MK MIL editorial3"" A Patrolman "Goofs" rVfe have always been a firm believer in "law and order" and have always admired State Patrolmen who risk their lives at times in fulfilling their duties. We have been most fortunate in getting but one minor citation for a traffic violation many years ago. About the only time this writer has been stopped by a Patrolman is during times when they are stopping cars and checking driver's licenses. A few nights ago, however, while returning to Marshall from Asheville, we wanted so badly to see a Patrolman apprehend a fool driver in a truck who passed us on a double yellow line. The driver of the truck swerved dangerously close to the front of my car getting back into the right lane of the highway. Then, at enormous speed, the driver passed a car in front of mine not only over double yellow lines but also on a curve. Just as he entered the curve another car heading toward us happened along. The driver of the truck yanked the vehicle back in the right lane, barely missing the car he was passing and also barely missing a headon collision with the ap proaching car. . Frankly, we were enraged at such a fool driver and just hoped a patrolman would come along. About two miles from the point mentioned above, through our rearview mirror we noticed a Patrolman behind our car. We were certain We were certain that he was giving chase to the truck which had almost caused perhaps two serious wrecks. We were grateful that again the State Patrol was on the alert and had seen this dangerous. driver. But we were disillusioned when we noticed the Patrolman slow down behind our car and tap the siren motioning us over.

" As soon as we handed him the driver's license, we asked him why he was topping us. We asked him if we were doing anything wrong and he replied, "Nope, I just thought you might have been nipping a little." Well, this really did turn us on. We no doubt ddr many things wrong and often inadvertently folate some of the laws but we have never been guilty of "nipping." In fact, we have never tasted any intoxicating beverage to our knowledge. ': He seemed like a real nice guy and after a few friendly words he apologized for stopping us. i We then asked him if he had noticed the truck incident and he admited he saw the truck pass on double yellow lines but said by the time he turned around the truck was going so fast he decided not to chase it. "I couldn't have caught it, anyway," he remarked. We realize this was an isolated case but it still has us puzzled. We didn't argue with the Patrolman. We've got too much sense to do that. But to stop us for doing nothing wrong and allow a reckless driver to "get away" is beyond us.) We haven't lost respect for Patrolmen. Not at all. We still admire them and think they're doing a fine job. We didn't ask him his name nor did we read his identification bar on his unifrom but we think he "goofed"'.

STANTON Intenutioiiiil Sunday School Lenoofor March S, 197t LESSON TEXT: lsalaHfl):l(,JeremiaJi 31:31-34; Matthew W:13-t0; EphcslanI:lMt Today marks the start of a new series the Church. ..Its nature and mission. Our aim will be to make clear to us the inescapable fact that the church is essential to God's purposes for mankind, for it was In troduced by Christ, His Son, and is comprised of the people of God. Srious students of the Bible will clearly perceive that the origin of the Church was deeply rooted in the Old Testament. Furthermore, it was built with Christ as the cornerstone, and it received its power from the Holy Spirit. With such a foundation, it is not surprising that while mortal man eventually must succumb to death, the church, m itself, is deathless. It will go on performing its allotted task in the lives of mankind until that task is accomplished and Our Lord returns. ' A universal Church is the ultimate goal of Christians everywhere. Although mem bership was originally offered to the Jewish race..."God's chosen people"... as the Gospel spread, the "People of God" came to include people of all races. There were to be no "Strangers" or "foreigners" in this domain... rathr, there was to be one family, under God!. God! In establishing their mem bership in the Church, believing Christians fully and gladly accept the privileges extended in ther Person of Jesus Christ. His blood washes away our sins and our trans gressions, cleansing our souls until we attain a state of grace. He, Himself, insures our ultimate salvation! All that is asked of us in return for this great gift, is unwavering faith and un swerving obedience to the holy concepts of life in Christ. The Church is God's spiritual home, and sincere Christians joyously make it theirs! It herefore follows that our church attendance should be a deeply felt response, fulfilling a deep need within us, and should never sink to tha level of mere outside show. Lip service was never acceptable to God, nor condoned by Christ and it never will be. The Church has endured for many generations, bringing comfort and reassurance to the weary and perplexed, and while man exists on earth, its work in this regard will never be finished. It must continuously address itself to the task of leading mankind to eternal life through Christ, but it can only succeed to the extent it is supported in this task by its members. A vigorous, out reaching Church is but the reflection of a vigorous, out reaching congregaton! We, threfore, collectively and individually, need to assess our own personal relationship with Christ within the framework of the larger relationship of the Church with God. This can only be done by the putting aside of dishonest ac tions, petty thoughts, and un forgiving and selfish hearts. Divisiveness within the fellowship must be avoided at all costs, and a united front presented to the world if our membership in Christianity is to convince the unenlightened and the unsaved to enter the fold. By his conf ession of Jesus as the Meswah (verse 16) Peter publicly acknowledged the action of God in providing a foundation for faith and a hope of salvation. We must do no less, for we, inheritors, must pass the shining light of the Church on to those who will, in turn, follow us. Through us, and through our faith, Christ will be fulfilled. ..through us, and through our faith, the generations to come will not be without hope and without strength!

Place 1 Vfc inch diameter holes 8 - 10 inches deep, beginning 3 - 4 feet from the trunk and extending just beyond the spread of the branches. Use 1 to 1 H pounds of complete fertilizer such as 8-6-8 per year of age of the tree. Shrubs Most shrubs will respond well to a general feeding of V4 pound (to) cup of balanced food per square yard of area covered by the plant.

Cultivate the soil around the plant if it is packed or if a heavy mulch is present. Azaleas and camellias respond well to two or three light feedings of a balanced food with an acidifier applied about 2 weeks apart. This should begin as soon as the azalea blossoms begin to fade. Arrangements have been made to get fertilizer spread by helicopter for farmers desiring this service. Farmers may purchase the fertilizer from any dealer and the spreading cost is 17.50 per acre.

To qualify lor the higher payment rate under this new provision.the producer will agree that for each acre of additional set-aside, his 1972 plantings of corn-grain sorghum will be reduced by two acres below his 1971 corn-grain sorghum acreage. Thus, one acre would be set aside and held out of all production and the second acre would be held out of corn-grain sorghum production but could be planted to any (Top not subject to other program restrictions. In addition, producers may offer an ad ditional S percent of their corn grain sorghum base at the same rate which may be accepted at the option of the Secretary. All previously announced provisions of the program are still available for set-aside of feed grain acreage.

Did you hear about Mike Freeman being invited to play in the annual Blue-White game in Asheville? I don't know if any other Madison County boy has been invited or not, but am very happy that Mike will get to play . This is an annual game between seniors of Buncombe County against seniors from surrounding counties. Scouts from many colleges will be there and possibly offer scholarships to those players that look promising. One of my old school mates at Cully, Sam Patton, is the fellow who started this game many years ago. Tell Sam "Howdy" for me, Mike! Did you watch Nixon's trip to China over TV? I can't decide if anything good will come out of it or not. I hope it won't mess up our relations with our friends. I don't trust the commies and know that being nice one day is their way, and then cutting our throats the next generally follows. It generally takes time to discern any advantages from a trip like that, didn't envy their eating eggs many years old nor trying to pick ud fond with thn chop sticks! How do you feel about the recent California ruling against the death penalty? I believe our writers of the Constitutuion did not mean anything about the death sentence when they rated against cruel punsihment.
