AIR MAIL 40c Per Week EDITORIAL Referendum - Flections A total of 2,783 Madison County farmers engaged in the production of burley tobacco voted in Tuesday's referendum to determine whether they favored or opposed establishment of farm marketing quotas on a poundage basis. Preliminary results revealed that 2,643 voted "For" the issue and only 140 voted "Against" the issue. This is about 94.9 per cent in favor of the poundage basis. It required two-thirds majority throughout the burley belt to pass. It is gratifying to know that our farmers took such an interesdt in such an important decision. To often too many eligible voters "sit it out" at home and let others decide issues. We congratulate the 2,783 voters for going to the 16 polling places. In the three town elections Tuesday, voting was "fairly heavy". In Marshall, 410 out of 533 eligible voters marked their ballots. This was considered a "fine turnout" but still there were 123 eligible voters who did not vote. Our citizens should show more interest in their town government. There were no contests at Mars Hill, thus a very light vote. Hot Springs voters turned out "fair" but not to heavy although there were contests. All in all, the elections created quite a bit of interest but more people could and should have voted. Movie Com plaint Since we can't be considered a "movie-goer" or critic we are not in a position to criticize the type of pictures which are sometimes shown. However, word has reached us that certain movies recently shown at a nearby drive-in have been disgraceful, indecent and most objectifnaF This complaint Was made by a person who attended "What Do You Say To A Naked Woman." One objection this person had was that all ages were admitted He stated that about 50 cars were in the theater area, many of them with boys and girls under 18 years of age. Various people have various ideas as to the type of movie they want to see but we agree that if a picture is rated "X", it should restrict youths under 18 years of age from attending. Girl Scout Council Gets $4,870 Grant A $4,870 Julie Eisenhower Grant to enable the Pisgah Girl Scout Council to extend Girl Scouting in low income areas has been approved by National Headquarters, Girl Scouts of America. Mrs. Paul Buff, executive director of the Girl Scouts Council, was notified that the grant was approved by Florence Otto, director of personnel. The grant will be sup plemented by funds to be secured locally by the council. Purpose of the program is to provide opportunities to par ticipate in Girl Scouting for all girls and adults in the Ap palachian Mountain area of Pisgah Girl Scout Council, which serves 16 counties. The program will be aimed particularly at Madison County and the Cherokee Indian Reservation. Plans call for training in digenous leadership in the two areas, working as an extension of the present Field Service of the Council K evival A series of revival services will begin Sunday and continue through Saturday, May 15, at the Calvary Baptist Church in Mars Hill The Rev Ralph Hogan, pastor, stated that the Rev.

MEMORY SELECTION: "For they saw the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind". (Hosea 8:7a) LESSONTEST: Hosea 1:1; 4:1 9; 7:5-10; 8:4-8. Leadership has always in cluded responsibility, and in Christianity's beginning, these responsibilities were awesome. It is hoped that a study of the character traits of those chosen by God to bring His laws and ordinances to the people, will stress the value of good leadership in all areas of life, just as conversely a study of the failings of Israel's leaders will point up the areas to be avoided by the practicing Christian. Hosea was a stalwart per son. ..stalwart in his religious beliefs and stalwart in his capacity for love. The husband the errant and wayward Gomer, he forgave her in fidelity and returned her to her position as his wife and mistress of his household despite the pain and sorrow she had inflicted on him. And perhaps it was his great personal tragedy that allowed him to relate Israel's unfaithfulness to God with Gomer's unfaithfulness to him, and the pain such unfaithfulness inevitably brought in its wake. God's Love for Israel was so great that Hosea perceived, instinctively, that if she would only repent of her sins and turn from the worshipping of idols to the worshipping of the one true God, she would be granted reinstatement of her unique position in God's plan for mankind. The covenant between God and Israel had been tacitly sealed by their acceptance of His Ten Commandments. It was the duty of the leaders of the people the priests and the kings to see that this covenant was honored. In this duty they failed miserably. Instead of forming alliances with God, they often turned to alliances with surrounding nations, and these nations were pagan peoples. The worship of idols was rampant, and, like a disease, spVead among the Israelites, with the end result that paganism was not only tolerated, but even catered to. ..in definace of God's Commandments. Intellectual and spiritual strength, firmly implanted in religious con victions were sorely needed in Hosea's time. Today they are needed equally urgently if we are to lift our nation out of the morass of drugs, violence, disobedience and unrest into which it has fallen. Israel's lack of knowledge of God was not because of the absence of opportunity ; rather, it was the inevitable con sequence of disregard. And the phrase: "No knowledge of God in the land" applies to us today, just as much as it applied to the people of Hosea's day and age. Lack of idealism and justice and worthwhile striving, in dividually and collectively, can still be a fatal sickness to a people, and the antidote of that sickness can, and will, escape us if we refuse to return to God's Holy Word. We cannot run the risk of being "compromising Christians". The pastor and his congregation will make or break the church. We have responsibilities we cannot shirk.

M MISS HOLT if Li , Just A Woman's Observations BY DOROTHY BR1GMAN SHUPE MISS FISH Holt.

