NUMBER FIFTY-TWO THURSDAY, AUG. *B, IMS SUBSCRIPTION RATES |2.5e PER YEAR Th# Paper Industry Moves South T Just a few years ago a papermil in the South was considered something of a novelty. No longer is this true. Fact is, twentyone new pulumllls have been an nounced during the past several monthr, according to data compiled by the Coop erative. Extension. Service. Even more of the numerous already established mills have expansion plans under way. 1 The pulp and paper busi ness looks rosy for the fu ture and it also means more income for farmers who are now finding the growing of (trees an Important crop. Trade development orga nizations row urve the es tablishment of mills in their areas Yea's ago objections were heard loud and strong when it was suggested a mill mieht locate in a town. Science Is Wonderful Modern engineering, scien ce and manufacturing know how is wonde'ful these days. A lady said she had grown so accustomed to going to sleep listening to the whir of the window air condition er that she found it difficult to do so when the unit was not running. Instead of running to the doctor for a prescription for a sleeping pill, she took her tape recorder, turned on the window unit, and recorded the noise. Now when she can’t sleep when the unit is off, she plays the tape recording. And sleep, she says, is won derful. Farmers To Receive Ballots Farmers voting in the com ing community elections will receive an envelope contain ing a ballot and two envelop es Tlie farmer should vote for five persons listed on the ballot and lnse't the ballot into the blank envelope. The blank envelope should then be inserted in the envelope addressed to th-; county ASCS office. He should sign the cer tification on the back of the envelope and drop in the mall. Please remember that only one bal.ot can be placed in the return envelope since every voter must sign the certification. If a husband and wife are each eligible to V'te, each must return their ballot in sepa r atc envelopes. THE YANCEY RECORD Ma ; n objection was the odor. New that people have seen the color of the monev that enmes from the industry they can’t smell the odors so much. Then, too, more than three billion pine seedlings have been planted on southern land, the Southern Pulpwood Conservation A9 r oclation says. More than 268 million were planted during the 1964-65 s°a*on alone. This figure includes 25 million trees given by the industry to farmers and others inter ested in growing trees. If the proper industry continues to move south ward, Dixie could very well become the malor p'oduc ing area for the country. No longer is the South a country where farmers de pend upon row crops for in come. •*• * * Her idea opens other pos sibilities. It’s now possible to reco d the sound of sea waves hitting the rocks at the summer resort, and for 'the fellow who remembers the old home p’ace with the tin ronf over the bedroom and how the rein pelleting against it lulled him to s’een. can have a tape made to play in his city apart ment. And the wife, so accustom ed to listening to her tired husband snore away each night, and who finds she can’t go off to the land of nod when he is out of town, can likewise have a substi tute. Who need- sleeping pills? When the ballot* are receiv ed in the county ASCS office, the envelope will be checked to be sure the voter is eligible to vote. The b’ank envelope containing the ba/lot will then be removed from the .larger envelope and placed with all the other ballots. Each ballot will, therefore, lose its Identity before it is tabulated. The county ASCS committee will public y open and tabulate all ballots on September 15. At this time, none of the ballots will bear any Identification of the per son voting. It is necessary that each person voting sign the certification on the en velope in which the ballot is returned. If the certification is not signed the ballot in side will not be tabulated. Any perron signing by mark must have mark wit nessed. ■- Visitors to Wiseman’s View look out over Llnville Gorge. This may be reached from the WESTWARD HOI Pv. nnn- * « .. . By : Wili am L. Rathbum We were on our way thai morning seme three week; ago while yet dawn’s graj cloak still clung to familial hills, our destination mo < than three thousand milei away. It was at once apparent that my companion was an excellent driver. Although minus one arm, and well past seventy, Mr. Bedgood proved to be a much better driver than most. Once aware of this, my nerves soothed, and then I was able to start tak ing mental notice for future reference. It was at Cumberland Gap, Tern., Va., Ky., that we ran Into a downpour of rain, much needed at home. None of this country was at all new to yours truly, but Mr. Bedgood was almost ap palled at the Cumberlands, which finally were succeeded by the Blue Grass country, Lexington, Ky. to Louis ville. Leaving the country of fast horses and beautiful women, we swept through the eastern half of Indiana, and finally modelled at Paoli. Up at dawn and much re freshed, we sped on through Vincennes, St. and across Missouri to St. Joseph where we again motelled at the Pony Express Motel. Near. bv Is the stable from whence the first Pony Express rider departed with mail for Skn Francisco. That stable is still In "ood repair. Entering Kansas, one be gins to wonder who or what consumes the products from our Nation’s bread basket.

