This is especially true if a vehicle is coming toward you and the headlights strike you in the face. The highway markings are dull and the so-called "island" at the intersection is even duller and hard to see. Numerous persons have commented about this poorly marked intersection. It's been fortunate that no serious accidents have occurred at this dangerous turn-off. There is one thing for certain and that is the turn-off should be better marked and the "island" illuminated. We ask the highway department to make this needed improvement. Sportmanship Of Fans We heard a friend of ours say this week that the Mars Hill-Marshall football game was the "cleanest" played game he'd seen in years. He also remarked that the spectators on both sides of the field were well behaved and showed fine sport smanship. We agreed with him and told him behavior at ball games had greatly improved during the past few years. As has always been the case, however, there are a few fans not players who seem to get great delight in cursing, agitating and even fighting at ball games. These few fans, it would seem had rather cause trouble than to watch a game peacefully and orderly. We have no objections to any fan yelling and encouraging his favfcrite team to greater 'things. This marks a true fan, an interested fan and spec tator. He has paid his money to see the game and so long as he is unobjectionable and doesn't use profane or vulgar language or taunt other spectators, he has a perfect right to exercise his emotions and vocal cords. After all, a game is a game and played as such jvith each team trying for victory. One team must Win and one team lose. Sometimes, however, a team can "lose" although it wins the game. A team's honor, reputation and pride ride on every play and every game. The same can be said of spectators. We were glad to see fine sportsmanship shown at the Mars Hill-Marshall game. This, however, was not the case at Cane River. The players played hard and clean and there was no noticeable trouble among the players from either team. However, there was spectator upheaval, especially at halftime. Numerous fist fights broke out involving both Marshall and Cane River fans. This was most unfortunate. No serious damage was done but the very sight of grown men fighting like small boys might do over name-calling was un necessary. Even when a chain-carrier is on duty, he is an official just as the referee, headlinesman or umpire. It was mighty poor judgment of one of the officials to enter into a session of name-calling, heckling and cursing during the course of the game. Certainly, an official should ignore remarks from spectators. On "the other hand, there is nothing to gain by a spectator taunting an official by insinuations and uncouth remarks. Nothing but trouble can result from such actions. But even worse than these brawls, in our opinion, was the conduct of some of the younger Cane River fans presumably of high school age. Some of the profane, vulgar and dirty language heard from some of the youths was disgusting and revolting. It was evident that many of teenagers had been drinking something stronger than water, milk, tea or soft drinks. This is a shame and disgrace. We sincerely hope that we never hear such language or see such actions in Marshall as we did at Cane River last Friday night. By POP Last Friday night I saw a different looking football team from the one which lost to Mars Hill in the final minute a week earller....the Tornadoes looked potent, both on offense and defense.... the blocking has improved... the passing and punting much better and the overall play of all the boys vastly improved.. .here's hoping they can keep up the momen tum against Boones Creek and the rest of their op ponents.... was really amused at Cane River when with four minutes left in the game and everyone was tense, pretty little Carolyn Ramsey, daughter of Mrs. Carol Ramsey and the late Caney Ramsey, Jr., asked one of Marshall's cheerleaders, "How many more innings are there to play?"...."Bill" and I stopped by Buck's Restaurant in Mars Hill en route to Cane River and ordered two piz zas.. ..they were delicious.... if you want a real aood Disza I recommend Buck's...Monday night was also an exciting night for Bill and me. ...Overton and Ruth Gregory secured tickets to the Lawrence We lk show in the new and spacious coliseum in Knoxville and invited us to go with them . ..which, of course, we did....we had a wonderful time and the show as magnificent, great, thrilling, beautiful and any other ad jective one can think of.... we had good seats and enjoyed every minute of it.. ..needless to say, the music and dancing were grand.. ..glad someone trimmed the grass and weeds beside the ASCS Building where I park... don t know who did It, but "thanks"... .the Roberts Hill Road has been blacktopped to the top and it Is a vast im provement.... just hope the blacktop can be continued from the top to US 25-70 near the Health Center.... Just A Woman's Observations By DOROTHY BRIGMAN SHUPE Sunday Aug. 22 started like any other Sunday morning for Dr. and Mrs. Arthur F. Williams. After the usual preparations at home listening to another Presbyterian preacher, Dr. Bruce Dunn, over the radio, they arrived at the Presbyterian Church, of which Dr. Williams is pastor, at their usual time of 9:45. To their surprise there was parked in front of the church a car bearing license plates issued in the Cleveland, Ohio, area. When they went inside the church they found the reason for the car. Sitting in the Sunday School assembly was a friend, Mrs. Carl Smith, whose husband has his own radio broadcasting tower and has been Involved in assisting Christian radio stations around the world, such as HCJB in Ecuador and Far East broadcasting in the Phillip-pines. introduced We have spent the last two afternoons getting a dog house made and a fence around that for our new puppy. Yesterday, Shupe made her a dandy house and she only cried a little bit when we put her in it for the night. This afternoon, we fixed a fence around the house and after we came inside I stood for about 30 minutes watching what she would do. She would run from her food dish, to her water, then try to get out, then into her house and then start it all over again! About the time she would get settled, Shupe or Charlotte would come into my room and the noise would disturb Sam and out of her house she would come and study the situation all over again. I got tired standing so long and finally