Buncombe Health Officer Cites Animal Shelter Need At the July meeting of the Hay wood County Humane Association at the Parkway Knoll, the principal speaker. Dr. H. W Stevens, Bun combe County health officer, dis cussed the need for and the meth ods of obtaining an animal shel ter. Dr. Stevens said that county com missioners, through an enabling act, can establish a shelter, which would be financed by dog taxes and increased revenue by better con trol of destructive animals?such as sheep-killing dogs During a question - and - answer period. Dr. Stevens cited three principal needs of a humane soci ety: 1. A dog warden with adequate equipment ? including a radio equipped car. 2. An educational program sponsored by the humane associ ation to stimulate public aware ness of the need for animal con trol, * 3. An adequate shelter to care for unwanted and lost animals to be held for new homes or humane disposal. ' 4 Sieyens concluded by citir^^^tiures from Buncombe Countt^where an excess of 6,000 dogs was processed last year, and 17 per cent of that figure were placed in new homes.

One new home?that of a young | couple. Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Suton. and their two small boys ? was squarely in"'the path of the flood j waters in the Big Laurel section and could very easily have been ' swept completely off its founda tion. Just above their house, a barn ' and calf house on the property of ' Pearson Sutton were demolished ' and below them a bridge over Lit tle Cove Creek was swept away. Luckily .however, their dwelling 1 withstood the test. With the oerth still soaked from ' the flash flood, the Cove Creek area ' got another heavy downpour Fri day afternoon, sending streams in the section to the edge of their banks. At one home along the road, muddy water cascaded down the slopes of the front yard like a 5 waterfall. To prevent further damage. Cove Creek would have to be dredged and possibly relocated in some areas, but such a project would be extremely expensive and is not likely to be undertaken in the near future. More pressing right now is the plight of the residents of the com munity, who lost not only cash crops like hurley tobacco, but also gardens which used to feed fant- j ilies. Total damage in the area has been estimated by County Agent Virgil L. Holloway to be in excess of SI00.000. Without state or federal aid.

Washed away was 1.1 acres of burley, 1.5 acres of oats, pasture land, a garage, and recovered lat er were several tractor plows which had washed down stream. All his eatle got out, and fencing just dis appeared. Tons of valuable tppsoU washed away, as the creek left its aanks and hit into his fields. Hannah was taking the loss in its stride, as he discussed with oth- 1 ?rs plans for getting something ' ione to keep the creek from ; ipreading out all over the valle\ again.
