Last week, we wrote about a
petition seeking greater disclo
sure of the finances and activi
ties Polk County's one and only
political action committee
(PAC).
Since the state won't take
notice in counties of less
than 50,000 residents, (he peti
tioners seek to have the Polk
County Board of Elections
exercise its option to formally
register the Association of
County Taxpayers (ACT) as a
political committee.
PACs are taking a beating in
Washington these days with
legislation being considered this
summer to "reform" campaign
financing laws.
We received a communication
from the Ad Hoc PAC Coali
tion recently which claims
PACs are wrongly accused.
"A basic public relations ploy
for anyone under fire is to pick

Hole-in-one!
Robert Parish shot a hole-in-
one while playing the ninth hole
at Tryon Country Club on
July 14 with his wife, Irene.
Parish used an eight-iron on the
shortened par three hole.

Parish was so skillful — or was
it just luck?

Youngs Buy Farm
Joy and Bill Young have
bought Hatsic and Phil Good
rich's farm in Campobello. The
Youngs have two quarter horses
that they use to trail road, so
they are looking forward to
exploring the horse trails in the
area.
Joy majored in fashion mer
chandising at King's Business
College in Charlotte. She stared
her career as a retail buyer for
women's clothes at Belks in
Statesville and then went on to
work at several other Belk
group stores. She also worked
tor the old James L. Tapp
department store in Columbia,
S.C. Until her marriage to Bill
in March of this year, she
worked for "Lots of Labels" a
store in Martinsville, Virginia.
Now that she's living in Cam
pobello she'll be looking for a
new job in the area.
Bill, who is a native of Man
assas, Virginia, graduated from
East Tennessee University and
he began his merchandising
career at yet another Belk store,
the Belk-Leggett store in Man
assas. Before coming to
Greenville, he worked at
Crowleys in Detroit, Michigan.
He is currently vice-president
and general merchandise man
ager for the five Greenville
Belk-Simpson stores.
The Youngs anticipate doing
a lot of gardening and trail rid
ing at their new country place
and hope to get away once a
year for a western ski trip.
