Transylvania’s Population
Will Exceed 18,000 By ’80
Transylvania’s population will
exceed 18,000 by 1980, if the
present trend continues, accord
ing to survey that has just
been completed under the di
rection of the State Depart
ment of Conservation and De
velopment at Raleigh.
The predicted figure for
1980 for Transylvania is 18,
095.
By 1970 it should be 17,278,
the survey reveals.
The 1960 census was 16,372.
North Carolina’s population
will exceed five and one-half
million by 1980 if present trends
continue.
Approximately two - thirds of
the predicted gain of 991,764
by 1980 in population over the
official census of 4,556,155 in
1960 will occur in four coun
ties — Mecklenburg, Guilford,
Forsyth and Wake.

$1,000 Needed
Final Push Being Made
For Community Center
As the people in Brevard
and Transylvania county count
their blessings during «this
Thanksgiving season, they can
be appreciative of a fine com
munity center here, Dr. Julius
Sader, the president, states.
And it is a community cen
ter that is almost paid for.
In fact, the budget at the
beginning of the drive nearly
a year ago was $20,000.
“If we can raise another
thousand dollars, the center
will be paid for,” Dr. Sader
commented.
Many people have given.
Others have expressed a de
sire to do so.
Contributions may be sent
to Ralph J. Duckworth, the
treasurer, at the First Vnloei
National Bank, or to Rev. Ben
Ormand, the campaign direc
tor.
The president says that
Brevard is fortunate in having
a center that is so nearly paid
for. Another Western North
Carolina town just recently
passed a $25,000 bond issue
for the building of a center.
“Fortunately, ours will not
have to be paid for with tax
es,” the president declared.
The Community Center is
the former Methodist church
building On Gaston street.
During recent months it has
undergone extensive remodel
ing, and in addition to the
teenage departments of the
Community Center, it contains
a studio for the Brevard Art
League and an auditorium to
be used for musical and dra
I matte productions.
1980 are predicted for 52 of the
State’s 100 counties, with losses
indicated for the remaining 48.
Most of the increase of almost
a million persons by 1980 is in
dicated in the urban Piedmont
counties. Heavy population loss
es are predicted for some rural
eastern and mountain counties,
with Warren County suffering a
37 per cent loss. Madison, Yan
cey and Hyde are also predicted
to sustain heavy losses in popu
lation bv 1980 as compared with
that of 1960.
These figures and predictions
are taken from a major study
recently completed by demo
graphers Josef (cq) Perry,
formerly with the Division of
Community Planning of the
State Department of Conserva
tion and Development, and Dr.
C. Horace Hamilton, a member
of the faculty of North Carolina
State, the University of North
Carolina at Raleigh.
Known as “1980 Population
Projects for North Carolina
Counties”, the study contains a
detailed projection for each
county by age, race and sex for
1970 and 1980 as well as the offi
cial 1960 census.
