The counting of noses in Transylvania County
is over, but the final tabulation has not been made.
It is anticipated that the county will have an in
crease of approximately 25% over the 1940
count, which will be one of the largest, if not the
largest, in Western North Carolina.
Mrs. Mary Wallin, wife of Fred Wallin of
Refining, is shown above counting the Byrds. At
so much per person counted, we imagine that this
was a very profitable call. Seated 1. to r.; Johnny,
6 years old; David, 4; Ruby. 7; Mrs. Byrd; Ray
(Inspection Department); and Mrs. Wallin.
Standing, 1 to r.: Margaret, 9; Mary Katherine,
17; Donald, 15; Betty Jo, 13; and Harry Lee, 11.
William who is 19 years old, was not at home
when the photograph was taken.