Watch for Suckers Keep an eye on trees and shrubs that are grafted or budded. Sucker growth sprouting from the base of the plant below the bud or graft union can weaken the entire plant in a year or two. Suckers are especially noticeable at the base of fruit trees, roses, lilacs, and rhododendrons. To get rid of suckers, trace them down to their origin, several inches below the ground, and jerk them out. If merely cut off, suckers will return. Each year we receive questions about a rose bush which has "changed" into a "blackberry-like" plant. What has happened is that the root-stock has produce suckers with leaves that resemble blackberry leaves. The top part of the plant ( that part growing from a bud that was inserted in the strong-growing rootstock) has died or become weak. The rootstock has taken over to produce strong growth. Southern Corn Leaf Blight continues to be the number one disaster in com production this season. The latest report, as of the end of April, from Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, South Dakota, Texas, Wisconsin, and North Carolina, continues to be favorable. Florida, Texas, and Georgia being the farthest Southern states should have the blight showing up by now. Reports from Florida state that practically no blight is showing up there as yet. Of course, Florida is experiencing one of the worst droughts it has had in many years and this would work against the development of Southern Corn Leaf Blight. Florida reports no blight seen on any varieties surveyed. Texas reports less than one per cent blight in fields seeded from corn that was infected last year. Here again, they are ex periencing a very severe drought. North Carolina reports no significant amount of blight on seedlings in the Eastern part of the state. These reports in dicate that there will be little chance of the disease spreading Donald Norton from the South into our county area this year. If you're watching your food Released Under budget you can add instant nonfat dry milk powder to dry ingredients in a recipe ac cording to U. S. Department of Agriculture home economists. Remember dry milk may be sifted with dry ingredients for cakes and breads or stirred right into flour for gravy or sauce. It also mixes well with cornstarch and sugar for puddings. Then add water for the required amount of liquid. Planning a hiking trip, or an ovemighter? Now is the time. Your National Forest is public land. ..yours to enjoy. ...also to protect. Outdoor recreation is at its best but you must be careful with fire, obey state game laws, .respect property ublik an private. Your picnMT an campground should be kept clean. Remember to plan your hiking route, carry essential equipment with you and tell someone where you're going and when you'll return. New Money-Saving Materials Decorative, louvered-wood shutters are very popular, but mey are usually a main tenance headache. Not only are they tedious to paint, but they are also prone to peeling because of their many joints. However, you can eliminate this problem by buying and installing shutters made of vinyl or nylon that you need not paint. Available in several colors and shades, they are virtually impervious to the weather. They come in 14 and 16 inch widths and in heights of 24 to 80 inches. Also available are shutters made of aluminum with enamel or acrylic finish. These generally cost a bit less than the vinyl or nylon shutters and are guaranteed against peeling. $10,000 Bond Donald Norton, 31, of the Laurel section of Madison County, charged with the murder of Jack S. Ray on April 23, was released from the Madison County jail last Saturday under a $10,000 bond, Red Cross Report The Asheville Area Chapter, American Red Cross, has reported that during the month of April, five units of blood were dollected while six units of blood Were used by residents of Madison County. The Service to Military Families Department assisted with one case for Madison County during April. This was for a serviceman birth notification (reporting). Ed Morton, Red Cross First Aid instructor, taught two standard and two advanced first aid classes to the Madison County Ambulance Service in April. Local Witnesses Will Attend Convention Well, I lived through another Kentucky trip and I must say that this junior class was about the best behaved group I've ever taken on this trip. One boy did try to hijack the bus with a broom handle and force Mr. Hensley to take us to Cuba, but otherwise, the trip was a very good outing. Got a call from Emma Jean Allen Fisher the other day and she had recently been on a trip to Detroit where she saw several of my former Walnut students. She said that Warren Chandler is now a member of the school board in his district and that she saw Leonard Caldwell up there too. She was wondering how many Walnut graduates would come to the annual Alumni banquet and hoped several from her class would make it this year. Was up to Sears Saturday and saw the former Sandra Metcalf who married Ronnie Candler. They have two little girls, she said, and that ole Dennis Fisher lives near her now. I can ASCS Welcomes Certification Questions Farmers participating in the feed grain and-or wheat programs are urged by Emory Robinson, chairman of the Madison County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee to get answers to any questions they might have before they certify set -aside and crop acreage. "Call, write or come into the county ASCS office. Be sure you know exactly what you're certifying before you sign your name," he said. Producers who are par ticipating in the feed grain and or wheat programs must certify set -aside and crop acres at the county ASCS office as soon as possible. The final date for certifying on wheat is May 15 and the deadline on corn is June 30. As soon as a producer cer tifies, the county ASCS office begins processing the data for payment which will be made soon after July 1. Payments are expected to be completed before, the end -of August. "We want to prevent any mistake in certification. It could cost a farmer all or some of his payment. Once he has certified, he can't make adjustments in order to be in compliance. He has to be in compliance when he certifies. If a spot-check shows he has made a mistake, he is out of luck. "So if there's a question or doubt in a farmer's mind about exactly what is required, he should ask our ASCS office as soon as possible. It could save him money," Robinson said. He urged farmers to certify set -aside and crop acres as soon as possible, saying early cer tification will help speed payments.
