EDITORIAL
What's Wrong,
We have always been an admirer of young
people. Since we do not have children of our own we
have turned our affection to other young people and
have enjoyed being associated with them for many
years. This writer has been associated with
youngsters in many capacities, including being
Scoutmaster in West Jefferson for several years,
District Boy Scout Camporee chairman; Methodist
Youth Fellowship leader in West Jefferson; BTU
Leader of Young People for several years in Mar
shall; Intermediate and Young People's Sunday
School teacher for many years here as well as being
closely associated with young people in the musical
field, having played the piano countless times for
socials, parties and dances. We like young people
and feel that they are responsible for our still feeling
"young" despite our age.
We still have the highest respect and optimism
for our teenagers. They're a wonderful group. That
is, with the exception of a few. To this few, we would
like to ask, "What's Wrong?"
Thank goodness, the large majority of our
teenagers are fine, respectable and law-abiding
boys and girls. But the minority group and we're
not calling names seems to disregard respect,
honor, and pride.
Those few who insist on reckless, careless
driving without regard for human life, including
their own, should stop and take inventory before
they become murderers or victims of their own
weaknesses. To make tires squeal and to "burn
rubber" on the highways is no way to prove you're a
good driver.
But even worse than reckless driving is the
growing habit of some teenagers (or in the early
20's) to carelessly fire .22-caliber pistol shots at
random. Recently, a window in a nearby restaurant
was shot through and the bullet finally stopped after
piercing a hole in a restaurant chair at a table.
Fortunately, it was late at night and no one was at
the table.
Recent "break-ins" and thefts have been
reported and public telephones in several locations
have been ripped loose from the telephone booths.
Just how long this trend will continue is
anybody's guess. If they are doing all this just for
"kicks", we suggest that these young people "grow
up" and become constructive rather than
destructive.
Season Passes At Mars Hill
Although baseball is still in full swing it really
isn't too early to start thinking about football and
basketball.
Every person, whether an ardent sports fan or a
luke warm sports fan, should take a little time off
from the daily grind and routine to enjoy an exciting
football game this fall high school and college.
Following the football season the major local in
terest in sports turns to basketball both high school
and college.
We are most fortunate to have fine high school
teams in our county and it is anticipated that the
athletic program in Madison County will become
much more exciting when the new consolidated
school is completed and the teams will represent the
entire county rather than the present individual
schools.
Even more fortunate to sports fans is that we have
top notch football and basketball at Mars Hill
College. The college's facilities for both football and
basketball have been greatly improved in recent
years and fans who love major sports need not have
to leave our own county to see top notch games.
We should support Mars Hill College by attending
every football and basketball game possible.
In order to attract more people in the county and
surrounding areas, Don Henderson, Athletic
Director, has announced that season tickets are now
available for only $15.00, including both football and
basketball. Anyone interested in purchasing these
season passes should contact Mr. Don Henderson,
Athletic Director, Mars Hill College, Mars Hill, N. C.
28754. Tickets may be ordered by mail or by per
sonal contact through the Athletic Office at Mars
Hill College. ; ;
As we have previously stated, baseball is still in
full swing and tne summer is far from over but
before you realize it, pigskins, . shoulder pads,
scrimmage sessions, band practice and majorettes
will be on the scene. ' -.."
Let's be ready for them and the games by getting a
season pass early. You can save money, too, believe
me. '

