appealed to the Opportunity
Corporation and its Board
Members for a continuation of a
summer Head Start program to
accommodate 180 children. This
appeal was rejected by the
Hoard of Directors of the Op
portunity Corporation and in
stead of an 8-month, 50-children
plan was approved. At all times
the Madison County Board of
Kducation along with the
County Board of Com
missioners opposed this 8
month. 50-children plan. They
Still Oppose It.
With respect to Whiteside's
charges, in his editorial, it is
sufficient to state that parental
involvement was had with
respect to the program in
"respect County and that the
parents almost unanimously
were in favor of a program
which would serve more of the
needy children in Madison
County.
With respect to Whiteside's
charges of the irregularities in
the program it is sufficient to
state that the Madison County
Hoard of Kducation and the 1971
Head Start program were
audited by the auditors em
ployed by the Opportunity
Corporation of Madison
Buncombe counties, and the
Hoard of Education has a letter
from the audit firmi Crawley
and Crawley) stating that the
accounts are in order and that
no misuse of funds could be
ascertained. Whiteside is
welcome to review this letter at
any time and if he is truly an
individual devoted to the truth,
he would have reported this fact
initially.
With respect to the number of
children attending the Head
Start program, the Madison
County Board of Education has
records which certify the
number attending through the
use of attendance records,
lunchroom reports, reim
bursement claims for lunches
served and insurance
premiums paid. Again,
Whiteside is welcome to review
this evidence if he is so inclined.
At one time, a representative
from the Atlanta Child
Development office, visited
Marshall, Walnut and Laurel
political leader.
There has been a lot of talk
this year about the
theoreticians" who sit in their
ivory towers and hand down
rules for the masses. It has got
to be a favorite pasttime of
Whiteside and representatives
of the news media to condemn
everything that goes on in
Madison County as being the
product of politics.
Whiteside would do well to visit
Madison County and view the
plans for the Consolidated
Head Start centers and declared School which the present Board
let
As we join together to celebrate this Fourth of July,
us remember that, above all, this is a day to show

and vision in establishing this great nation upon the
foundations of freedom, and their steadfastness in up
holding that freedom.
Let us affirm our faith in the principles for which

that the level of enrollment did
not meet that which was par
ticipating. The other five
centers were not visited to
make this evaluation of at
tendance and statements as to
the number participating and
the enrolled claimed. Again, it
is stated that the total Madison
County program was audited in
1971, and that the report of this
firm is available for Mr.
Whiteside to review at any time
he may desire.
Now, with respect to
Whiteside's claim about the
vicious rumors circulated in
regard to the present Com
munity Center in the Spillcorn
section of Madison County, it is
a fact an essential fact that
on the morning of May 26, 1972,
water had not been approved
for the Community Center in the
Spillcorn section as was stated
by Mr. Whiteside. This fact may
be ascertained by contacting
Edward Morton, Sanitation
Director of Madison County. It
is also a fact that no water was
in the Community Center for the
Head Start program located in
the Spillcorn section of Madison
County on the morning of May
20, 1972 as was stated by Mr.
Whiteside. With respect to the
circulation of rumors, Mr.
Whiteside would certainly be
well advised to take his own
admonition and to evaluate
WI)S TV's editorial respon
sibilities with respect to in
vestigative reporting. Troy
('udger, Director of Project
Mainstream in Madison County
has been in charge of
remodeling the Community
Centerat Spillcorn for the use as
a Head Start center, and he can
also be contacted with respect
to verifying the facts as to the
availability of water in the
CommunityCenter. It would
appear that Mr Whiteside is the
one who is misstating the facts
rather than the Superintendent
of Schools and a well known
of Education has pushed to
fruition. Whiteside would
likewise be advised to heed that
admonition which was once
stated by Abraham Lincoln:
"That it is better to remain
silent and be thought a fool than
to speak out and remove all
doubt about it."
