Appeal Gefs Response
V
It was evident here last Saturday that Madison County citizens
have not forgotten the agonies of past floods nor have they
forgotten the kindnesses of people who helped them during these
experiences.
A spontaneous response by many persons resulted in hundreds
of pounds of canned foods and other items being taken to West
Virginia where floods have destroyed millions of dollars of
property, with over 100 known dead, another hundred or more not
accounted for, and thousands of persons without adequate food
and clothing.
This county's compassion and generosity for these people
started when Vader Shelton, local barber, heard an appeal for
food for the West Virginia victims over his short wave radio set.
Instead of just being content to remain at his radio set, Vader
realized the plight of these victims and did something about it. He
called Radio Station WMMH and asked them to put the appeal on
the air. He contacted members of the Madison County Ambulance
Service and they generously offered a portion of their building as
a collecting center for items. Others, including Mrs. Shelton,
started contacting people and before long items started pouring
into the center. People brought in canned food, local merchants
donated food, clothing, blankets, and other items. Radio Station
WLOS was also issuing the appeal throughout Western North
Carolina and persons offered their trucks voluntarily to take the
items to a central point near Oteen where a huge trailer -truck was
dispatched, without charge, to deliver the items to West Virginia.
It was amazing and heartwarming to see our people respond so
well with such short notice.
We congratulate everyone who helped in this worthy cause and
feel certain that many flood-stricken families in West Virginia
will know that Madison County people have deep compassion and
sympathy for them and are willing and anxious to lend a helping
hand.

Brother Oaks' Last Fling
Brother Oaks showed up at an Asheville church Thursday
night and said he was a good Christian.
"I've just flown in from Yps.lanti. Michigan, he sa id.
"and I'm tired and thirsting for the
ciril "
BOB TERRELL
want to do something lor the Lord.
He said his family was driving down from Ypsilanti and
when they arrived they would surely feel as he did. They
woold want to join the congregation that had made Brother
Oaks feel so welcome.
Willing To Help
Every man of God should be willing to help spread the
word," Brother Oaks said, and thereupon he pledged $500 to
the church.
The only hitch was, his money was in his bags and his
baggage had been delayed in Memphis. When his flight ar
rived in Asheville, his luggage was not aboard, but airlines
officials had assured him that his bags would be flown to
Asheville on Friday.
"When is the next service?" Brother Oaks asked.
"Tomorrow night," he was told.
"Then tomorrow night I shall give the money to the
church."
The reverend asked Brother Oaks how he was traveling
and Brother Oaks said he had taken a bus to the church. He
had not had time to rent a car and, anyway, his family
would be here within a day or two with his own automobile.
The reverend volunteered to drive Brother Oaks to his
motel, but Brother Oaks wanted a few minutes to fellowship
with his newfound friends. . . . .
Soon then the preacher loaded Bi other Oaks and Ms
singing leader into his car and drove downtown, letting the
cood brother off at his motel.
On their way back to the church, the reverend discovered
that the singing leader had let Brother Oaks have 45 to
tide him over until has baggage arrived. The 46, Brother
Oaks had assured the singing leader, would be repaid when
he made his donation of 500 to the church.
Fortunately, the minister, a God-fearing man, was also
a suspicious fellow
He drove back downtown and discovered that Brother
Oaks had already checked out of his motel. Acting more
like a private eye than a man of the cloth, the reverend
ascertained that Brother Oaks had left by cab. Closer ex
amination rtvealed that the taxi had taken Brother Oaks to
a hotel.
A Different Voice
While the preacher was checking up at the cab company,
a call for another cab came in from Brother Oaks at the
hotel, and the same cab that, carried him there was dis
patched to carry him away aain.
The taxi took Brother Oaks to Marshall where he checked
into a tourist home. The cab driver notified his dispatcher by
radio where he had taken his fare, the dispatcher told the
reverend, and the reverend got in touch with Madison County
Sheriff E. Y. Ponder.
Next thing Brother Oaks knew, someone was pounding
on his door and the voice he heard beckoning him to come
forth sounded more like the voice of the Law than that of
the Lord.
At 5:30 a m. Brother Oaks was ushered into the Madison
County jail by Sneriff Ponder and Marshall Police Officer
Charlie Gunter, and he knew the jig was up.
In the next few hours, Sheriff Ponder discovered several
things about Brother Oaks, mainiy that his name was George
D Eagles, that his address was 1329 Davis Lane NW, Grand
Rapids, Mich., and that he had thirsted before and had drunk
at many wells: in White Springs, N. Y., Dallas and Hunts
ville, Texas, Jackson, Mich., and Marietta, Ga., where he
was a wanted man on similar flim flam charges.
Broker Oaks signed a waiver and will be returned to
Marietta, Ga., to face charges there, Sheriff Ponder said.
"He thought he had a pretty good thing going." said the
sheriff, "arid I guess he did But he found out it doesn't pay
to trifle with the Lord or with one of his servants who's
half detective."
When Sheriff Ponder heard of Brother Oaks' singing
voice, he asked the prisoner to sing a few songs to liven
things up for the other inmates, but. alas. Brother Oaks
had lost his voice. He wouldn't even hum a bar

