THE YANCEY RECORD
-
SUB. RATES: SI.OO YEAR.
FAMOUS “SWISS
FAMILY ROBINSON”
WILL BE PRESENTED
HERE NEXT WEEK
Sparkling with action
and drama, Gene Towne’s
and Graham Baker’s pro
duction for RKG Radio of
Johann David Wyss’ im
mortal human story,
“Swiss Family Robinson”
will be shown next Monday
and Tuesday at the Yancey
Theatre.
f’ew stories have captur
ed the world’s imagination
as has this 130-year-old
tale of adventure and peril
on a South Sea island, a
tale that has been a best
seller for more than a cen
tury.
The adventure takes
place during the Napoleo
nic era when all Europe
was harassed by war un
certainty. Robinson, a
wealthy Swiss watchmaker
in London, sells everything
he has and sets out with
his family to begin a new
life in distant Australia. tf ‘
In the South Seas a storm
wrecks their vessel. Only
the Robinsons survive.
When the waves subside
they, build a raft, ferrjf
themselves and some live
stock, tools an<i clothing to
a near-by . island, a tropi
cal" paradise alive with gay
colored birds and strange
animals. —- —~
Their subsequent diffi
culties, and the daily ex
citement and thrills of
their picturesque lives, all
contrast vividly with the
emotional drama of the
story.
Thomas Mitchell and
Edna Best play the elder
Robinsons, with the four
boys being portrayed- by
the other fbur featured
players, Tim "Holt, Freddie
Bartholomew,-.Terry Kil
burn and little Bobby
Quillan. .
The settings of the pic
ture, especially the trophic
island sequences, are rated
as among most unique
and intriguing ever shown
on the *screen for they
| bring to life all the high
lights of the familiar tale.

CLAY COUNTY BOY IS
CLUB CHAMPION
Roe J. Deal, a member of
che Brasstown 4-H club in
Clay County, has been sel
ected as the State champ
on in 4-H club work for the
year 1939.
An examination of the
records and -accomplish
ments of leading club mem
bers by L. R. Harrill, 4-H
club leader and his associa
tes of the State College Ex
tension Service, reveals
that young Deal has done
the best all around club
work over a period of years
and therefore will b e
awarded a four-year schol
arship to State College.
F.unds for, the scholar
ship were provided by the
Chilean Nitrate of Soda
Educational Bureau throu
gh A. G. Floyd, in charge
work in North Caro
“ Roe Deal has complete
records on eight years of
excellent club work,” said
L. R. Harrill in announcing
the scholarship winner.
“He began as a club mem
ber when only ten years
old and has carried one or
more projects each year
since that time. How he
aas progressed in his ef
forts is shown by the fact
that he produced only 37
tjushelsyof corn an acre
when he started but pushed
up his yields to 104 bushels
fan acre. He has carried
projects running all „ the
\yay from personal health
to growing turnip greens
and was successful in near
ly all of them.”
DeaPhas carried a corn
project every year since
beginning l\is club work
but in addition he has se
cured a calf of his own, a
poultry flock, kept records
on broilers, has some pigs,
and has grown sweet and
Irish Potatoes, spinach, to
bacco and almost" every
other crop that-can b@ pro
duced in Clay County. He
summed up his activities in
a complete record book
bound with an inlaid wal
nut cover and showing that
in addition to project work
he had taken part in all
community activities; had
been an officer in his local,
club and had attended the'
I annual State College short 1
course for club members.
He won a trip to the
National Poultry Congress
this past year. Harrill
says the boy is every-inch
a champion.
