Smith Reynolds Foundatioiylnc. of Winston-Salem, has inform ed Joe E. Eagles, Executive Director of the North Carolina Housing Corporation, that the Foundation has made a grant to the Development Fund of the Corporation for $120,000. According to Scott, this grant makes it possible for the Corporation to assist local non profit housing groups in the Ap-- f palachian area to put up match ing funds to supplement the Federal no- interest loans avail able for planning projects. "Housing projects are plan ned on a regional basis, " said Scott, 'and it is our desire that all areas of our Appalachian Region share in these projects Local initiation is still vital to assure success. " "We are also pleased that the area office of Housing and ' tirhan Development in Greens boro has requested set aside funds for 1200 rent supplement units in the Appalachian area , to the financial success of these units when they are built. " This is a splendid example of federal, state and local co operation, with foundation help to local groups to assure success said Scott. "On behalf of the people of North Carolina, I am grateful to Mr. Bagley and the Board of Directors of the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation for their generous support. " Eagles said this offers the opportunity for the Housing Corporation to make a signi - ficant step forward. Further grants could allow the Corpor ation to move through similar type programs into other areas of the State where the need for housing is just as great. U Rev.C.W.

Our 2, 000 schools experi enced much less unrest and turmoil than in the past several terms. Very few school days were lost due to incidebts. We have been very much aware that the news media of the state have spent mare time and space in positively interpreting "what's going on in our schools" to their publics. We have noticed an upward trend toward more positive , attitudes concerning schools. We attribute this to the day to day activity of school administrators in communicating with citizens through the North Carolina news media. This has been accentuated by the emphasis placed on positive ap proaches to learning in individual schools and school systems. I strongly feel that the emphasis we have placed on commu nicating information, both from state and local school sys - terns, is leading to a better understanding. Please convey our grateful thanks to all members of your staff for their splendid cooperation during the past nine months. Sincerely, !• ‘ A. Craig Phillips State Superintendent of Public Instruction * ‘ ” -t ★ Dear Editor: I was out of town when the meeting announcing the launch ing of the Blue Ridge Hospital System's drive for updated and expanded hospital facilities was held. I was greatly impressed by the excellent potential bargain that will be obtained for the future of our area, and our peo ple, through improving and expanding our present facilities. I wish to point out to all concerned the extreme generos ity of one of our leading citizens, Mr. Bradley E. Ragan Sr. Do you realize that he singly gave over more than half of the local funds necessary to be contributed for this $5 million Medical Facility? I have known this gentleman, Mr. Ragan, for 21 and a half years that it has been my pleasure to be a citizen here. I have attended many public and private meetings during this time, and have seen Mr. Ragan on many occasions demon - strate generosity and leadership in advancing worthwhile cau ses that have been of inestimable value in improving our area and helping us forge ahead. We all owe him a great debt of personal gratitude, and I hope that we all will express it and demonstrate it to him. Jack C. Horner, M.D., F.A.C.S. Spruce Pine, N.C. 28 777 ★ Dear Editor: * You have recently published articles solely dedicated to turnirjg the people of Yancey County against the Union. You have published only the employers point of view along with other businessmen of Yancey County. You said in your article that the Union was trying to get into Yancey County. This is entirely wrong. The workers asked the Union to come or it wouldn't be here. Plant work ers of Yancey County are working too hard and are not re ceiving benefits that should come with the job. They should have a say-so in such matters as pay increases, retirement plans, vacation with pay, paid holidays and sick leave, etc. So far the employees have received only benefits the employer has wished. Workers of Yancey County are being taken for granted. They have finally realized this and are fed up with the treat ment they are receiving. They are being over worked, un der paid and have nothing to look forward to when they - re tire but backaches and rocking chairs. Yours truly, ’ An employee of a local plant. ★ Dear Employee: It is a policy of this newspaper not to publish unsigned let ters, although we will withhold the writer's name on request. We are making an exception in this case, in order that '’em ployees" may have their viewpoint expressed. In last week's editorial we stated much the same points you have made, but are glad to have them re-emphasized. Our contention differs with yours only in that we feel Union do not provide an answer. Our viewpoint does not comefran Industries and businessmen as you suggest, but from having been a Union member for more than 10 years. We will be glad to add our voice to yours in the fight for better working conditions and more benefits for industrial employees in Yancey County.
