HIGHWAYS
We believe the majority
of people in Yancey Coun
ty have a deep apprecia
tion for the State High
way Commission. And a
plaque in the corridor of
the County Courthouse
gives ample indication that
the citizens had at least a
modest interest in Gov.
Scott and his Road Bond
issue. Great improvements
to county roads have been
made since that election.
Many communities are
connected to the highways
via blacktop ribbons in
stead of mud. That is a
great improvement. How
ever, our greatest need is
a highway) or highways.
Burnsville is a tourist
center with summer camps,
drama and art schools,
scenic attractions, and oth
er things that encourage
tourist travel.
Our town is rapidly be
coming known as an indus
trial place, we have mines,
lumber mills, feldspar
mills, and textile mills
employing hundreds of
people. Products from
these are hauled over our
highyays.
Approximately a million
dollars of milk are hau
led from the county in less

Sickness comes to our

many cases. Our hospitals
are in Asheville, Marion,
Morganton, Winston - Sal

reached by our highways.
And often the hurried trip
is more dangerous than
the illness.
We would not expect a
four or even a three lane
highway through our cou

that kind, but we would
appreciate a two lane high
, way. We would like to

feeling the need for mud

want to get “out” so much

we are adverse to isola

To Patrons Os The Yancey Theatre-
Dear Folks:
I haye seen Hollywood throw everything into a picture from Roman Char
iots to Rocket Bombs. But when it comes down to cases, the biggest hits
are those that tell the best stories about real people. “STARS IN M Y
CROWN” is thac kind of picture. I don’t often go on record but I want to
recommend this one.
/
• It hasn’t (I).any beauty queens (2) the United States Cavalry (3) a couple
of dozen "song hits or (4). a torrid love scene .. . but it has plenty to make it ’
a good movie and genuine entertainment. It has a quiet mood although there
are moments of great suspense and scenes of action. There is also a believ
able romance. ' STARS IN MY CROWN is not spectacular except in its in
sight into a man and his character. Its setting is not a Park Avenue pent
house or a Zulu Village—it’s aU. S. town called Walesburg—very much like
the one we live in.
i,
And in all, I think this is one of the good films of this year and I want to
call it to your attention. I think you will enjoy it. In order to give everyone
! a chance to see it, I have arranged to show it for three days starting Wed-
I
j nesday, January 31 thrcugh Friday, February 2nd.
Sincerely yours,
Iliff Lum Clevenger, Manager
