life FROM THE EDITOR'S CORNER fefe'\.fe’ ' "■ ■. fe. • . "V- .. ■ ± ** * EDITOR JOHN ANDERSON X The circus In Brevard last week attracted several thou sand people. In fact, the crowds were so large that in stead of two shows being given at 4:00 and 8:00, there were fonr at 4:00, 0:00, 8:00 and 9:30. The best story we’ve heard on the circus coming to tojam wag on Freddie Davidson; rather it’s reported to be on Freddie Davidson. We haven’t confirmed it with him yet. It seems that Freddie has been wanting some special fertilizer for his azaleas. So with wheelbarrow in hand, he went to the circus. There he followed the ele phants around. Neat year we expect Fred die to have azaleas bigger than elephant’s ears. We read in the paper Tues day that A. J. Watts is heading up the Carolina Power and Light Company’s generating plant at Skyland. The item was entitled “Watts In A Name”. That reminded us that Lloyd Cash is here to open the new Northwestern Bank. We should entitle it: “Cash At The Bank”. We learn from Dorothy Sara, the country’s leading graph ologists, that a person’s hand writing reveals his person ality. We agree. Miss Sara stresses that no single sign in handwriting is absolute and that comparison must be made with hundreds of other signs before a true analysis emerges. Generally, she said, if your handwriting slants uphill, you’re an optimist; if down hill, you’re a pessimist; if straight across, you have good control over your moods; to the right indicates extrover sion; slanting backward to ward the left symbolises intro version, a pulling back into yourself; and if the writing goes in every-which direction, you’re confused. An interesting chapter on graphology with samples—in cluding those of John Han cock, Edgar Allan Poe,, and other famous people—is in cluded in The Complete lllus trat d Book of the Psychic Sciences by Walter B. and Litzki. R. Gibson. This should be a good weekend to view the color along our mountain slopes and from atop the Blue Ridge Parkway.

V To Seek Other Financing OHn-County Program Of Pollution Abatement Out Government officials here were keenly disappointed in the State Supreme Court inl ine last week which ruled un constitutional a North Caro lina law which would have helped industries to finance their pollution abatement programs. Olin Corporation’s {dans for the $7,000,000 water and air projects underway at Pisgah Forest are unchanged. However, Olin will turn to other meth ods of financing the projects announced last April, rather than through bonds that were expected to be issued through efforts of the Transylvania Conty Pollution Abatement and Industrial Facilities Financing Authority. Garza Baldwin, Jr., Presi dent of Olin’s Fine Paper and Film Group, said that the Su preme Court action will change the method of financ ing but not the charter of the projects. “We are disappointed, of course, not to have the ad vantage of a lower interest rate that might have occurred with tax-free bonds, but wc never theless are committed to the projects. They will be continu ed to conclusion.” William M. Ives, Chairman of Transylvania Board of Com missioners, and Ray N. Sim mons, Chairman of the Tran sylvania Authority, both ex presed disappointment that the enabling legislation was not acceptable to the State Supreme Court. They said they are hopeful that the next General Assembly will cor rect whatever error was found in the earlier bill. Mr. Ives said in response to the court ruling: “I have been in favor of the proposed means of helping Olin and other industries with their pollution abatement obligations. “I think we need to appreci ate the fact that Olin is doing its very best to clean up its share of the environment. We are disappointed that the court ruled against the legislation, as this was one way the county could have helped ease the bur den of financing the projects.” Mr. Ives said that he fa vors doing nothing at this time to change the structure of the Transylvania Authori ty, that he prefers waiting until the next session of the General Assembly when he hopes new legislation will be enatced. “Any new legislation would be put to a court test also, which would probably make it too late to help with Olin’s lo cal projects,” Mr. Ives said. “The concept is good, how ever, and it would be of bene fit to other projects wheth er at Olin or elsewhere in the county. I favor leaving the local Authority as it stands until the legislation is clari fied.” Mr. Simmons made the fol lowing statement to The Tran sylvania Times after learning of the ruling by the State Su preme Court: “I regret the Court’s action very much. The bond program was a very worthwhile con cept that would have benefit ed all the people. “It would have expedited the correction of pollution problems, not just by Olin but by others as well. If we cannot have the plan as drawn in 1971, we need ac ceptable alternative. “The fact that such support is allowed in most other states serves to strengthen my position that North Caro lina needs a workable plan by which local governments can help their tax-paying in dustries accomplish their environmental objectives.” Mr. Simmons also said that he favors keeping the local Au thority intact, pending further action by the General Assemb ly. The loeal Authority and the Transylvania Board of Com missioners had approved Olin’s plans and were pre pared to move toward imple menting the program, should the court test have been fav orable. The civil suit was initiated in eastern North Carolina to test the constitutionality of the 1071 enabling legislation, which would have given industries in North Carolina the opportuni ty offered in most other states of financing pollution abate ment projects though tax-free bonds issued by local authori ties. Such bonds were expect ed to have allowed somewhat lower interest charges than oth er methods of financing. Olin’s projects were the first to be considered by the Transylvania Authority, which was the first local authority to be appointed in this part of the state after passage of the enabling legislation in 1971. The Transylvania Au thority has worked closely with the North Carolina De partment of Conservation and Development in preparation for the joint program. The Authority had approved the Olin program and the Au thority’s action had been rati fied by the Board of Commis sioners. The Authority was pre pared to seek final approval of the North Carolina Department of Conservation and Develop ment and the Local Govern ment Commission, and to issue the bonds once the court suit was settled favorably. Had the bonds been issued, it would have been Olin’s sole obligation to pay off the bonds through a cooperative District FHA Rally To Be Held Here On Saturday (Continued from page one) jectives and projects as a guide for activities related to Home making classes.
