Outdo, Matter, OaorgU One day I looked out of ur windows and wondered, Why don't our neighbors rash their dirty windows?" But when I washed our rindows, I saw that their rindows were clean. Now when I am tempted o criticise others, I ask, Am I looking through my lirty windows?" Our Lord said, "Do not udge, or you too will be udged." Criticism is a iludgeon and a boomerang. If we judge, we will be udged. By whom? Our ?'ather in heaven and our fellows on earth. So only the faultless has a right to look for faults in others. We have enough to correct in our lives without seeking to correct the lives of others. Our Lord said, "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" It is only as the Spirit of Christ dominates us that the spirit of criticism will depart from us. Carl Edwards To Be Honored Carl Edwards of Route 1, I Mars Hill, will be honored | with an open house Sunday, Aug. 14 from 2-4 p.m. at Gabriels Creek Baptist Church fellowship hall in celebration of his 90th birth day. This open house will be given by his family, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Edwards of Mars Hill and Mr. and Mrs. Ray Edwards of Oak Ridge, Tenn. fund raisers by the auxiliary . m/4/hik ll-^lai>. Ij r . L. . unoer ikicd ? odoct t nc suq, the company will be hard pressed to replace its one old truck. The company has no beepers and no two-way radio on the truck, he said. The $15,000 the company expects to get from the new funding will help with these problems, he said, but not entirely solve them. And even the Marshall fire company, which gets money from the town and from the Smoky Mountain Fire Tax District in an area about four miles around the town, raises funds with a barbecue and the annual carnival and rodeo, plus donations ? and is still hard-pressed for funding. A new truck on order will arrive in parts, with several members of the 26-member department volunteering to assemble it as a cost-saving measure. This way, Marshall's $15,000 share of the new funding will largely go to pay for the new truck. The 25-member Mars Hill department, which gets $20,000 annually from the town, $1,500 from the county and $1,500 from the college and raises funds through its annual auto show, is the only company that has been able to order a firetruck to be built to specifications for mountain fire-fighters. The truck will cost $118,000. With money so tight, new companies in Laurel and Spr ing Creek have resorted to some creative use of resources. Laurel's Chief Cut shall tells how last year Jim Anders donated use of two and a half acres on which firemen raised a tobacco crop, and this year Jim Plemmons has donated the use of two acres. Proceeds went for a new 82-ton truck with a tank built at cost by Apple Stove. The tank and a makeshift pump were installed by volunteers. The 10 men and Ave women in the department have manag ed to get timber from the government ? and, with their $15,000 grant, plan to start work on a fire house. Meanwhile, over in Spring Creek, the 25 West Madison volunteers have been operating with a truck put : together from usable parts i from two Army surplus i trucks, and two out-dated CAROL ANDERSON, Hot Springs Fire Chief, left and Hot Springs mayor Debbie Ponder Baker, center accept check from Speaker of the House Liston Ramsey. trucks given Dy ueaveraam and West Buncombe depart ments. The department has also raised money through a revival, bingo and a matching U.S. Forest Service grant, plus materials and labor for the firehouse. Its $40,000 grant, largest in the county, wil go toward a new firetruck, says Chief Bobby Clark. When Marshall, Mars Hill and West Madison get their new trucks, response will be improved substantially in all parts of the county. The new Mars Hill truck will better serve such areas as Wolf Laurel; the new Marshall truck will be able to get over the gap to Hot Springs faster to serve as backup to Hot Spr ings, and West Maaison s truck won't break down on its way to' a fire as the present truck does. The grants will also yield other long-term benefits. Because Marshall won't have to pay off debt on its new truck, it can focus on its next goal; a firehouse on the bypass, from which response will be mostly downhill in stead of consistently uphill as at present. All officials agreed that the concept of satellite companies must be developed. Places that get fire companies started, said one official, are "the ones that have spirit ? the ones where the people all work together. You have to ad mire that."
