These Fall Painting Classes Set Painting classes are to be held here for the first time this fall, starting October 11th and running through October 23rd. Everett Kivette will conduct morning and afternoon classs during those two weeks, (Mon day through Friday) as part of the continued expansion of "Painting in the Mountains". These new classes are a pilot for classes to be,held in 1972. John Bryans and Ever - ett Kivette, now using the new and larger studio facilities on the firetower road leading to Phillip’s Knob, hope "Paint ing in the Mountains"can scon begin operating all summer and into the fall each year. Until this year classes ran for THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7,1971 awards went to scouts and lead ers who completed a 50- mile back pack trip along the Appa lachian Trail this summer. Boys receiving the award were Ernie Howard, Gerald Styles, Eddie Tiomas and Jeff Bailey, Kenny Deyton, Mark Bledsoq John Blair, Randy Thomas. Adults receiving the award were Lee Thompson, Clifford Peterson and Johnny Me Lain. The boys also presented the adults with an engraved plaqin commemorating the 50 mile hike. After completion of the Court of Honor Ceremony the group was shown slides of the 50 mile hike. six weeks in July and August. This last summer's classes, averaging about 18 or 20 per - sons a week, a considerable grovrth over the past six years of operation, makes this projection feasible. The instructors of "Paint - ing in the Mountains" feel, considering the mild days of Indian Summer here, that perhaps an equally successful fall session of "Painting in the Mountains" can be built up, helping extend the tourist season in Yancey County. The fall colors, they believe, en hancing the already unusual scenic beauty of this area,can become especially attractive to visiting artists. legion And j Auxiliary Mef| The Earl Horton Post of the American Legion with its Wo man's Auxiliary, met Sep tember 29 in the Community Building with a covered dish supper.

According to Cam paign Co-chairmen Roy Ray and Ardell Sink, things are going well - thanks both to the efforts of the many volunteer workers who are helping with the drive, as well as to the generous spirit displayed by contributors. In recognition of the in creased size of the goal set this year by the county's budget committee, many contribu - tors have increased the size of their contributions. The "Century Club", made up of those giving a hundred dollars or more, has now grown to twenty four. Starting with next week's issue of the Yancey Record, a United Fund Honor Roll will be published. This will be made up of businesses and of fices where all personnel have contributed to this year's cam paign (hopefully a day's pay). Also included will be schools where all teachers have con tributed.
