At that time we had nine members united by a common goal to be of service. During our first year we decided to accept a challenge of helping to buy band uniforms for Madison High School that was scheduled to open in the near future. During the four years we have been organized we have had many fund raising activities with the largest one being a walk-a-thon involving interested persons from all over Madison County. At this time we have been able to donate $5(600 to the band uniform fund. This money has been used to purchase 30 uniforms. This is great, but, we need 20 more uniforms to outfit the entire band. We would like to commend Bill Stell, Band Director, and the band members for the excellent job they have done in such a short period of time, We are also appealing to you to support this walk-a-thon and make Jjjrt&ibte to buy enough uniform for the entire band. WneiTa student calls on you pledge generously for this worthwhile cause. We also need volunteers to help serve refreshments during the walk. If you would like to help you may call 649-3740 or 649-3747. r FAEM BUEtEAIU Is Doing For Its Members FARM BUREAU members own and operate their own insurance company for two reasons: 1. Better Serviee 2. Greater Savings If you're inclined to shop i around, the chances are better than ever this year that you can find an in surance company in position to sell you a policy at a discount. Of course, it isn't called a discount. In insurance parlance, it's known as a "deviation" and in each case It must be approved by the commissioner of insurance before the company can offer it. This year, Commissioner John ft Ingram has ap proved deviations for 47 companies, more than ever before. This represents an increase of several com panies over the number deviating last year and is twice as many as the average do more than ItVt if great to be part of. an organization like FARM BUREAU?

'' r, I)ALL,Agcncy Mar Trt SIO Million MAILS HI Mr A 10-ycar, 10 million development program was officially launched by Mars Hill College Friday with a luncheon honoring Dr. Hoyt Blackwell. resident emeritus uf the Baptist school. -' Funds for the construction of Blaikwctl Administration Building, to be named for the 85-year-old educator who retired in 1966, will constitute the major goal of the first phase of the 10-year program. Plans for raising the money and other details of the total campaign will be announced at the luncheon, which will be attended by members of the Blackwell family, college administrators, members of the boards of trustees and advisors, alniuni officers, and other friends of the college. The 10-year development program will be divided into three emphases using the theme "Excellence in Ac tion." Emphasis I will con centrate on the new ad ministration building and on library improvement. The goal for this phase will be $2 million, with $1 million ear marked for construction of the Blackwell Building, $500,000 to endow its operation and maintenance, and $500,000 for upgrading the library. Extensive landscaping and new campus lighting will accompany the erection of the new three story ad ministration building, which will be located on the site where Treat, an older dor mitory, now stands. The new building will become the focal point of a redeveloped central campus. Plans call for the closing of College Street to vehicular traffic and developing the central campus area into a pedestrian mall. A 1921 graduate of Mars Hill, Dr. Blackwell served as a faculty member and ad ministrator from 1928 to 1938, and as president from 1938 to 1966. At first he was a teacher of Greek and Bible; but in 1935, Dr. R.L. Moore, then president, asked him to become director of en dowment and an enlargment program. Dr. Blackwell demonstrated his ex traordinary talent for raising funds, even in those Depression years,, by raising $61,000 in less than 18 months. In June 1938, when Dr. Moore retired, Dr. Blackwell was unanimously chosen by the trustees as the 18th president of Mars Hill College. Farm, Government Em ployes and Utica, all of which last year had some sort of deviation on auto physical damage coverages, decided to drop it this year Twenty -one companies offer deviations on fire insurance and its allied lines; 18 companies on homeowner' policies; one (N. C. Farm Bureau) on the farm owners' policy ; 27 on comprehensive policies for motels, apartments offices and a category known as (all other); and 28 on the comprehensive policy for institutions. One company. Foremost, deviates D OS per cent on the mobile homeowner policy. tUTOTil ..." - - Manager: r:;:i offic : lirl Perk Campaign To Under his guidance the college showed unprecedented growth in its physical assets, academic programs, and student population. In the 28 years he was president, a science building, library, cafeteria, auditorium and fine arts building, and four large residence halls were con structed. A huge complex of buildings and outdoor facilities for physical education and athletics were begun. In addition, the begun. In addition, the boun daries of the campus were repaired and improved, ex tensive landscaping carried out, and miles of paved streets, broad sidewalks, and picturesque rock walls were added. Less apparent than the physical changes, but equally and important, were the ac complishments in the academic and extracurricular life of the college. Dr. Black well's administration was marked by several historic milestones. The most obvious was the addition of the junior and senior years academic programs which converted the school into a four-year, degree granting college. The first baccalaureate degrees were awarded to 146 students in 1964. Two years later, Dr. Black well was able to pass the reins of leadership to Dr. Fred B. Bentley with the satisfaction of knowing that the college was debt free. Dr. Bentley will preside over the luncheon , Friday. The second pahse of the 10 year "Excellence in Action" program, Emphasis II, will focus on two other major needs of the college: endowed scholarships and endowed teaching positions. A $1 million fund to generate scholarship money is the first goal, and $2 million to endow professorships is the second goal.

