Horth Ward
Divided Into
3 Precincts
Saunook Is Given
Precinct, Being Cut
Off From South ward;
County Now Has
28 Precincts
The Haywood County Board of
Elections last Saturday established
four new precincts.
The action gave the county a
total of 28 such political subdivi
sions. The unwieldy Waynesville North
Ward underwent the major surf-,
cry.
The officials made three pre
cincts out of this single unit.
They made the other hew sec
tions by forming a separate pre
cinct of Saunook and splitting the,
Pigeon precinct Into two.
The new Saunook precinct was
part of the Aliens Creek section
which, in turn, had been made into
a precinct this winter.
The new precincts formed from
the old North Ward were desig
nated as East Waynesville, West
Waynesville, and Center Waynes
ville.
The two Pigeon precincts will be
known as Pineon and Center Pi
geon.
The new area split off from Al
iens Creek has been designated as
Saunook; .. !v
The division of the old North
Ward, the largest precinct in the
county, was forecast by members
of thu board following the state
primary elections last May.
The Primary underscored the
problem: elections workers labored
42 hours, counting and tabulating
ballots cast by the record turnout
of voters.
Lines of voters moved in a solid
mass from the time the polls
opened at about 6:30 a.m. until
they closed 12 hours later.
The elections board designated
the following as polling places In
the new precincts:
West Waynesville Pressley's
Store;
Center Waynesville Haywood
County Court House;
East Waynesville East Waynes
ville School; '
Center Pigeon B 1 a y I o c k ' a
Store;
Saunook Saunook School.
The specific boundaries for each
of these precincts are described in
detail in the legal advertisements
which are running in the three is
sues of The Mountaineer, start with
