County Agent Gets Farewell Gilt
The citizens of Haywood County showed their appreciation to Wayne Corpening when they present- 1
ed him with a new automobile Saturday noon shortly before Corpening left as county agent to be
come district supervisor of 12 counties. Jonathan Woody, who made the presentation, said that
Corpening's work had increased the value of Haywood County "several million dollars". Mrs. Corp
ening and infant son appraise the surprise gift as the county agent receives congratulations from
Mr. Woody. (Mountaineer i'hotoi.
Corpening Says
People Have Made
County Advance
In a formal farewell letter ad
dressed to the people of Haywood
county. Wayne Corpening emphas
ized that the cooperation of the
citizens he has worked with has
been resannsiblc for the great
progress of 'fw county. . ?
He fcjrtaj^ftWmaking tj}?ji?< txhwi
to resign 'as county agent here curt
become supervisor of the 12-county
western district has been the hard
est he has ever made.
The complete letter follows:
? To The People of Haywood
County;
? The hardest decision I ever had
to make was when I decided to
accept work which would take me,
for only part of the time, out of
Haywood county.
This decision was hard because
of the wonderful people here, their
fine spirit of cooperation, and the
progress they arc making. Numer
ous times 1 have heard outsiders
aks. "How can Haywood county
do so many things and make all
this progress?" Truthfully I would
say that this county is made of
some of the best people in the
world, and they are responsible
for its progress.
Haywood county has just start
ed on its road to success, and
through the Community Develop
ment Program, with all its possi
bihties, there is no limit to what
the people can and will do.
I am sure the spirit of coopera
tion which has existed here dur
ing the past few years will carry
on into the future and that by
working together Haywood county
will show the .world what can be
done when people cooperate and
work together for the improvement
of their community and county.
It has been a great privilege to
work with you. and it is my earn
est hope that the samfe type of
people will be found in my work
throughout the Western District.
Please remember that you will
always have my very best wishes
and grateful thanks.
