A number of people in the
proposed annexation area of
Tryon believe that being taken in
by the Town of Tryon will make
them also pay the Tryon School
tax. This is false. If they live in
Tryon Township, they are
already paying the special Tryon
School tax. The Tryon School
System is called the Tryon City
Administrative Unit, but in
reality it is the Tryon Township
Administrative Unit.

Social Services Bd.
Says “NO” To
County
Commissioners
The Polk County Board of
Social Services voted Monday
afternoon to reject the tentative
appointment of a Social Services
Attorney appointed by the Polk
County Commissioners.
The law gives the County
Commissioners the authority to
appoint the attorney subject to
the approval of the Social
Services Board
William A. McFarland has
been serving as the attorney, but
the County Commissioners
terminated his services, and
appointed Wm. H. Miller to
succeed him. The Social Services
Board took the position that Mr.
McFarland had been doing a
good job and should have been
contacted about the position and
given the opportunity to accept or
reject the position. The Board felt
that the qualifications of the
attorneys were not involved, but
the ethics of the way the matter
was handled.
The motion was made by Paul
Butler and seconded by Ruth Ann
Arledge, and agreed to by
Clifford Stott. Joan Nash, a newly
appointed member of the Board
was not present. Harold Burrell
is the Board Chairman.
The Upstairs Players will
present American Vistas, an
evening of the poetry and prose of
Walt Whitman tonight at 8 o’clock
at 117 S. Trade St., Tryon.
