Transylvania county’s teen
age population has become an
economic force to be reckon
ed with — a $2,158,000 force.
As a consumer group, they
have this impressive amount of
money at their command, a mat
ter of great interest of local re
tail merchants.
Equally important, from a
business point of view', is the
influence these youngsters
wield in determining how
their parents spend money.
They help decide the kind of
car that is bought, the appli
ances that are purchased and
the type of improvements that
^re made in the home.
The size-up of the teen-age
market is based on studies and
ljports made by the Depart
lffent of Labor, the U. S. Cham
ber of Commerce, Gilbert Youth
Research, Inc., and other agen
cies.
In Transylvania County, as
in most other areas of the
United States, the teen-age
population is large and is
growing larger rapidly, it is
shown.
In 1960 there were 2,385 boys
and girls locally betw'een the
ages of 13 and 19, according to
the Census Bureau. The num
ber is expected to be about 30
percent greater by 1965.
The rate of growth in this age
category is found, in line with
the national trend, to be S’.fe
times faster than that of the
population as a whole.
But sheer numbers is only
part of the story. Teen - agers
locally have bigger allowances
than ever before. One reason
is that their parents can afford
to give them more. Another is

Brevard, North Carolina
Dear John:
Some three years ago the
Transylvania Board of Health
and the Transylvania Board
of Commissioners requested of
the County Sanitations Offi
cer that he make an exhaus
tive examination of the gar
bage disposal outside the in
corporated limits of Brevard.
This examination was made
and revealed a deplorable con
dition including contamination
of every river in the county
with dead animals and untold
tons of garbage deposited in
the creeks, rivers and road
sides in Transylvania county.
As a result of this investi
gation, a comprehensive plan
to control this situation was
formulated by the County
I The Weather \
Only one-one-hundredth of an
inch of precipitation was record
ed in Brevard during the past
week, but the season’s first frost
and below freezing temperatures
closely followed the arrival of
fall on the calendar.
Tuesday morning the mercury
fell to 31 degrees and a light
frost greeted many unwary mo
torists who left their cars wind
shield unprotected Monday night.
High reading for the week
came on Saturday afternoon
