DEAR MISTER EDITOR: Did tt ever occur to you just how much Murphy and this gen eral area has to offer in the way of amusements and recreation? Well .when you stop to think about it, there is a whole passle of them. Wc have the lake here which, of course, is full of fish. Then there art the mountains which are wonderful tor hunting or just looking around. A kttle piece up the road there is the Cherokee Reservation and thi piay. ? un.o These mils." 'lhere is aiso the John C. Cam bell Folk School that can be called recreation and as well educational. By next spring, there ishould be a lot more recreational activi ties oaered at ibwassee Dam Recreation area. Get right down to the matter, Cherokee County la a right fine' place to live and work. ? Seems to me that if we let more folks know about t<t offer Ijere, there we would have more folks coj and wo*, oeuer asset could we bave tfcu more each year. II .he county did a little more advertising, like some of these spots around the country, I feel that H sure would pay off In a big way. The Wagon Train Celebration did a whole lot to help Cherokee County get national recognition, but not near enough. Sometimes when you are driving along, just try to count the number of signs you see advertising Rock CKy. R will surprise you. Sincerely. I. D. Clare Two -Way Radios Taken Out Of Cars; Can't Inforce Law, Sheriff Tells The two deputy sheriffs in Cherokee County have resigned and Sheriff Claude Anderson claims it is now impissible !o secure deputies who will work under the recently started fee system. Mr. Anderson also reported in a prepared statement that the county commissioners have taken the way radios out of the Sheriff departments cars. The sheriff says he knows of no reason for this move other than "political." Mr. Anderson said that law en forcement is all but "impossible" with just one person on duty. Charles White and Loften West resigned after their $175 monthly salary was done away with by a bill introduced in the legislature by Mrs. G. W. Cover of Andrews went Into effect. The bill stipulated that the depu ties would not receive salaries, but would collect fees for duties pre formed. Sheriff Anderson said the fee system "is insufficient for a living." Sheriff Anderson is the only full time agent of the Sheriff Depart ment at this time. He said it is al most impossible for one person to inforce the law in the county. He said that the fee system had been tried before and found not sat isfactory in other counties and be does not feel that It will work prop erly here. "Why." he said, "I foald make 130 or WO per day by the fee system if I wanted to. but I don't feel that it is right." Mr. Anderson said he has not been informed of the reason for the removal of the two-way radios from the Sheriff Department's cars. "A man just came down and tookj them out. I don't know why.' Following is the statement Mr. Anderson issued on the subject. It is presented in full. "I feel that the people of Chero kee County should be informed as to what has happened with refer ence to law enforcement in Chero kee County by the Sheriffs Depart ment. Prior to June I, 1959 there were two full time Deputy Sheriffs working in the enforcement of law in Cherokee County. These men were Charles White of Murphy and Lofton West of Andrews and these Deputy's had been receiving a salary of $175.00 per month each. Mrs. G. W. Cover, the member of the legis lature from Cherokee County intro duced a bill in the legislature which was passed and ratified terminating the salaries of both of these Deputy Sheriffs. This law became effective about June 1, 1959. After this bill became effective both of these Dep uty Sheriffs resigned and since their resignation I have been unable to procure good Deputy Sheriffs who would agree to serve on a full time basis tor fees. When the law was enacted cutting off the salaries of the Deputy Sheriffs they were placed on a fee basis which is insufficient for a living. The net result is that J have had the entire burden and responsibility of law enforcement, ?ervice of all proewa. both dvu and criminal, at well ?s the duties of jall?r. Since 1 am the only law enforcement officer now left in the Sheriffs Department on a foil time basis I find that It is difficult for one person to render the service needed and required to properly enforce the law of this county. In addition to taking die salaries from the two full time Deputy Sher iffs, the County Commissioners haw recently deprived the 8herlfts De partment of the uae of the two-way radios heretofore utilised la law as* forcemeat and uaed by the Sheriff and the two Deputies la mobiles la order that 4 radios used by the two Deputy Bill Ensley Named Coach For Andrews High ANDftEW8-Sm Eulay has Deu elected coach at Andrews High School for the 19SM0 school tern according to an annuucemcnt by Charles O. Frailer, Superintendent. A native of Bryspn City, Mr. En sley la a graduate of Swain Sigh School. Be attended Western Caro lina College and Lenoir-Rhyne Col lege in Hickory. . During the past year be was at North Bwcomte High Buncombe County. ?will begin M A the jail by order of the Board of 1 the County Commissioners and the I Sheriffs Department is now without this means of communication. I feel that the people of Cherokee County should be informed about what has happened in order that they may understand that it might be difficult to obtain tbe Sheriff or a Deputy wiUiout waiting for some j time after having called for the | reason that the Sheriff has the re | sponsibility of enforcing law j throughout the county without the ; assistance of Deputies who are full | time employees."
