County Food Distribution
Center To Change Locations
The Madiaon County Food
Distribution Center will soon be
ha new location in Marshall, it
ms announced this week by
toward Ogle, supervisor.
The food distribution center,
vw located in the Mash bum
Building at the upper end of
Main Street here, will be moved
to the former Sprinkle-Shelton
Wholesale Building at the in
tersection of Main and Upper
Bridge Street here. The
building, now being remodelled,
has for many months been used
as a pool hall and recreation
center.
The change of location was
recommended by Jay P. Davis,
Director N. C. Department of
Agriculture, Food Distribution
Division, Raleigh, for several
valid reasons. One of the main
reasons for the change is that
the new location will be more
convenient for recipients who
will not have to climb stairs and
it will also alleviate blocking
Main Street by food transfer
trucks. AH this adds up to
"better service for the
recipients", Mr. Ogle stated.
The change of locations has
been endorsed wholeheartedly
by USDA, who heads the
commodity foods program.
A 5-year lease has ben signed

Team,
Not many local fans traveled
to Waynesville last Thursday
night to See the Marhall Tor
nadoes battle the Tuscola "B"
team but those wo did go were
glad they did. They saw the
Tornadoes defeat a real good
team composed of Mountaineer
(Class AAA) players except for
the first team.
The two teams were about
even in weight and well
coached. The big difference was
In desire, ability, rugged
defense and what is commonly
referred to as "guts". The
Tornadoes were vicious on
defense with the front line
limitiag 0e host to only 4 net

there will be no additional cost
to the taxpayers due to the
change.
Mr. Ogle stated that tran
sferring of food will begin
September 28 and the new setup
will be ready for service by
October 1.
The Commodity Food
Program has been in operation
here for many years and the
1970-1971 report reveals that
Madison County schools
received $39,194 worth of foods
and needy families received
$452,370.00 worth of foods for a
total of $491,564.00 for the '70-71
year.
It was further stated that
approximately 2,600 Madison
County persons receive com
modity foods per month under
Girl Scout Day
Set For Sept. 25
Girl Scout Day will be held at
Grandfather Mountain on
Saturday (Sept. 25), with all
gate proceeds that day to be
donated to the Girl Scout Pisgah
Council which is comprised of 16
Western North Carolina
Counties.
It will mark the first time in
the history of the famed
mountain attraction that an
entire day's proceeds will be
contributed to such an
organization.
Grandfather Mountain has
decided to single out the girl
scouts for its initial donation
day because of the
organization's interest and
work in the conservation of
natural beauty. Preservation of
nature always has been of
prime importance in both the
founding and subsequent
operation of Grandfather
Mountain as a ha ven for visitors
seeking the many enjoyments
and delights derived from
observing raw nature.
All Girl Scouts, regardless of
their troops' council mem
bership, will be admitted to the
scenic mountain attraction free
of charge on Girl Scout Day
upon display of their mem
bership cards or by being in
uniform. Scouts from within the
council area, will work at the
Grandfather Mountain entrance
gate on the special day.
Grandfather Mountain is
located in Avery County, which
is the northeastern most county
in the Pisgah Council area.

Will Be Shown-
In Asheville
A color film of the entire
APOLLO 12 mission will be
shown on four occasions in the
Exhibition Room of Pack
Memorial Public library. On
the same program a selection of
color slides of moon rocks and

given on Tuesday, September 21
at 3:30 pjn., on Monday, Sep
tember 27 at 8 pjn., and on
Friday, October 1 at 3:30 and 8
p.m.
The Apollo 12 film, documents
the entire mission from blast off
to return. It includes still and
motion pictures taken on the
mission and they are vastly
superior to those, shown during
the television coverage of the
event. Apollo 12 took place in
November of 1969 and was the
second manned visit to the
moon.
This was the mission on which
the TV camera was pointed into
the sun which burned it out, so
there were no live pictures
transmitted to earth. The film
shows the astronauts collecting
rock samples, a specimen of
which ison exhibit in - Asheville
at the Colbura Mineral Museum
from September 20-15 and
September 29 through October
3. The film was produced for
NASA and ls being made
available for these showings by
Congressman Roy A. Taylor
who gives a filmed introduction
to the movie.
The color slides are on ban
from Mr. Carter Hudgins of
Marion, who has written an
authoritative narrative
description of the slides, which
will be 'read by John Bridges,
wtoismchargeof the program.
The event is open td the public
without charge and is sponsored

