crease in standard of living.
Jones paid tribute to the
efforts of local citizens,such

which make industry feel

the favorable climate that
attracts new industry. Fol

Girl Scout Person -to -
Person Week," October 30th
to November 6th, may be
observed in many ways. Re
gardless of the manner in
which it is observed, its pri
mary goal is to stimulate
"action-awareness" of Girl
Scouting.
Girl Scouts throughout
Yancey County began their
observance of "Person - to-
Pereon Week" cm Saturday,
October 30th with a Girl Scout
Mother-Daughter luncheon
held in the Fellowship Hall
of Higgins Memorial Metho
dist Church. The theme of
the luncheon was a salute to
Girl Scout mothers and lead
ers who have, contributed to
the development and growth
of Girl Scouting in Yancey

ment with the Pisgah Gsrl

Mrs. James Anglin, Yan

of Mrs. Tania Rollman,Field

The success of the lun
