This year the Mars Hill
Mars Hill Civitan
The Mars Hill Civitans have
participated in six projects
during 1973-1974. Two of the
activities were Softball games
with the Little League
Managers and a basketball
game with the Mars Hill
Lions. Both events were used
to help raise money for the
Little League Baseball
Program in Mars Hill. The
Civitans won two of three
softball games, and they beat
the Lions to even their series

Holshouser Criticized For Disbanding
State's Community Action Programs
In his eagerness to disband
community action programs
in North Carolina, Governor
Holshouser is Jeopardizing the
welfare of both youth and the
elderly, the executive director
of the Opportunity Cor
poration of Buncombe -Madison
Counties said
Thursday.
Lonnie D. Burton, who
heads the staff of the two
county community action
agency program for the poor,
reported to the board of
directors at its meeting
Thursday night on legislation
voted in the U.S. House of
Representatives Wednesday
which would create a Com
munity Action Administration
within the Department of
Health, Education and
Welfare.
Burton said the legislation
was passed "right on
schedule" and that it passed
by a far larger margin than
had been expected.
He told the board that Sen.
Jacob Javits , will soon in
troduce a measure which
would give the Community
Action program independent
status, which would insure
continuation of its flexibility
and effectiveness.

Night on Tuesday, June 21.
"We are vastly pleased with
progress," Burton said, but
added that the experience and
know-how gained by com
munity action agencies, here
and throughout the state are
being thrown into the discard
and wasted by the governor's
determination to shut down, in
his state, a program which has
every indication of continuing
in full force for at least
another thra ?eery
Burton said the governors of
every state in the nation, with
the exception of North
Carolina and California, have
given their support to the
community action agencies
and he said that, as of July 1,
North Carolina will become
the only state without a State
Economic Opportunity Office.
Burton said his most recent
concern involves the Region B
Nutrition Program for Older
Adults. The Opportunity
Corporation has 165 "slots"
but has been feeding 257
elderly persons on a rotation
basis, since all are not able to
go for their meals every day.
"We provided feeding
stations at four locations,
serving 69 at Opportunity

MADISON HIGH SCHOOL, where the first com
mencement exercises were held this week since the
county's high schools have been consolidated. The
Baccalaureate Service was held Sunday night and
Shiloh Community Center, 27
at Deaverview Housing
Project and 35 at Hillside in
Weaverville.
"We provide the tran
sportation from their homes to
the feeding stations and back,
and in Madison County we
transport the food from Mars
Hill to Marshall for 23 and
then take the containers
back."
Burton said the Opportunity
Corporation's contributions to'
the program have been on a
strictly voluntary basis and
that it had been spending
approximately $135 a week on
the program out of its own
budget
"Now we must hear," he
said, "that we must no longer
be involved since the
Governor wants no more to do
with community action
agencies. He said state
agencies are not being allowed
to contract with a CAA, with
an agent who sub-contracts to
a CAA, or even with former
CAAs which have changed
their corporate structure to
become human resource
delivery corporations."
Burton said a similar
situation exists as a result of
the recent action by Chairman
Curtis Ratcliff of the Bun-
combe County Board of
j-ftarTS
over the summer youth em
Dlovment program to the
Asheville office of the Em
ployment Security Com
misssion for administration.

Corporation as prime sponsor
for the program, Burton said,
but announced at a meeeting
ESC, Manpower and Op
portunity Corporation
representatives that it would
be given to the ESC again.
"Last year we had to lend
the ESC our staff in order for
them to handle the program,"
Burton said. "This year we
cant lend them the staff
because we have a program of
our own tat 200 youths In
Buncombe and 100 in
Madison." But Burton said he
had pledged Mel Starnes of the
state ESC office full
cooperation.
Burton said every effort is
being made to coordinate the
programs. "We already have
our building, job site ad
ministration .including ac
counting system and we had a
list of 500 job sites which we
have shared with them."
Burton said he is waiting to
begin his program in the hope
that the ESC will be ready to
start its summer youth
program by June 17.
The community action
agency administrator said it
is hard to understand,
however , why the board of
commissioners should have
seen fit to by-pass the Op
portunity Corporation when
the Labor Department has
recommended that sponsors
"look at those agencies
already performing, including
CAAs," and has encouraged
sponsors to utilize agencies
with proven expertise and to
eliminate duplication of effort