Khrushchev Is
Buried Simply
"There were few people who
were Indifferent to him. There
were many who loved him.
There were many who hated
him. But few could pass him by
without looking his way."
With those words spoken by
his son, Nlkita S. Khrushchev
was laid to rest on Monday in a
simple grave at Novodevichy
Cemetery next to an old
monostery in Moscow. About
300 mourners looked on.
Absent was the pomp that
Khrushchev commanded
during his 11 years aspremler of
the Soviet Union and chief of its
Communist party.
The man whose word was
once law in the Kremlin was
buried in a wooden coffin and
practically ignored by the men
who toppled him from power
seven years ago.
The only official
acknowledgemnts of Khrush
chev's death on Saturday were
a one-paragraph announcement
on the front page of Monday's
Pravda and a funeral wreath
sent by the Communist Party
Central Committee and the
Council of Ministers.

Controversy
Over Baptism
ls Brewing
A controversy over baptism is
brewing among North
Carolina's one million Baptists.
Meetings are being held this
week in some areas of the state
to lay the groundwork for a
possible showdown at the
North Carolina Baptist State
Convention meeting in
Charlotte Nov. 22-24.
The debate concerns im
mersion. Conservative leaders
believe that all Baptist chur
ches would require every
membr to be baptized by im
mersion. Some of the more liberal
leaders hold that individual
churches should have the right
to accept members who have
been baptized by other means.
Some ot the state's largest
churches could be excluded
from membership in the
convention if the conservatives
prevail. This already has
happended in some county
Baptist associations.
Three Mecklenbury churches,
Myers Park Baptist, St. John's
and Wedgewood, have been
ousted because of their open
policy on baptism. They accept
new members without baptizing
them by immersion if they have
been baptized previously by
another method.

Reasons For Reliming
Cited By Ramsey
There are several reasons for
reliming farmland according to
Ralph Ramsey, County ASCS
Director. He cited reasons as
inadequate applications in the
past to meet soil requirements,
erosion, leaching, crop removal
and the application of acid
farming fertilizers.
Erosion losses, whether by
water or wind are greater under
a continuous cropping system
than they are in a three to five
year rotation of grasses and
legumes. Leaving the crop
residue, establishing a
protective winter cover or
applying manure helps reduce
erosion losses in continuous
cropping systems.
Leaching occurs by per
culation down through the soil.
The Amount of plant food
minerals, including calcium
and magnesium, lost by
leaching varies by the fertility
or PH levels, the cropping
system followed and the amount
of rainfall. The more water that
falls on the soil, the more the
loss of minerals through run off
or underground streams. Tests
conducted in one state showed
leaching occurred to a depth of
about six feet in the older

Ramsey stated that any and
all farm operators in Madison
County who have land which is
eligible and needs lime may
now make application and
secure government cost sharing
on the purchase of agricultural
limestone for fall use. He ei
plained that soil testing is
recommended but is not longer
mandatory under this year's
Rural Environmental
Assistance Program. In the
absence of a soil test, the far
mer may use two tons of lime
per acre on land which has not
been limed during the last five
years and one ton per acre on
land that was limed in 1967 or
1968. Eligible land includes
fields which are now devoted to
grasses and-or legumes or those
which will be planted to grasses
and-or legumes this fall or
during the year of 1972.
In conclusion, Ramsey stated
that the fall season is the most
ideal time to apply limestone

Venezuelan equine en
cephalomyeletls is a highly
fatal virus disease of horses,
ponies, and mules. It also af
fects other animals and
humans.
VEE is normally spread by
biting insects with mosquitos
being the most common method
of spread. It can also be carried
by approximately 90 other
species of animals which causes
its control to be very difficult.
The Department of Defense
has developed a very effective
vaccine against VEE. A
massive vaccination program
was started when the outbreak
of VEE waa confirmed in Texas
and later extended to the other
extremely southern states,
although the disease has not
been confirmed outside Texas.
The vaccine is considered very
safe, with side effects
noticeable in ieas than 5 per cent
of the horses vaccinated when
worked normally. Scientists
who have worked with VEE tell
as that the disease Is almost
certain to spread up the
Mississippi Valley and through
the Atlantic Coast states this
