Boys Home is located in a county about five times as large as Yancey County; hot/ever, the impact of Boys Home in two areas is very important. It has helped improve the school sys tem and Boys Home has been an economic boost to Colum - bus County. Girls Haven can have an even greater impact on Yancey County. However, the most impor - tant point is the impact that can be felt by the many girls to be served. Girls Haven can offer these girls an opportunity to finish school and to become active citizens. This can be done in any section of North Carolina; however, Yancey Coturty can have this opportun ity if positive action is forth coming.

We invite everyone who at tended the Festival to share their observations and sugges - tions about it with the Depart ment of Social Services.

The Golden Eagle Ftosport which sold for $7.00 last year will be SIO.OO this season, and will permit access of one non-commercial vehicle and all its occupants to all Forest Service areas where fees are collected. Those without the passport are charged $1 • 00 per vehicle per day as an axtry fee. It also permits use of most day vse facilities and services. The only exception to this is forcer* tain highly developed areas in Florida and Virginia where a special user fee is charged in addition to the Golden Eagle Passport. The recreation charge areas on National Forests in North Carolina are: Black Mountain, Carolina Hemlock, Coontree, Davidson River, North Mills River, Lake Powhatan, White Pines, Cliffside Lake, Standing Indian, Hanging Dog, Jackrab - bit Mountain, Vanhook Glade and Neuse River on the Cretan National Forest. According to a Park Service spokesman, the Golden Eagle Passport cannot be used as cre dit towards campground fees on the Blue Ridge Parkway or in National Parks this year. In National Parts where anen - trance fee is charged the Gol - den Eagle Passport can be used for entrance but the additional camping fee will still be clsr^d. The Golden Eagle Passports can be purchased at any U. S. Forest Service Office.