INTERNATIONAL
SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
FOR . .
MARCH S,
LESSON TEXT :
Acts 11 Is t il
Continuing our studies In the
unit "The Origin of the Church"
we find there is some dissension
as to when the Church actually
came into existence.
Some people feel that the
Pentecostal event related In
Acts 2 was the time of its In
ception, while others argue that
Christ's Last Supper and His
commission to His disciples
were acts which acknowledged
an EXISTING church.
Regardless of these differing
viewpoints, our Lesson today
will be directed towards helping
the individual interpret the
events of Pentecost and relate
them to the church as we know
it in our own times.
In our studies throughout the
Bible we cannot fall to have
noticed that all great events
were heralded by signs from
heaven... fire, rushing winds, a
mighty voice. It was no dif
ferent on the occasion of Pen
tecost. Reference is made to the
descent of the Holy Spirit on the
assemblage, furnishing both
authority and ability to witness.
The "gift of tongues" was
especially impressive and
attention-getting, for although
many groups spoke in their own
particular language, yet all
were able to understand what
was taking place!
What an exciting time for the
Church that must have been!
Christ was God's saving work,
and through the Spirit's ac
tivity, many were led into the.
brave new faith that was
becoming known Christianity!
Pentecost does, indeed,
illustrate the importance of
fellowship in prayer and love.
Needless to say, these qualities
are equally important to the
Church and to the community at
large today. All too often we
allow our church to fall into a
"ho-hum" position when it
comes to making its existence
felt beyond its walls. The
necessary vision which is
essential to its growth, is, alas,
too often lacking and we have
nobody to blame but ourselves,
it being an inescapable fact that
it is the congregation which sets
the pace for their church.
We need to be stimulated as
the Disciples were
stimulated. ..we need the sense
of inner excitement that was
theirs, the sense of urgency!
God has, supplied His House
, with the! power f fie Holy,
Ghost we must? supply the
impetus for its use, so that it
will not be wasted. We must
continually condition ourselves
to be His runners carrying His
word into the hearts and homes
of our fellowmen.
An active church must par
ticipate in both community and
world affairs, and these are
fertile fields, indeed, today.
We live in what are all too
often violent times these days;
when one picks up a newspaper,
or watches television, or listens
to the radio, we are met on
every side by dissension and
conflict. The church cannot
afford to be uninvolved in these
days when "involvement"
seems to be a universal bat
tlecry. BUT WE MUST BE
INVOLVED ON GOD'S SIDE!
That this will take both
perception and courage is ob
vious. It will also take tem

WASHINGTON - The
American presidency is sup
posed to be the loneliest Job in
the world, but the waiting room
is one of the most crowded
places in the country.
Voters in some states may
choose from as many as a
dozen Democratic applicants.
In New Hampshire on March 7,
President Nixon will be op
posed by two Republican
congressmen, liberal Rep. Paul
McCloskey of California and
conservative Rep. John Ash
brook of Ohio.
The Democrats' list of
candidates seems to grow
every day, but the formal
announcements by Sen. Ed
mund Muskie of Maine, Sen.
Vance Hartke of Indiana and
Sen. Hubert Humphrey of
Minnesota seem to have
rounded out the field at least
for the primaries.
The Democrats' "morning
line" looks like this:
Sen. Edmund Muskie of
Maine.
Sen. Hubert Humphrey of
Minnesota.
Sen. George McGovern of
South Dakota.
Sen. Henry Jackson of
Washington.
Sen. Vance Hartke of In

Mayor Sam Yorty of Los
Angeles.
Gov, George Wallace of
Alabama.
Hep. Shirley Chisholm of

