Farm Safety Week Noted
The week of July 25- 31 has
been designated Farm Safety
Week by President Nixon. With
the motto this year, PROTECT
YOURSELF - WORK SAFELY,
Farm Safety Week is sponsored
jointly by the National Safety
Council and the U.S. Depart -
ment of Agriculture.
As the tools of Agriculture
become more sophisticated
each year safety becomes in
creasingly vital. During recent
years industry has found acci
dent prevention slashes the
insurance costs, cuts time loss,
keeps production up aside from
humane considerations.
Os the 2,400 accidental
deaths connected with Agricul
ture reported by the National
Safety Council during 1970,
an estimated 1,000 involved
tractors and 600 were the re -

tions can be made payable to
Girls Haven of North Carolina,
Inc., Burnsville; and will be
tax deductible. Also, further
information can be obtained
by writing to Girls Haven,
Burnsville.
Tremendous support from
Yancey County people is great
•ly appreciated. A future joint
project between the Burnsville
Lions, Jaycees, and Jaycettes
will have state-wide impact
for the purpose of raising fluids.
Also, the Greensboro Jaycees
are committed to Girls Haven.
Three of their members atten
ded the meeting Saturday and
stated their decision to help
promote Girls Haven on State
wide basis.
Another element of Girls
Haven's success is its relation
ship to Boys Home of North
Carolina. Numerous indivi -
duals who have helped Boys
Home are now giving the
same support for North Caro
lina's neglected and under
privileged girls. A book, To
Save A Boy, written about
Boys Home by its founder A.
D. Peacock, is on salethroifji
out the nation; and a substan
tial part of the proceeds will
go to Girls Haven.
Within two weeks to one
month Girls Haven will be in
operation; and an open house
will follow as soon as possible.
House parents, Mr. and Ms.
Ted Slagle, have been em
ployed and will move into the
Girls Have 1 home soon.
suits of tractor overturns. It is
.estimated that 9096 of the lives
lost in tractor overturns could
have been saved by protective
cabs or frames and safety belts.
Pesticides and other chemi
cals have enabled the Ameri -
can Farmer to become unequal
ed in Agricultural production.
Agricultural chemicals used
according to directions offer
very little adverse effect.
Accidents kill, in jure, cost!
Accidents don't just happen,
they axe caused....caused by
identifiable factors such as un
safe conditions, inadequate
protection, human error or
incapability and defective
equipment.

self—Work Safely.
“Dracula”
(Cont'd from page 1)
ably portrayed by Bob Moran
Resisting the fiendish Dracula
is Dr. Seward played by Steve
Sheetz, Greg France as Jona
than Harkcr, and the brilliant
Dutch scientist, Professor Abra
ham Van Helsing, well-acted
by Steve S eyfried. Os excep
tional performance is Robert
Rutland's portrayal of the luna
tic Renfield. Miss Shelley Re
ciniello ably plays the terror -
stricken victim, Lucy Seward.
Supporting roles well carried
out are Debby Kaller as Miss
Wells, the maid, and Chuck
Stanley as Butterworth.
The realistic, haunting at
mosphere is essential to the
mood of the play. Mr. Ron
Bums deserves his own curtain
call for his exceptionally well
handled special effects. Burke
Dyer is to be commended on
her costuming for the cast. The
set designed by James Parker is
a realistic replica of the Vic
torian period and adds consid
erably to the aura of the play.
Being a Boris Karloff fan
and an avid Alfred Hitchcock
moviegoer, I thoroughly en
joyed this production of the
Parkway Playhouse. If a pa
geant of alluring honors strikes
your fancy, then I recommend
your seeing "Dracula" as the
Parkway Playhouse companyof
players chillingly "shocks it
to ya!"
Next week plan to see Wil
liam Inge's comedy- drama
success, "Bus StoP" in which
Marilyn starred in the
Sim version.

Long-Awaited Water System Grant OK’d
(Cont'd horn page 1)
proved by the Farmers Home
Administration.
The status of the town' s
application for the Appala -
chian grant had been uncer
tain for some weels, delaying
the project, and even raising
doubts as to the town's finan
cial ability to proceed at this
time with the long planned
improvements.
The difficulty in obtaining
approval was that the town,
in anticipation of the heavy
expenditures has been accum
ulating savings in the bank to
cover a portion of the $336,000
which the project is estima -
ted to cost. To the Washing
ton officials these savings
suggested that the full grant
was not needed, and they ac
cordingly proposed cutting it
in half.
Mayor Anglin vigorously
defended the town's position,
and appealed to Representa -
tive Taylor, who, in turn
made a strong argument to
the Appalachian Commission
in the town's behalf. Two
months in the toils of Washing
ton bureaucratic procedure
elapsed before the favorable
outcome was confirmed.
The plans for the water
project call for constructioncf
a 2 million gallon storage
tank, rebuilt intake dams at
the head of Bolens Creek, re
built filter plant and extensive
additions to the distribution
mains, including several ad
ditional fire hydrants.
The town's engineers have
completed the project plans,
