C'C encloi.d for One Yeer Subic Pment of 0J Encloied for Two Yeerl Subic MOUNTAIN LiViNS tc By PAUL HARVEY Recently we witnessed the about-face metamorphosis of a conservative. William Buckley, Jr., came out in favor of legalizing marijuana. And the conservative Consumers' Union recommends legalizing marijuana. And the President's own commission on pot has issued a recommendation which l-os Angeles Times cartoonist Paul Conrad translates as "TRY it-you'll I.IKE it!" Consumer's Union prefaces its 632-page report with a dogmatic statement that "marijuana is here to stay"; that "no conceivable law enforcement can curb its availability." Aren't the experts jumping to the conclusion that we can't en force laws when the fact is we haven't been trying-even laws against hard drugs! In New York City last year there were 1,400 hard drug pushers arrested: 93 per cent were found guilty. (These are not "just users," these are the pusher who feed the fire, who spread the contagion.) Of the 1,400 arrested and the 93 per cent found guilty, only 31 ever went to jail! Talk of legalizing it? That sounds as though it has been legalized! a senate subcommittee is even more anxious about the legal barbiturates which are so com monly used as tranquilizers and sleeping pills. The Senate panel's feeling is that most of us are unaware of the potentially tragic effects of these drugs Use often results in violent behavior; overuse means death. So "legalizing" those things has not discouraged their use. In New York, Dr. Max Jacobson reportedly has been mixing amphetamines with his injections and giving the needle to some names you know. His patients included John and Jacqueline Kennedy. Truman Capote, Alan Lerner, Rep. Claude Pepper ( D Fla.) and Tennessee Williams. Dr. Jacobson would not reveal which patients received amphetamines and which, if any, did not. Neither he nor they will confirm that "speed" shots were intended for a purposeful artificial lift. Again, "legalizing" these things has not discouraged their use nor has it minimized the hazard. Now there is congressional concern that we should delegalize these pep pills and potions at the same time there's a rising chorus of support for legalizing marijuana. I don't get it. Thank God I've had no personal experience with any of these addictions and so cannot prescribe from experience. But I was much impressed with something I read the other day which had been added as an appendix to the earlier report by President Nixon's national commission on this subject. It stated that most young people between the ages of 12 and 17 who have not tried marijuiana say they stayed away from it because of fear. They feared possible physical and mental damage. It's been neither scientifically nor socially fashionable in recent years to encourage fears. That's when 42 million Americans went to pot. And now there's this whole new school of thought which says, "We can't put out the fire so let's all jump in ! " Thieves Are Sought r C2 Servant Of Electricity ft?

Rudisill, Jr. Bruce Murray Rosalene M. Tugmon Mrs. Belva Crowe Janie Plemmons Diane Crowe Linda Chandler Beth Worley After 32 years of faithful and devoted leadership as manager of the French Broad Electric Mem bership Corporation, D M. (Doug) Robinson is retiring from the co-op at the end of this month. His accomplishments during these 32 years are too numerous to mention. Gwyn Price, of West Jefferson, former Chairman, N.C. Rural Electrification Authority, summed it all up at the Appreciation Banquet honoring Mr. Robinson at Mars Hill College last week when he said, "Doug Robinson is the very soul of the French Broad Electric Co-op." Ernest Teague, President, Board of Directors of the Co-op, told the large audience of the beginning of the French Broad EMC and how, in 1939, five men went on a farm tour in the county which included the Elmore Carter dairy. "There were onlv five or six cows at the dairy and there was no electricity,' Teague stated. He went on to say that this was true throughout the county. Realizing the need for rural electrification, Doug and the four men put up $10 each into a treasury and this was the beginning of the French Broad EMC, which is now serving more than 15, 000 members in Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee. Truly "a servant of electricity," Doug . has also found time to spearhead many other progressive steps for Madison County, especially in the realm of added industrial growth. He and his splendid staff have devoted countless hours gathering information and statistics to pass on to prospective in dustrialists. He has been instrumental in aiding in the acquisition of industries in Marshall, Mars Hill and Hot Springs and has been a leading torce in tne development of Wolf Laurel and other progressive accomplishments. He has been chairman and-or member of prac tically evehr committee and board organized for the adifeon Qpunty. , i . t The many fcccbmplishmfents of this dedicated man and bis great compaassiori for his fellowmen will go on and on as'long as there is a Madison Coounty. He is a great humaniterian, with a pleasant personality, a soft voice and sound judgment. One of the members of his staff recently remarked, "Doug would loan anyone enough money, if necessary, to keep electricity going . to his home during . ad versity." Yes, this is Doug Robinson. An ardent sportsman, Doug . loves football, baseball and basketball. He loves to fish and hunt but his pressing duties and responsibilities have left him little time to enjoy such things. Although everyone regrets his stepping down as manager of the Co-op, we are certain that they rejoice that he will, at last, have more time to enjoy the many pleasures of life.

