COUNTY BUDGET
-FROM PAGE ONE
we should increase the tax rate
if it can possibly be avoided be
cause of the tremendous amount
of money that is required by the
war effort,” Mr. Allison said.
A check up reveals that the
county has stayed within the bud
get proposals of last year and that
its financial condition today is the
best in years. The county has met
all debt service requirements, has
paid all back accounts and only
owes more or less current obliga
tions. During the past year it has
purchased and retired a number
of bonds.
The bonded debt today is around
$1,500,000 and it is hoped that
other bonds can be retired in
1943.
Tax collections in 194243 have
been unusually good. Around $80
000, or about 80 per cent of the
1942 levy have been collected and
about $15,000 in back taxes, mak
ing the total collection over $95
000.
Hilarious Minstrel Show Presented
At Ecusta Before Large Audience
Most Outstanding Entertain
ment Given Under Di
rection Of Eversman
Quite possibly the largest and
certainly one of the most appre-|
dative crowds to attend any of
the series of entertainments pre
pared for Ecusta employees by
John Eversman, director of recrea
tion, was present last Thursday
evening to enjoy a minstrel. The
show, which lasted for about an
hour, was followed by a dance,
for which Rhett Talley’s all-Ecus
ta string band furnished the music.
Roland Wilber acted as inter
locutor and executed his part in
a gracious manner. The parts of
the blackface men were taken by
John Wilber, Otto Whiteside, Leon
English and Dewey (Ginny) Wood,
whose jokes excited gales of
laughter and whose singing was
excellent.
A material contribution to the
splendid program rendered was
the singing of the Ecusta quartet,
consisting of Wilber, Pete Eberle,
Odell Scott and Howard Wilkie,
who sang “Coming in on a Wing
and a Prayer.” Others who sang
were Miss Emmi Neuberger, the
Davis sisters, Odell Scott and How
ard Wilkie. Each of them was
called back for an encore, and
the singing of the whole cast show
ed careful selection for harmony
and thorough training on the part
of Mr. Eversman. The score for
the minstrel was played by Mr.
Eversman on the violin, Mrs. Mary
Glass at the piano and Clyde
Spencer, of Asheville, on the cello.
An entire stage had been con
structed for the minstrel and it
was prettily decorated with vari
colored flowers and mountain
greenery.
After the minstrel was over Mr.
Eversman was warmly commended

by several people for the well
proportioned excellence of the
show. There was at no time any
suggestion of confusion or fumb
ling, and the impression given by
the various actors was that they
had not only learned but had as
similated their parts, thus enabling
them collectively to give a highly
creditable and pleasing perform
ance. '

This year more than ever before dads are deserving of recogni
tion and remembrance. In normal times their burdens are varied
and heavy, but they never shirk or complain and devote their
thoughts and efforts largely to providing for the welfare and
comfort of their dependents. In wartime their responsibilities
are more numerous, so we say to all, remember the dads in an
impressive way this year. We have a galaxy of gifts that will
serve as a symbol of your devotion.
