(Times Staff Photo) -■ On Six Week* Tour French Students Of Brevard Have Great Time In Europe Nine Brevard French stud ents and their advisor have returned from six weeks of study and travel in Europe. Denny Bolt, Nancy Combs, Martha Misenheimer, Lynn Mitchell, Joe Patton, Debby Sentelle, Ed Sutton, Cherry Warren and Lou Whicker flew from Atlanta airport with their French teacher, Mrs. Kay Setzer, directly to Rome, Italy, on June 23rd. The friendly people, warm climate and many sightseeing interests made Rome one of the group’s favorite cities. With almost a full week in Rome, the students visited the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, St. Peter’s Cathedral (where they saw the Pope), and the catacombs where Christians lived and worship ped in the first century af ter Christ. They delighted in the Italian Survey Reveals Rising Business Tempo In Transylvania Transylvania County's econ omy continued moving for ward during the past year, according to a report on the nation’s markets, Just re leased. Significant gains were chalk ed up in the local trading area M consumers, with more money at their command, indulged in in the area, and what it meant for local retail merchants, are brought out in Sales Manage ment’s new “Survey of Buy ing Power." The copyrighted report pre sents data on income and spend ing for every section of the country. the previous yesr’s $38,600.00. Ju't how much this repre sented, on a pre - family basis, was determined bv dividing the total income by the number of local households. It amounted, on average, to $8,548, an in crease over the prior year’s $7, 878. •> The rise, 8.5 percent, was greater than elsewhere In the United States, 6.4 percent and the State of North Carolina’s 6.8 percent. What did local residents do with their bigger incomes? The figures show that they spent more for furniture, bought more air conditioners, refrigera tors and washing machines, pur chased fancier foods and, In Sneral, treated themselves >re luxuriously. Neither the surtax nor the higher cost of goods and ser vices deterred them to a no ticeable As a result, retail business in the area was good. Local merchants accounted for gross sales of $18,391,000, bettering the previous year’s $17,974,000. Each community is rated in the survey on the basis of the amount of retail business actually done, as compared with its estimated full ra pacity. It does this through an “in dex of buying power,” which takes into account income, pop ulation and sales. Transvlyania County’s in dex rating is .M73, Indicat ing that it is capable of pro ducing that percent of the nation’s retail business. Since it accounted for teas than that last year, .M55 per cent, the conclusion is that some of the local purchasing potential is yet to he achiev ed. food, although many Cokes were substituted for the in expensive wine the Italians drink with every meal. According to Nancy and Martha, “One wav to recog nize America ' dents is by all the Cok bottles.” 150 *n C'oup The Br •• ’s traveled with appro..im.Mly 150 other French students and teachers i from all over the United States, ; ard four bu~es provided trans ' imitation throughout Europe. After Rome, the group en joved three days’ rest in Alassio, a beautiful resort town on the Italian Riviera. The trip from Alassio to Montpellier, France, included a brief stop in Marseille, France, just as the group had previously stopped in Pisa, It aly, to see the famous Leaning i Tower. In Montpellier, in the south of France not far from the Mediterranean Sea, classes at all levels of French were held four hours each morn ing The afternoons were us ually free for shopping, sight seeing, swimming and getting better acquainted with the University of Montpellier and Uie French monitors, stud ents assigned to aid the Americans in speaking French.
