And Seen By POP While the snow was falling outside the office Friday and few people were in town and little happening, I thought of how things used to be in Marshall. I'm sure many of the people around my age can remember: The movie theatre on Main Street. Four drygood stores in Marshall. Two drug stores on Main Street. Six or seven lawyers practicing here. A miniature golf course (located where City Hall is now). A lighted tennis court (located where City Hall is now). Four or five doctors making house calls at all hours. Boxing bouts at the theatre and on second floor of News-Record. Three cafes located along Main Street. The cotton mill across the river in full swing. The basketball court outside in front of main school building. Camp Sky-High on island and also on Fortner property. When Highway 25-70 was around Roberts Hill and the Walnut Creek Road was a narrow, dusty road. When swimming holes were on Walnut Creek and Hayes Run but most of the boys went down to "Rocky" via the railroad to enjoy a swim in the French Broad River. Tennis courts were popular on the Fortner property, up at Ron Sprinkle's on Hayes Run, and also at Joe Eads' home toward Rector Corner. When the telephone switchboard was located on the second floor where the Marshall Thrift Store is now located. When the post office was where the ASC office is now. When there was a hospital on the second floor of the Masonic Temple. And who could forget the Rector Hotel with its revolving dining table (located where now is Houston Brothers?). The Montezuma Hotel across the street from the French Broad Hotel (located where the French Broad EMC building is now). When Marshall had only one fire jtruck. When a Marshall policeman put a board with nails sticking up across Main Street to keep drivers from speeding? Oh well, I could go c?i and on about how things used to be, but L'd better stop for this time and get out and see what's going on NOW. Let's hope the snows will soon be a thing of the past and Spring will soon arrive.

ZS7S3 How will you live when you're ready to stop working? It's hard to imagine bang old. And wanting to quit wotk. O tot being able to work. By the time met people face this probiqp, its too late to do anything about it. Right npw, 8 out of 10 Americans over the age of 65 are barely able to get by. Young people today are spending at an . unprecedented rate? and saving very little. Social Security is not enough by itself. And its not keeping pace with inflation. Company retirement plans can help, but many are being curtailed or eliminated. If you want to be financially independent after you've quit working? its realty up to you. Its time tog# serious about saving. Hal D. Johnson, We President % The Northwestern Bnnlt, Marshall