Pharmacy Comments VITAMIN C TIME IS HERE! In 1970. Vitamin C was given a boost when Nobel prize winner. Dr. Linus Pauling, said that fighting the common cold is as simple as a walk to the corner drug store to pick up a boltle of Vitamin C capsules. Critics, however, refuted Pauling's observation by claiming the body excretes massive doses of I" as quickly as excessive amiKinis are taken 1a and. also, by pointing out the potential toxk effect that may large amounts of C have on some individuals. The battle goes on. Pro ponents of Vitamin C be lieve that substantial amounts of the vitamin should be taken into the system regularly so as to replace that which is used up. especially while the body is under heavy attack of cold symptoms. As both a curative and a preventive. Vitamin C comes highly recommended. M uk know if it works for you this winter.

COST is a project to collect and pass on Clothing Old, Small, Torn. COST is sponsored by the Department of Social Services using volunteers and donations of clothing and space. The monthly amounts budgeted for clothing in an AFDC check are $5.16 for one person, $9.46 for two persons, $13.76 for three persons, $17.20 for four persons, $20.62 for five persons and $23.22 for six persons. Persons receiving AAD checks receive a little more: $6 for one person and $9.46 for two persons. . 1 It would be hard to tiy even a coat and a pair of shoes for $62 but it is almost impossible to buy all clothing for a year on that amount. Two adults and three children have only $247.44 to buy all clothing for a year. Clothing may be left at the Fordham Recreation Center on Main Street in Marshall. It is just across from French Broad Chevrolet Company. Volunteers are needed to sort, size, and distribute clothing. Repairs could be done at home. Come by the Department of Social Services or call 649-2711 for more information. cmusimfls . ; Shady Side , Florist , tic Hard, Let's Produce -More Honey By PAUL A. TUGMAN Foulbrood is a disease of the young bees before they im merse. It may affect them before they are sealed. In either case, the young bees die and sink to the bottom of the cell in a rotten mass. A hive that has foulbrood stinks very badly. You can take a tooth pick and jab it into this rotten mass, draw it out, and it will pull out a string of rotten material like you had pulled it out of molasses. There will also be a number of pinholes in the capping. You can identify it by these three things: Treatment: foulbrood, if caught in a reasonable length of time, can be cured by the following method. Make a mixture of confectioners sugar twelve parts and powdered sulfa thiazole one part and one part terramydn. Mix thoroughly and place in quart Jar with a perforated lid, then it can to shook on the combs like using a salt shaker. Open the hive and take each frame out, and sift it good on each side of the frame, being sure that it goes in the cells well. Treat each frame. Treat again in about one week, then treat a 3rd time after another week. This should take care of any case of foulbrood, if caught in a reasonable length of time. If your hive is so con structed that you cannot take the frames out, the.e is very little chance of treating it. You will be better off to saturate the hive with gasoline and bum it, if you cannot take the frames out. your holiday be filled with wohder and all your wishes come true.
