Ginny Vance And The Linville River Boys Provide Music For Rally
Over 300 People Attend Republican
Dinner And Rally; Hear Holshouser
Music and Politics, ora -
tory and cake auctions, clog -
ging and square dancing, all
of these were to be found in
abundance at the GOP din
ner and rally, held last Sa
turday night at the Cane
River High School.
Republican candidate for
governor, Jim Holshouser,
supplied most of the oratory,
a small part of the square
dancing and none of the
clogging, although he did
some mighty heavy foot
patting when the old fiddle
and banjo classic " Orange
Blossom Special" was dedi
cated to him.
Holshouser asked an en
thusiastic crowd "to examine
the records" and thensujport
him in the May primary and
the general election in No
vember.
In his first western appear
ance since officially open
ing his campaign, the gu
bernatorial candidate said
that the people of North
Carolina are "fed up" with
politicians who think they
own the government, with
politicians who build roads,
not necessarily where they
are needed, but where thae
roads will get votes or con
tributions for the politicbns
in power.
In introducing former Re
publican State C hairman
Holshouser, it was stressed
that Mr. Holshouser has
never been defeated in any
primary or general election.
Holshouser has been elected
to the North Carolina State
Legislature four times and

Joining Yancey Gountians
in the dinner and rally were
Republicans from Mitchell,
Avery, McDowell, Madison
and Buncombe Counties.
Ginny Vance and the
Linville River Boys, a coun
try music group from Avery
County, provided the en
tertainment and played for
square dancing. Ginny in
terspersed her music and
singing with quite a few
political remarks, none of
which were Anti-Republfaan
Party. This could probably
be explained by the fact
that she is Vice Chairman of
the Republican Party in
Avery County.
Cake auctioning was ta
ken care of by Bobby Gus
Randolph of Cane River,
who also helped with the
square dancing. As a natter
of fact, over half of the par
tisan crowd of three hundrol

few participated in the
square dancing.

were State Republican Vioe
Chairman, Grace Rhorer
and Eleventh District Re -
publican Vice Chairman,
"Charlie" Griffin of Ashe
ville, N.C.
Proposed Coordinating
Council Meets Opposition
The proposed formation
of a Yancey County Coordi
nating Council, as reported
in last week's Yancey Re
cord, has resulted in some
spirited reaction, according
to committee members who
participated in the initial
organization meeting.
The pirpose of the pro
posed new council is to eva
luate, promote, and in some
cases administer worthwhile
projects and programs for
the improvement of Yancey
County. The reaction of
at least two existing agen -
cies has been that the new
council appears to be an
unneeded duplication of the
field now filled by existing
organizations.
Opposing this view, other
committee members have
stoutly defended the propos
ed new council, maintain -
ing that it will serve impor
tant functions not now
performed. It will, for ex
ample have the capability
of administering a new day
care program in the county,
for which money will shortly
be available.
Advocates of the new
council maintain, further,
that in the face of the grow
ing bireaucratic emphasis on
"regionalism" (i. e. the can
bining of several counties far
the carrying out of
there is an important place
for a council to concentrate
on the interests of Yancey.
