PAGE TWO THE YANCEY RECORD ESTABLISHED JULY, 1936 el Editor :li Mrs. G. R. Hamrick Jh i pc Published Every Thursday By li ( YANCEY PUBLISHING CO. io A Partnership Entered as second-class matter November 11th, 1936, at the kl Post Office, at Burnsville, North Carolina, under the Act of Q March 3, 1879. \\ BURNSVILLE-AN IMPRESSION Mr. Webster gives as a definition of the word ‘Pioneer’, “one who prepar es the way for, or takes the lead in’’- In this sense both the town of Burnsville and; we who have come are in a measure pioneers. The writer first saw Burnsville last September under a deltige of rain and even under these moist and ' unfavorable conditions the beauty of this valley and < its surroundings made a ' favora b le impression. The * writer was then looking 1 with the eye of the artist < for one -thing, a place of j unspoiled and natural bea uty offering a variety of interest and scene for the brush and'canvas. This he found in abundance. In fact, there are few places in these United States offer ing more prerequisites for transfer and interpretation into pictures. „When the sudden oppor- ; tunity came for starting an art school and it was decid- 1 ed to take a plunge, the choice of a site was not hard to make; Burnsville won hands down- Here was a picturesque town amid a setting of great natural, beauty which man had not' ravished with too many scars of civilization and in-; dustry. The variety of the land scape with rolling farm lands, rushing streams and the superb backdrop of ttowering mountains made the ideal setting to inspire both the professional ar tist and the student and amateur. Incidentally, the attractive little town square with its quaint statue of the seafaring and the old courthouse played a large part in. de termining the site. Burns ville indeed had much to offer! Climate above all! Now, at the end of the summer of the new venture, as one takes stock of what has been done and what Farmers .... % j All Types Heating Stoves Buy Early All Feeds School Supplies JOHNSON & CO. General Supplies YOUR INTERNATIONAL HARVES TER DEALER * BURNSVILLE, N. C. r py hasn’t, the assets are many and the liabilities few. The “ human equation has come in and one can say that new . friends have been found — and this is the most valu- able of the assets. It was a new experience for bofji Burnsville and the C( artists, and for the artists 0 , ; anyway it has been a pleas- v ant experience and we hope p that the good people of r , Burnsville can reciprocate this esteem. j e Burnsville has so much to h offer and there is no reason o why-it could not become a e splendid tourist center as 0 well as art cester. For the I community there is pros- a perity in both and they can r meet the challenge with s profit if they but would. A s little money spent on the 1 attractions already here i would pay large dividends. : Many of us, if met half : I way, are interested in b e-| 1 coming at least part time ] residents and property, l owners in this delightful 1 section of the mountains. 1 A little better development 1 of recreational facilities forj' the tourist; really good, places to eat at reasonable prices, and by “good”, one; means especially, attractive ! surroundings and cleanli-; ness; good living quarters; i for those unable to live at: the hotel; and, last but not’ least- a little more atten tion to the looks of the streets and town square. Litter and weeds are not civic assets and good civic house-keeping is not expen sive. No doubt, many will say; with indignation; “Who is he to cast stones”? But the a b ove suggessions, if they be called criticisms are in-j deed well intentioned and - made by one who has come , to love Burnsville and who .hopes for many .years to . come to make this delight- 1 , ful town, at least his sum- 1 ; mer home. Burnsville has a future .'Whatfit will be is up to the ; people of Burnsville. : t Edward S. Shorter.

J DON’T USE DDT OVER CORN FED TO ANIMALS While it is advisable to do everything possible to control pests in stored grain, still no''feed or food treated with DDT should be used for any animal. Seed treated with DDT should carry the POISON label. However, State "‘College entomologists suggest that DDT can be used to advan tage, for example, in pre venting insect damage to corn used for seed. The crop should be har-j vested promptly before it becomes infested in the field. Prior to storage, the old grain should be remov- < ed from the bins and tthe ‘ walls, ceilings, and floors , sprayed with 5 percent DDT spray at the rate of 1 , gallon to each 1,000 square ] [feet. This spray is made by ! [ adding four-fifths of a 1 pound of 50 percent wet- j table DDT powder to 1 gal lon of water. If the corn is not to be cleaned, graded, and sacked within a week after harvest the pathologists suggest that 2 ounces of 5 percent DDT dust be added to eachf 100 pounds of corn as it goes into storage. If the corn is to be pro-I cessed within the week, 1, ounce of the dust may be} thoroughly mixed with the (seed. The corn should not! !be handled much 1 r •uaiiaiia«iaMaiiaiiaiiaiiaitaiiMi«iiaiia>iaMa>ia(iß>*a>ianaMai»a 5§ 1 . !

C. < THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1946 High School News NINTH GRADE CLASS AT BALD CREEK HIGH SCHOOL TAKES TRIP The Ninth Grade class at Bald Creek high school went on an all day trip to Pisgah National Forest and Game Preserve on Wednes day, Sept. 4. Forty five members of the class made, the trip. A Queen City Bus was chartered by the class j and the bus left Bald Creek at 8:30. A short stop was 'made in Asheville. From Asheville the group went through West Ashe ville, Homniy, Candler and Stony Fork to the entrance 1 of the Game Preserve. The ; long climb up the mountain to Buck Springs Lodge was a constant thrill to all the students. Although all of the children were raised in tthe mountains, very few of them had ever had the ex perience o f climbing a mountain in a forty five passenger bus. A brief pause was made at Buck Springs lodge which is is on a four hund red acre tract owned by the Vanderbilt Estate. From Buck Springs Lod ge they followed the Pisgah .Motor road to Frying Pan| [Gap camp ground for a de lightful picnic lunch that had been prepared by the i girls of the class with the j help of Mrs. Hensley, the Home Economics teacher. Leaving Frying Pan Gap j the return trip v|as made via the Pink Beds, Looking- Glass Rock and Looking Glass Falls. On Davidson River some members of the party had the good luck to see a couple of deer. Leav , ing the Forest boundary i near Brevard the party .'traveled through the Mills : River valley and via Bilt— ; more to Asheville. They ar rived at Bald Creek in time y to catch the school buses home. Two teachers, Miss Hat tie Phoenix and Z. B. Byrd, accompanied the class on the trip. Mrs. Walter Banks the mother of Louise Banks class president, also went along on the trip as a chap erone. The students of Bald 1 Creek high school have elected the following as j members of the Student ! Council: President, Earl Ray; vice president, Reece Wilson; sec.-treas., Juanell j Randolph; reporter, Mauv i elin Tomberlin; aavisor, Z. B. Byrd. !
