a month of manual labor on a
hospital construction project
in Costa Rica, with a lasting
impression of the openness
and friendliness of the Costa
Rican people.
Largely Methodists — mem
bers of the Brevard First Meth
odist Church or associate mem
bers through attendance at
Brevard College — the young
people were part of a Work
Mission to the Hospital of San
Carlos in Ciudad Quesada,
Costa Rica.
Working from June 4th
through July 2nd, the group
assisted in tearing down an
old children’s wing of the hos
pital and landscaping and
cleaning up around a recently
completed new wing.
The team, under the auspices
of the Brevard First Methodlst,
consisted of the Counselors, the
Rev. and Mrs. Duke Ison from
the Rosman United Methodist
Church; John Boggs, Teresa
Ratliff, Lisa Bingham, Tim
lohnson, Jim Ladd, and Linda
Hill from Brevard; Mark Key
from Asheville; Ann Ralls from
Greensboro; Pam Lester from
Archdale; and Marsha Mc
Creary from Lexington.
HELP, FELLOWSHIP
“The idea of Work Mis
sions, in which the members
largely bear their own ex
penses, is a comparatively
new thing In the Methodist
Church,” says Mr. Ison. “But
it is one which Dr. Tuttle, the
Brevard First Methodist pas
tor, has initiated in several
churches where he has
served.
^•The purpose is to Rive ex
perience in Christianity in other
lands to the people of the teams,
and at the same time raider a
useful service to the people
where they go. Working to
gether on worthwhile projects
develops a spirit of fellowship
within the team and with the
people they help,” Mr.

Resurfacing Money Is Available
For U. S. 64, Brevard To Rosman
The office of State Senator
Charles Taylor announces to
day that the Secretary of
Transportation and the Board
of Transportation have made
funds available for resurfacing
U. S. 64 from Brevard to Ros
man.
Senator Taylor had announc
ed some weeks ago that he
planned to bring this request
before the Transportation
Board because of the seriously
deteriorating condition of 64.
In early 1973 Senator Taylor
stated, “we concentrated ef
forts to see that the new high
way to be constructed between
Brevard and Rosman was
taken from the drawing board
where it had been lying for
many years and was brought to
reality. The highway was, in
cluded in the Governor’s seven
year highway plan and pur
chase of rights-of-way will start
at the end of this year.”
Old U. S. 64 will become a
secondary road, . and Senator
Taylor convinced the Transpor
tation Department that despite
the new road that OLD 64 need
ed re-surfacing because of its
continuing traffic load. The re
paving contract will be let dur
ing this month of July.
