from a company located outside
the county made a specially fa
vorable impression. Its sizeable
amount testifies both to the
generosity of Yancey Countians
who drive to work at the thread
plant, and to the generous spirit
of the company in supporting
the valuable programs included
in our UF budget.
The Yancey County united
appeal which got off to a lata
than usual start this year, is row
in full swing, and the giant size
thermometer standing in the
Burnsville square is recording
the progress made.
A number of contributions

inclusion in the Century Club
or Patrons Club, The former
gives recognition to those who

U.S, Army Photograph
Painter Visits Art Classes Here
Last month, Mis. Etna Leon took a three-week "busman's
holiday" from her job as an artist-illustrator at the Military
Police School at Ft. Gordon and attended "Painting in The
Mountains" art school in Burnsville. Painting from morning
until night—sometimes until midnigiit—she produced fifty
wat ere olors. Twelve of these paintings will be among the
36 watercolors on exhibit at a one-man show at the Augusta-
Richmond County Public Library from December 2 til Jan. 10.
Two very special works that will be shown are "The Lantern"
and "The Poet". The first is a painting of a lantern just out
side the Painting in The Mountains school. "The Poet" is a
profile of John Beecher, renowned for his poetry, who was visi
ting the school and consented to pose.

John Parris
Parris' three other books are
out of print and have become
collectors' items. Total sale
of the three books was approxi
mately 45,000 copies.
The continuing demand for
a fourth volume prompted the
decision to publish "These Stor
ied Mountains," which will in
clude many of Parris' columns
on old ways and mountain his
tory as well as much of the new
material the author has deve -
loped since his last book.
Parris, a resident of Sylva,
returned to his native western
North Carolina in the late
1940's after a distinguished car
eer as a foreign correspondent
with Associated Press and Uni
ted Press. Since that time, he
has devoted himself to writing
about mountain people, places
and events
"These Storied Mountains,"
is available for the Christmas
season through the Yancey

Couneil To
Administer +
The Yancey County Council
at its November meeting voted
to assume program administra -
tion of a child development pro
ject funded with $114,000 of
Federal money for its first pearfc
operation. In assuming this
management role the County
Council demonstrates the im
portant service the Council is
rendering the county.
The Yancey County Child
Development Committee which
is a working component of the
Council, is making plans for
setting up two child develop -
ment day-care centers in the
county. The $114,000 for the
first year's operation of the
program comes from grants
from the Appalachian Region
al Commission and the Health,
Education, and Welfare De
partment..
The day-care centers will
be along the lines of the present
child development center opera
ted in Burnsville by the County
Social Services Department.
T entative plans call for two
centers, one in the east end of
the county, the other in the
west.
This day-care project is all
a part of a major program of
the Eastern Appalachian Child
ren's Council, an organization
of which 13 counties in the wes
tern part of the State are mem
bers. The headquarters of this
organization is in Marion, and
a total of nearly $3,000,000
is being provided for the first
year's operation of the program.
Child development center; will
be established in all thirteen
counties.
The Yancey County Child
Development Committee con
sists of the following members
Chairman Charlie Hensley,Wro
da McNeill, Norris Deyton, Dr.
Fergus Pope, Shirley McAllis—
ter, Nancy Shaw., Marilyn Ktur
zweiler, Wanda Austin, Suzan -
na Jones and Ruby Smith.
Chairman Hensley states
that much planning work re-
mains before the day-care cen
ters get into operation.
The centers will serve pri
marily children, aged three
through five, of low income
families, in many cases mak
ing it possible for the mothers
to obtain employment. Surveys
are now being made to deter
mine the number and location
of eligible children in the
county.
A requirement of the prog
ram is that the agencies os -
suming administration of the
projects be responsible charter
ed corporations. The Yancey
County Council which has been
incorporated as a non - profit
organization, was fortunately
in a position to assume the ma
naging role.
Banks Square
Is Progressing
Recent legal notification of
the dissolution of Banks Family
Square, 61c. as printed in the
Journal has prompted a qiestion
on the part of some people as
to whether the proposed shop
ping center would be built.
This notice has been run
only because the companyoper
ating Banks Family Square shop
ping center is being changed
from a corporation to a partner
ship, It in no way affects the
plan or purpose of the center,.
More positive progress in the
construction of the center shmld
begin to appear now that the
steel, which has caused an un
due delay, begins to arrive.
Dividend From
Northwestern
The trustees of Northwestern
Financial Investors declared a
dividend for the period ending
October 31, 1972, in the amount
of $. 29 per share. The divi
dend will be payable Decem
ber 15, 1972, to shareholden
