PEGGY CUTSHAW, President of Beta Omega chapter of E. S. A., presented Dr. Robert Blake two checks, each for $250, to be given to the newly established Laurel and Walnut Health Ginics. This money will be used to help pay the cost of renovating the buildings used for the clinics. The renovation of the clinics has been totally a community project and has required the financial assistance of interested groups and citizens. Beta Omega, a member of E. S. A. women's international service organization, accepted the Laurel and Walnut Clinics as one of its philanthropic projects for the 1972-73 year. A series of activities including a softball game, a mountain music festival, and a chicken dinner were held to raise money for the clinics. The clinics are a needed ad dition to the communities, and the Beta Omega members are to be commended for their interest in and work for this worthwhile cause. State Baptists Rule On Immersion Issue The 3,438 churches belonging to the North Carolina Baptist State Con vention won the right Wed nesday to admit members not baptized by immersion and to still send members to the convention's meetings. Delegates representing 1,037,000 Baptists approved a tied Oak PTA Thanks Red Oak School PTA takes this privilege to thank the Merchants and residents of Marshall and Madison County for their help in our annual fall festival. The festival was held Friday, Nov. 10, 1972. The main door prize being a Mini Bike was won by Miss Vetina Green of Marshall Rt. No. 2. The many door prizes donated by the merchants of Marshall and the many, many, tickets bought by Madison residents was truely a large factor in making one of the most profitable festivals our school has ever had. Thank You Sincerely, Mrs. Peggy Gentry President PTA Mr. Bill Briggman Principal ; One of 2S0 volumes in a limited edition of John James Audubon's historic bird prints was recently given to Mars Hill College by an alumnus. Leafing through the giant - 2.S-foot wide by 3,25-foot long -facsimile were (L-R) Pr.Fred B. Bentley, college president; Don Sye, student from Harristonburg, jVa.; and Joe Chris Robertson, chairman of the art department, which houses the rare book. The replica was printed directly from the 19th century original "double elephant" folio edition of Audubon's works in Leipzig, Germany, ith the 250 copies of the English version done in London, England, earlier this year.

(Mars IliU College photo by Norm Carter) resolution in which the con vention expressed its belief in "convictions that believers' baptisms by immersion in water is the teaching of the New Testament" and that immersion "should be a requirement for any church that calls itself Baptist." There was only a handful of votes against the resolution in a standing vote among the 3,000 persons attending the meeting at the group's con vention center in Winston Salem. In effect, the resolution recognizes the autonomy of member churches, but tells those churches that a majority of the churches adhere to baptism by immersion. An earlier proposed resolution by the Rev. M.O. Owens of Gastonia would have barred churches with non immersed members from sending delegates to the convention. Owens withdrew that resolution which had been defeated last year also, and introduced the resolution approved Wednesday. The convention's president, Tom M. Freeman of Dunn had proposed the compromise. Tne resolution also authorizes Freeman to ap point and head an 11 member committee to counsel chur ches "of differing viewpoints" on Baptism.

The defensive squad con Hunter Safety Instructors Are Named For This County Recently the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Com mission assumed the role of administering a Hunter Safety program in North Carolina. A great many states now require this same course before a hunting license is issued, but as of now this is not a requirement in this State. For many years the Com mission has been presenting Hunter Safety programs on a limited basis, but as of January 1972 a special group of officers was assigned to administer this program by utilizing Wildlife Commission personnel and qualified volunteers that could teach Hunter Safety to young people and adults. Although the course is not mandatory in this State, it is being offered by the Com mission and the graduation certificates that are issued are honored in all other states where this program is man datory. In trying to place qualified instructors in every area of the State so that everyone will have the benefit of receiving this worthwhile course of instruction, the Wildlife Resources Commission an nounces the appointment of: Morgan Is Initiated Into Society According to Mr. John E.

Deadline For Completing 72 REAP Practices Nears Farmers who secured government cost-sharing on farm practices under the 1972 Rural Environmental Assistance Program have only a few days left in which to complete and report per formance on their practice, according to Ralph Ramsey, ASCS County Director. Ramsey explained that all approvals issued under Madison County's REAP carried a December 1, 1972 report date which means that farmers taking part in the program should complete and report performance on their farm practices by that date. He also stated that most of the 1500 farmers taking part in this program had already complied with this Special Services At i ' Dry Branch Or. - tw. -in k. h, .

Ingram told newsmen the reinsurance exchange "will fullfill my pledge to the people of North Carolina to abolish the discriminatory assigned-risk plan and put an end to cancellations and non renewals." Ingram said he plans to meet again with auto in surance industry represen tatives Nov. 30. They were asked, he said, to submit two additional alternative plans to meet his requirements, as well as the primary plan. Ingram took a verbal poke during the press conference at Sen. O'Nel Jones, D-Anson, chairman of the insurance study commission. Jones has been critical of Ingram's campaign promises. Ingram said one of the main reasons Jones was defeated in the Democratic primary was due to his "opposition to reducing discriminatory rates for youthful drivers. The commissioner-elect has promised to cut liability in surance rates for youthful drivers and put the burden on drunk drivers. placed 23 students as practice teachers this fall in 15 schools from Alamance County west to Madison County.

Much of the opposition to the plan surfaced at a three-day hearing held by the TVA in Asheville in September 1971. About 175 people spoke at the hearings, with opponents out numbering proponents by about two to one. Opposition also appeared In Raleigh, where Gov. Bob Scott, an early supporter of the proposal, soured on the dam project when his ad ministration began tressing environmental issues. Conservation groups also joined in opposing the TVA, and some new groups were spawned, like the Upper French Broad Defense Association, headed by Jere Brittain of the Mills River community near Hen dersonville. In Brevard, for example, Mayor Charles H. Campbell said he was "very happy" about the TVA's abandoning its plans, adding that the TVA's proposal "just never was acceptable." Brevard is in Transylvania County, where, Campbell said, several dams were scheduled to be constructed. But the mayor of Asheville, Richard A. Wood Jr., was not pleased at all by the decision. In a statement released by his office Wood said that since be and the rest of AshevUle's city administration bad had little contact with the TVA , since the hearings in 1971, ''we were surprised" by the agency's announcement. Wood said that although the city had tried to keep out of debates concerning the TVA plan, "we have had a genuine interest in this project as a means of affording a future supply of water for the -long-range development needs of our area." murder; Charles Taylor, ADW; George G.