This memo is to give you some information and to ask for your vote in favor of a proposed bond issue to support a Fire - Department Im provement Project. We believe your Volunteer Fire Department is one of the best in North Carolina. It has three excellent vehicles for fire fighting: (1) a 1972 American LaFrance 1,000 gallon pumper, (2) a 1960 Chevrolet 1,000-gallon pum per, and (3) a 1968 GMC Van. It also has various CD. trailers and other equipment. Urgently needed is more space to house this equipment and room for expansion and improvement. The space now occupied in Town Hall is needed for other aspects of town service: additional of fices, library expansion, police services, community activities, etc. To meet all these needs a new building is proposed for the Fire Department. Land has already been donated (across from the Baptist Church, adjacent to Mars Theater) by Mars Hill College. To finance Mars Hill Bicentennial Council Meets The Greater Mars Hill Bicentennial Council met on Tuesday evening, September 4 in Cornwell Hall at Mars Hill College. Reports from the Library and Finance Committees indicated that fund-raising for the planned Mars Hill area library is underway, with approximately $625 in cash and $2200 in pledges already received. The Beautification Committee has planted grass and flowers in the triangle on North Main Street and has contacted local merchants about store-front beautification. They have also received a $4000 grant from the town for beautification. Everyone was encouraged to attend the Ba scorn Lamar Lunsford Festival on Thur sday, October 2 at Madison High School and Friday and Saturday, October 3 and 4 in Moore Auditorium at Mars Hill College.

You and other town voters will have an op portunity to vote on this matter in a referendum bond on Tuesday, Sept 23, 1975. WE URGE YOU TO VOTE FOR THIS BOND ISSUE! This project can be handled much like the new water tank project was a couple of years ago. The total cost of that project was $200,000. Of that, $40,000 came as a grant from the State and $40,000 came from FHA. $25,000 came from county revenue-sharing funds, and $8,000 was due from Shadow line. $37,000 came out of regular town revenue, which meant that only $50,000 had to be raised by the sale of bonds, even though town voters authorized up to $90,000. Over half of these bonds have already been redeemed and no tax increase was necessary. The proposed Fire Department project is estimated to cost a total of $90,000. FHA requires that the bond referendum cover the total amount even though town officials expect to have Library will also be dedicated at 4 p.m. on Saturday, October 4. Officers for the Council are Frederick Anderson, president; Elizabeth Norville, vice-president; Jane Holcombe, secretary; and Dr. Reese Steen, treasurer. Regular meetings are held at 7:30 pjn. in Cornwell Hall on the first Thursday of each month, except in October, when the group will meet on the second Thursday (October 9).

This will b possible because' $40,000 foi the project is already In sight from local funds, gifts, and matching grants. The bonds will be sold at maximum of 8 percent interest, and the required annual payment oil them will be only about $3,000 however, town officials plan to pay more and completely redeem them within five years as they are doing on the water tank bonds. , THIS CAN BE DONE WITHOUT RAISING TOWN TAXES! The town is in good con dition financially and is being operated in a progressive manner. In addition to the water tank project, the following things have bees accomplished in recent years: (1) watershed dam rebuilt, $20,000; (2) new garbage truck purchased, $15,000; (3) new fire truck purchased, $27,000; (4) one new police car bought and another ordered, $10,000. The town is paying its share of costs of highway im provements within the town, $41,800. A five-man police force now provides 24-hour service. Most town streets have been paved or re-paved and sidewalks rebuilt. Land has been purchased for a recreation area, and funds have been budgeted for "Operation Facelift." The town is paying matching funds for 22 meals a day for elderly ; citizens. So the town is in good shape : and is well able to suDnort the proposed project to improve ' the Fire Depart ment. Please show your support of this endeavor. Exercise your right to vote fh the Bond Referendum on Tuesday, Sept. 23, 1975. Vote for this much needed im provement in our town.
