to those of the firemen, for years
of faithful service Mr. Owens has
given as chief.
The Tryon Kiwanis Travelo
gue, “Canada’s Many Faces”
will be at the Fine Arts Center
Thursday at 8 p.m.
For those who like gymnastics,
the Fifth Annual Landrum High
School Gymnastics Invitation
(Girls) will be held Saturday at
the Landrum gym.
Sunday at 3 p.m. the Tryon
Photographic Society will pre
sent Davis Kirby showing his
slides with sound on “Egypt” at
the Fine Arts Center.
We would like to call your
attention to the communication
on the front page from Bill
Hawkins. The old Tryon Youth
Center building was torn down
without provisions being made
for another building or location.
The Tryon Youth Board (assum
ing there is still one) has done
nothing about it and seems
content at the status quo. They
put on the Youth Theatre
Production each summer and
apparently feel that this meets
the needs of the youth. Maybe the
Youth Board will answer Bill’s
question.

DELEGATIONS SPEAKS FOR
EXTENSION PROGRAM

urged that this be seriously
considered. Paul' Culberson,
retired Education Service Direc
tor, felt the county can support
the 4-H program and also that the
agency brings back more to the
County than any other agency.
Others attending the meeting also
spoke in favor of spending the
small amount for the 4-H over the
larger amounts spent in other
ways. Sauve reiterated that she
did not know how the contingency
fund stood, that they would
consider it, and that in a week or
10 days they would know and let
the Extension office know at that
time.
A public hearing was set for 11
February, at 3:00 p.m. in the
Courthouse, for the proposed
building code ordinance.
In other business, County
Manager Wagner was advised to
get estimates on building a ramp
to the Courthouse; to advertise
for the Economic and Develop
ment Commission position va
cated by Laddie Horne’s resigna
tion and to advertise for a
maintenance man at the Jervey-
Palmer building. The Nursing
Home Advisory Committee
members will be reappointed if
willing. — League of Women

a committee to work on a new
Youth Center for the area young
people. As you can see, there is
still no place for the young people
of Tryon to go.
If the Town Council and County
Commissioner’s can give money
for drug busts, could they not
give money or begin a program
for a youth center? After all, isn’t
the best way to combat a problem
by cracking down on it before it
starts? I would like to know what
Mr. Tucker proposes for the
problem at hand.
Sincerely,

Never add salt to frozen
vegetables when cooking in the
microwave oven. Microwave
cooking brings out the natural
salt in vegetables; any additional
salt will dehydrate them and the
results will be tough and dry. If
needed, add salt only after
cooking.
Davis Kirby’s
“Egypt”
This Sunday afternoon, at 3
p.m., in the auditorium of the
Tryon Fine Arts Center, The
Tryon Photographic Society will
present Davis G. Kirby showing
his color slides with sound
accompaniment telling about
“Egypt” from his own inimitable
viewpoint.
Mr. and Mrs. Kirby flew to
Egypt in February of last year
landing at Cairo Airport. From
there they flew south, above the
river Nile, to Aswan Dam where
they.boarded the Nile river boat
“Delta”, which cozily accommo
dated their party of 52 in 26
staterooms. Thier leisurely
cruise downstream, “up” from
Aswan to Cairo, was 600 miles
long and took two weeks.
Numerous stops with side trips
were made enroute to visit
historic ruins, view the country-
side, and observe the Egyptian
people in their daily business of
living. Davis Kirby’s slides and
commentary are a fascinating
record of that cruise.
Davis Kirby’s skill as a
photographer is evident in his
striking compositions showing
the usual Egyptian artifacts and
ruins from his own unique
viewpoint. His insight in captur
ing human interest aspects tells
the viewer much about the
people, history, politics, and
economic problems of Egypt,
both past and present. You will
learn: — why Mark Twain would
have been very much at home on
this cruise; the degree of
“Women’s Lib.” in Egypt’s past
and present; about a “Donkey
Serenade”; about family life and
affection in ancient Eygpt; and
much more.
All are welcome — admission is
free — and a free-will offering for
the benefit of the Tryon Fine Arts
Center may be given at the door.
