PAGE TWO THE VANCEY RECORD ESTABLISHED JULY, 1936 Editor ....... Mrs. C. R. Hamrick Published Every Thursday By YANCEY PUBLISHING CO A Partnership Entered m second-class matter November lltb, 1936, at the Post Office, at Burnsville, North Carolina, under the Act of March 8, 1878. • 1 YOUNGSTERS FILL WAR NEEDS Not one boy nor girl in America is too young to be part of the war effort. By the things they have done, t£ey have proved that they, too, can help win the war and the men who are fighting the war. In their schools, they have carried on the work of the Junior Red Cross. There are eighteen and a half million of them enrolled in that organization—they are a large army in themselves. 'Hiey are an effective army. Their efforts have re sulted in nursery homes for children left homeless in bombed-out sections of England; in medical supplies for the children of China; in school supplies for the refug ee children of Poland and Jugoslavia; in thoustands of shoes for Russian orphans. They nave produced millions of comfort articles, games, favors and furniture for the use of soldiers in this country and overseas. By their efforts, they have comforted and helped the men of our Army and Navy and the children of other countries who have suffered all over the world. Py carrying on so large a part of the work of the Red Cross, the children of America have taken their j place cn the fighting front.

This fact should explain why you have not seen the Democratic Candidates as in outer ; election years. With gas and tires rationed it has .. been difficult, and in most instances, impossible for Candidates to visit voters of the County. Let us impress upon the voters of Yancey County that even in time of war it is important that we take time-out long enough to go to the polls and vote for good men to fill the offices of the County, State and 1 Nation. The Democratic Candidates for the offices in Yan cey County, a? well as for the State and Nation, are the - type of men who will make good officials. The voters of Yancey County can vote for Dr. W. L. BENNETT, I Candidate for the House of Representatives of the State of North Carolina, with the confidence and assur ance that he will faithfully and intelligently perform the duties o f said office. He ably served Yancey County in the last General Assembly. His record de serves your support and vote. As to the Democratic Candidates for County offi ces. the voters will find as fine a group of men run- J ning for the various offices as Yancey County produc er YATES BENNETT, Candidate for Register of [ 1 Leeds on the Democratic ticket, is an ex-service ifian ha, mg been honorably discharged from the Army for \ physical disabilities. He. is a man of excellent charac ter and of high ideals. He is honest and capable and, in our opinion, would make Yancey County a splendid Register of Deeds. „ I J. C. TURNER, Candidate for Coroner on the Dem- j ocratic ticket is a man who would fill this office faith- ; fully and in all respects fulfill the duties of same. ARTHUR PATTON, Candidate for County Survey [ or on the Democratic ticket, is a capable surveyor and would make Yancey County a competent and efficient I serveyor. . I LOYD FORTNER, Candidate for Chairman of the I Board of Commissioners, and EMMETT STAMEY and I L. Q. MILLER as members, are men who will make Yancey County an excellent Board of Commissioners. There is no better way for a doubtful voter to j I reach a decision than by a comparison of the records of the Democratic Party and of the Republican Party. I The Board of Cc unty Commissioners of Yancey County i I gladly and earnestly invite a comparison of those re cords. When the present Board of County Commission -1 ers took office they were surprised and shocked to find that the former Board of County Commissioners had I not required a bond of the Republican Sheriff and Tax Collector for the tax books then in his hands; and I that the County Accountant, who handles all of the I County’s funds had not been placed under a bond to I safeguard the funds of Yancey County. Upon investi gation and audit the former County Accountant under the Republican Board of Commissioners, paid over to Yancey County the sum of $10,013.90. As a result of the action taken by the County of Yancey, after an in- I vestigation and audit,. the former Sheriff of Yancey County paid to the Clerk of the Superior Court of Yan cey County, for the benefit of Yancey County, the sum of $7,500.00. There was a period of approximately 14 months for which no claims could be found but the Minute Book of the County Commissioners for Yancey County indi cated that payments had been made to the Sheriff of Yancey County curing that period of 14 months. It was also found that the former Board of Commissioners, a majority of which was Republican, had permitted many accounts to go several mouths past due and had like wise issued county vouchers for more than $2400.00 in I I indebtedness and those vouchers never mailed to the creditors. And the records disclosed that the former Board of County Commissioners never paid one cent on principal of the bonded indebtedness of Yancey Coun ty, and did not Create any sinking fund, as provided by the-Refunding Plan. « As against the above record the present Democrat ic Board of County Commissioners paid off more than I $4,000.00 in past due accounts left by the former I Board; paid $16,000.00 sciiool indebtedness, in fact pay ing off alf the indebtedness on the new school build -1 ings; retired $27,000.00 of the bonds of Yancey County j with $22,000.00. and now has in the sinking fund ac count $27,176.49, and to the general account $14,066.41 I and none of the accounts are overdrawn. Due to the 1 I economy of the present Democratic Board of Commis- f sioners, the tax rate for Yancey County has been ro diiced from $1.70 to $1.50 on the SIOO valuation. And f the report of the last audit of Yancey County called i. attention to the “very considerable reduction and sug- 1 gests a healthy and more efficient condition.” I You are urged to support the Democratic ticket up- I I on the above record. 1 YANCEY COUNTY DEMOCRATIC EX.
