LETTERS
To The EditjyV.;i';;i3;;'i?-''i.;;i'.:
Have you ever wondered
why some people fiave such
fond memories, and high ''
admiration for the 1950's? It ;
has been called a dull period,
yet to others tt was perhaps a
most exciting time, perhaps
an era when America was at
its greatest point.
What made this period so
memorable and so cherished?
Eisenhouer, a conservative,
was President and his
patience, integrity and
leadership were strong
symbols during the period.
For the most part there was no
war.
There was more respect
particularly among the young
then for their parents, their
teachers, their schools, and
even the police were looked on
with admiration and friend
ship. Police were not needed
to keep order in the schools,
and children attended their
schools with enthusiasm.
There were few unclean
movies and the heroes were on
the side of the police, not the
criminals. Drugs were hardly
even mentioned, and rebellion
against higher authority was
rare.
The teenagers were neatly
groomed, with the boys
wearing short hair and the
girls wearing dresses.
The streets were safer. The
television programs were
cleaner. The respect for our
institutions was greater.
Proper discipline was more
widespread.
The happy memories of this
memorable period will not go
away.

SCORES RAMSEY
Mr. Jim Story, Editor
The News-Record
Marshall, N. C.
All of the registered
Democrats in the 11th
Congressional District should
be very proud of your district
chairman, Rep. Iiston B.
Ramsey of Marshall, Madison
County, N. C. His comments
concerning President Nixon's
resignation in the Asheville
Citizen, Friday, Aug. 9, 1974,
were just what you would
I expect from a "Madison
unty Politician." 1
Ramsey used this un
fortunate incident to not only
further kick a "very, very,
smart crook" (Nixon) while
he was down but also to pre
judge Gerald Ford by stating
that he is only "a former
Congressman who supposedly
is reasonably honest but not
too bright." Ramsey further
stated that "the country will
be better off with a not-too-
to EDITOR
j bright Gerald Kord .-and will
'survive with a' not-too-smart
5 president.";.; '-K;;. ,.t..v ' .?
V For a representative who is
t hoping that he will be the next
Speaker of the House of the
North Carolina legislature to
express his views in such a
deplorable manner, Uston B.
" Ramsey has shown just what
type person he really is. If he
is one of the best legislators
we have in Raleigh, what are
the others like?
Madison County has had
one "Watergate" after
another for the past three
generations, but there comes
a time when sensible people
(even here) push petty politics
aside and try to work toward a
common cuase. This is such a
time and it's a shame that the
Democartic leader of our
District has already con
demned the new Ford ad
ministration. We all now have a new
President with an almost
impossible job to perform, and
we should ALL support him in
every way possible. This is the
only way that our county is
going to be able to stay
number "1" in the world,

Pave US 25-70 In
As we arive on modern high
ways today most of us dont
remember when there were
not any paved roads in
Madison County.
However, there is certainly
one man who does vividly
remember.
He is Raymond Thomas, of
Route 4, Marshall.
Mr. Thomas joined the high
way department on March 3,
1922 with the maintenance
department when highway
work and construction was
under county supervision. He
was assigned to the Road Oil
Department to supervise the
paving of the first section of
US 25-70 in Madison County.
This section was located from
Main Street in Hot Springs to
the Tennessee Vatate line, a

figures for the fall are in

the college's "new approach

petence based program this
fall, the only such course of
study in the state and one of an
extremely few in the nation.
