By Resolution County Commissioners Will Order Sheriffs Department To Report The Board of Commissioners will hold their first meeting far August on Monday, 7:30 p. m. in the Courtroom. The most interesting item on the agenda will be a reso lution ordering the Sheriff to report to the Commissioners. The Times was informed Mon day morning that County Manager Epley has again re quested a report from the Sheriff but unless an affirms tive reply to the request is received by Monday, the Com missioners will be offered a resolution making this re quest an order. County Man ager Epley received a letter from the Attorney General last week clearly stating that the Sheriff must report to the Commissioners upon their re quest. County Attorney Bill White is expected to have a resolu tion in order for the Com missioners to pass on. This resolution would permit a Re gion B study to be made of the long - range water and sewer needs of the lower end of the county including Brevard and the outlying areas.

It’s billed as the Second Annual Transylvania County Trout Festival, an outdoor celebration that will combine a half-day fish fry with per formances by mountain sink ing groups. The county conceived of the festival as a way to promote the eating of mountain trout (commercial trout production is a fast growing industry in this part of the state), and things have been getting out of hand ever since. With Sen. Sam Ervin, Jr. as the guest speaker last year, the festival was a great success. The festival is designed for maximum participation by the public (tickets are only $4 for the meal and entertainment), but special invitations have been sent to all state elected of ficials. According to festival Going To York, S.C: John W. Bailey Resigns Post As Hospital Administrator Here John W. Bailey, Administra tor of Transylvania Communi ty Hospital here for the past 21 years, has submitted his resig nation according to an an nouncement coming from Jack C. Dense, chairman of the hos pital’s Board of Trustees. Mr. Bailey has accepted a po sition as Administrator of Di vine Saviour Hospital in York, S. C., and will start his new du ties there on September 3rd. Mr. Bailey, a native of Char leston, S.

Response last year was so good, that the festival has been made an annual event. Right now, though, the coun ty is having to rush its prep arations to keep pace. The Transylvania Y.D.C., which was placed in charge of planning and running the festi val, said that several thousand trout have been ordered and more will be available if they are needed. It was expected the festi val would attract people from surrounding counties (trout seems to be the favorite fish in these parts). A lot of peo ple coming from down state will be paying at the gate, but the exact number, of course, is not known, so that means the county must be ready for almost anything. Adding to this is the fact that Brevard is a popular vacation , spot, and in the cool mountains, August is the biggest month for visitors. The festival is being held at the Brevard Music Center so space and weather will pre sent no problem. For over night accommodations, though, some people are be ing placed in nearby Asheville and Hendersonville, as well as Brevard. The whole Idea Is to provide a chance for people to come and enjoy a good trout dinner and to meet and talk with their elected representatives.
