THE IMPROVED MARSHALL SWIMMING POOL,
with its clear water from a modern filtering system,
was dedicated last Saturday afternoon. Mayor
Lorado Ponder was the principal speaker and Clark
Sawyer, manager of "Glory Ridge" near Walnut,
gave the dedicatory prayer. Also participating were
Aldermen Roy Wild, Charles "Ham" Crowe, James
Penland; and Mr. Francis Piziulo, of Marshall, who
has directed the many improvements at the pool and
who, with his wife, is managing the pool. A lighting
system also makes the pool attractive for night
swimming.

"Glory Ridge", An
Inspirational Camp
Near Walnut
BY CLARK T. SAWYER
CAMP DIRECTOR,
"GLORY RIDGE"
As I travel throughout
Madison County many people
are asking about "Glory
Ridge"-"What is it?" and
"What are its plans?"
"Glory Ridge" is a new
Christian Camping Ministry
located within rustic,
mountainous Madison County,
(the summer of 1973 being the
first summer that campers
lived on the site).
"Glory Ridge" , is "a
vineyard for the Lord God"
where the Soul will be
replenished and where the
Spirit will unfold its Wings to
the Heavenly embrace. This
camp is a pUce where people
(all races, all creeds, all
nationalities) may share the
glory of the victory in Jesus
Christ.
The Camp is such that it is
available for camping,
retreating, and picnicing.
"Glory Ridge" is a non
denominational Christian
Camp and is thus open to any
group or individual.

overhead lighting has proved
to be very successful. Those
who have tried the pool at

swimming is limited to those
who are 14 years and older.
The hours will be 9 a.m. to
3:30 Tuesday through
Saturday and again from 6
p.m. to 9 p.m. The Sunday
