Operation Child Find Faces Marshall's Town Hall was occupied by goblins, witches, smurfs, pirates and Uncle Sam-lookalikes last Wednesday afternoon. The strange creatures were lured to Town Hall by Operation Child Find, a project to provide parents with finger prints of their children. Before the afternoon party was over, some 237 children of all sizes wearing costumes were fingerprinted by Sheriff's Dept. deputies and members of the Marshall Police Dept. The fingerprinting project was the suggestion of Marshall town employees Linda Dodson and Peggy Loomis. Refreshments and materials were supplied by the Marshall Merchants Association, WWNC and the Madison Central Op timists Club. Joining in to help make the party a success were Marion Wallin, Mayor Betty Wild and her husband, Lewis, Dept. of Social Services workers Debbie Williams, and Frank Ogle, Clate Grinds taff, Joe Griffey, Larry and Janice Davis, the Marshall Brownie Troop and Girl Scouts and Dean Shields of WMMH. Sheilds donated $25 in prize money to the winners of a costume contest. The contest was judged by Shields, Marion Wallin and Brenda Parker. Many Main Street merchants were visited by the trick or treaters and candy was distributed by members of the Mer chants' Assoociation. Deputy Gate Grindstaff, who has volunteered his time for other fingerprinting projjects in Mars Hill and Beech Glen, said Wednesday's turnout of youngsters was the largest he had seen in the county. The Merchants Association is planning a follow-up to reach children not fingerprinted at Wednesday's party.
