Many Attended Meeting Of
Planning Board On Friday
The Brevard Planning Board
held a public hearing last Fri
day night, on a proposal by the
Eoard to have the Town zoning
ordinance made effective in the
area within one mile of the Town
Limits.
A large crowd attended and
many persons had questions
about the ordinance proposed.
Several persons voiced objec
tions to adoption of such an act.
Charles Himes, chairman, ex
plained to the audience that the
ordinance as proposed was an
interium ordinance to extend the
present town regulations and
zones to this area during the
period when the Board was con
sidering new regulations and
zones for the entire area, inside
as well as outside the town.
Mr. Himes stated that the new
ordinance would be drafted with
in the next six months.
It was pointed out that the
Planning Board assembled to
consider this zoning amendment
and the new ordinance included
five members from the outside
area.
They are: William H. Keith,
Frank Ferrell, Weldon English,
Dr. David Lea and Mi’s. Donald
H. Hill.
The proposed action is being
taken under the provision of the
laws of the State of North Caro

areas that inevitably grow just
outside all municipalities in the

An Editorial
Let’s Stop Polio!
Transylvania county has an opportunity sel
dom before presented to a community ... to take
another step towards completely eliminating pol
iomyelitis.
Since the introduction of the Salk vaccine
in 1955, the incidence of polio has been cut back
sharrly. But further reduction in the incidence
of this crippling disease is now within our reach.
To heln wine out Polio from our community
for (rood, the Transvlvania Medical societv and
the Brevard Javcees have organized a drive to
provide Sabin Oral Polio vaccine at the modest
charge of 25c to all residents of Transvlvnia
conntv. The Sabin vaccine rponires no injection.
It need onlv be swallowed. The vaccine will be
administered at six convenient locations begin
ning this coming Sunday afternoon.
We uree all citizens of our community to
get behind this push to help wine out polio. Let’s
show that when we are given the opportunity
to do something for ourselves, for our families,
and for our neighbors, we are not too apathetic
or uncaring to do it.