The fashion writers said they saw dresses and suits wliich '“wranned around the , body in orbiting soirals and cen tered in flying satellite panels.’’ ' And husbands upon get ting bills for the epace-de signed dresses and suits will go into orbit. •• • • A few years ago we had $1 ner-yea-- men in govern ment positions. We could use some right now as sold iers in the war on poverty. Blue Ridge Parkway and is a true f pot of beauty when the leaves take on their bright colors in the fall. cause for hundreds of miles ripening fields of wheat run on and on Into infinity. Somehow, the richness of the Sunflower State al most abruptly, and we are going though a comer of Colorado, a comer of Nebras ka, where we see cowboys chou.' ing cattle down the hills, the riders befng reminiscent of almoct forgotten stories we have read. Now, somewhere in the dis tance, Wyoming emerges, and we are on the Great Plains, headed for Cheyenne, our ears are popping because of the altitude. And now we leam that the Frontier Days Celebration is going on at Cheyenne. There, we write posta' card", gas up and head for Hell’s Half Acre. This can only be described by Dante in his Dante’s Inferno. More card writing, hurry on. Once taking leave of Wyo ming's area of desolation, one is at once rewarded by the almost unnoticeable lift as we wonder again: We ask ourselves why the irrigation, because of this great torrent there seems no scarcity of water. I am still not su~e that Mr. Bedgood believed that the great white masses in the looming Tetons were snow capped peaks. And then we came to Du- Bois, Wyoming, the east en trance to Yellowstone Park, s ept. From thence, I shall elaborate next week. Be with me then, and perhaps I may reveal more of the “Face of America.’ Ye olde Globe Trotter Who's Knocking? The Brazilian government is mw going into the finan cing of automobiles for citi zens. If this gets to be a common practice every where, then one will never know whether the man knocking on the front door has come to collect past due income taxes or to reposs ess the family car. •• • • NOTICE Helton Carm'chael, U. 8.

THURSDAY, AUG. 26, 1965 A Farewell To Summer (And a “so long” to all you good Yancey County folks. I have very much enjoyed my summer up here, seeing many of you again for the first time in a long time, and making my occasional con tribution to the YANCEY RECORD.) Summer i s slipping by us; there are .so many signs around You can tell it with all sen ses of feeling, sight and sound And If you’ll but quietly lis ten, y~u can surely hear her pass As she hoists he- fluffy pet ticoats and tips through withering grass. I shall very, very much miss her; you see I love her so I barely retain an open sob, to think so soon she has to go Such a gay and lovelv com panion, always calling me outdoors Playfully ducking me in the surf and chasing me on the shores. Picnicking with her in the open, forgetting inhibi tions and fears Hastily retreating to shelter, when she turns to her whim of tears Just as quickly forgiving and forgetting to join her once again When she smries at me thro ueh sunshjne, after a brief respite of rain. All creature* seem to love her an follow closely in her wake And sadde- still when she mu t vo, these little friends she’ll take Lory little lteard, blinking and basking by my kitch en door. Warty little toad by the cin derblcck, I’ll see you there no more. In the hush of evening twi light, shadows fall deep and long Forming a “blue-green’’ sci ence to usher the day more hurriedly along And in those verv last sun rays, birds fly h'gher day by day Mustering a silent sentry of wing to ercort our sum mer away. Bravely I surrender her as she moves along to other parts To lend them her cheery presence, to wanm. and gladden their hearts And while I stand erect and still, I think she must sen se my inward grief For in a farewell gesture at my feet, she drops a shiny, golden leaf. Gladys McMahan Sandlin Rt 2, Travelers Rest, S. C. CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank our many friends for their kindness in our bereavement. May this express our gratitude to all. Vhe Riddle Family
