For our many newcomers into Wilkes County let’s review the personnel of The Yadkin Valley Flying Service, Inc., which ope rates our local field. Woodruff Wallice is president of the cor poration, and is the manager of all operations and student in struction. Cecil Bumgarner, the vice president, supervises all servicing and maintenance work.

The Girl Smut orgwplwflon Last Sunday morning a group of local avlatlom enthusiasts flew to Danville. Virginia for a special Breakfast Club meeting. Those flying from the North WU- kesboro airport Included Mr. and Mrs. Pat Elleir, Charles Sink, Mary Charles Alexander, Cecil Buragarnre, Ivan Bauguss, Clay F Pardue and Mr. and Mrs. John ■Wallace. They made the trip In five planes from our field. There were also nine planes frota the Elkin airport on the trip. This Breakfast Club idea for flyers is really novel. Seems that an organization has been form ed known as the Carolina Area Breakfast Club. Members of the club meet at a different city In the Carolinas every Sunday morn ing. The local airport officials arrange a breakfast for the en tire group, and the local flyers serve as hosts. A wonderful way to know your neighbors. since Its beginning in The Wll- keahoros. The GlPl Scout Council has grown into an associatlonal unit this year, and it has promise of becoming a County Council by next year, which council would provide every community with the privilege of organizing Girl Scout Troops. The Girl Scout organization in the WiIke.sboros is operated and supported by free will gifts of, Wilkes parents, citizens, busi ness firms. Therefore the organ ization may become as effective and as large as Wilkes citizens wish. Each year the Girl Sco'it coun cil sends out copies of the budget in order that all may know how the money is spent. Fifty per cent of registration dues go to national headquarters to support the national staff. The national is doing a tremendous task in the rehabilitation of girls in war torn countries. The history of the Girl Scout organization cannot be reviewed without naming Mrs. Thomas Einley, who gave her time and talent to Its progress fOr a num ber of years. Dou^twt was serving with remarkable success. Mrs. R. S. Gibbs serves as Council Assistant and Advisor and is lending much toward ad vancement in the Girl Scout pro gram of the Wilkesboros. The registration now shows a membership of 273, a gain of'40 me.mbers within a year. The council is happy that the troop in Woodlawn negro school is doing good work, and it is the plan of the council to foster a troop In the Lincoln Heights school. The membership contains names of fifty Brownlee who should continue in Glnl Scouting until they become seniors. Below is a list of GlrH Lead ers for 1946-47: Miss Anne Hayes, Mrs. R. E.

Figures released in a special report of the United States De partment of Commerce gave North Carolina a per capita in come of $732.00 for the year 1945, the national average being $1,150.00. The per capita farm income Is evem less. North Caro lina Is near the bottom of the list In comparison to other states of the nation. The following states were in the $700.00 to $800.00 bracket; North Carolina, Ala- .bama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Kentucky. South Carolina and Arkansas were In the $600.00 to $700.00 bracket, and Mlssiwlppl, which was the lowest, was be tween $500.00 and $600.00.
