Hospital
Visiting limited
According to a statement by
Mrs. Anglin, Adminis'rator of
Yancey Hospital, patients in
great number have not been ad
mitted to the hospital suffering
from the flu Hong Kong var
iety or otherwise. However,
several members of the staff
have been stricken by a flu like
illness and have been admitted
to the hospital.
The hospital has temporarily
limited viskmg not so much
due to the fact that the
patients may pass on the bug
to the visitors, as the fact
that the visitors may bring the
bug to the patients. Therefore,

We understand that this ap
plies also to the Spruce Pine

Humber Seventeen
Nicky Ronald Bailey, 23, of
RFD 3, Burnsville, was killed
early Friday on U. S. 19 near
Burnsville when he lost control
of his car and plunged down a
40-foot embankment.
S.ate Highway Patrolman C.
W. Warren said Bailey was alone
in the car when the accident
occur-ed about 3:40 a. m. about
10 miles west of Burnsville.
The car was apparently trav
eling at a high ra‘e of speed
before it left the road, Warren
said.
He was a 1963 graduate of
Cane River High School.
Surviving are the parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Dewey Bailey of Bur
nsville RFD 3; three sisters,
Mrs. Samuel Wilson of King
sport, Tenn., Mrs. Coy King of
Asheville and Mrs. John Bar
rington of Warrenton, W. Va.;
three brothers. Handy, Sidney,
and Bill G. Bailey, all of Burns
ville.
Services were held at 3 p. m.
Sunday In the chapel of Holcom
be Brothers Funeral Home.
The Rev. E. J. Hall and the
Rev. Allen McKinney officiated.
Burial was in the Bailey family
cemetery.
Pallbearers were Billy Ran
dolph, David McCurry, Dsaay
and James Robinson, Ed Fen
der, Frank and Kenneth Phillips,
Leslie Williams, Eddie Brad
ford and Ernest Buckner.
This death marks the fifth
traffic fatality In Yancey Coun
ty during 1968.
Much work and effort has
gone into the Day Care Center
for Retarded children. Some may
think it is not worth while for
the few children involved, but
before passing judgment ask
some of the volunteer workers,
the parents and others closely
involved in the program.
, The gratitude of the public
should go to the many volun
teers, the sponsors, and the
Vista workers involved in the
program. Thanks, too, to Mr.
David Powers, who has ' built
much of the equipment used at
the Center. And while we are
on the subject of "Thanks”,
how many of you know that the
Center is held in the basement
of the Catholic Church, who ac
tually made the program possi
ble by contributing the space,
as well as heat and lighting.
More volunteers are needed.
In making your New Year*
Resdu ions don’t forget to put
the Day Care Center on your
list of good works for the com
ing year. Call Mrs. P. C. Col
.etta, head of volunteers, and
tell her you are willing to give
a morning a week, or even ev
ery two weeks or once a month,
to this fine project.
