PAGE TWO THE YANCEY RECORD ESTABLISHED JULY, 1936 Editor Mrs. C. R. Hamrick t ■ . .. Published Every Thursday By YANCEY PUBLISHING CO. A Partnership Entered a* second-class matter November 11th, 1936. at the Post Office, at Burnsville, North Carolina, under the Act of March 3, 1879. Tips to the Old Home Town (Ed. Note: We asked Bill Wray who has lived in Flor ida for the past three years and who is now T back on his first visit in that time, to! write a little piece for., us.! about “What’s New in Bur-1 nsville”, “Tips for the Old Hometown”, o r anything. along these lines he’d like ‘ to say. The following gives Bill’s ideas on the subject >: “First of all, it’s grand to; be back. We didn’t realize* how eager we were for a glimpse of the mountains, the good mountain air and the wonderful summer cli mate until we actually, got* back. And Burnsville still remains one of the most at- ! tractive small towns we know. “But it could be more at tractive and that’s one of the topics I’ll get around to later. “First of all, I was much l impressed with the actual growth in new buildings, 1 beautiful new homes in all parts of Burnsville, and new businesses that have been started since we left.' Among these new business establishments, I was inter- 1 ested in the hosiery manu facturing plant—something that I’ve hoped for fifteen would be started here.! I hope that it will expand beyond its present limits and become the great busi ness asset which I believe possible. “There are other business' operations also, especially several small ones operated, g- 1 ■ MORE THAN HALF YOUR LIFE IS SPENT IN YOUR HOME -—ENJOY IT MORE! __ HO YOU TAKE PRIDE I N TII E APPEARANCE, COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE OF YOUR HOME? OR DO YOU ENDURE CONDITIONS THAT MAY RE IMPROVED SIMPLY AND AT LOW COST? RE MEMBER, YOU SPEND MORE THAN HALF YOUR TIME IN YOUR HOME. YOU CAN ENJOY IT MORE BY MODERNIZING. DON’T GET TOO DISCOURAGED BECAUSE IT IS SO HARD TO GET MATERIALS, AND BECAUSE SO MANY SHORTAGES STILL EX IST. WE KNOW THAT THE UNCERTAINTY IS DISCOURAGING TO BUILDERS, AND THAT YOU MAY FEEL A HESITANCY IN CONTINUING TO CALL. BUT WE WISH TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH YOU AND TO ASSIST YOU IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE. fH 1 1 t “A FIRM IS KNOWN BY THE CUSTOMERS IT KEE PS” B. B. Penland & Son Lumber Co. LUMBER-PAINTS-BUILDING MATERIALS BURNSVILLE, N. C. i I ■ Hill * /,. ' ■ j \ I by individuals. So many of the -firms that were here three years' ago have ex panded, too. and I feel that this expansion will continue “It is especially gratify lirig to see many new homes, ! and these homes are so at ' tractive. Even the less ex- I pensive kind reflect an in terest in making these“newj homes attractive as well as. convenient. ' “In addition - to these 1 material changes I have i been highly pleased to see a greater spirit of coopera -1 tion among the citizens of .the town, and to see .that: ‘the younger business men ' are taking a part in the ac tivities of the town. The re- I gently reorganized Men’s Club has been responsible' for a number of worth while projects, and these j have been carried through 'because the members have cooperated. I “There are still a number of things I’d like to see done however. First of all, is the 'appearance of the town! i Since the Square is the cen ter of interest it should be I kept clean and attractive ' at all times. A power mow ' er would make this possible without too much outlay. ! “Then there should cer ' tainly be some time and thought given to the re creational needs of both cit izens of the county and the ! visitors who are just begin ning to find out what an ideal spot this is for a va-; cation. ' DECORATION There will, be a Decora tion at the Wilson family cemetery at Concord, N. C. on next Sunday, August 25 at 3 o’clock. All those who have rela tives there are asked to come on Saturday after noon before and help to clean the grounds. “Another thing which Ij think would be fine is a! closer cooperation and grea- 1 ter interest between the town and county. After all, what helps the county helps the town and vice versa. “Let me give a few ex amples of this. One of the most interesting develop- j ments in our county is that, at Cat Tail Creek where ap proximately 45 families have summer homes. The group has recently incor porated and plan' several community, d e velopments. Anything that the county or town can do to help this ] community will prove of | mutual benefit to,all. “Several other things' that might be mentioned, are' tlje small air field at! Celo \vhich, though inade-j quate, is a beginning and! could grow into facilities 1 for regular air service; the community hospital build ing now under construction at Celo Community, and the Cooperative Market which serves this section though located at Spruce Pine. “The last thing I’d like to mention is this: Don’t rely on the old saying about the World beating a path to your door! If you could vis it us in Florida and see how the people there work for the things they wish to bring into their towns ; you’d all get a few pointers j j “Plan now and work foi; new industries, better con ditions, better facilities, a better'market for what you raise and to.develop all the possibilities here. .It’s a j good town and county but jit has to be sold to folks outside”. THE YANCEY RECORD HOW ABOUT IT? For the past several years—while I lived in Bur nsville—with the help do nated by other citizens, I kept the Burnsville ceme-i tery in fairly good condi tion. I had occasion to visit the town a few days ago and paid a visit to the cemetery. If you do not be jlieve what I say when I tell j you that this hallowed spot ,is in a deplorable condition, 1 jwill you kindly take a walk up that way and have a look? . j When I left Burnsville I ; turned the cemetery job lover to G. L. Hensley who ! tells me that he is getting ;but little co-operation. I ami writing this with the hope that it will inspire those interested that they may • Q 8 NOW, MORI THAN EVER BEFORE i THE ARMY HAS A ‘ : GOOD JOB FOR YOU!
