November 25, 1971 VOLUME70 NUMBER l.t"'i At- ATTRACTIVE THANKSGIVING window is that of the Variety Shop on Main Street in Marshall. The arrangement was made by Mrs. Jerry Rice, Sr., owner. State Supervision Of Welfare Boosted The chairman of the state Board of Social Services wants the present "inefficient and wasteful" local welfare ad ministration replaced by a state-administered system. John Jordan told the North Carolina Social Services Association that the present plan for county administration of welfare under state super vision "is an impossible system to operate efficiently. "Many counties are doing a fine job but others are doing an inferior Job of administering these (welfare) programs and this creates an unequal op portunity for the citizens of this state to avail themselves of these services," Jordan declared. He said the Board of Social Services and Gov. Bob Scott favor principle of state ad ministration of welfare programs. Jordan said Scott did not ask state administered plan into effect because the governor did not feel it was the proper time since welfare reform legislation that would greatly affect the welfare programs was pending in Congress. "This issue is not dead I can assure you," Jordan told the social workers, "and the state board will pursue this move in "MAN WITH 40,000 SWEETHEARTS" is Donald Stines, Madison Grill owner. Presenting Mr. Stines with a colorful wall plaque is Mrs. Peggy Cutshaw. vice president of Beta Omega Chapter, sponsors of the annual award. Stines Chosen 'Man With 40,000 Sweethearts' Donald Stines, Marshall restaurant owner, is a man with a rather enviable title. He is a "Man with 40,000 Sweethearts." It's official, too. At the November social Saturday night of Marshall's Beta Omega chapter of ESA International here, Stines received a colorful wall plaque proclaiming him to have just such a following of admirers. The presentation was made by Beta Omega chapter vice president, Mrs. Peggy Cutshaw. "We hope to make the special award an annual event," M rs. Cutshaw explained. "Each year we plan to honor some man in the community who has helped the chapter ki some way or who hat done something outstanding for the community, nation or mankind. "It's just a way for us to show our appredation,H she added. ' Mr. Stines was given the award for helping the Beta the very near future." North Carolina, Jordan said, needs a system that will provide the incentive for each individual to achieve his full potential for self-support and not make him dependent on public aid." "At the same time," he said "this new system must insure that persons who are ineligible will not be declared eligible." Jordan, a Raleigh attorney, said President Nixon's welfare reform plan now pending in Congress "will not solve North Carolina'w welfare problems by adding an estimated 600,000 more recipients to the welfare rolls. This would quadruple the welfare rolls in North Carolina. "In the long run," he said, "the Nixon plan will be far more expensive than the present plan." The Nixon plan is a proposed cure that is worse than the disease itself, " rdari added. "Then why is the federal government stepping in and taking over public assistance? It is because the states have failed to properly do that job themselves." Mrs. James Story represented the Madison County Department of Social Services at the one-day meeting held in Raleigh on Friday. Omega chapter in its organization. He allowed the group to hold its monthly meetings in his dining room and did not charge them any rent for its use. This was a gracious deed because the chapter was newly organized and was lacking in funds. The worldwide women's organization is popularly known as the "sweetheart sorority" since its headquarters are at loveland; Col. ESA has nearly 40,000 members in 1,700 chapters throughout the United States and in such foreign lands as Austrailia, Peru, and Holland. Philanthropy is one of the organisation's primary In terests. During the year Beta Omega Is concentrating Its efforts toward such worthy causes as Madison County band uniforms, St. Jade's Hospital, Human Growth, Inc March of ' Dimes, and the Heart Fund. Draft Deferments May Be Dropped In Favor Of 1-A Young men who wish to drop draft deferments in favor of 1-A classifications may still do so. Local boards will continue to grant these requests even though the young men continue to meet the conditions for which the deferments were granted. Six categories are included: 1-S, .ligh school students; 2-A, oc cupational deferments or vocational-technical students; 2-C, agricultural deferments; 2 D, divinity students; 2-S, un dergraduate college students; and 3-A, hardship deferments. This policy was instituted in late 1970 and was of particular interest to young men with random sequence (lottery) numbers above the highest RSN called for induction. By drop ping their deferments at the end of the year, they became part of that year's prime selection group. On January 1, they were placed in a second priority year -end ceiling for 1971 draft calls. Unlike 1970, when the Bloodmobile Here Next Tuesday Residents in the Marshall area on Tuesday, November 30, will once again have the op portunity to make blood donations to the American Red Cross.

