferred customers! I must say that she really keeps pretty flowers blooming in front of her Beautytime Shoppe all the time. She first had wait, let me look it up crocuses, and now she does have Jonquils and some other pretty flower, and said next would come tulips and I forget what kind of BUSHES! Boy, if they won't grow by themselves. I just forget about them! I don't know what has happened to the Silver's pretty forsythia mankind must become our motivation as we live out our allotted time on this sadly troubled earth. The sacrifice portrayed in the symbol of the cross must not be wasted or ignored. It must be projected through our own lives to those of future generations, that our children may be saved. Let us pray they become good husbandmen, yielding to the Almighty perfect fruits when He claims what is rightfully His!