Rep. Patsy Mink of Hawaii.
Delegate Walter Fauntroy of
the District of Columbia.
That's an even dozen. Three
would-be Democratic can
didates are already on the
sidelines Sen. Birch Bayh of
Indiana, Sen. Harold Hughes of
Iowa and Sen. Fred Harris of
Oklahoma.
Just A
Woman's Observations
By DOROTHY BRIGMAN SHUPE
Have you been up to see the
new Sear's store? Sandy and I
went up Tuesday afternoon and
ate supper in their new dining
room and enjoyed the food (I
ate liver and onions, because
they are good for !) and saw
Iinda Adams, her mother and
cute little Brad; and as we sat
talking, looked over the table
next to us and there sat Cousins
Hazel Guthrie and Blanche
Chandler! Of course, Sandy had
to show them her pretty ring
and tell them all about the
wedding! Hazel was kind
enough to tell me that she ac
tually reads this column!
We did't make any purchases,
but the store did look very
pretty and I guess they have
plenty of good stuff to sell. I did
stop to look at their television
sets, but I was interested in who
was winning the New Hamp
shire primary rather than
making a purchase. I Just heard
over TV that Muskie and Nixon
have won in their contests. I
wonder Just how many people
know that these contests are not
binding at all, in most cases, but
they do seem to tell how the
wind is blowing. I believe in
some states the delegates are
obligated to vote for the winner
on the first ballot, but that's
about as far as it goes.
If you haven't registered to
vote yet, you'd better get going.
Did you know that 17 year olds
who will be 18 by November 7,
CAN register NOW, and CAN
vote in both the primary and the
general election? I think it is
wonderful that Mrs. Anderson is
keeping the office open late
some days and on some
Saturdays for our people to
have a better chance to par
ticipate in the election. I am
quite surprised at many of our
young U year olds who are not
loo excited about being a voting
ritisen with al rights. I think
that being responsible for all
their actions Is a bit bigger
portion than they expected!

Rven a Washington veteran
.like Lincoln Gould, the
amazing 90-year-old political
reporter of the Washington
Star, can't recall a year in
which so many fancied
themselves as president. The
candidacy of eight senators and
one former senator from the
same party is unprecedented.
Republicans call it evidence
of the dissension in Democratic
ranks. Democrats call it
evidence that the party is
blessed with great leadership
ability. Certainly, it is evidence
of varied ambitions and special
interests.
How many Democrats are
"serious" candidates?
Washington anticipates an
ultimate Muskie-Humphrey
struggle. Muskie is without
question the favorite at the
moment, but he also is the most
exposed of all the candidates.
He has been Mr. Nixon's most
prominent rival for more than
two years, yet his fortunes in
Congress and in his party have
been checkered. His campaign
organization has been torn by
controversies as rival factions
tugged him first to the left, then
the right.
Muskie faces a "must-win"
situation. A defeat in an early
primary could be devastating.
He is an odds-on favorite to win
in the next-door state of New
Hampshire on March 7 and he
will be a heavy choice over
McCarthy in the two-man
March 21 Illinois test. But
Florida on March 14 and
Wisconsin on April 4 are wide
open affairs where anything
could happen.
Muskie's late 1971 surge and
the key indorsements from
Ohio Gov. John Gilligan and
California Sen. John Tunney
have pushed Sen. Humphrey
into the race earlier than he
would have liked. The former
vice president is reported
concentrating on Florida and
Wisconsin, counting on his
personal identification with
voters to be decisive in
crowded contests.

'it Muskie carries Florida
and Wisconsin, it's all over,"
said one key Democratic
strategist.
McGovern, who declared his
candidacy more than a year
ago continues to suffer from a
credibility problem. Despite
hard work and a dedicated
staff, the former professor who
argues endlessly against U. S.
policy in Vietnam still has not
convinced key party figures
that he can win the nomination.
Only a surprise victory in one
of the early primaries will keep
his bid alive.
Jackson faces a similar
problem. The Washington
senator has strong backers in
Rep. Wilbur Mills, D-Ark.,
chairman of the House Ways
and Means Committee, and
President George Meany of the
AFL-CIO. His conservative
stance on foreign policy and
national defense issues has
strong appeal in the South and
Southwest. But Jackson con
tinues to suffer from un
derexposure. Too few voters
have followed his quietly ef
fective career in the Senate.
Florida is the crucial
Jackson test. The senator
bypassed the New Hampshire
race in favor of concentrated
campaigning in the Sunshine
State and where Mills' in
fluence is strong inside the
state Democratic organization.
Hartke's Johnny-come-lately
bid in New Hampshire is
generally regarded as an at
tempt to win attention for a
possible vice presidential bid.
The senator won reelection in
Indiana in 1970 by only 6,000
votes over Rep. Richard
Roudebush.
Mayor Lindsay of New York
has burst forth as a very visible
candidate, backed by a
treasury estimated as high as
$2 million. Lindsay, a young,
charismatic figure, promises to
make considerable TV impact
in any state where he cam
paigns, but his cross is iden
tification with the failures of
New York City.
