Dear Editors
I would publicly like to thank the many individuals who
made phone calls and personally expressed approval of my
letter to the .editor last week regarding Yates Bailey, Chair
man of the Social Services Board, and an employee of Prof
fitt's Store, Bald Creek. I found that many citizens of Bald
Creek read the letter with much concern for the people be
ing subjected to threats of checks (Welfare and Social Secur
ity) being terminated, low wages being paid in inflated
groceries, and being told howto vote. Many individuals
have already signed notarized affidavits regarding their re
lationship with Yates Bailey. Low-income and low-function
ing people have the right to be free of harassment from self
serving individuals. A federal and state agency are studying
the affidavits for proper disposition.
Several people have asked why nothing was said last week
regarding John Powers (South Toe), the third Social Services
Board member. Mr. Powers has the potential of becoming a
positive factor if he will break from the influence of Mr.
Bailey. I reiterate my gratitude to Mr. Bob Helmle for his
support and concern for individuals and the Social Service
Agency.
One way to improve our political process in local affairs
is by education and publicity as demonstrated by the excell
ent edition of The Yancey lomnal last week. Thanks again
to the many wonderful citizen of Yancey County. I hope
we continue to see imp rove mtnts in our schools and public
agencies in the days ahead, *
Sincerely,
Randall Peacock

FHA Employees At Two-Day Workshop
Employees of the Farmers
Home Administration met at
the Sheraton Hotel and Motor
Inn at Asheville, North Caro
lina, for a two-day workshop
on methods for implementing a
greatly expanding F a rme rs
Home Administration program.
Attending the meeting from
Yancey County were Paul Laugh
run, District Supervisor; Wilbur
G. Howard, County Supervisor;
Naomi L. King, County Office
Clerk; and W. Clyde Bailey,
Construction Inspector.
State Director James T John
son addressed the meeting and
praised the employees for mak
ing the North Carolina FHA pro
gram one of the largest program
in the nation. He stated that
Farmers Home Administration

raising for the numerous separ -
ate campaigns in the County.
Competitive fund raising by
school children had been regu -
larly employed in a number of
campaigns. The interference
with education, and the burden
on teachers was recognized as
detrimental to the schools, and
both teachers and school offi -
cials wholeheartedly supported
the UF when it was formed.
This will be the second time
in its history that a person
from the Yancey CountySchcols
has served as campaign chair
man. One previous year, Edgar
Hunter, then principal of Bums-*
ville Elementary School, served
in this capacity.
Cara W. Cox, wife of Hor
ace H. Cox of Route 1, Relief,
'earned her B.S. Degree at E.T.
S.U. in 1955 and her M. A. De
gree from the same school in
1970. She is currently enrolled
in graduate classes at Aj,S.U.in
Boone. She taught in the pub -
lie schools of Yancey County
from 1955 until last year when
she became principal of Cane
River High School. She is a
member of the Big Creek Free
Will Baptist Church where she
has served as Sunday School
Teacher of the Young Adult
Class.
In addition to her impressive
accomplishments in the field of
education, Mrs. Cox is mother
of three. The Coxes' daughter,
Janet, a graduate of E.T.S.U.,
Johnson City, is now living in
Atlanta and is enrolled in Geor
gia State Univesity to begin
graduate work winter quarter.
Their son, Jody, is a senior at
Cane River and their youngest
daughteris a third grader at Bee
Log Elementary School.
The threat of abandoning
the UF this year brought out a
good attendance to the emer
gency meeting called by the
Burnsville Men's Club. The
group made up of representa -
tives of the several community
clubs, showed a determination
not to give up the UF. It was
recognized that if the UF failed
last year provided some il 50
million dollars to farmers,rural
residents and-communities in
North Carolina.
Johnson s aid that Fame r s
Home Administration in North
Carolina had the best overall
program in the Nation. He
cited several "firsts" for the
State FHA, such as having the
first solid waste disposal project
in the nation, being first in to
tal number of solid waste
projects and having the largest
dollar volume for rural housing
loans of any state in the nation.
Johnson compared the
program over the last three
years and said that in 1969 FHA
loaned 65 million dollars in
North Carolina. In 1970, it in
creased to 81 million dollars.
to organize, the county would
be faced with the necessity of
having several separate fund
raising drives. Among the ac
tivities supported by the UF are
the 4-H Clubs,' orthopedic cli
nic, Red Cross, Boy and Girl
Scouts, Mental Health, Com
munity Development,, and aid
for the blind, and sight conser
vation.
Phone Service
For Schools
Edgar F. Hunter, Superinten
dent of Yancey County Schools,
has announced that a telephone
answering service has been in
stalled and will be in use from
November 1 to April 1 this ■jear.
is primarily for
spreading the word about can
celling school during bad wea
ther but will also be available
to schools for other announce -
ments, such as announcing ball
games, PTA meetings, etc.
As soon as it can be deter
mined on a given morning that
road conditions make it neces
sary to cancel school for the
day, a message will be recor
ded to announce this decision.
Normally this will be done by
6:00 a.m. This message can
be received by dialing 68 2-
6505.
Parents and students are re
quested to use this line so .that
other phone lines can be open
for contacting principals and
bus drivers. Radio station
WKYK and the Mohasco Wea
ther Line will also be used.
This service, which will
cost less than five cents per stu
dent per year, should be very
beneficial to the school com
munities as well as a safety
factor in bus transportation.
Take stock in America.
No* Bonds mature in lea* than six years.
In 1971, it went to 123 million
dollars and in 1972, to a record
150 million dollars for North
Carolina. This year's programs
are projected to exceed 18 0
million dollars or triple that of
three years ago. ‘Theseservices
have provided thousands of
North Carolinians decent ho ties,
improved rural communities by
providing central water and
sewer systems and assisting ru
ral areas in cleaning up the
countryside by providing country
wide waste disposal systems to
some 50 North Carolina coun
ties. In addition, thousands of
farmers received financial assis
tance for real estate and opera
ting type loans in a farm loan
program that doubled over the
three year period.
Johnson pointed out that
these increases have been made
with only a slight increase in
personnel and praised the em
ployees for their increased pro
duction and efficiency.
Employees received infor -
mation on new lending authori
ties provided FHA by the new
Rural Development Act which
extends FHA services for essen
tial community facilities,broa
dens the rural housing program,
provides loans to young farmers
or rural youths, and authorizes
Farmers Home Administration
to make business and industrial
loans in places up to 50,000
population.
Johnson said that existing and
new authorities now give the
agency the opportunity to pro- *-
vide financial assistance to the
total rural sector in administra
tion efforts to make rural de
velopment a reality and is ex
pected to double the present
volume over the next few years.
