State highway officials were present to explain the design, right-of-way requirements and procedures, and other pertinent information. What was so disappointing was the small crowd which showed up for the hearing Only 2;V30 persons were present. Not a single county official was there. Not a single civic club from Marshall or Mars Hill was represented. Not even an olfical of the Towns of Marsha 11 or Mars Hill were t h ere to endorse or op pose plans for this all important project Fortunately there were a few interested leaders who spoke in favor of the proposed design and en dorsed the project. There was no one at the meeting who opposed the project. This little showing of interest, however, must have been disappointing to state highway officails. Surely an improved and or partly relocated highway between Marshall and Mars Hill is of vital importance to the future of our county. At previous hearings the attendances have been large with much enthusiasm shown. Both towns, civic organizations and county officials have previously attended. Perhaps they underestimated the importance of last Thursday's hearing. Whatever the cause and effect, we are hopeful that the State and Federal officials will do everything possible to quicken this project so that the public will have a wider, safer and better high way between Marshall and Mars Hill. Attention, Mr. Merchant! It seems that between 30-40 Marshall merchants are willing to pay the annual fees to "belong" to the Marshall Merchants Association and then just stop at paying the annual dues. Most of these paying merchants must feel that they have done their duty by just paying the dues. The vast majority of them seldom, if ever, attend a meeting of the merchants. This is pathetic and inexcusable. As a rule, between 10-16 members, tabbed as "the faithful few", regularly attend meetings of the association and take an active part. Without these few loyal members who are interested in actual participation and planning, it is doubtful that Marshall would have any Christmas street decorations, Christmas Promotion, the annual Pageant, other special events, closing schedules and many other worthwhile projec ts which improve our town An example of this was clearly shown last Tuesday night when only 11 persons (not all mer chants) showed enough interest to attend a Mer chants Association meeting which had been publicized through the columns of this newspaper, over WMMH, by post card, by telephone, and by person-to-person contact. A vast majority of the so called "members" didn't care enough to attend even though it was time to elect new officers, discuss the Christmas decorations and other pertinent matters. The 11 "faithful few" discussed mutual problems of the town and aired the importance of an active association with active members. The ipeeting lasted two hours. However, it was decided that the absent members again be contacted and if they are interested in a Merchants Association, to attend a special meeting of the organization next tuesday night at 8 o'clock at the French Broad EMC Building. ! Next Tuesday, the future of the Association may tye decided by the interest and attendance at the meeting. ; ' Our town is too important and the future for all the merchants is too important to warrant such poor kttendance. EVERY MERCHANT WHO IS IN- fERESTED IN MARSHALL SHOULD ATTEND, or at least , designate someone t o represent his or her nisiness. Only through active participation and itjtendance can worthwhile things be accomplished. J Too many merchats k home and let the few who attend do all the plan ning and all the work which needs to be done. They Jtre willing to "ride on the coat tails" of a few merchants, to reap the benefits, and then criticize those who are trying to keep Marshall on the move. ; f In order to have an effective, active and progressive Association it is imperative that these merchants not only pay their annual dues but to . '.tend and take an active part in the welfare of our ' r n and community. 1 ' - - V.'c urg" you, Mr M."Th';nt fi 1 '"' Pxt , ' ay night.

It's time to look ahead, gardeners-spring flowering bulbs are hardy plants that require little care and they provide early color in your garden or yard at a time when few other plants are in bloom. In most areas, spring flowering bulbs should be planted in the fall so that roots can develop before the ground freezes, a U. S. Department of of Agriculture bulletin notes. Home and Garden Bulletin No. 136, called "Spring Flowering Bulbs,'' discusses selection of bulbs, planting, care of bulbs and forcing bulbs. Also, the 14 page publication hat charts showing how deep to plant bulbs and how high they normally grow. Pictures of some of these bulbs arc also Included. You can use bulbs anywhere b your garden and some make t xr-pllnnt flowering plants for indoor arrangement!. Planted outdoor, some arc best suited The Marshal chapter also won the traveling punch bowl for the next year for selling the most tickets per member on the State Finance Project.

En route home, they stopped in Charlotte to see the Appalachian-Davidson game; and then toured the Appalachian State University campus in Boone before retuning to Marshall late Saturday night. for border plants. Others should be grouped for large masses of color. Many of them can be scattered in lawns or planted among shrubs as ground cover. Some of the more uncommon bulbs mentioned are bluebills and squlls, oxalis, snowflake, winter aconite, snowdrop, anemone, and glory-of-the-snow. Now is a good time to spray those wild onions in your yard. Use the amine form of 2, 4-D according to directions on the container. Be careful and keep off of other nearby plants. The addition of some household detergent to the spray solution will make the treatment more effective. Use this treatment again in February or early March. It may require several years to completely get rid of the pest. Be sure and use a sprayer which will not be used 10 spray your garden, tobacco or tomato crop next summer. 2, 4-0 win not wash out of sprayer. Personal - Mention i ' Lt. George B.

I saw the beginning of Mod Squad where the girl picked up a blind man with a gun, and then turned over to see the Glen Campbell program where they are giving awards from some movie magazine. I am going to be through In time to see Gene KeUey's Funny Side. Do you like that? I think it is a cute program. Guess who I ran in to this morning at the post office? Charlie Jack Reeves! He was here visiting his parents and his mother was with him. He said he lives in South Carolina and has three children, the oldest a Junior in high school! He also said he reads the News Record, but most of the time he doesn't know the people that are mentioned because many of his old classmates have moved away or married and he doesn't know their new names. He looked good and I believe that South Carolina is agreeing with him. Oh, I got a card some time ago from Bruce E. Tipton from Spain. He had promised to write me from Paris, but guess Uncle Sam sent him there Instead. He wanted me to say "Hello" to all the pretty girls at Marshall High-so hello, all Marshall girls cause they are all pretty, Bruce. Bruce was with the class of '68 along with another Bruce Tipton who is now at Western Carolina, but he chose the Navy instead of College. Sandy Landers had a big time down at Carolina for the past week end. She got to see the Carolina-N. C. State game-and topped it all off by seeing James Taylor in Greensboro. Larry Leake was her host and they really had fun, she said. I don't know James Taylor, but the two girls that went with me to the Women's Democratic Con vention would swoon every time his name was mentioned, so guess he's well known by the younger set. Speaking of that convention, Debbie and Marilyn got to In 1913, the US had an air force officers and 91 enlisted men! Gtober P. M.
