We went to town and we
went to the Fire Department
first. We saw the fire truck
and we got to look at them.
The fire Department is run by
the City Government. They
help put fires out at people's
homes. We pay them back
by paying our taxes. Jerry Laws
drives a fire truck.
Then we went to City Hall.
We had Tar>g and cookies and
a lady told us that the new wa
ter tank would hold 2 million
gallons of water. The City
Hall is run by the City Govern
ment.
Then we'Wem to the Post
Office. ”ftic Postmaster show
ed us where they put the mail
and he told us that wc should
always put /dp codes on letters
when we write one and he
showed tis how to open the door
to get your mail.
Then we went to the court
house and then Lite courtroom
and then we. went down in the
elevator and then went down
* to see the jails and I saw some
one in the jail.
Then we went to the Yan
cey Journal and we saw how

we saw a girl make some head
lines.

Letters To The Editor
Tt ” T
Dear Editor;
Enclosed is a picture of Jim
Bingham and me with bass we
caught in Lake Okeechobee
Monday and Tuesday. I was
lucky in catching the larger
fish which weighed six and one
half pounds and Jim caught the
other which weighed five lbs.
When Mr. Bingham left
ft Burnsville last fall he was re
covering from surgery and I
am sure all his friends will be
happy to know he is in condi -
tion to go fishing. Mr. and
Mrs. Bingham will leave New
York on June 30th for a 45-day
trip to Switzerland and other
countries abroad.
Mrs. Pollard and I plan to
return to Burnsville around the
Ist of June.
I would like to take this op
portunity to congratulate you
on your efforts and success in
retaining an independent news
paper for Yancey County. We
missed the paper for several
weeks but through the kindness
of Mrs. Burton and Scott Moore
of the Mt. Mitchell Motel, we
received each Edition and dup
licates of some.

Our class walked to Burns
ville. We are studying about
our town.
First we visited the Fire De
partment.
Next we went to the City
Hall. Mrs. King told us about
the water system. We had re
freshments and walked on to
the Post Office.
We noticed many kinds of
businesses on our way. At the
Post office, Mr. Buck told us
about how file mail is delivered
From there, we had a tour
of the courthouse.
Next, we visited the Yan
cey Journal. YVe learned how
the paper was printed.
We wish to thank everyone
who helped us learn more about
our town and made our trip en
joyable.

Dear Editors ''
Statistics are often mislead
ing," aren't they? Mrs.Yuziukfc
cjisgust at the "poor turnout"
for the Board of Education pri
mary might be softened if she
would consider the following
figures;
1. In the Democratic con
test in District 11, the total
Democratic registration in ttese
eight precincts is 3384. Os this
total, 1674 actually voted.
This is just a hair under
which is a good turnout for a
Primary I would think.
2. In District I there was a
Republican contest only, and
of 641 registered Republicans,
292 voted—4s V 294, again a
good turnout.
County-wide, of approxi -
mately 4070 Democrats, 1907
voted-or 46 1/294 and of appro
ximately 2400 registered Re
i
Burnsville Fire Department, City Hall, Post Office,Court
house and Jail, and The Yancey Journal. They then
went back to school and wrote about the experience. For
a student's eye view of the trip, see essays below.

First we went to the Fire
Department. Jciry Laws told
us about it. He let us climb
on the fife engines. Then we
went to'the City Hall and they
told us about the water. Tiny
said jthere would be 2 million
gallons in tire new tank.
Then wc went to the Post
Office. They showed us how
they did everything. Mrs. Nor
ris got her mail too.
Then we went to the court
house atid, saw the courtroom
and the jail.
Then wc went to the Yan
cey Journal. A girl showed us
how they wrote tilings. Mr.
Yuduk showed us how they
make the paper. A’ girl took
our picture inside and outside.
When wc got back, we went
to lunch.
publicans, 624 voted—2694.
The conclusion I would draw
from these figures is that the
Republican turnout was light,
particularly noting that of the
458 Republicans registered in
Crabtree, only 72 voted or less
than 1694! It is hardly accur -
ate to include such figureswhen
you are supposedly talking
about the Democratic contest
in Precincts 1-8.

Dear Editor:
Yancey County systems lave

unless many changes are

I have paid many unexpec

year and have always found it
clean and orderly, with classes
in session.
Many improvements have
been made since Mr. Deyton
became principal, both on the
building and the disciplining
of the students.
The teachers and the princi
pal are to be highly commen -
ded for their work in this school.
