Tribute T« A Pastor
Rev. Charles B. Trammel will
bring his final message nexi Sun
day evening as >pastor of the
First Baptist Church here.
Rev. Trammel and Mrs. Tram
mel, with their son and daughter,
came to Burnsville as pastor more
than fifteen years ago.
These were short years and
long years, good and bad years,
happy and sad years, years of re
joicing and tragic years; but
these years have been years of
service to the people here by
the pastor and his wife.
To the youffg people of the
phurch Rev. Trammel is the only
pastor they have ever known. For
seme years, the feeing that he is
still their pastor will remain. And
for the entire church membership,
this feeling will persist over the
weeks and the months.
Fifteen years in the life of a
man, a church, the individual
members and community cannot
be cast into oblivion upon physical
separation.
A part of the blessedness in the
creation of man is the fact that
OUR TOWN
Last week, in our column dis
cussing town water rates we men
tioned the problem of furnish
ing water to customers located
outside the town limits. We pro
mised to discuss this matter fur
ther this week.
We pointed out that the town
cannot continue to extend, indefi
nitely the fexea we are providing
with water. The 1,700 acres in
the water shed from which we
draw our supply, produce only a
limited flow. As recently as last
September the water consumpt
ion came very close to equaling
the available supply, and on a
few previous occasions warnings
have Had to be issued to use water
sparingly.
Our limited supply may have a
serious effect on the Town’s fut
ure economic development. Even
today, we could not Invite an in
dustry with appreciable need for
water to locate here, without
telling them frankly that our sup
ply is limited. All this, of course
has a bearing on the wisdom of
further extending the area in
which we furnish wlater.
Other considerations, beside the
available supply, are also involv
ed. The extent to which we furnish
water outside, is having an es-

in pain there is little memory,
sorrows fade into a gentle hue,
but the gladness in man that
goes with love and friendship
lasts as long as time. That is the
reason that our memory will be
long concerning Rev. and Mrs.
Trammel.
Sentimentally will pluck a
sweet chord over the years as
we think of Rev. Trammel. But
reality of his service here will
sound the clarion note that we
hear best.
We will remember that he |
wept when we wept; he laughed
when we laughed and rejoiced
with us in our good fortunes; he
condemned our evil ways but
blessed us in our goodness; he
told us tales of adventures and
listened to our own; he walked
with us as the human individual
which he is, but he endeavored to
guide us in a divine way; he mar
ried us, baptised our children,
burled our dead. These things he
has done with us and for us for
fifteen years. What more could be
asked of a piaster?
sect on the town’s growth inside
the town limits. During the past
three years, under our present
generous treatment, we have add
ed new customers much faster
outside the town than inside.
Burnsville is now a widely dis
persed town, with an exceptional
amount of vacant property de
voted to agriculture, or simply
lying idle. This wide dispersal
of the town results in higher
costs per town resident for water
and sewer lines, for paving street
lighting and garbage collection.
Town planners from the Regional
Planning Commission urge us to
encourage building inside the
town rather than outside. Our gen
erous waiter rates for those out
side are clearly encouraging fur
ther building outside.
Engineers have established that
the furnishing of town water for
a building lot outside the town
limits adds at least SSOO to the
value of the lot. Burnsville, in the
past, has been handing out these
SSOO bonuses right and left.
Is this whole situation fair to
the Burnsville taxpayer? We
doubt It, though admittedly an
evaluation of all cost factors Is
a difficult matter. In the mean-
Leiier To The Editor
April 24, 1964
Editor’s Note: The following is
a reply to a letter written to the
President of the North Carolina
Division of the American Cancer
Society by Paul H. Fall, Chair
man of the County Crusade.)
Dear Editor:
It Is only fair to let the people
of Yancey County know the posi
tion of the American Cancer Soc
iety and its reasons for not parti
cipating in the United Fund. For
that reason I am asking you to
share this letter with your read
ers. i
The American Cancer Society
carries on an independent Crusade
after having unsuccessfully tried
participation in federation. During
the four yehrs the North Carolina
Division participated in the United
Fund in Winston-Salem as an ex
periment, our volunteers lost inter
est, the educational program suf-}
sered, and the fund-raising effort
was a complete failure. It was dis
covered that the life-saving phase
of the American Cancer Society
w*as not at all like the leisure
time activities of the local Com
munity Cb'st and United Fund.
These latter organizations will be
with us one hundred years from
now while the American Cancer
| Society must do a job quickly
I and go out of business.
Twelve years ago cancer affect
ed one out of eight people. Today
the figures are one out of every
• four persons will be affected by
' this disease, (and if the present
; rate continue, thirty-three out of
1 time, the Town has applied for an
i interest-free Federal loan to fin

