FROM THE EDITOR'S CORNER Br EDITOR JOHN ANDERSON The nones at the Tran sylvania Community hospital tell ns that birth control pills are hurting business. And they have figures to prove it In 1969, (here were 229 babies born here at the hos pital. The following year, there was a drop of three, down to 226. And during 1971, a simi lar drop. For last year the total was 223. But 1972 is off to a good start Walter Franklin Kim, zey, who weighed nine pounds and three and one fourth ounces, was born at 1:24 on the first day. We reprint . . . 80% of all sales are made after the fifth call. 48% of the salesmen call onee and give 'up. 25% call twice and quit. 12% make three calls and stop. 10% keep on calling. It is this 10% that makes 80% of the sales. Tar Seel fans can be proud of the showing that Carolina made in the Gator Bowl last Friday. The outcome of the game was in doubt until the final moments. We especially liked the game. Yon always do when your team loses by only four points and you have 10 to be gin with. We had to wait at Gate four for a little while for friends, and several people we know came by. ^l4dh’t been there five minutes when Ray Winches ter greeted us. Right behind him was Richard Jones and ' lilsi wife. Dewey Gravely and his wife also enjoyed the game thoroughly. Now we’re hoping that Carolina’s cagers will go to the National finals. It appears they’re headed that way, but the season is very young yet. Joke of the week . . . The master of ceremonies was trying to introduce a singer at a noisy teamsters’ conven tion, but he couldn’t get it quiet. Finally, one of the men, obviously in authority, shouted, “Okay you guys, shut up. Let the man work.” Everyone quieted down. Sud denly the singer came from a side entrance singing at the top of his lungs. Without warning, a fist crashed into his face and an indignant trucker said, “You heard the boss. Shut up.” And we also like . . . Coming home from a Woman’s Lib meeting, the wife saw the poor hubby pa tiently trying to sew a button on the sleeve of his shirt. With her new air of superi ority, she chided him: “You men think you’re so smart, why you’ve even got the thimble on the wrong finger.” • “I know,” he reported, “it should be on yours.” We don’t know how true this story is, but it’s a good story. The day before the recent big snow, Principal BUI Stan ley at Brevard high school, told the students goodbye over the loud speaker system by saying. “Let's all pray for snow”. The next day 17 inches cov ered the ground here in Bre vard and Transylvania coun ty. Somebody called Principal Stanley and said: “Now I know why they cut out praying in our schools!” Borrowed ... “Buy your girl a pant suit and watch her beam with de light”. ^-"frr One of life’s hardest jobs is to keep up with the easy payments. \ The only person kicked out of college these days is the coach with a losing season. —ft— A man always feels better after a few winks—especially if she winks back.

Realtec Developments Rated Top Stories Of 971 Locally (Continued from Page One) tec Corporation, and their ex tensive development plans foi Sapphire Valley. The propert; is just across the county line ir Jackson County, but the multi million dollar spending ther< cannot help but benefit Brevarc and Transylvania. The nex week, we had the story of the same Corporation’s purchase and lavish development plan! for the Connestee Falls area just six miles south of Brevard The top importance of this story, in our opinion, lies in the fact that Transylvania County and the nearby moun tain areas have been re-dis covered by a big-money recre ational - residential home de veloper. (The last project, of this size was the rebuilding of Lake Toxaway.) Realtec, barked by C'ertain-teed Prod ucts Corp.. is an organization which has the assets to de velop the natural beauties of our scenic mountain areas and the stated intention of doing it in the natural en vironment-conscious way it should be done. This will at tract large numbers of re sponsible, progressive new citizens to put our area in the forefront as the most desirable place to live in all the Southern highlands. Balsam Grove “Trailer Burial” We list this story second not out of any pride in the hap pening nor in the way the situ ation was handled. It is includ ed here purely for its news worthiness. It had the effect of putting Brevard more firmly on the national map, even though not in the way most of us would have preferred. The story, after Bill Nor ris’ first “break”, was picked up by several national news associations and was featured in Charlotte, New York, Philadelphia and many big city newspapers. It was on television newscasts. The story was followed up to the tragic death of Vernon Mc Call in June by news media in many parts of the country. New Hospital There was continuing good news for Brevard and Transyl vania County about the new Community Hospital in 1971. In March, the state Medical Care Commission allotted $865,000; in July the construction bids from the low bidders were ac cepted; and the public was in vited to the ground-breaking ceremonies in September. The new hospital was one of our top 10 stories for 1970, as was the fabulously success ful “Fund For Your Life” campaign in 1969. A new, modern hospital in a small community like Brevard, with all this says about the prog ress of the community and its desirability as a place to live is, has been, and will con tinue to be news that has the widest interest and effect on everyone in Transylvania County. New Post Office Plans were made for the new Brevard Post Office in 1970, and the plans were considered among the top 10 stories of that year. The planning was followed up in January of 1971 with contract signing by a local firm for (he construction and work was reported to be well underway in July. Now the new buildings is practically com plete. The importance of this story is, as we wrote in our 1970 top 10 stories: A new Post Office, added to the new Municipal Building complet ed in 1970 and the new hos pital a-building, proves that Transylvania is a “going” community. “Trailer Raid” The top story selected for 1970 had to do with marijuana growing in the county. This pointed up a problem that, we’pe sure, few Transylvanians knew existed. But a drug prob lem did, and does exist in the county, as proved by the April, 1971, headlines, “11 Young Men Arrested In Drug Raid.” The top importance of the earlier marijuana story, we said of tile 1970 story, was the shock value. We believe this is true of the “Trailer Raid” story last year. We still see the value of awakening everyone in the county to this kind of “unpleasant ness” whieh we’d far rather not have to report. We still believe in the value of mak ing everyone aware of the dangers and tragedy of drug abuse and helping to bring every legitimate force to bear in stamping out the illegal possession, sale, and use of dangerous drugs. , Union At Olin The pros and cons of union , representation at Olin have been debated for a long time, but the debate was ended in November when union repre sentation was voted in 1,141 to 486 votes. The importance of this story might not be so much to the general public, but it is most important to the more than 1500 employees— largely living in the county— who voted the union in at the seventh election in an eight year effort at organizing the 32-year old plant. It is im portant to all the county citizens who make their liv ing there. And the fact that Transylvania’s largest indus try is now unionized is a story that certainly rates as one of the top ten of 1971. Census Gain A January headline cited Transylvania population offi daily at 19,713, a gain of 20.4 per cent. We consider this important in the building - growing theme in Transylvania. It shows, we believe, that more people are finding this area desirable as a place to live and work. This is important, for obviously there can be no real progress if there are not enough people to make it. Governor’s Visit Our July headlines intro duced stories of North Carolina Governor Bob Scott’s visit to Whitewater Falls, Connestee ' and Sapphire Valley. This was something more than the usual . official visit—it was a V.I.P. recognition of the progress be- j ing made in this countv. Specific interest in the visit lies in a statement made bv Governor Scott to the ef fect that the state now has matching funds to complete the new, scenic Whitewater Falls Road—something that has been needed for some time. Similar interest lies in the statement by Mr. Mai colm Meyer, President and Chairman of the Board of Certain-teed Products Corpo ration, parent organization of Realtec, to the effect that the governor’s enlightened ad ministration had been a fac tor in bringing Realtec’s mul ti-million dollar investment here. Politics aside, it is im portant that, state administra tion be respected if busi nesses are to invest in an area. Eddie Albert Visit We had the headline in Oc :ober: “Hollywood Star Eddie Mbert Visits At Connestee Falls.” This was not just an >ther case of “star” worship, :or Eddie Albert is Vice Presi lent, Environmental Control, !or Realtec, Inc. He is a V.I.P. n the field of ecology; he has jecome a national spokesman ,o the public for the scientific ind research world of ecology. Te has worked long and tire essly for conservation, against »esticides, pollutants and over jopulation. He has the last say n preserving the natural >eauty and purity of the area it Connestee and Sapphire Val ey as Realtec’s environmental mss. The importance of this visit and the reason for this story’s inclusion here is obvious: It shows better than words could tell that the men de veloping the vast properties in and near Transylvania mean business when they promise to enhance the na tural beauty and purity of the countryside, not destroy it. Army Headquarters Move A December story tells of the nove of a Battalion Head uarters of the U. S. Army Re erve, from Asheville to Bre ard. In addition to the con enience for Brevard reservists md a sizeable increase in the iovernment pay roll disbursed rere, this shows an increasing ■ecognition of Brevard as a •enter of activity in Western S’orth Carolina. We consider this story im portant for this reason. In creased recognition by gov ernment agencies can mean added government offices and activities which will build the economy and bring more self-supporting new people.
