Although some have expressed a preference for the tabloid size the vast majority seem delighted that this newspaper has returned to an eight-column, 21 v2 inch size page, even larger than the former size printed prior to last August. An attest to the popularity of the present size is noted by the number of renewals and new sub scribers. We are most grateful for the present response and will strive to keep the newspaper at its present size. In order to publish a newspaper, however, it requires efforts of others as well as the newspaper personnel. A newspaper without community news falls short of being "complete". In order to publish community news it is necessary for the public to cooperate by sending or phoning in the news each week. Many communities are seldom mentioned because no one in the community is willing to assume the responsibility to write up the news each week. We need more correspoondents (responsible) who will show enough interest in their community to report to this newspaper each week. Fortunately we have some most faithful and reliable correspondents who have reported the news for years but we need more. Even two or three correspondents in a larger community often helps since it Is difficult for lone person to "cover" a large area. If you are willing to contribute toward a better newspaper and at the same time show your interest in your community contact this newspaper and we will instruct you what and how to report the news. Also, in order to maintain a newspaper it is necessary that merchants advertise. A newspaper is "your servant" and its services are available to the merchants to let the public know what they have to sell. The more advertising the better newspaper and the more business for the advertiser. It's very simple, isn't it! No newspaper can exist without advertising and few businesses can proper without advertising. This newspaper, in association with several other Western North Carolina newspapers, is blessed with a dedicated and efficient staff in Canton. The modern "offset" process offers our readers the very best in production and especially the printing of pictures. However, the cooperation of the public is even more important than the actual personnel and method of printing. We urge you to help us make this newspaper even better than it is. Don't be bashful about reporting your visitors, the sick, parties, socials, church activities, meetings, and any news from your community. That is what a newspaper is!

B. Ditmore and C. D. Bowman may be other- note of reproof and warning s ohi weU rm the characteristic of the prophetic onivone who's confused Mrs. messages surely we must also have been Impressed with the presence of redemptive truth contained therein ! God's chosen teachers repeatedly stressed the characteristics of a life that would be acceptable to God, and they fervently exhorted their fellow men tolive such a life. In Micah 6, verses 1-4, God is pictured eloquently as a loving but hurt Father, pleading to be told wherein He had failed His children. But His moving words were also designed to stimulate thought and reflection. The breaking of His laws, the rampant worshipping of idols, the turning away of the people all these were causing Him concern and pain. Where had He gone wrong? They had only to speak up and tell Him! That no one voice was raised in self defense was answer enough! True religious beliefs are dependent upon straight thinking and straight acting. In Micah 's day too many people forgot the discipline behind the offerings to be made to God and mistakenly came to look upon sacrifices as an end in them selves. Today we would call it bribery! Is it possible that some of us, today, are guilty of such thinking? Do we tithe for the right reasons, to give thanks for our bounties, to further His work in the world.. .or do we make our offerings only because we think it will make us stand tall in the eyes of God and of our fellow men? Micah made it very clear thatr the true basis of ac ceptance with God lay not in ritual observances, but in at titudestowards Him, towards ourselves, towards others. The twin virtues of justice and kidness towards others are indispensable to the God pleasing life. And they must be furthered by an ver -present sense of humility. This is true spiritual worship! For the man who walks humbly with God will be repentant for his sins, will be dependent upon Divine forgiveness, will be ap preciative of his many blessings. Trust and obedience go hand-in-hand in such a man, and he will be spurred to never ceasing effort throughout his life in God's behalf. None of these virtues are easily attained; they involve deep soul-searching and much inner conflict. Yet, if we are truly motivated to stand right with God, we will gladly confess our sins, humbly accept the consequence of our sinning, confident that God will temper justice with mercy. The measure of that mercy was the personificatkonof Christ on the corss. The Sinless One took upon His shoulders the sin of the world, and washed them clean with His own precious blood! To accept such a priceless gift without the response of total commitment