iiTop Stories Of ’71 Locally
By - Cal Carpenter
Feature Editor
(Editor’s note: With the
ending of 1OT1, the TIMES
staff again attempts to select
, the top l(i news stories of the
past year. We are aware we
cannot do this to everyone’s
satisfaction because people
differ widely in what they
consider important stories.
Nevertheless we try again
this year as we have in the
years past.
The effort has been to And
the common denominator
wherever possible; that is, to
select on the bases of the
broadest interest and effect
on the country as a whole
rather than individual likes
or dislikes in the news. We
pass no judgment on these
stories by their position in
our selection; we only say
that in our opinion and for
the reasons briefly given in
this article, they were the top
stories of last year.
We note with pride that
this year’s selections are over
half about county progress—
development, building, and
recognition by important peo
ple. This has not always been
the case in our selections
and it points up the fact that
lari year was a growing one
for Brevard and Transylvania
County. Looking back over
previous selections, we are
struck by the tremendous
growth and progress reflect
ed in the stories, which were
honestly chosen on the bases
of wide public interest and
effect as we noted before,
without any preconceived
idea of the strong progress
theme that has emerged.
We. again would like to note
that the top ten stories are
not all single stories. Most of
them, in fact, are continuing
stories — developments of
which appeared in several
papers over periods of time.
For that reason, we list them
by subject rather than ac
tual headlines as we have for
the last several years. Also,
as In the past, a brief expla
nation as to why the stories
were selected Is included.)