decided I'd better come to my typewriter and write this letter to you or you would be angry because you hadn't found out what made my week go by! Well, Dennis Treadway got home last Friday afternoon and his mother and Jeff were very happy and all tof us welttoo. He came up one night and gave us a blow by blow description of his adventures in the Navy boot training. He has such an amusing twist to the tihings he tells that one can just sit and listen to him for hours at a time ! His explanation of how he washes his cap with tooth paste is really something! Roger Haynie got home last week too, for a few days leave before going into training to be a military policeman. He came by for a minute last Friday afternoon with Gary Sprinkle and Larry Leake, and he looks good and says he is getting along fine with the Army. I also heard that Malcolm Reeves is to get home this weekend and will be through with his hitch in the Marines. Gee, our boys are doing their duty in all branches of the service. Boy, didn't our football team do well in their game against Cane River last Friday? We are really enthused about their win and hope it is an indication that they are going to be on the winning side from here on out. I Just hope they come along with the same spirit and vigor as they meet Boones Creek this Friday night. I have to be on the gate, so come on over and help cheer them on to victory! OBSERVED Looking for ward to seeing Phyllis Niles becoming a bride this Sunday afternoon, know she will be beautiful Haven't been by to see little Timothy Brad Landers who arrived last week Shupe went by to see how grandparents, Claude and Frelda, were making out He kenw the patents were doing all right Charlotte had some friends up from Winston-Salem on Sunday and we went over to Frontierland, then to Gatlin burg, Newport and on home They had two cute little children, aged 2 and 4 years old I just love my freshmen very much this year, will be telling you more about them as time goes on Looking for Pearl and Bob to come to visit us this weekend Hope to go see Cully play at Asheville next weekend One of these days I'm going to just rest Have a good day! Mrs. Smith then her friend, Miss Edith Drake, a lady who had spent 20 years prior to 1968 as a Presbyterian Missionary in Southwest Asia, serving in Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan. The last three years Miss Drake, who has been supported by her home Presbyterian church in Cleveland, has been in this country furthering her education. While securing her Master's Degree in Christian Education at Columbia University she has been teaching in Harlem. Obviously, her talking of missionary experiences was a welcome change of pace for the Women's Bible Class as they listened to her during the Sunday School hour. Then she, Mrs. Smith and Mrs Williams went to the sanctuary for the morning worship service. About this time Keveh Sepanta, a native of Iran who is presently a guest at Mrs. Bessie Lee Penland's "Balsam Tourist Home," was about to leave with Mrs. Penland to attend the Presbyterian morning service. The personable young man has spent the last two years in this country completing his education. Last year he at tended Berea College but transferred to Western Carolina University at Cullowhee this 'summer so. as to attend school Jthere this fKll. i John Reid, of Marshall, who graduated in 1970, was back at the school on a visit and met Mr. Sepanta. He suggested that he come to Marshall and visit until Sept. 16 when WCU starts. Thus Mr. Sepanta, a native of Iran, is Servicemen Navy Chief Petty Officer Joseph L. Norton, grandson of Mr. and Mrs. R. Lee Wallin of Rt. 4, Marshall has reported for duty at the Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Fla. Extension News Phone 649-2491 Home Economics 4-H . Lettuce keeps crisp longer when the core is removed Mid the head kept in lUown con tainer. Remove the cor by Kill Johnsongrass after cutting silage. Dalapon can be used for the control of John songrass rhizomes up to about mid-September. D. M. Gossett, University of Tennessee Agronomist, says it may be possible to spray the grass after harvesting a crop such as corn silage. Dalapon should be applied when the grass is 8 to 12 inches high, the temperature is above 70 deg. and soil moisture is adequate for Johnsongrass growth. In late September, Johnsongrass will become dormant due to cool weather. Use dalapon at the rate of eight to ten pounds of com mercial product per acre. At least 25 gallons of water should be used in order to insure adequate plant coverage. TRADING STAMP SALES DOWN The trading (tamp industry's total volume of stamps told dropped from I860 million in 1966 to 1789 million last year, a decline of 8.8 per cent The largest of 200 or so U.S. com panies la the stamp business is Sperry 4 Hutchinson. It depends on food stores for about 55 per cent of its stamp about 41 per cent of all food chains were issuing trading stamps and by the end of 1970 the number of stores declined to 31 per cent. Source: Business Week, 3-20-71 Food shoppers will be in terested in knowing that President Nixon's freeze does permit retailers to charge a price equal to the highest price any item was being sold for during the 30 days before the president announced his new policy. Example: if coffee fluctuated between 90 cents and 81.10 per pound, the grocer could charge $1.10, but no more until Nov. 12. Source: UPI All soups and stews freeze well, except those containing diced potatoes or macaroni (which are apt to be soggy when the dish defrosts). So omit them from your recipe cook and add just before serving a guest of Mrs. Penland and attends church with her, as they did last Sunday. Following the service the Iranian and the Missionary to Iran were brought face to face for the first time despite the many years they had both spent in Iran. Although of Muslin background he had accepted Christ as his Saviour while in his native land due to Christian Missionary Enterprise in that land. They spent an interesting 15 20 minutes together chatting about his homeland and places familiar to both. Some of the conversation even being in his native tongue. Later in the afternoon before they left to return to Cleveland, Miss Drake and Mrs. Smith went with the Williamses to Mrs. Penland's for another brief visit. It was an interesting coin cidence that these two people with so much in common, both many hundreds of miles from their homes, should meet in Marshall on this occasion.