MHC Lions Win From Tusculum Sophomore Jerry Mayes sank nine shots from the floor and eight from the free throw line Thursday as Mars Hill College opened its 1971-72 cage season with a 75-69 victory over Tusculum College. The Lions led by as much as 13 points in the early part of the second half but the Pioneers, sparked by Earl Monroe and Gary Edwards, stormed back and pulled to within two late in the game. Hayes, however. hit on two free throws to pad the margin and preserve the win. Mars Hill led the battle of the boards 47-37 and this factor together with an early one-and-one situation in the second half provided the win for the Lions. Hayes led all scorers with his 26 points. Also in double figures for the victors were former Lee Edwards star Rod Johnson and Jim Medford, ex Erwin star, with 15 and 11 respectively. Hayes claimed 14 rebounds for the winners while Medford had 10. Monroe led the Pioneers with 13 while Edwards and Paul Minton had 12 apiece.

Because of this, they are not subject to induction until the manpower supply in the first priority selection group is exhausted; a development likely only if a major national emergency occurs. The policey was reaffirmed in a Iiical Board Memorandum sent this week by Draft Director Curtis W. Tarr to all 4,000 local draft boards. Registrants who desire to take advantage of the policy in 1971 must have been born in 1951 or earlier, have RSN's of 126 or above, and not be a member of the extended priority selection group. Moreover, they must submit their request in writing. To be considered as part of the 1971 prime selection group, the requests must be postmarked no later than December 31. RSN 125 has been set as the year-end ceiling was not necessarily reached by all local boards, the authorization in the 1971 draft amendments of a Completing 1971 REAP Practices And Looking To 1972 Farmers with approval for 1971 Rural Environmental Assistance Program practices -should keep in mind that to be cost-shared with the Govern ment the practices should be completed as soon as possible, according to EmorxRobtnson, Chairman of Madison County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service Com mittee. Regulations require that the practices be complete and performance reported by Dec. 31, he said. In emphasizing the end-of-year deadline, Mr. Robinson also pointed out that a recent release by the U. S.

If young men meet these criteria, but are not inducted during 1971, their liability for induction will be extended into 1972. They will be prime can didates for induction during the first three months of the year along with other men who are now in the extended priority selection group. Commenting on the con tinuation of the policy which allows the dropping of defer ments, Dr. Tarr said: "Young men holding lottery numbers of RSN 125 and above can ef fectively limit their vulnerability to the draft by being classified into 1-A by the year's end. Since the law allows young men to apply for deferments, we believe those Program (REAP) at $140 million, 10 million under the H50 million for 1971. - REAP funds are used in Madison County and other Counties throughout the Nation to share costs with farmers who establish' environmental and conservations practices with long-term soild and water benefits. "Hie two national guideline themes for 1972 REAP are to remain the same as for 1971: stopping soil from washing into streams and lakes, and im proving the quality of the en vironment.

Producers who have farm interests tai more than one community may young men granted deferments should be able to drop them if they desire." "Our purposes," Tarr added, "are to achieve fairness to all registrants in determining their priority status on January 1 of the new year and to limit the uncertainty that young men with high random sequence numbers face. Regitrants with student, occupational, pater nity, agricultural, and hardship deferments will be eligible to take advantage of this policy." The Memorandum also amends Selective Service policy on allowing record changes in birthdates upon submission of adequate evidence. Starting December 10, if a birthdate change is submitted after the registrant has received a lot tery number, the records will be changed, but the registrant will retain his original lottery number. sharing practices needed in their County.
