A Little Mixed Up
Just a line to say I'm living.
That I'm not among the dead,
Tho' I'm getting more forget
ful and more mixed up in the
head
For sometimes I can't
remember, When I stand at the
foot of the stair, If I must go up
for something, Or if I've just
come down from there.
And before the frig'so often
My poor mind is filled with
doubt, Have I just put the food
away, or Have I come to take
some out?
And, then there's times when
it is dark out, With my night
cap on my head, I don't know if
I'm retiring - or just getting out
ofbed.
So, if it's my turn to write
you. There's no need in getting

Tournament Money
Stays In County
The 3rd Annual Kiwanis Golf
For Youth tournament has
already raised over $2,000,
before the first golfer tees off.
The deadline for player
applications is Friday, April 26.
Applications are available from
any Kiwanian, at local golf
courses, and at The Tryon Daily
Bulletin office.
The 18-hole, Captain's
Choice tournament will be
played Monday, April 29 at Red
Fox Country Club.
Businesses from across the
community have signed on as
sponsors of the Tryon Kiwanis
Club's annual fundraiser.
"Even in uncertain economic
times, local industry leaders,
merchants and financial institu
tion officers have offered their
support of the youths in the
area," said Carl Wharton,
chairman of the tournament
committee.
Wharton said not only do all
the profits of the tournament go
to youth programs, but all the
money stays in the area.
Some of the Kiwanis youth
projects include Terrific Kids, a
personal achievement award
program in the elementary
schools; Invent America; Super
Saturday; high school Key
Clubs and scholarships.
In addition, Kiwanis works
with 4-H, little league, soccer,
and Boy Scouts, Wharton said.

Wolverine Soccer
After taking a 7-0 beating
from Asheville Christian
Academy the first time they
met, the Wolverine Soccer team
was able to hold them to three
goals Saturday afternoon, fal
ling 3-0.
Asheville Christian Academy
led 1-0 until the middle of the
second half. Polk County only
had two substitutes Saturday so
Asheville Christian Academy
was able to wear them down
and score two goals late in the
game.
Coach Preston said Jennifer
McConnell did a super job in
the goal, recording 18 saves.
He commented that the girls
played hard and began talking
to each other on the field. The
Wolverines discovered they
could dribble and pass on
offense. Coach Preston was
pleased with their efforts.
The Wolverine Soccer team
travels to Brevard Wednesday,
April 14.

Youth Corps Project
Planned In Polk Co.
They may have dropped out
of high school and have no job,
but if area planners reach their
goals several of those same
youths may soon be starting up
companies in Polk County.
The Appalachian Regional
Commission has awarded Polk
a $14,300 grant for a youth
corps project.
The grant will be adminis
tered by the Isothermal Plan
ning and Development Com
mission (IPDC) and the Region
C Private Industry Council
(PIC). Kay Foster and Mike
McCue arc Polk's represent
atives on the PIC.
Larry Brown, the IPDC staff
member heading up the pro
gram, said his staff is looking at
the demand for services in Polk
County and hoping to find a
niche for a new, youth-operated
enterprise.
He said a company specializ
ing in winterization of homes is
one possibility being consid
ered.
As part of the youth corps
project, youngsters between the
ages of 16 and 21 are paid on an
hourly basis both while they
work to get their General Equi
valency Degree (GED), busi
ness courses and job skill train
ing, and while they work on a
project. Class work equals
about 20 percent of the paid
hours, Brown said.
Brown said the Polk grant
will provide enough to pay
wages to about three to six par-
