Fourth Of July Observance Held At Sapphire-Whitewater By • Wallace Brewer SAPPHIRE - WHITEWATEJ —The Bearwallow Associatioi of Sapphire (“Summer Peo pie”) sponsored a Fourth 01 July picnic for the communi ty. The event was held at the Community Club house. After a bounteous picni< dinner featuring that picnic fare, grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, pictures, of Switzer land, Germany, Austria and France were shown by Mary and John Banting of Laurel Drive. The Bantings have just returned from a tour of those four countries. Mr. and Mrs. Banting and their lovely daugh ters, Mrs. Barbara Mead, were in native costume of Switzer land and Germany. The rain of the day did not dampen the spirit of the crowd and a good time was had by all in atten dance. Lieutenant Hubert Brown of tjie Transylvania County Sheriff Department was princi pal speaker at the Thursday evening meeting of the Sap phire - Whitewater Communi ty Center on “Drug Abuse.” Both the young and elderly of the overflow crowd attending participated in the question and answer period. Several guests were present from Bre vard. The Sapphire - Whitewater 4-H Folk singers sung many beautiful ballads for the civic group. They were Jean Mc Neely guitar, accompanist, Gail McNeely, Shannon Kennedy, Wanda and Harry Hartnup. Mr. and Mrs. George Blair visited Edgar Reid recently and another day Mary Jo and Don ’ Batson traveled to Fletch er to visit Edgar. Mr. Reid askefl that he be remembered to all his friends in Sapphire and bends his love to all. Tlfe W. H. Roarks of Sara sota,- Fla. are now in residence at their home on Whitewater Road. M$. and Mrs. C. A. Bellum hava arrived at their cabin for a month’s stay. And their next These Days t -« i From Front Page, Third Sec.) saintjy figure, is actually a vengeful man who cares noth ing $r the civil rights of those who ^oppose him. The worst blow to Chavez’s priije came when a secret bal lot election conducted by the Federal Mediation and Con ciliation Service at Shafter, Calif., went against him by considerably more than a two to-one margin. Chavez had al ready forced grape pickers employed by the Heggblade Martguleas Company into the Vafed Farm Workers. But the • contract did not cover Heggblade Marguleas aspara gus «pickers. A codicil to the grape contract gave Hegg. blade Marguleas workers hi other crops the right to de mand secret elections. The Chavez organizers carried on two^ weeks of electioneering in «the Shafter fields, the sympathetic Catholic Bishops Ad <Ifoc Committee stood by, and* Delores Huerta, the union’s La Pasionaria, har angued workers in their honfes. The Heggblade Mar guleas management stayed mum. The workers showed what they thought of Chavez’s meth ods by giving the union a de cisive, shellacking. After tak ing it on the chin by such a decisive margin in asparagus the union’s threats to spread the boycott to strawberries, oranges, and wines from ma chine-harvested grapes, now sound a trifle hollow. Meanwhile, an Opinion Re search Corporation poll shows that the American peo ple are flve-to-one against forcing compulsory union ism, on farm workers. The sentiment against legalizing the ‘ compulsory union shop on firms is particularly strong in the North Central states whtth Nixon must hold in 1971 to win. Fanners and farm laborers over the whole country opposed compulsory unionism by a nine-tonne margin, and thorn in the 18 29 fie bracket were slx-to one against it Because of the poll'it is doubtful that any farm union legislation will doftr neighbor. Dr. and Mrs. Greydon 6. Boyd of Delray ' Beach, Florida, have been In residence for about a week. Mabel and Homer Hebb were dessert and bridge guests of the T.

The Sapphire Community was saddened by the recent death of Mrs. Helen Blom quist, a former resident. She was survived by her daughter, Mrs. Sally Swartz of Denver, Colo., also a former resident. On behalf of the Sapphire Whitewater community resi dents we wish to thank the members of the surrounding community rescue squads for searching for the youngsters | that were lost in our commun ity.

I Mr. and Mrs. George Me- , Gettigan and granddaughter, ' Pamella, were Sunday evening , guests of the Charlie Yeomans.

Pat i and Tom Bartlett operate the “Tom Field” camping area near Lake Toxaway Falls. Ken and Laura Wilson are adding an addition to Mt. Toxa- { way Lodge Cafeteria. ■ Many recently landscaped i lawns qt the community have been damaged by torrential I rains. With the straw season early yet for cutting, several ' lawns with steep inclines have been sown. The secondary road ' system of the community has . also been damaged with deep ruts in them. i The camp sites on Sapphire | and Whitewater roads were filled during the long holiday { weekend. These camp sites have been opened to the public for a long period of years without cost The large number of cans that are accumulating at these camp sites are causing serious concern for the citizenry of the local community. We believe that if an exca vated land fill was available at these camp sites that the great er majority of the campers would be co-operative in this civic venture.