Pay for not working
Welfare for strikers
unfair labor practice
By PAUL HARVEY
When strikers while out on strike can collect assorted welfare
payments, hey now, isn't that kinda stacking the deck at the
bargaining table?
You talk about an "unfair labor practice"..!
Here we've had half a million telephone workers out, other
strikes against railroads, Western
Union, copper shipping, farm equipment...
And we're threatened by 350,000 steel
workers and 650,000 postal workers...
And statisticians show that strikes
last longer than they used to despite
streamlined bargaining procedures. No
wonder.
Strikers now get paid for not working.
Would you be in a hurry to go back to
work if you could stay idle and collect
food stamps, public assistance, other
benefits?
American labor unions have learned
to use welfare for leverage at the
bargaining table. They teach thier members all techniques for
securing public aid.
Working men who historically resent and resist having their tax
dollars diverted to freeloaders are themselves lining up at the
public trough.
Recently GE and GM were hit hard by long strikes. They have
been seeking a court test of this "unfair labor practice."
During the hundred and one days GE workers were out they
collected $30 million in food stamps, welfare checks, unem
ployment checks. Their union officials acknowledge that "public
aid played a major role in the success of the strike."
You contributed ten times more than the union contributed to
support the strikers.
When GM workers were out for ten weeks, striking auto
workers collected $12 to $14 million of federally financed food
stamps in addition to payments for dependent children or for
"general assistance," as Michigan calls it.
Other major strikes have ballooned welfare rolls in the areas
affected.
One comprehensive study of this five-acres deal has been
conducted by the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Herbert Nor
throp who conducted that study concluded, "the use of public aid
in strikes.. .is becoming a significant welfare cost and it.. .makes
strikes longer and settlements higher."
He says, "I don't want anybody to starve, but collective
bargaining can't work unless a strike hurts both sides."
Yet even the Supreme Court refuses to touch this sensitive
subject. There is some debate in Congress over this federal-state
subsidy to strikers, but Congress is intimidated.
Senator Barry Goldwater says, "Welfare is a Frankenstein
monster which we created and over which we now have lost
control."
Not counting Social Security, there are 13 million Americans
just on federal relief rolls. Another million will be added to those
rolls by the end of this year.
What elected offical dares to turn his back on a solid bloc of 14
million votes?
Paul Harvey, how come you do? Because somebody has to !

Farmers who see tobacco in
their fields which appears to be
drowned should investigate
further to make certain it is not
black shank. Black shank is the
dread disease of tobacco. It first
starts to wilt then turns yellow.
After this, the stalks turn a
sooty black. If the stalk is split
with a knife, the pith will be
separated into disks. The plants
will eventually die. This disease
is very easily spread just by
tracking mud from one field to
another. There is no treatment.
There are several good
resistant varieties which can be
grown. If possible the diseased
field should be seeded to grass
and left for a few years. Contact
your Agricultural Extension
Office for more details.
Cool, wet weather is the ideal
condition for outbreaks of late
blight in tomatoes. This disease
never occurs in fields which
have a good cover of manzate.
Therefore, it is extremely
important that you follow a five
day spray schedule using
manzate under normal weather
conditions. It may be necessary
to spray more often to eliminate
this disease if the rainy weather
continues.
Rainy day.. .sunny day.. .any
day for fun day a craft day.
Children by themselves or
with mother's help, teen groups
of all kinds enjoy making
creative crafts using inex
pensive items probably already
around the house. You can
starch, mold, paste and dye to
make gifts. Jewelry, games,
items for the fair, decorations
let your Imagination wander for
creative and original effects.
A CRAFTY CRAFT
Bracelets Bend an eight to
ten inch wire into circle large ;
enough to slip over wrist. Wrap
with bandage gauze dipped into
starch paste. Coat with extra
paste and cover with tiny pieces
of colored tissue paper. Allow to
dry. To make bracelets from
string, start with lengths cut
long enough to circle wrist at
least twice or about 18 inches
long. Dye string colorful
shades. When dry, dip into
starch paste and wrap around a
bottle of size desired, wrapping
one length after another and
tucking ends in. Dry on bottle.
ALFALFA SEEDING
It is time to begin preparation
for seeding new alfalfa crops so
that stands will be well
established before cold
weather. Cherokee, William
sburg, Team, and Weevelchek
are varieties that yield well in
this area.
Most soils will require from 1
3 tons of lime per acre; 500-1000
pounds of superphosphate per
acre should be applied prior to
seeding unless soil tests in
dicate otherwise. Fertilization
at planting should consist of 800
1000 pounds of 2-12-12 or its
equivalent and 20-35 pounds of
agricultural borax per acre.
Seeding rates should be about
20-25 pounds of seed per acre.
Application should be made
with a cuttipacker equipped
with a seeding attachment or a
cyclone seeder. Inoculation is
required for good alfalfa stands,
but it is often hindered by
climatic conditions. Inoculum
should be applied liberally
using water and syrup or
molasses 19 parts water and 1
part syrup or molasses) as a
sticking agent.
For weed control, use one-half
gallon of Eptam per acre. It
should be applied immediately
before or at the time of tiding.
It should be worked into the soil
thoroughly at a depth of 44
inches.'

