Green On Dinner
Circuit To Describe
Land Use Planning
Sue Green's name is showing
up on a lot of civic club agendas
these days in Polk County.
Green is talking about a sub
ject some consider taboo in the
mountain counties - land use
planning. She has to do it. It's
her job.
Green was hired by the Iso
thermal Planning and Develop
ment to create a comprehensive
land use plan for Polk County.
And, no, this doesn't mean
zoning.
Green has already spoken to
the Sunny View Ruritans, the
Polk County Soil and Water
Conservation Board, the Tryon
Thermal Belt Chamber of
Commerce, and the Tryon -
Polk County Board of Realtors.
She is scheduled in the next few
weeks to talk with the Thermal
Belt Rotary Club, the Tryon
Kiwanis Club, the Pacolet Area
Conservancy, the Green Creek
Ruritans, the Pea Ridge Com
munity Club, the Commission
on Aging, the Saluda Women's
Club, the Agricultural Sendees
Commission and she's trying to
pull together a group of loggers
to speak with.
Green said her project will
address the land use issues con
fronting Polk County, includ
ing:
* the need to protect and
enhance the county's scenic
beauty;
* water supplies;

Carol Burnett
Comes To TFAC??
When searching for a vehicle
for the humorous portion of the
upcoming TFAC Special
Events production, Melrose
Madness, Debbie Goode, direc
tor, turned to her favorite com
edienne, Carol Burnett. When
Debbie was a senior at Tryon
High School, she wrote a letter
to Carol Burnett inviting her to
the graduation ceremony.
Unfortunately, Miss Burnett
had a previous engagement and
sent her regrets via a form let
ter. Later while studying drama
at Converse, Debbie took up a
collection from friends and fac
ulty so she could make a phone
call to Miss Burnett. This time
she got as far as the private sec
retary! Now it is only just that

Lions To Sponsor
Mobile Health Unit
The Lions Club of Landrum
will sponsor the S.C. Lions
Mobile Health Screening Unit
in Landrum. It will be in oper
ation at Bi-Lo Parking Lot on
Thurs., Mar. 26 from 1 to 5
p.m.; Fri., Mar. 27 from 10 a.m.
to 1 p.m., and 2 to 6 p.m.; and
Sat., Mar. 28 from 10 a.m. to 1
p.m., and 2 to 6 p.m.
Sight conservation has been a
major project for Lions Clubs
International since Helen Keller
called the Lions her "Knights of
the Blind." The over 7,000
Lions and Lionesses in S.C.
have accepted this as one of
their major projects in this state.
The unit is sponsored by funds
raised by our annual Candy Day
give-away each fall. All money
from this fund raiser and many
others is used to support the
Lions in many humanitarian
projects.
Although free health screen
ing by Lions in S.C. since 1974,
this particular unit has been in
operation since 1985. The unit
checks for Glaucoma, Visual
Acuity, and Blood Pressure.
The S.C. Commission for the
Blind and the American Heart
Assn, provides us literature for
the public.
Remember the old adage, "A
Stitch in Time," applies io
health care too. This is a free
service of your community's
Lions Club. We will be looking
for you at the Lions Mobile
Health Screening Unit on any of
the three days!
