Pink Dogwood
Blooming At
Pensacola x
R. W. Craig of Pensacola has
reported that he has a pink
dogwood in full bloom. Mr.
Craig is from Florida but has
spent the winter at his home
on Cattail Creek. Several weeks
ago he reported a rhododen
dron in bloom in his ya~d
which was several weeks ahead
of time.
Mr. Craig reported that he
had asked' several people in
different parts of the county
as to whether they had any
dogwood blooming, either, white
or pink and none has begn re
ported.
This dogwood was set out by
Mr. Craig about 8 years ago
and Is by his patio, and he said
the other morning he noticed
that It was in full bloom.

Ploy A Success
Last Friday and Saturday
evenings East Yancey High
School presented its junior-sen
ior play, Look Homeward An'
gel, for the citizens of crttf
community. The play was a de
finite success, and it seems
that everyone who saw it has
only praise for the efforts of
all involved. Mrs. Elizabeth
Wcstail, director, said the stud
ents had fulfilled all her ex
pectations and that she didn’t
know of any group, high school
or otherwise, who had worked
as hard as the cast and com
mittees in preparation for
those two big nights last week.
Both performances saw a
large and receptive audience,
and the dramatics department
expresses its thanks to every
, one for supporting this annual
activity. Some have expressed
the opinion that this version
of “Look Homeward Angel’’'
was just as impressive as the
version presented by the Park
way Playhouse two years ago.
The more than $400.00 made
from the play will be applied
toward production of next
year’s junior-senior play and
lor the payment of expenses
incurred in this year’s pre
sentation.
THE YANCEY RECORD
Dedicated To Tke Progress Os Yaacey Covaty
sire by Rev. John Powers, lu.t
church, and ether residents to
begin a youth program in Mi
caville. An active scout troop
has been going for three or
more years and a 4-H Club
has recently been organized.
A need for a good recreation
program has been felt for
some time.
A group of boys are already
practicing for a Little League
ball team under the supervis
ion of Revererid Powers.
The group, after listening to
Mr. Powers and Mr. Dilling
ham, expressed a desire to or
ganize. It was decided that
weekly meetings will be neces
sary for a while in order to* 1
get plans going without too
much delay. A partial slate of
officers was elected, including
Rev. John Powers, President:
Mrs. Kenneth Hensley, vice
president; Mrs. Ralph Tomber-
Iln, secretary; Mr. Max Hughes,
treasurer; Mrs. Charles Dellin
ger, scrap-book eftairmanr
Mrs. Ben Griffith, reporter.
There are many other offices
to fill and many, many jobs to
be done. All interested ■ resi
dents of in and around Mica
ville are strongly urged to be
present on next Wednesday ev

new building for his hosiery
manufacturing business.
The building, which is at
the first stages of construc
tion, will contain approximat
ely 25,000 feet of floor space
and will be on one floor, ac
cording to Mi*. Ellis. Construe-.
tion will be of brick and con
crete, and will be very modem
In structure and type.
At the present time the hos
iery manufacturing operation
is housed in the old Evans
Store Building, where it has
been for 19 years, when Mr.
Elis began the operation.. The
bperation now occupies three
floors, which is very inconven
ient for such an operation;
Mr. Ellis says.
There are about 100 knitting
machines now in operation,
with approximately 40 em
ployees. When the new build
ing is completed, operation
will be expanded to around 200
machines with an increase in
personnel. The machines to b?
installed in the new building"
will be of the most modern
type with more automation
Involved, according to Ml\
Ellis.
The new building with ap
proximately 40 per cent more
floor space will tend to give
better working conditions on
the inside and the site of foui*
acres will give plenty of park
ing space, which the o!d site
has not had.
According to Mr. Ellis, the
building should be completed
and new knitting machines un
der production in the new
plant within five months.
