Emma Kate McDevitt and
Cheryl Ezell performed well
as volunteer librarians at
Walnut Elementary this week.
The purpose of covering
elementary sports events in
this column is not only to in
form the readers of the ac
tivities, but encourage and
reward the little players, who
are 'tomorrow's' athletes, for
learning and achieving. In ad
dition to the need for recogni
tion, they have another need
which should not be overlook
ed. That is the need to learn
good sportsmanship. Failure
of a coach to cultivate and
employ sportsmanlike tactics
deprives their players and is
apalling to the spectators. Ad
vocating questionable tactics
can be in jurous to both the op
posing players and their own
players and invites public ex
posure.
Let's all do what we can to
promote a good sportsman
ship attitude in those in our
trust, in the hopes that their
future athletic abilities and
conduct will mirror good,
thorough early training we've
provided.

the town's ministers to get their ideas. Wild
said, "I'd like to see e ministerial alliance here
in Marshal] I've seen the sort of incredible
work and tremendous success such an
organization can have when people work
together."
The mayor-elect said she welcomes sugges
tions as she prepares to take office. "I think the
most important part of my Job is listening.
Everyone should have a right to have their pro
blems listened to. People aren't asking for
anything that's impossible. You don't need to
spend a million dollars to improve things."
Wild said she would proceed with planned
improvements to Town Hall recommended by
the TVA's Town Lift program. Regarding the
proposed improvements, Wild said, "Anything
we can do to make Marshall a better place will
be looked into." She added that Ruth Gregory is
working to have some of the recommended
landscaping improvements made.
People have been asking, "Who is Betty
Wild?" since news of her victory in the
municipal election spread across the county.
Wild, the first woman mayor in Marshall
history, is a Michigan native. Her husband, a
native of the Big Pine section, moved to River
Rouge in 1950. the couple have three daughters,
Barbara, Margaret and Diana.
The Wilds returned to Madison County in
1980. Although mayor of Marshall will be her
first public office, she said she was active in
Democratic Party politics for 25 years in
Michigan and once ran an unsuccessful cam
paign for the River Rouge school board.
Asked what she thought turned the election
in her favor, Marshall's mayor-elect said,
"Prayers, good people and hard work." Wild
waged a door-to-door campaign to unseat
Lawrence Ponder from the seat he had held for
the past six years. Of her campaign, Wild said,
"No promises were made and I think that was
the biggest factor. We'll start out better."
At the conclusion of her interview, the
mayor-elect was presented with a copy of the
state Open Meetings Law.

Rom, chairman of the
co and peanuts, and other
tobacco strategist* warned
that upsetting the dairy
legislation would have doom
ed chances (or passing tobac
co legislation to which the
dairy package is tied.
"A vote for Conable was a
vote against tobacco," Rose
said in an interview.
He said he was sorry the
three North Carolina con
gressmen voted for Conable,
and he said Martin's
Democratic opponent in the
1964 governor's race could use
it as ammunition against the
Republican.
"I would be surprised if the
Democratic nominee was not
fully cognizant of this," Rose
said.
Martin told reporters that
Rose's comment was
"absurd" and that he sup
ported the tobacco legislation.
He said he voted for the Con
able amendment because it
would have benefited North
Carolina dairy farmers.
The House defeated the Con
able amendment by a vote of
250-174. It would have cut
dairy support prices by as
much as $1.50 per 100 pounds.
The House later voted 325-91
to approve the dairy legisla
tion and go directly .to con
ference with the Senate, which
has already approved a dairy
tobacco bill. Martin voted for
the dairy legislation on the
final vote, and the only North
Carolinian to vote against the
final passage was Broyhill.
The dairy bill would pay
farmers to cut milk produc
tion, reduce dairy support
prices by 50 cents and collect
money to promote dairy pro
ducts.
minor and predicted no real
probelms in winning final
passage. Both Rose and
Whitley predicted there would
be no presidential veto
because of the political
damage that could do Presi
dent Reagan and Sen. Jesse A.
Helms, R-N.C., if they seek re
election next year.
Helms, who is chairman of
the Senate Agriculture Com
mittee, led the effort to pass
the Senate version of the
legislation that is almost iden
tical to the House dairy
measure and the administra
tion now has decided to op
pose.
Rose told reporters because
of scheduling difficulties the
conference committee would
not meet until Monday,
postponing final House and
Senate voting on the con:
ference report until late next
week at the earliest.
Congress is scheduled to ad