would be the greatest sin of all! Dora Ramsey, who was honored on her 90th birthday at a reception Sunday, certainly didn't look her age. ..Mrs. Ramsey has always been such a friendly person and I've always admired her.. ..it was also nice to see Edna, Grace, Marie, Billie Grace and many other friends I hadn't seen in a long time there was quite a storm here Monday night. ..rain, lightning, wind, jet black clouds... sort a scary but no great damage done... .Jean, my secretary, got a varnishing notion here Monday and Tuesday and varnished just about everything In the office but me....I must admit, the desks and tables look much better. ...the heavy rains in recent days and nights have played havoc with our croquet court. ...also heard that, ex tensive water damage was experienced on Worley Cove and other sections of the county.. .gosh, I was real sorry not to be able to attend the Whitson-Chandler and the Br iggs-Costello wed dings.. .heard they were both just beautiful I know the brides were.. ..I've always been very fond of both Patty and Kathy....both fine girls and I'm sure they'll make wonderful wives. ...the library windows are always so attractive with various displays. ...they now have a "Pet Window" which is one of the best... go by and look at it you'll be glad you did. ...Doris Roberts, nutrition program aide with the Exten sion Dept., surprised me this week by bringing in a full grown tomato gosh, tomatoes aren't usually full grown until the middle of July, are they?.... anyway, Doris seems to know how to raise 'em early. ...the upper part of Roberts Hill Road is looking better all the time. ..I'm glad they're fixing a better appraoch to the Health Center, too A fm "de-Uttering" service is being offered to Madison .

SHUPE Paul I really pulled a good one today and I must tell you about it before I forget all about it. I have eaten by myself for quite some time now since Shupe is on the afternoon shift and I've had sardines, "killed lettuce and onions", and boiled ham sand wiches until I'm about turned into a pig. Today I decided I would have something I hadn't eaten for a while. I decided on fried chicken and biscuits made by me ! I put the chicken on to fry and when I started to make biscuits, I got my cookbook and saw where I needed ome bakjjig powder. I called Johnson's Grocery and David Caldwell answered, saying Bobby was gone with the only vehicle available but that he would bring me some baking powder as soon as Bobby got back. I continued cooking the chicken, watching the news in the meantime, and after about thirty minutes, with my oven very hot, my chicken grease getting very warm for my (yes, I know I shouldn't eat (gravy, I decided to call back for my baking powder. Bobby an swered and David hadn't even remembered me, so he quickly sent Jeter with my powder. I hadn't made biscuits in a long time and I enjoyed mixing the lard, baking powder, salt, and then the milk in the flour and soon had them in the stove. They didn't rise very high, but tasted pretty good with the gravy and I had a very nice fattening meal! I walked up to Aunt Julia Brigman's after I ate and was telling her and Nell Thomas about my meal and making biscuits and Nell said, "Didn't your flour already have the ingredients in it?" Well, bless my soul, I came home and sure enough, on the bag (at least I had it up in my cabinets and not near the cannister( was the words-SELF-RISING! Anyway, I'm the executive type and not a cook, so I thought you might like to hear about my recent try to cook "from scratch"! I wrote the above last Friday and yesterday (Monday) I tried a new en deavor. I got Charlotte's bicycle and rode over to the corner! And back! And this morning I am a little sore, but I think I will live through the day ! I've got to get rid of this extra poundage or Shupe will soon be wanting to "exhibit me"! Went over to Ruth's Beautytime yesterday and got all curled up, and had to thumb me a ride home. I thought I would burn up sitting on the benches at the courthouse, but after a few minutes good ole Jerry Caldwell came along in his new pretty blue Mustang and brought me home! Gee, girls, it had all the things you young ones love-radio, tape player, four-in-the-floor and all that stuff so wink at him the next time you see him and maybe he'll take you for a ride! OBSERVED Our world traveler Ruth Guthrie, will soon be taking off this year for Hawaii She really gets around Last year it was Europe We will miss Dennis Treadway and Roger Haynie who leave today for service Dennis has been kidding his mother about"This will be the last time I eat your cake" or do this or that she sent us some good cup cakes that she had made for him She said they had no calories but I thought they tasted just like all good ones! Guess I was wrong about Harold Bakers having two children graduating the Sharon Baker was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Baker Congrats, anyway, Sharon Sorry I didn't get to Mrs. Dora Ramsey's 90th birthday celebration Hope you have 90 more Think Teresa Johnson is really on the ball to be taking a beauty course while still in high school Have a good day!

