When I moved to this area ancmy children began attending school, I was glad to know that tachers and principals had the authority to discipline, and I wasproud to live in an area where parents stood behind school officils when their child was pro - perly disciplined. I have had children attending licaville Elementary School for six years and I would like to spress my appreciation to the Principal and teachers, not only X the school improvements which are too many to list and fc the knowledge my children have gained, but for the guidanc and discipline they have re ceived when needed. to.

Is it some thing like the weather \y!ch everyone talks about but no one does anything abut it? And yet, milk is releant. It fits today’s “life style” as one of nature’s best pxtuets. Then why hasn’t per capita consumption of irik kept pace with population growth? Can it be that peopl turn off products when they turn into habits? Or wbn they become blase' about anything? For example,a market survey in Chicago following the intensive 3-day coverage of the Apofio 15 flight to the moon fond that only 1.6 percent of the people polled could rnill the names of astronauts Worden, Irwin and Scot. What should be doic with a strait-laced product like milk that’s tied tiglitx with social mores, conven tions and institutions? Butvess this fact with the “drink your milk' command of geiertftions of mothers and the industry faces a “goody goody gumshoes” problem harder to sell than fizz orfun or sin. Is “being good for voi” the worst thing that can be said about a product? And milk and milk pnducts are good for people. In fact, they’re necessary for the maintenance of a proper diet. It’s difficult tongest the proper amounts of vitamins and minerals witiout consuming dairy foods. Is milk in the same lew with the churches, the familv units and other iistitutions such as “family meals which are ennsideed “not relevant” and are changing or fading from tie American scene? Not on your life! Milk products do belong in our society. Note tliejines for head and milk when people revert to “basics” during a snow storm. If man buys milk to fill his basic need hen. how do we get him to use dairy products during a materialistic bonanza of competing products? Simply by motivating hm to use milk because lie’ll lie a better man for it, it he Joes. After all. as American Dairy Association s "New Yai” campaign says: If you’re losing three billion cells a hiiiute. you certainly want to replace them w ith new/energetie cells. And that means milk And that’s whyfnilk is relevant now, and tomorrow, too! THE YANCEY JOURNAL Burnsville.N.C. Ed Yuziuk - Publisher Carolyn Yuziuk - Editor Pat Briggs - Manager Jody Higgins - Assoc.

Students Will be involved in identifying and analyzing specific problems and concerns facing young peo ple today. Stamp Conor By George Cheren (Guest Columnists Norman Auld, Pres. Florida Prec.ancel So ciety (with permission of the Hollywood (Fla. ) Philatelist) Many collectors I have spoken to are not quite clear as to what precancels are or the purpose in using them. Just before the turn of the century, the p>ostal authorities were searching for away to save time and labor in the handling of certain classes of mail. They hit upon the idea of issuing permits to large users of mail and issuing stamps to them in bulk; already canceled with the name of the city or town printed across each stamp. For this, users received a cheaper rate (since discontinued). The user in turn, affixed the stamp to his mail, bundled it and returned it to the post office for distribu - tion. Prior to this method, there was in use, a system of lines, bars or 'designs, without showing airy city or town name. These are generally known as "precancel provisionals" and there remains a large field for research on these stamps, as the only way for identification lies in the fact that they must be found on cover to determine the place of origin. Many of them are known to day but there is still more research to be done. In the early days, local printers were hired. Metal and rub ber hand devices were made to overprint the stamps in just about any way each city or town desired to show off its name. This resulted in many very beautiful precanceled types. The compe tition ran high until the postal authorities, more or less, stan dardized the type of overprinting to be used. This consisted of 2 lines or bars with the name of the city or town in-between. These were all made locally, thus the name "Local" was kept. The government then began producing what we call "Bureaus. " They were overprinted at the same time that the stamps them selves were printed at the Government Bureau of Engraving and Printing for the larger users of precancels. Both Local and Bur eau precancels are still used extensively today. Why are precancels so fascinating and why collect them - ' It is hard to name any one specific reason for their popularity, but, just as in topical collecting, there are unlimited ways and possi bilities of collecting them that can hold one's interest for years. The writer was bitten by the bug some 20 years ago, and pre cancels are still his number one love in the field of philately. If you are one who enjoys traveling, whether in actuality or in your imagination, you may find a geeat amount of enjoy - ment by tracing out a trip of precancels on a map or investiga ting the peculiar name of a little town, with a desire to learn the origin of the name, its population, its products, etc. In this way, you can gain unlimited knowledge of the large metro politan areas or the back-road, out-of-the-way places of our beloved country. There are many branches to consider and much research yet to be done . With the advent of new and up-dated catalogs, hopefully to be published soon, one can branch out into a mul titude of ways to collect precancels. If a person wishes to collect just towns of a particular state or states, the new postal regulations allow one to write to any post office,state the regulation and obtain at face value, 10* of the denomination that are in use there. This can be an investment of as little as 10* plus a stamp-addressed envelope. You then have 9 copies left for trading or selling. Os course you may spend more for higher denominations, if you wish. Some of the post offices are not yet familiar with the new regulation, and you may meet with some opposition, birtT on the whole, most are quite cooperative. If you go to a post office or write in, quote to them, Regulation 143. 261. For stamp information, write Fidelity, Box 667, Burnsville, N.C. 28714 (c/o The Yancey Journal)...or write George Cherer* 150 S.E. 1 Ave., Miami, Florida 33131. acute general hospital and pro vide basic support and supervi sion through its departments to the planned Yancey County extended care facility in Burns ville.

To determine the exact health care needs of people li ving in this area, studies and surveys were begun as early as 1966. Reports were submitted to the Board of Trustees by the Department of Hospital Admi nistration at the University of North Carolina, City Planning and Architectural Associates from Chapel Hill, and,in!97l, by Dean E.