Lesson
FAMILY ROLES
AND RELATIONSHIPS
International Sunday School
Lesson for Aug. 1
MEMORY SELECTION: Be
subject to one another out of
reverence for Christ".
lEphesians 5:21 1
LESSON TEXT: Exodus 20: 12;
Ephesians 5.21 to 6:4.
In earlier lessons we have
studied Christian respon
sibility in the areas of
government and civil law. Our
last lesson in July dealt with the
whys and wherefores of the
foundation of family life, and
today's lesson centers,
specifically, on family roles and
relationships within the
framework of the family.
The family unit was ordained
by God Himself, and in the
Scriptures His plan for a God
oriented family life run like a
bright thread throughout the
Bible, providing spiritual
guidance for us in every
situation known to man. It is
somewhat notable, indeed, that
the Fifth Commandment
"Honor thy father and thy
mother, that thy days may be
long upon the land which the
lord thy God fciveth thee"
holds a unique position in itself;
for it is a bridge between the
first four Commandments
(which concern themselves
with man's responsibility
towards God, and the last
five ...which refer to his social
relationships It is also the
commandment which carries
promise.
No institution can survive
without a firm foundation, and a
strict observance of the rules
and regulations laid down to
protect its very existence. In
this regard the family unit is
particularly vulnerable, for it is
made up of individuals of dif
ferent and varying tem
peraments and capacities.
While today th' average
family unit is more compact
than it was in Biblical times, it
has also become, somewhat
paradoxically, more fluid. It
certainly is subject to vastly
differing stresses and strains.
The basis of a God-oriented
family life, however, remains
unchanged throughout the ages.
The old-fashioned virtues of
obedience, faithfulness, kind
ness and consideration one for
the other, will carry the family
unit safely through whatever
storms may beset it
As those verses of our lesson
which lie in Ephesians testify.
Paul continually found a
parallel between husband and
wife, Christ and the Church.
Christ loved the Church, and
His life exemplified that love
For it. He found no sacrifice too
great. In the same way, the
husband should love the wife,
and the wife the husband; in so
doing, they would find it
possible to sustain the children,
and the children, in turn, would
render obedience and respect
unto their parents
Such an ideal family
relationship cannot be acquired
without continuing effort on the
part of each member, an equal
assumption of individual
responsibilities. No easy task,
it will, however, be made
considerably lighter if the
concepts of Christian beliefs are
firmly implanted in the early
days of the establishment of the
home.
The establishment of a tune
set aside daily for family
worship will keep each in
dividual keenly sensitive to the
needs of others, and provide a
means of daily communion with
God which will sustain them,
spiritually, throughout the day.
How badly this assurance is
needed today!

M&tHT OF A
Just
Took a little trip the other day
over to Etowah to see Ted and
Ruth Davis while Shupe was at
work and had a good time. Their
son, Buddy, was home from
service en route to Korea, and
we got to see pictures of Ronnie,
his wife and cute daughters,
who live nearby, but I didn't get
to see my good buddie, Pansy
Bailey, but I'll see you next trip,
girl.
After a good chicken supper,
as only Ruth can prepare, they
had some friends in to play
mountain music. The group was
the Blue Ridge Mountain
Players Heaven help me if
that is wrong and they
recently played up in Canada
and have won many trophies In
WNC events. They were par
ticipating that week in the
Waynesville festival. I could
write a book about my visit to
the Davis', but I've been other
places too, and will catch up on
my report to you.
Charlotte came home last
weekend and wanted me to go
back with her, so I hopped into
my car and off we took. I got to
meet many of her new friends
she had made down there and
also visited my cousin, Norma
Jean Arledge and her family of
nice husband and three
adorable children, It wasn't too
hot down in Winston-Salem, but
the first day was a corker. The
Letters To Editor
Dear Mr. Story:
We were shocked and em
barrassed at the article last
week concerning Mrs. Anne
Burr Is, our mother and grand
mother. Mrs. Burris was in a nursing
home receiving proper care,
including medical attention,
trips to a beauty salon and
picnics on week-ends.
Her present keepers took it
upon themselves to take her
away from this situation, for
cably and make her their
responsibility by taking her out
of the state of North Carolina.
Since various members of the
family have been forbidden to
visit under threat of peace
warrants we would appreciate
it if anyone knowing that her
Social Security benefits are not
being used solely for Mrs.
Burrises' care reporting it to
the proper authorities. Any
members of the family would be
more than glad to take
responsibility for Mrs. Burris's
care.
Sincerely,
Distraught members
of the Burris Family
Editor's Note: The above
letter is being published
because I was asked last week
to publish an article about Mrs.
Burris by Mrs. Glennis Safko.
Since this "evens up" the
opinions, this newspaper will
refrain from future comments
concerning this family dispute.

We were in formation and they
