Public Welfare Services Are
Important To Aged, Says
State Welfare Commissioner
Ho.pitalixation And Health
Benefit! Are
"Public welfare In North Caro
lina is serving an increasing num
ber of elderly persons, not only
in terms of financial assistance
but in numerous ways that in
volve no money payments," stat
ed R. Eugene Brown, Commission
er of Public Welfare. The week
of Sept 15-21, designated by Gov
ernor Sanford as the Special Week
on Aging, emphasizes services to
the aged as well as the special
needs of this age gruop.
Commissioner Brown pointed
out that public welfare services
to the aged include counseling with
elderly persons in terms of help
ing them plan to continue to live
normally in their own homes, vis
its by caseworkers to licensed
homes for the aged and family
care homes to help operators mee
the varied needs of the persons in
their care, homemaker service for
aged persons who with a little
assistance can remain in their own
homes, and counseling with rela
tives to help them resolve plans
for elderly persons in their fami
lies. "The happiness and welfare of
our older citizens is one of the pri
mary concerns of public welfare,"
added Commissioner Brown.
"Through casework services in the
100 county departments of public
welfare in North Carolina, we
seek to make workable plans which
satisfy the needs of both family
and aged relatives."
North Carolina has approximate,
ly 335,000 persons 66 years of
age and ever and this segment of
our population is rapidly increas
ing. Tljfjptal population of the
JpdoeUed from 1910 to 196ut
while the number of older people
increased fourfold during this
period. Even more striking is the
fact this age group doubled dur
ing the two decades 1940-1960.
Financial help through old age
assistance is available to needy
aged persons who meet eligibility
requirement under law. Non-f in

Tryon Rolls Over Marshall
24-0 At Tryon Friday Night
MHS Is Stunned By Tryon
rower; Defense; Several
Players Injured
Marshall's Tornadoes went down
to a humiliating 24-0 defeat last
Friday night at the hands of a
powerful band of Tryon Tigers on
the Tryon field.
Looking sharp and aggressive
in its opener here against East
Henderson a week prior, the lo
cal team was the opposite last
Friday night. From a smooth
running offense and rugged de
fense, the Tornadoes last Friday
night were disorganized and ap
peared demoralized from the open
ing kickoff. They were far from
the team which defeated East
Henderson, 19-0 in the opener of
the season.
Whether or not Marshall can
bounce back from the Tryon de
feat will be shown this Friday
night when they play a strong,
undefeated Harris High team un
der the lights at Spruce Pine. One
thing is for sure, the team can
not look more unimpressive than
it did last Friday.
Fumbles, erratic play, mental
and pbysdal mistakei,-4ir a gen
eral ease of "shakes" seemed to
plague the team. Blocking was
just not there and the back often
had to "eat" the ball before
reaching the line.
Receiving the kickoff, the lo
cals lost ground on three running
plays and on fourth down, Mar
shall's poster fumbled the snap
and Tryon took over on the Tor
nadoes' 20-yard stripe. On the
first offensive play for the Ti
gers, Ricky Gosnell scampered 20

Freeze It Right
Says Mrs. Graham
Mrs. Porter Graham from Mad
ison County has learned that in
order to 'have good frozen corn, it
pays to freeze a recommended va
riety, gather it early in the morn.
ing, and get it to the freezer
quickly.
. According to Mrs. Ruby Corpen-
mg, home economics agent, Mrs.
Graham has been trying corn dif
ferent ways. "I did not believe
the time of day had anything to
do with the flavor of corn until
I tried freezing some gathered
early and compared it with some
of the same corn gathered during
the hot part of the day," said Mrs.
Graham. "Now I know the differ
ence." MHS BOOSTERS'

The Wildcats of Mars Hill tried
hard Friday night, and moved the
ball well, but three East Yancey
home run passes cancelled it all
out, and the Panthers went home
with their second straight foot
ball victory, 21-7.
The visitors completed only 3
passes, but every one of them re

on a 65-yard play from Gordon
Banks to Harold Bennett, who fell
down on the one-yard line, and

Bennett again. Bob Anderson's
