MRS. J. G. LOW, H. G. BAILEY *
- SPEAK AT LEGION MEETING
Talks by Mrs. Frances Low
and H. G. Bailey highlighted
the program of the American
Legion and Auxiliary Tuesday
bight of last week.
Mrs. Low talked of her work
with veterans as a volunteer
service worker in the yA hos
pital ot Oteen. She said VA
hospitals contained many men
who had not been outside a
hospital since World w ar 11,
and urged every Legion and
Auxiliary member to make
visits to these hospitals as of
ten as possible.
Mr. Bailey, who is county
service officer as well as Red
Cross representative, talked on
the rights .of veterans’ children
under the different GI bills
now in effect and sponsored by
the American Legion. He point
ed out that children of veter
ans in certain cases, were en
titled to four years free train
ing in state maintained col
leges.
Mrs. J. J. Nowicki, president
of the Legion Auxiliary, pret
sided at the joint session and
Mrs. George Roberts, of the
program committee, introduced
the speakers.
The Legion /and Auxiliary
adopted a Memoriam presented,
in honor of Dr. and Mrs. W. B.
Robertson by Mr. Charles L.
The Yancey Record
SUB. RATES $2.00 YJBAR.
This was the first deer killed
in that refuge area as this is
the first seasop the area has
been open since it was stocked.
Mrs. C. B. Trammel of Bur
nsville killed another above
average buck in the Mt. Mit
chell area. And Claude Peter
son and W. L. Allen 0 f Burns
ville were also among the lucky
hunters of the season.
According to Lee Boone, the
number of-deer taken in the
Mt. Mitchell area this year
will be smaller than' for the
past two years. In 1954 eighty
bucks were reported taken in
the refuge, and in 1953 eighty?
one were killed. He attributed
some of the reduction in kills
this year to loss of young deer
during the severe weather last
winter.
Many deer are lost during
long periods of snow in the
mountain areas, Boone said.
And as a result of this loss
especially 0 f young deer, dur
ing a severe winter a reduc
tion of kills will be noted the
next hunting season.
The two-weeks deer season
for the year in this county
will end Saturday night.
Mr. Boone reported four ar
rests for hunting violations
last week in the Mt. Mitchell
area. One person was arrested
for killing a buck classed as
illegal, and three were arrested
on the parkway for illegal
possession of firearms.

From the Memorian: Per
haps no group in the Town of
Burnsville, outside of the
churches, more fully apprecia
tes the unselfish interest of
Dr. and Mrs. Robertson than
the Earl Horton Post No. 122
of the American Legoion and
its Auxiliary. Dr. Robertson
was a charter member of the
Earl Horton Post and Mrs.
Robertson was a charter mem
ber of the Auxiliary. Neither
the Legion nor the Auxiliary
has possessed members more
faithful in attendance and more
deeply interested in the Legion
program. Dr. and Mrs. Robert
son at all times went on record
for the things that were good
and emphatically condemned
all movements that tended to
ward lowering the moral stand
ards of their community.
The Earl Horton Post No.
122 and its Auxiliary desire to
express gratitude for the last
ing good which was accompli
shed by Dr. and Mrs. Robert
son and to sincerely state the
great loss that is felt by the
passing of two fine people.

the Court suspended all busi-

Mr. Hutchins the esteem in
< HELP FIGHT TB
BUY CHRISTMAS SEALS
NUMBER FOURTEEN
the average farmer in Ynncey
County will place a better
grade of burley on the market
this year. He pointed out that
because of weather conditions
this year the growth was lar
ger and the quality is better.
But in many instances on farms
the greater' ’yield is due to
last year’s poor season.
Tobacco grown this year on
the same land, he said, gave
better growth because tobacco
planted last year did not get
the advantage of fertilizer
sown due to weather conditions.
Although the average crop
of tobacco is lighter this year,
the farm agent said, and many
fanners suffered from “house
burn” and wildfire tobacco
averages will be better for the
majority of farmers because,
generally speaking, burley is
much better in quality in this
county than it was last year.
Fourteen hundred ninety
fanners in Yancey County
marketed 2,255,091 pounds of
tobacco last year, with an av
erage of $.50 per lb. Tnis year,
the same number of fanners
may expect an average as good,
if not better, because of the
brighter tobacco.
