Carol Cloud, daughter of
Russell and Inky Cloud, may be
on television tonight. She played
the part of a bank teller in the
episode of “Unsolved Mysteries"
scheduled to be aired tonight.
However, the show may be pre-
empted due to the extended news
broadcasts from the Persian
Gulf. And her part was so small,
Inky said, that the footage of
Carol may have ended up on the
editing room floor.

911 Start-Up
To Be Feb. 14
The new Emergency-911
telephone service for Polk County
should be operational by Feb. 14,
the Board of Commissioners
learned on Monday.
Some emergency calls have
already been received by dis
patchers working the 911 lines,
but county residents were urged
not to call 911 before the service
officially begins. The lines are
tied up this week by callers
verifying the information they
supplied about themselves to be
sure it has been entered into the
911 computer correctly.
Bill Rhodes told the board that
workers in the new 911 communi
cations room below the Sheriff’s
office Monday had recieved 200
calls from telephone customers
calling to verify their
information, and he expected a
'Tol-more that evening. Rhodes is
an officer with Interact, the Ashe
ville computer company which
sold Polk its equipment.
Rhodes said 6,000 information
sheets were mailed to Polk
County residences and
businesses. He said about 70
percent of those have been
returned, and urged any area
residents who have not returned
their form to do so immediately.
Workers eventually will have to
call those whose forms have not
been returned.
Call-ins to verify emergency
information are being accepted
from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Columbus

Friend Of Hospice
A lady of refinement, talented
in music and poetry, always
eager to assist someone with
special needs, Sarah Darnall and
her late husband through the
years helped to finance the
education of countless young
persons.
Widowed in middle life, Mrs.
Darnall continued with generous
deeds of all kinds with lasting
effect upon many lives.
When a Hospice program
emerged in the Polk community,
its concept of care for persons
terminally ill caught and held the
interest of Mrs. Darnall,
culminating in a substantial
bequest to Hospice of Polk
County. Her donations formerly
given annually can continue
through earnings accruing from
funds she bequeathed to Hospice.
Sarah Darnall, “Aunt Sarah”
to many in her town of Tryon,
lived to age 102, passing on in
October 1989, a full life not to be
soon forgotten. Her support of
Hospice, both past and future,
will carry an extended and much
appreciated benefit to the
community.
A salute to a valiant and
generous lady. — Reporter.
