i -Heard And Seen By POP The extra hour of sleep Sunday morn ing, made possible by the changing of time, was welcomed. It really doesn't make too much difference to me since I become ac customed to the change after the first morn ing and night. Some people still refer to the change as "old time" and "new time" ? regardless of what we call it, it "evens up" in the end. The Marshall Baptist Church WMU's "Poor Man's Supper" last Thursday night was enjoyable, as usual. The husbands of the members are guests and are treated to a fine meal despite the absence of meat. However, there was plenty to eat and everyone enjoyed the meal and the fellowship. Mike and Jayne, our new pastor and his wife, seem to "fit in" great with our members ? incidentally, Mike not only preaches well but he alsorhas a fine voice and sings quite well. Speaking of singing, Kathy Young, wife of the Rev. Vincent Young, former pastor of the Marshall Baptist Church, has recently released a beautiful record of 10 sacred selections, "Walking In The Sunshine of His Love". Vincent and Kathy now reside in Durham where he is pastor of a church there. "Bill" and I have one of the records and are inspired every time we hear it. Not only is Kathy a very pretty lady but she has an outstanding voice. If you want to hear a truly wonderful selection of sacred songs, contact Mrs. Ed (Nell) Niles at Roberts Pharmacy here. I feel sure she will obtain a record for you. It's well worth the price. Kim English, popular member and pro moter of the Mars Hill SART program, visited the office here Saturday and it was nice to see and talk with the popular young man again. The beautiful autumn colors are quick ly fading and we are now heading into the winter months. It's high time to stat raking up the fallen leaves before the snows cover them. Although progress is being made on the pouring of sidewalks, there is still much to be done. Let's hope the "covers" soon ar rive for the gaping holes of the drainage system up and down the street. Next Tuesday is election day for town officials in Marshall, Mars Hill and Hot Spr ings. Don't neglect the opportunity to vote for the candidates you think best suited for the positions.

Southern Has Record Earnings Southern Railway Company today reported record net con solidated income of $40,713,000. equal to $2.63 per share, in the third quarter, an increase of 73.7 percent over the $23,448,000, or $1.52 per share, earned in the 1978 quarter, the previous third quarter record. L. Stanley Crane, Southern's chairman and chief executive officer, said the record quarter lifted earn ings for the nine months to $127,307,000, or $8.27 a share, also a record for any nine month period in the com pany's history and almost precisely equal to all of 1978's record earnings of $127,319,000. The quarterly earnings record was attained on record operating revenues of $367,150,000, up $58,915,000, or 19.1 percent, from $308,235,000 in the 1978 quarter.

Southern's chairman credited the record revenues both to a higher volume of business and freight rate in creases. All 12 major commodity groups handled by Southern contributed to the increase in revenues, both in the third quarter and nine months. In creases in the quarter ranged from 8.6 percent for petroleum and coal products to 32.3 per cent for primary metal pro ducts, including iron, steel and aluminum. Nine months' in creases ranged from 4.9 per cent for petroleum and coal products to 27.4 percent for coal. Chemicals, pulp, paper and allied products, and food and food products also generated substantially higher revenues both in the quarter and nine months. For the three months ending Sept. 30, Southern's chairman said revenue ton-miles of 13.7 billion increased 7.6 percent, as compared with the cor responding period last year Freight carloadings in the quarter averaged 49,258 per week, an increase of 2.8 per cent over the same period last year. TV A Asks Dismissal Of Lawsuit The Tennessee Valley Authority asked a federal court Wednesday to dismiss a suit by Cherokee Indians try ing to half the completion of its embattled Tellico Dam. In a 31-page brief filed short ly before 5 p.m. in U.S. District Court here, TVA said the Cherokees had been argu ing against the dam in Con gress and in the courts since 1965 but never raised religious freedom as an issue until their latest suit Oct. 12. The brief cited a 1977 ruling in which a federal court re jected a similar effort by Navajo Indians to stop the Glen Canyon Dam in Utah on religious freedom grounds. That case is being appealed now. The dam on the Little Ten nessee River 25 miles southwest of Knoxville had been halted for three years by the snail darter. The Supreme Court ruled that until Con gress amended the En dangered Species law, TV A could not complete the dam because it would destroy the snail darter's home. TVA completed all the work necessary for closing the dam's gates last week. Have Your Chimney Cleaned Now! David Wynn ? Wynn's Equipment Maintenance Route 6, Box 37. Marshall, N.C. 649-2659 ON SOUTHERN RAUMAl THIS COMPACT CAR TRAVELS MS MILES ON fl GALLON Of FUEl. "Guess how far it could travel on a truck!" L Stanley Craft*. Chairman. Southern Railway Syalam. Washington DC 20013 The railroad is the most efficient user of fuel ^ in the transportation industry Bar none ^ And the Southern Railway is one of the most efficient railroads in the country For instance, on the Southern a 3.089 lb compact car can travel 145 miles on one gallon of fuel How far could a truck carry it on the same amount of fuel? Well, the railroad is four times more efficient than trucks 60 times more efficient than planes and even more efficient than barges So it s easy to see that trucks can t carry freight anywhere near as far as railroads can per gallon of fuel What does this mean for the future? Well it means that trucks will be used less and less for long hauls More and more products will ride on the Southern, and trucks will be used tor distribution at the other end of the I me Because, in the coming years, only the railroad will have the energy efficiency for long hauls Wfe have the energy tor the long haul SOUTHERN t>4 ??
