CITY GCVERMCtrr OUTLINED TO A B STUDENTS
The students' assembly progran of Thursday,
December 10, was a most interesting lesson In
city government by outstanding nenbers of the
City of Asheville.
The speakers were J. Weldon Weir, City flanager,
Carl B. Hyatt, Jr., Director of Public Safetyj
and Charles Dennld, Director of Public Works.
Weir's comments on the operation of council-
manager form of govemnent was detailed and
enlightening. He explained how revenue is
raised, the property evaluation system used and
other points of interest to the students.
Dermid spoke on the operations of the Sana-
tation Department, Motor, Transport, Parks and
Recreation Departments and how they function.
The Sanitation Department is advanced to the
point that all the person has to do "is put the
refVise in their containers." Centred to raainy
other cities, this is an unusual convenience.
Hyatt elaborated on the services performed ly
the Public Safety Department, such as air pol
lution control, "which is keeping our mountain
air clear and fresh," construction rules and
regulations to Insure at least minimum stand
ards of quality, and safety inspection through
out the city.
"Standards for law enforcement officers are
being raised in Asheville," ^yatt said. More
benefits offered in these positions will bring
a higher caliber of applicants.
Members of the audience asked questions con
cerning property evaluation, the new causeway,
and services to the recently annexed areas.
Other questions would have been covered but for
the alloted time schedule.

Associate Editor Kargot Greig, while attending
to Crier production, was locked In the tower
with the key and was not released until the
gallant "Mr. Baker" heard her cries. Margot
threw down the keys to her "Imight in a trench-
coat", who released her from her imprislonnent.
We thinl( she deserves a Crier Cross Medal for
service above and beyond the call of duty.

The colored lights will be low, and shlry
silver baubles will twinkle on the celling. A
point of Interest will no doubt be the big red
bathtub filled with Cokes and ice. The "happy-
