RAW DEAL IS GIVEN EAST FORK SECTION Writer Says Gas Tax Should Be Given Consideration _Raps CWA Board (Mrs. W. C. Gravely) In lust week’s Transylvania Times was mentioned the fact that at one time there was an outlaw in hiding on East Fork. Well, we’re mighty proud Unit we have come into notice at last. We’ve been trying for the longest to got noticed and at lr •'« our “wishes have come true.” Vos. we heard f the gent, uid folks that saw him said he • -mod to be a real nice fellow. S we’re hoping folks won’t look d< . u on us I just because there was e’—j an out-| law parked himself in our corner of the world. A few weeks ago one of our kast Fork citizens had a letter in the countv paper, lie spoke about the East Fork folks thinking they had been treated badly in regard to the CWA work in our county, lie left several things unsaid that we think should be said, so we’re taking the chance of staying out the waste basket and taking advantage of the fact that we pose as a county cor respondent for our county paper, we’ll just add our bit and state some facts in regard to our roads, etc. When the CWA work first start ed in our county we noticed that a stretch of road from Rosman. to East Fork was one of the projects that was on in our county. So far we’ve not heard of any work being done outside some bridge work ana that wasn’t a CWA project. We’ve wondered if there was too much traffic on that road for the proposed plan of widening the road. Well, if it was there’s a stretch of road that our mail carrier has to ( travel every day that should be worked. I don’t mean take an old road scraper and plow it up, but h- ne-'t -to-goodness work, and Im talking of the Walnut Hollow road How ver the folks in our section do fivl we have been discriminated against, and we don’t mind people kn< wing we do.
