The two clinics were held
last week even though it was
cold and wet. Pro William

and answered questions. We

the last two clinics this week
and the Pro-Ladies Day when
William Deck will golf with

mean shots and give much
needed advice.

caps and how they are
established. Keep those
scores coming.
Bertie Van Dell gave a
Treasurers Report.
A Social Committee was
selected with the results as

With gals like these, the
picnic and other social events
will be a great success.
The Ladies League bought
hanging plants to dress up the
deck of the club house.
A last reminder about the
Cookout Thursday, June 16 at

Social Security
Questions
Cf. 1 was told that if I apply
for supplemental security
income the things I own may
make me ineligible, even
though I don’t have any
money coming in to speak of.
Is this true?
A. Possibly. But you
should check with your social
security office and let them
‘determine if your countable
resources exceed the limit. If
you exceed the limit by a
small amount you may still

Convention were elected at

qualify for payments if you
agree to sell the excess
resources within a specified
period of time.
Q. I find I have to wait
longer when I go to a social
security office now than 1 did
several years ago. What
happened?
A. Social security office
traffic has increased in recent
years, particularly since the
Social Security Administra
tion began administering the
supplemental security income
program for the aged, blind,
, and disabled. One way to
avoid waiting is to call first
and conduct your social
security business by phone,
whenever possible. If you
must visit a social security
office, you’ll find that the best
times are the end of the week
and the end of the month.

Dear Editor:
We were visiting your lovely town on a vacation
trip and staying at a cabin op on Mitchell Road. The
••severe storm on Jane 6th brought down several
large trees on our three parked cars, completely
covering them with tranks and a litter of branches.
Our neighbor, Mr. Higgins, got in touch with
the authorities, and we were really impressed with
the speedy arrival of help. We would very much
like to express our appreciation to the Yancey
County Rescue Squad, who showed up even before
the rain had subsided; die officers from the
Burnsville Police and the Highway Patrol, and the
towing service from Roberts Chevrolet service.
The efficiency and friendly helpfulness of these
gendemen and others in your town are the happy
memories we took home with us.
Sincerely,
Esther V. Flory, Snow Hill, Md.
Doris J. Boiler, Wilmington, Delaware
Helen Dike, Rochester, N.Y.

Dear Editor:
(hi behalf of the Yancey County Chamber of
Commerce I would like to take this means of
expressing our gratitude to Mr. and Mrs. Troy
McCurry for die time and expense both of them
have Incurred in locating and planting the beautiful
flowers which highlight our Town Square.
“You both have set examples for all the citizens
of this county to look up to and follow. We, at the
Chamber, are proud to be associated with you.”
The Chamber expresses its thanks and warm
regards. r
Sincerely yours,
Richard G. MiUer, President
Dear Editor:
We, the senior citizens and beneficiaries of the
services rendered by the WAMY Organization of
Yancey County give our response to the fallacious
charges made against the organization by Mrs.
Nona Hensley, according to “the way she sees it.” '
We, the senior citizens would like to inform the
general public that we see it from a different
prospective. We see a group of honest, efficient,
conscientious, godly people, dedicated to the cause
of the aged, who have borne the burden and heat of
the day-those who are now facing the sunset.
We see them in the early morning on the
winding mountain roads and in the deep glens
gathering in the elderly who are sometimes poverty
stricken, weak and inform; transporting them to the
nutrition center where they are given five free
meals every week. There the food Is wholesome
and die fellowship is sweet And not one person is
ever rejected because of race, color, creed,
financial assets or social standing. Moreover, crafts
are taught, recreation provided and inspiration
found.
Twice every month the van runs to Asheville
and twice to Spruce Pine for the benefit of the aged.
Whether for medical attention, shopping, or
visitation, we have the privilege of going. And the
drivers of the van often exemplify the Good
Shepherd in gathering in the stray‘sheep at the end
of the day.
It is true, Mr. Editor, that some of the elderly
have attained to the height of wealth and fame,
whereas others of us possess very little of this
world’s goods. But be they clothed in silk and satin,
or in rags and strings, no person, the way we see it,
has ever been slighted at the nutrition center.
That isn’t all. The night is never too dark, too
rainy, or stormy for the WAMY van to carry the
sick and suffering to the hospital in an emergency.
And to all those affiliated with that organization,
especially Mrs. Hazel Thomas, Mrs. Mildred
Gilley, Mrs. True Elliott, Mrs. Zella Buchanan, and
Anita, the-Senior Citizens bid God’s speed.
In the language of Paul to the saints of
Thessalonka, “we thank God for you all.”
Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for whatever
consideration you can give for the publication of our
reply to Mrs. Nona Hensley’s indictment.
We are sincerely,
The Senior Citizens of Y ancey County