A MEMORIUM

**mmmm* |mhL
ili
In memory of Lawrence Ray H ylemon who was of the Elk
bhoal Community.
Ray attended Bald Creek School, afterwards served in the Army
of his country during World War being honorably discharged .
He then went to work as salesman f ar several different firms
lastly serviiig the Western and Southern Life Ins. Co. of Ohio. ’
Ray was a member of the Elk Shoal Methodist Church in which
services were held on the 22 of April 1963
Those officiating were the Re v . Donald' Noblette and Rev Nir
am Phillips. The Rev. E. J. Hall sang .. Sunrise Tomorrow”
tv r ■Tvul Pallbearers , members of his staff in the Marion
Distinct. Pallbearers were local bo ys who were considered close
friends.
A host of friends payed their respects in so many different
ways, because they knew him well and loved him for what he was,
"A Friend to A11”.
To them I’d like to say, Thanks.
Dear Ray,
It’s Spring again, the sky Is blue
But it seems to have lost it’s hue.
It’s not as bright as I used to see,
Since you’re no longer here W ith me.
I’ m Lonesome.
The birds come back, but their flight seems slow.
I look at them and I think;; —
You know!
He Isn’t here.
The sun’s warm rays reach out like hands,
To lift the chill and warm the lands,
But that icey hand that grips my heart
Grows colder now that we’re apart.
I miss you.
The flowers you last remarked about,
Are lifting their heads to look about.
Their blooms will forever remind me, Dear,
Os. how meaningless Spring is when you’re not here.
Life’s empty.
The hill, you said was the greenest ever,
Behind our home across the river.
Is beginning to show its shades of green
Among the sedge where clumps are seen.
How lonely.
The bees, as they wing their way to each flower.
Seem to muffle their hum as if in prayer,
For the one who enjoyed nature’s gifts so much,
That were made more beautiful by God’s own touch.
We miss you.
I sit alone and keep asking, Why?
God took you to that home on High.
Why He needed you more than I, I don’t know
But you’ve gone away, God willed it so.
I must trust Him.
But some day, Dear, in the Heavens blue,
I hope to enjoy Springtime with you,
When aU will forever be joy, no sorrow.
And no wakening to a lonely tomorrow.
I love you.

I cer, and our volunteers are work
ing against time in an effort to
save fifty per cent of the people
who are dying. This means in

'Please know the volunteers of
the American Cancer Society are
interested in the local United
Fund and its activities and wish
it much success. They also hope
that the local citizens will recog
nize the importance of the Am
erican Cancer Society in attack-
I ing a problem that kills more
I children than any other disease—
the Number 1 killer of women
between the ages of thirty and
fifty-four—the Number 2 killer of
all ages—and a serious medical
social and moral problem in our
community. It was by a demo
cratic vote of the volunteers of
North Carolina representing all
county units who decided that the
best and fastest way to fight can
cer was through an independent
April Crusade.
We appreciate the splendid co
operation of the citizens of Yan

that they cfen help us fight can
cer fastest through its annual
independent April Crusade.

SUMMER
, DIARRHEA
By: T. F. HAHN, Jr. M. D.
A most common cause of disa
bility in summer is diarrhea, dis
entery or other gastro-intestinal
upsets. These are more likely then
because of large population move
ments by tourists and vacationers,
increased food handling, crowding
j in restaurants, and increase in en
! vironmental, factors due to warm
i weather, such as flies, insects,
| increase in rodents, increase in
; stream pollution and easier conta
mination of food and dairy pro
ducts, and indreased requirements
for refrigeration because of sum
mer temperatures.
To avoid summer “epidemics”
and insure pleasant visits for our
touring friends, we should all
help by:
1. Reduce flies and insects by
, cleaning up dumps and fly breed
ing areas on our properties.
2. Bury all garbare.
3. Check and repair all refrigera
; t>on equipment, e- "dc’ly in re
staurants, motels, etc.
4. Clean up a’l trash piles, food
spoilage and barns where rats
' may be attracted.
5. Be sure all public accomoda
tions are screened, cleaned, and
plumbing equipment in good con
dition.
6. Let all tWat are required, re
new their health cards now.
7. Report all sudden intestinal
upsets to your doctor.
8. Keep kitchens clean, dish
wash4ig equipment properly sup
plied with hot water and sanitary
rinses.
9. Keep personally clean in all
food and lodging details.
10. SMILE! lt helps the cus
tomer. and you might be on Can
did Camerh!

Making Fun Os
Others Shows
Poor Home
Training
I think mlaking fun of others
shows whht kind of home training
you have. Making fun of others
is going) to fall back on you one
day. You may look a little better
and have a little more than others,
but you still don’t have a right to
make fun of them. We were all
put on this earth by the same
God, and we will be taken away
by the same God. We were barn
with nothing and we will take
nothing with us when we leave
this world.
Before you make fun of others
take a good look at yourself, and
see if you think you have a right
to do so. Do one to another as
ycu wish to be done by. Treat
others as you would like them to
treat you. I have rnlade fun of
others but as I get older I see
what I have done. If you try you
will a l ways have friends and good
ones ioo.
