Bloodmobile In Burnsville;
Today’s Goal Is 100 Pints
"Today is the day," says
Mrs. Alma Holcombe of Burns
ville, "when you can give to
the Red Cross that priceless gift
of a pint of your blood which
will help relieve the suffering,
even prolong the life of some
Yancey Countian.
"This person who receives
your blood may be a close
...end, a neighbor or abeloved
member of your family. The
life you save may even be your
very own," she said.
"Yes," says Mrs.Holcombe,
"today (Thursday, June 21) is
the day on which I urge every
one who can possibly do so, to
visit the Burnsville Armory be
tween 1 and 6 p. m. and make
his or her gift to the bloodmo
bile from the Asheville Area
Blood Center."
Me. Holcombe speaks with
authority, for she is the Blood
Program Chairman for the Yan
cey County Unit of the May
land Red Cross Chapter which
serves Yancey, Mitchell and
Avery Counties. "A quota of
at least 100 pints has been set
for today's visit of the biood
fnobile to Burnsville, " says
Mrs. Holcombe.

"If you have never given
blood before, today is your op
portunity to help begin saving
lives, because your blood, a
gift which only you can give,
may well be the means of sav
ing a life. The Red Cross
has recorded many instances
in which the blood a man or
woman has donated to the Red
Cross has been the. means of
saving his or her very own life.
"Giving blood causes only
slight inconvenience and re
quires less than an hour of your
time. If you're afraid that giv
ing blood may weaken you, re
member that the average adult
has about 10 to 12 pints of
blood in his or her body and
the pint you give the bloodmo
bile today will be replaced
within less than 48 houn.
"Some Yancey County resi
dents give every time the blood
mobile visits Burnsville. Some
donors have given a total of
more than eight gallons each.
"Don't let the regular do
nors do it all. Join them to
day and begin letting your
blood help save lives. "
the teaching of the gifted.
The special goal of the Gov
ernor's School is to enable the
student to see the relationship
between the artistic and ica -
demic disciplines. Theory, es
pecially 20th Century theory,
is stressed as the students look
far solutions to today's prob -
lems. James I. Bray, Resident
Director, and Dr. H. Michael
Lewis, Coordinator of Curricu
lum, have been meeting with
the Governor's School faculty
during the week prior to the
arrival of the students. Os the
sixty-two faculty and staff
members, forty-seven have
worked with the program pre
viously.
Twentieth Century theory
is studied and analyzed in each
of the major fields of the Gov
ernor's School. This Area I
includes English, Natural Sci
ence, French, Mathematics,
Social Science, Ait, Drama,
Choral Music, Instrumental Mu
sic, and Dance. Each student
spends approximately two
thirds of his time in his major
field of giftedness. The remain
ing time is spent in two other
areas which concentrate on ex
panding the studeit's field of
knowledge to other fields and
eventually leading him to a
greater understanding of him
self and his giftedness.

Revenue Sharing Program Report Shows
County To Expend 100% For Education
The Board of Commissioners
of Yancey County has declared
its intention to expend the en
tire $138,000 received under
the federal revenue sharing pro
gram for the first half of 1973
on the county's school construc
tion program. The greater part
of this money will go toward
the construction of the new
high school.
This declaration of inten
tion was made in a formal re
port filed this week with the
U.S. Treasury Department,
which administers the revenue
sharing program. At the same
time, the town board of Burns
ville filed a comparable report
stating their intentions regard
ing the expenditure of the
$17,000 which the town is re
ceiving for the first half o f
this year.
Burnsville plans to spend
$5, 500 of its revenue sharing
money on the rebuilding of
sidewalks, $5,000 for construc
tion work on the library,s4,ooo
on a new accounting machine,
and $2, 500 for the financial
administration of the town.
These reports, it was point
ed out by both Chairman Oscar
Deyton of the county commis
sioners, and Mayor James Ang
lin of Burnsville, do not cover
the entire receipts to date of
revenue sharing money, but

sen, Forest Supervisor of the Na
tional Forests in North Carolina.
This will be held by the Senate
Interior and Insular Affairs Com
mittee at the Roanoke Civic
Center —Exhibit Hall, starting
at 9:30 a. m.
Thorsen said the hearings are
on proposals to designate areas
in the'Eastern United States for
National Wilderness Act preser
vation. The proposed areas in
Noith Carolina are: The Craggy
Mountain Area, Joyce Kilmer-
Slickrock Area and the Pocosin
Area of Eastern North Carolina.
Two Bills will be considered,
S-316 and S-938. The first
Bill, if passed, will make 28
instant wilderness areas. Senate
Bill #938 provides for study of
53 areas for possible wilderness
designation.
Senator Henry Jackson, D-
Washington, co-sponsored both

only that portion allotted for
the first half of the current
year. The amounts received
for 1972 were even larger than
the funds covered by the re
ports just filed, and both county
and town have broad latitude
regarding the expenditure of
this money. This money is
now on deposit in special ac
counts, and to date no final
decision has been made re -
garding its expenditure.
When announcement was
made that all the revenue shar
ing money covered by the cur
rent report was to be spent on
school construction, some con
cern was expressed that the
county commissioners had fail
ed to provide for the necessary
renovation of the old Northwes
tern Bank building, which is
to be converted into the county
library. The commissioners
pointed out, however, that
the considerable revenue shar
ing money from the 1972 al
lotment is still available for
the library project.
Licenses Must
Be Obtained
Mr. T. J. Leatherwood, Re
venue Collector, urges taxpay
ers who are liable for State
privilege licenses to procure
them before July 1, 1973. Ac
cording to Mr. Leatherwood,

tance, should be mailed to the
North Carolina Department of

Revenue office. He advises
that the penalty for failure to
comply will be 5 % for each de -
linquent month, or fraction
thereof.

views to their governing boards.

will be made periodically to

Crafts Fair
Has Grown
At the 17th annual
ell Crafts" Fair on August 3 and

ber of craftsmen presenting a
wide variety of crafts. The
craftsmen will come mostly
from Yancey and nearby neigh

be others from various places
in Noith Carolina and at least
five other states.
The Fair has continued to
grow and attract a larger num
ber of craftsmen from its be
ginning by the Parkway Hay
house in the summer of 1956.
Later, when the Yancey County
Chamber of Commerce began
to sponsor the Fair, there was
c ontinued growth which has
made the annual event a big
attraction for Yancey County.
Along with the craftsmen
and their crafts, there are gimes,
entertainment, and the chicken
barbecue on Saturday to draw
both the young and old to two
days of fun at the Fair.
Local 196 Sales and Use Tax
