N. C. THURSDAY, APRIL 5, IW2 NUMBER THIRTY-THREE SUBSCRIPTION RATE; PBB YEAR OUR TOWN Competed, intelligent opposi tion to the telephone rate in crease is being organized. D. Pat Davis, president of the McDowell Chamber of Commerce is spear heading the job of getting the seventeen towns affected by the increase to work together. Mayor Bill Shope of Weavervllle is vice chairman of the group. F. Kent Burns, an attorney with wide experience in public utility matters, atw formerly on the staff of the Attorney General of the State has been engaged to represent the group at the hear ings before the Utilities Com-1 mission scheduled to be held in* Asheville, April 24 through 27- It appears that some advantage has already been won by persua ding the Commission to hold the hearirgs in Asheville instead of Raleigh. As previously pointed out in this column, this effort will cost money, a°d of course each com munity should pay its fair share. It is too early to determine fin ally Yancey County’s share, bat it looks as though we should contribute perhaps three hundred dollars. This amount must be raised by donations. We will be glad to receive and for ward Checks may be made payable to the McDowell Chamber of Commerce- The cost of this defence effort is extremely small compared with the amount of the rate increase.

What la not i*o well known is that most I types of worms can now be J 1 treated easily and safely at * home. 1 According to recent findings by Sergeant's Dog Care Center of Richmond, Va., close to one-half of the Wlra. dog - owning population |i.'9k.£jwYr i may be un t of a *' are that , ala there are ai i « variety of worming products available for effective treatment at home, i A puppy should be treated for large roundworms as early as six weeks old, or as soon as he has been weaned. These parasites can be easily elimin ated through use of s special iwoming capsule. The capsule {is simply opened and the con ! tents then mixed with the dog’s food. t Regardless of U\e loving care he receives, a grown dog can | acquire worms, too, from the ground, from fleas, from rub bish and from other dogs. Easi ly administered, worm capsules for dogs under and over 10 pounds can also be obtained for them at drug or pet stores. — | - ■ ‘'" ■ ' > President W. H. Plemmons of Appalachian State Teachers Col lege j— by September applications for the freshman class alone will exceed the e n tire enrollment of his college. Like most educators, Dr. Plemmons finds it distasteful to deny college education to capable North Carolina youngsters 0 n grounds of lack of facilities. He advocates that the State quickly provide necessary facilities I and enlarge the community college program.

Pl.m-I nons of Appalachian State Tea- ’ ;hers College, Boone, N. C., gives his comparison; Applications for the upcoming freshman class at Appalachian are expected to exceed last fall’s entire 2800- student body enroll ment- Already 2000 applications from iiigh schoolers have come i n to the office of Registrar H. R. Eg-' gers They continue to pour i n at the fate” of 25 daily. By September, Eggers "000 to have applied for admiss ion. 11 The demand is. equally great i supported institutions of higher j learning. Efforts to solve the spiraling | problem have President Plem- < mens of ASTC and other Tar j Heel College administrators I pulling their already thinning | hair. Tlie institutions simply do r -T j have facilities even to come close J to handling the demand. **And "peak of demand won’t bo reached until 1965. The educators find it distaste- |J ( ful to turn down capable' I young men and women who want a coUege education simply on the basis of lack of facilities, espec ially during a prosperous and scientific era when educatios re quirements for success are great er than ewer. A frustrating barrier to the colleges was voters’ rejection of the State-wide bond issue last i November which by 1963 would I have provired for construction of I I critically needed dormitory and I classroom spaces. At the moment, college ad ' mission officers are wrestling j with the avalanche of applicat j ions in determining who should Ibe admitted. Complicating the st lection process is the generally ' .high quality of. applicants; j Applications indicate that high 1 school graduates are better , prepared than ever for college, j according to Dr. Braxton Har ) ris, Appalachian’s assistant re i gistrar for admissions. ,1 What about the future? | What do college administrators I recommend to prevent future ex- I tension of denial of college edu- I cation to capable North Carolina I youth ?

Yet we do know a n amazing number of patients who will not ask their doctor "how much" even though they should k“ow .... and have a-right to konw . • . the cost of medical care. And while it’s true that for rpnti home or office calls there’s not much reason for Jong discussion on cost, in cases of serious Ulness in volving surgery or attended care, you should care, you should have some idea of what your expenses wiU be. Your doctor understaDds that medical costs must be dealt with like a®y item in your budget. If he fails to volunteer an estimate It’s not becahse he doesn’t want to talk about cost - . . chances are he has simper forgotten to mention the subject So there’s Jho reason for you to be shy with your doctor. When you are faced with the need for major medical attention, do ask him about costs, a frank discussion may do a lot to ease your mind at a time when worry is the worst thing for you.
