Small But Beautiful UF Bubble of Success Still Small But Beautiful. » Yancey United Fund gifts and pledges now total $3,000. It is a figure backed by determined work and by the largest number of firms ever contributing to Yancey CouiJly’s United Fund. Maiy of the names are new and others are making re-entry. Burnsville Mill of Mohasco In dustries anole has contributed slightly over SI,OOO through gifts dustries alone has contributed This comes to about $4.00 per per son—indeed an impressive and gen erous record. Many small business es have equaled this outstanding job in proportion to number ol employees and amount given. Accel ling to Rev. Woody Finley UP publicity director, the cam paign is going very well. AH mem bers of the medical-dental profess ion and all businesses in Burns ville and the county’s teachers have been contacted. Some of the pledges and final contribution figures frem these are not yeti available. Circles of contact are! wide—including many summer! residents—gnd all pledges near) and far cannot be accounted for I at this time. '* * | i Right now UF volunteers are forking in the county in a final effort to boost the campaign fig-, | ure. Only once in the history of 1 United Fund has Yancey County reached its goal. The 1934 cam- • palgn hopes to add a second suc cess to the record. If hard work is any measure of success, the goal will surely be reached. The UP i volunteers are to be compl mented and congratulated on a fine lob and one continually sustained. As one unidentified contributor put It, “Giving the United way is a problem in ratio. A gift is to United as bubble gum is to a child; •it grows in capability as the pieces are aided and then ex pands into something big, beauti ful, full of poide.” The s'zc of the bubble depends on you. NUMBER | in downtown Asheville. “Topping-out” marks the peak of a new building. This ‘\oPPlng out” is the re-enactment of a ceremony that began three thou sand years ago when the plains people first settled the forests of northern Europe. A small fir tree, a 1- symbol of security and good luck, and later in Christian times, a symbol of eternal life, was placed atop the building for “topping-out.’ In this country our flag as well as a fir tree are as- I fixed to the highest point of the new building. , Manly E. Wright, executive vice of the Asheville Branch ? of Bank, and * Earl eJB, mayor of Asheville, rode the construction bucket con y lajning the flag and the fir tree g to the top of this 10-story building S which rises 215 feet above the base foundation. The Northwestern Bank Building is on the former site of H. Red wood & Company, the leading de partment store of Asheville in the 1890’s and early 1900’s. The budd ing, fronting 137 feet on Pack Square, and extending 73 feet on Patton Avenue and 73 feet on Col lege Street, is expected to cost approximately $4.5 million. George S.
