Temper atures were moderate this past week, with a minimum of pre cipitation. Averages for the week were 59 and 38.

But there is a common denominator — one not necessarily of personal in terest but of community interest and importance— those things which affect the community as a whole. These are the kind of headlines we have tried to select. We list them here, not necessarily in the order of importance: That is for the read er to decide. ABC ELECTION Because it was an example of democracy in action; an example of the will of the majority pre vailing in a controversial matter by democratic processes, we believe the ABC Election must be ranked as one of the top 10 news headlines of 1967. In this day of too much violence, peaceful settling of controversies without demonstration, without lasting ill feelings, is something we all can be proud of. BOND ELECTION FOR TOWN HALL AND FIRE STATION Another example of democratic self govern ment was the bond election for construction of a new Town Hall and Fire Station. We can per haps be more sure of this story's place in the top 10 than most of the others: the overwhelming 14 to 1 vote in favor and the total vote cast clearly in _djc*ted,tbelively public interest. FLOODS IN TRANSYLVANIA COUNTY This subject was unquestionably of vast in terest to the farm community; and, since the farm ers feed us all, it was of interest to us all; thus its place in the top 10 subjects. DU PONT EXPANSION Brevard and Transylvania county depend heavily upon their industry. Good employment means good incomes; good incomes mean business and good taxes to support the government and pub lic services. The expansion of the Du Pont plant is synonomous with progress for the entire county. UNION ELECTION AT OLIN MATHIESON The election for Union representatic i at the Olin Mathieson plant was an example of democ racy in industry, something peculiarly and proudly American. The Labor Relations Board called a hearing and decided an election, as to whether there would be Union representation at the Bre vard plant, was in order. The election was held and Union representation was defeated. A large number of Brevard and Transylvania citizens were concerned and cast their votes; thus the story’s wide community interest and importance. BAD CHECK RING BROKEN UP Law enforcement is of interest and concern to all of us. When the law is impartially enforced by our own and county enforcement authorities, we all have the right to be proud, for our Police and SherifPs Departments represent us. The kind of efficient law enforcement in this news story is not just gratifying; it is mandatory if our commun ity is to continue to grow and prosper. UNITED FUND DRIVE SUCCESS Hand-in-hand with civic freedoms, there is civic responsibility. This includes, high on its own list, responsibility toward our less fortunate fellow citizens. A town or county without compassion for its unfortunate would be a cold place, indeed, to live. Our United Fund Drive proved that Brevard and Transylvania county citizens have a heart. This is comforting knowledge for all of us. PROGRESS IN THE BREVARD MUSIC CENTER The Brevard Music Center is a source of pride for all of Brevard and Transylvania county; even for all the state. That it did so well last season, and confidently expects to continue enlarging and improving its important cultural functions, is a source of total community satisfaction. EDUCATIONAL LEADERS CHANGE A town and county’s schools are its investment in the future. Without good schools, progress is impossible. Brevard has good schools; it had be fore the changes in leadership and it hsui after the changes. Personal reasons for the changes are not important; it is important that the school leader ship vontinues to he progressive. This ranks the story hi/h hi any listing of important headlines in 1967.

The rules of the contest this year are carried in a page mes sage in the fourth section on page seven. There will be a special pro gram on WPNF on January 2nd when it is hoped the announce ment of the first baby can be made.

The weather was much in the news across the nation during the holidays, but only a trace of snow fell in Brevard last Friday night. Christmas Day, like Christ mas Eve, was cold throughout the daylight hours, however past Christmases have been much colder. There were many accidents in the state and nation over the long weekend, however there were only a few minor acci dents in the town and county. None were serious. The Brevard volunteer fire department answered one alarm, but there were no major damages. Brevard Man Listed Among War Casualties WASHINGTON — Hie Pen tagon Tuesday announced the deaths of four North Carolin ians in Vietnam. One of the victims was a Brevard soldier.
