Directors Of Chamber Of
Commerce Hear Reports
i
The directors of the Brevard
Chamber of Commerce were
encouraged to continue their
efforts to keep this area clean
and beautiful at them regular
monthly meeting in the library
Tuesday night.
Charles Himes, chairman of
the recent “clean-up” promo
tion sponsored by the Chamber
of Commerce here, reported
that the campaign had been a
big success, and that only a
very few organizations did not
carry out their assigned tasks
during “Earth Day”.
“But we can’t stop now, and
I urge every director and
member to do what he can to
keep this clean-up campaign a
continuous project,” Mr. Himes
stated.
“I’m sure that if we each do
our part to pick up trash and
debris along our roads that
those guilty of littering will
soon get the idea and stop clut
tering up the area,” he urged.
It was noted that several new
places of business have recent
ly opened in the downtown
area, and it was recommended
that letters of welcome be sent
to these firms.
Walter Cantrell, chairman of
the rural development commit
tee, reported on recent develop
ments in the rural sections of
the county.
Vernon Fullbright, chairman
of the membership committee
urged the directors to contact
new prospective Chamber mem
bers and to see that their own
annual dues were paid as
quickly as possible.
Charles Russell, chairman of
the advertising committee, re
ported that the Chamber would
one again promote the Brevard
area through an ad in The State
magazine. He also stated that
the newly printed accommoda
tions lists were now available at
the Chamber office.
Hale “Guis” Siniard, vice
president of the chamber who
presided at Tuesday’s meeting,
stated his disappointment at
the apparent apathy of Brevard
voters.
“Less than 50% of the regis-,
tered voters turned out to cast
their votes in last week’s elec
tion here,” he stated, “and I
frankly think that this is a dis
grace.” *>
“I call upon each of you as
individuals to remember this
poor turnout of voters when the
next election comes, and do
what you can to get all register
ed voters to exercise their
privilege to help choose our
public officials,” he concluded.

000.00 dollars, of this amount
S80,000.00 dollars had to he
budgeted out of county funds.
Henderson County, another
neighbor, had an excellent
ninety per cent collection
average, nevertheless their
ambulance operation was
$20,000.00 dollars in the red
for the same year of 1970.
In Transylvania County,
the Frank Moody Ambulance
Service made approximately
350 ambulance calls in 1970.
Total collections for this vital ,
service were $4,545.00 dollars,
a meager 60 per cent of our
total billings. We estimate
our financial loss for the year
of 1970 to be approximately
$18,000.00 dollars. We sub
mit to you that a small busi
ness, such as ours, cannot
continue to endure such fi
nancial burdens as have been
placed upon us.
If we are to continue Am
bulance Service at a reason
able cost to the citizens of
Transylvania County, it has
become necessary that we pe
tition you, tjhe commissioners
for the county, to subsidize
our service. We request that
you grant to us immediately
the sum of $15,000.00 dollars.
This will be used to purchase
new equipment and replace
old equipment vital to the
proper Operation of an Ambu
lance Service as specified by
the State of North Carolina.
We further request $2,000.00
dollars per month for one
year to subsidize our collec
tions.
If the above funds are not
granted, we find it necessary
to cease all ambulance serv
ice operations as of 12:00
o’clock midnight June 15,
1971. We feel that without
this subsidy of needed opera
ting funds our continued op
eration of ambulance service
would be an injustice to the
people of this county.

MARCH OF EVENTS
CONGRESSIONAL RECORD
NOT ALWAYS RELIABLE y
SOME SENATE SPEECHES
PRINTED BUT NOT MADE
By HENRY CATHCABT
_Central Prsm Washington Corre*pondent
WASHINGTON—On ft recent day the _ , 9UUUmm
showed Sen. Birch Bayh, D-Ind., rising to introduce « bill
on consumer protection:
•Ife. President,” he cried, -this bin win allow consumers to
band together and file court suits against ‘fraudulent and de
copuve- practices in the market place." *
Indeed, or this given day Bayh Is shows
to have delivered a total of eight speeches or
the Senate floor.
But, Ur. Consumer, yon cannot necessarily
believe what you read In the Congressional
Record. In fact, some days you will find mors
honesty on a cereal box top.
Birch Bayh, late returning tram a skiing
trip In Colorado, delivered not one of those
speeches. He got to the Senate floor only mo
menta before adjournment and handed the
presiding officer a packet, containing the
speeches, all prepared by members of his staff,
that he wanted placed on the proceedings
Eight speeches of that day.
to one dayt True to congressional form, tike nprnrhrit
were placed in the record, Just as if Bayh had
delivered them In person.
But the hypocrisy of Bayh’s performance does not end here.'
In one of his speeches he deplored the poor voting turnout to
recent congressional elections.
Delayed by snowbanks and the unavailability of a chartered
plane to whisk the senator back to Washington, Bayh the
important vote on the SST. He expressed regrets about mining
the vote.
;. Bayh’s practice differs little from the accepted procedure in
Congress. Members even are allowed to change their actual re
marks during debates so that their statements on the floor seem
quite reasonable when reproduced in the Congressional Record.
But before Congress takes off on crusades to protect the con
sumer, it should add the factor of honesty to the recording of
its own proceedings.

• FORMER SEN. CHARLES GOODELL, the liberal Republican
who was soundly defeated In New York last year, is traveling
around the country trying to start a dump-Nixon drive.
“I think it would be a healthy thing,” Goodell said recently in
a stopover In Washington. “I’m conferring with and working
with those who may be actively organizing a primary campaign
against Nixon. I intend in these months ahead to continue laying
the groundwork for this possibility.”
Goodell, of course, does not rule himself out as a possible
opponent for the President. |
If the former senator’s performance In his last campaign to
any indication, Nixon has little to worry about
should Goodell be his primary, opponent. Ex-senator $j|
