Madison County is indeed
fortunate in having as one of
its residents an expert graphic
artist and painter. His name is
William C. Stanton, whose pen
name is "Brother Rat".
Bill Stanton is not an or
dinary artist. He has had two
I. C. S. courses, one in com
merical art and one in blue
printing, and many of his
works are considered superb.
He is a gifted sculpter and his
wood carvings are so realistic
that they cannot be
distinguished from "the real
thing". Numerous religious
statues carved by Stanton are
in several large churches in
the nation.

Historical Group To
Discuss Old Hospital
The old White Rock Hospital
and the history of medicine in
Madison County will be
discussed at an open meeting
of the Madison County
Historical Society at 2 p. m.
Saturday (Sept. 16) in the
Presbyterian Church at White
Rock in the I-aurel section of
the county.
The 30-bed hospital opened
in 1919 and had a peak staff of
four doctors and 12 nurses

Per pupil instructional
expenditures find four school
systems in Western North
Carolina ranking in the top 10
systems in the state.
High-ranking systems in the
mountains, announced in a
North Carolina Association of
Educators survey, include the
Tryon city schools, No. 3 in the
state with expenditures per
pupil of $589.73; Hen

$574.79; Jackson County
schools. No. 5, $568.28; and
Madison County schools, No.

The Buncombe County
school system, with ex
penditures of $395.50 per pupil
in the 1970-71 school year,
ranked fourth from the bottom
in the state. The statewide
average for the year was
$478.24.
This spending for in

$130 behind the Asheville city
system. The Asheville figure
is $525.84 approximately $30
less than the Madison County
total.
Dr. A. C. Dawson, NCAE
executive secretary, said in
releasing the survey that;
while it would be expected ,
that urban school systems
would show higher spending,
than rural systems, there
were several instances where
this was not the ease.-
Junk Cars
At Industrial
Site Here
Announcement was made
this week that junk cars to be
crushed soon will be located
on the Marshall Industrial Site
on the by-pass.
It was first announced that
they would be on the Kermit
Cody Used Car lot on Redmon
Road but due to the large
number of junkers on this lot,
it was necessary to change the
"crushing site" to the by-pass.
Owners of junkers who wish
them taken from their
property may contact:

the Board of Home Missions of
the Presbyterian Church
(USA) and was built through
community subscription.
The discussion will be led by
a panel of people connected
with the hospital and with the
practice of medicine in the
county.
Also on the agenda will be
the establishment of Junior
Tar Heel societies in several
county schools. The societies,
sponsored by the N. C.
Department of History and
Archives, are aimed at in
volving sixth, seventh and
eighth graders in discovering
and studying their heritage,
Miss Underwood said.
The fall meeting will mark
the beginning of the third year
of the historical society, which
is working on a history of the
county.