In 1970, members of the Burlington plan had more than $3 million credited to their accounts. FROM PAGE ONE for home repairs of up to (250. Total funding for the Rural Development Program since 1966 has been $992,666. The Opportunity Corporation in Madison County conducts an emergency food and medical services program. This program reaches some 3,171 families. Funding for three years for this project has been $138,450. Madison County under the Opportunity Corporation has had a Rural Youth Project since 1969. At present there are 17 organized youth groups which stress recreation, crafts and job preparation. Money has been raised to buy equipment for young people to use on jobs. The youth conduct a weekly radio program on the Marshall radio station, and two of them have been hired by the station. Mars Hill College makes its facilities available to the Madison County low income youth on Saturdays for 24 weeks during the spring and summer. There are classes in cooking, sewing, crafts and arts, and use of the gymnasium. Some 230 young people take part. In this and other ways the con tributions of Mars Hill College to the anti-poverty program in Madison County have been very substantial. The lack of job qualifications among Madison County people was cited at the beginning of this article. Operation Main stream, which started in 1967, attempts to meet this need by taking unskilled workers and training them in carpentry and other trades and in the main tenance of sewer and water lines, trash disposal and general maintenance. The crews, which work under skilled foremen, thus furnish public services to Madison County in general and to the towns of Marshall, Mars Hill and Hot Springs, and to Madison County public schools. At present there are 30 trainees in Operation Main sream. They also receive basic adult education, since some of them are either illiterate or have very low education levels which would hamper future employment. ,Troy Gudger, director of Operation Main stream, says that the mountain trainees are very apt students and very anxious to earn their own way. Total funding of the project for four years has been 1365,000. How much has the Op portunity Corporation been able to help the isolated mountain people of Madison County and North Buncombe ; since 1966? One reliable witness Is former '' State Senator William Powell of Mars Hill. Powell is a present t hoard member of the Op ; portunity Corporation and- a : former board chairman who ' can be trusted to be objective. r He says now, "It has, helped a - great deal. I would say that almost every program has been a success. You can really see a difference now among the low income people In the county. The people have received the projects well, and there has been a minimum of bickerirg over personal differences. I think the Opportunity Cor poration has done a p - i job here." foods, red ribbon. First place winners are given a scholarship to cover their expenses to North Carolina 4-H Congress which will be held in Raleigh, July 26-30. Tommy DuVall will be competing for state honors in the tobacco demonstration. Entries in the talent contest were Susan DuVall, skit, and Robert Johnson, Harlon Rice, Tim Ramsey, and Cynthia Niles, band combo. Winners in the talent show will be an nounced later. "We are very proud of those 4 H'ers who attended the contest this year and we wish to thank the parents and friends who attended and assisted with the program," Gary Ealey stated. Book Notes LETTERS TO A NEW GERNATION: For Today's Inquiring Teen-Age Girl is just the book many of you have been waiting for. It is written by Gladys Denny Schultz who gave us LETTERS TO JANE a few years ago. To find the answers to questions and problems facing youth today this popular author sent questionnaires to the new generation itself -and the answers flooded in providing a cross section of what contemporary youth thinks about parents, drugs, and other topics. This book may be checked out from the Madison County Public Library at Marshall. 1 -fspf' J FOOD FOR THOUGHT Sugar Campbell says Progress solves one problem and presents another just a new link in the chain of life. Tea leaves have been used to reveal the future, but it takes a scandal sheet to tell the past. Experience is one commodity that always sells above par, but seldom pays dividends. The fellow who is smart enough to ask his friends for advice seldom needs it. Form your own opinions, but learn to understand the other fellow's point of view.
