Although the arguments were not completely resolved, the Commission established future procedures and policies for mat ters of this sort, and went on to more important business. In establishing the 1973 in land fishing regulations, the Commission made only a few changes from the 1972 rules; dtfjjese are: ./Pb prohibit the use of metal dans as floats for trotlines and set-hooks, and for marking nets. Metal cans are a hazard to boating and other water sports. To allow licensed commer cial pound net fishermen to re tain a daily limit of 25 panfish taken incidentally to commer - cial fishing operations. It is impractical for pound net fish ermen to sort all panfish from the large catches of fish normal ly taken in pound nets.

OF LINGERIE ;! HOLLYWOOD VASSARETTE I FOR THE JUNIOrLF MISTY HARBOR ALL ; WEATHER COATS OR WARM I CARCOATSOR PANT COATS BY DAVIS OF BOSTON Letter To The editor ® Dear Editor: I would like to express my appreciation publically to all tire precinct officials conducting last Tuesday's election. It was the quietest, smoothest Election Day that I can remem ber, with no complaints from either party about improper conduct at the ppolling places. The Registrars and most of the Judges have been very, very patient and cooperative in keeping up>-to-date on all the changes that I have required of them in the past iow years. I also want to thank all the Party worliers for making a real effort to follow strictly to tire law both in aiding fellow voters at the polls, and in ob taining absentee votes. Out of the 284 Absentee Ballots ac ted upon at the courthouse on Election Night, only two were challenged.*. The challenge was sustained because this cou ple admittedly live across the county line and should have registered elsewhere. There were no charges that ballots had been falsely obtained. Seven were rejected by the Board because of minor technicalities; three lacked a visible notary seal and four had used a postmaster instead of a rotary. Subsequent information from the State Board is that the last four should have been counted since a postmaster is legally allowable as witness to an affidavit. As to the fact that I refused to pmt a number on the face of all Absentee Ballots as required by law, I hold that that requirement is contrary to the right to a secret ballot guar anteed by the U. S. Constitution. The day of "Big Brother is Watching You" is indeed here already. Not many seem to care: that offices are bugged; wires are tapped; free speech pmts you on somebody's list; the Army spies on civilians and files them on compmteis; the Federal government can look over all bank checks to see how you spend your money and what organizations you support; "no-knock" legislation al lows the prolice to enter a man's home without warning and without proved .cause; if you just happen to be walking down the street during a "demonstration" the FBI may take your picture and label you subversive--etc, etc. Well I care and if the only right left is the right to a secret ballot, lam rot ashamed to trying to proserve that right. * Sincerely, Maty Ohle ★ Dear Editor: A few years ago my wife and I visited a large zoo in Cal ifornia—among other animals we observed several Peacocks. The Peacocks were allowed to roam the park grounds at will. They were proud and very strutting with their fine plumage. One small person we saw reached out and plucked a fine fan feather from one of the big birds. The Peacock squawked and ran—very comical to the many people around the park. Years later I observed a Peacock here in my own Yancey County once again strutting, well plumed and blown upwith his own importance. This Peacock went about doing things and more or less allowed to run at will. One of the things he did was to dis miss a member of his staff—who happened to be a Democrat? as well as a very nice guy, good citizen of Yancey County, and very dedicated to his job? This fancy Peacock went about dismissing this dedicated Social Worker by means of using his office and position to pry into other citizens private business. Business of which the Social Worker had no knowledge. Had no knowledge of because he was a man with personal ethics which did not allow his interference and invasion of p>rivate business, such as pesonal bank accounts. Evidently this Peacock had no such ethics and felt that his desired end justified any crooks! means. To my personal knowledge the only lasting benefits this fancy Peacock brought to Yancey County was the alienation of a few of its citizens, against the Department of Social Services. This because of his attempts to pry into the busi - ness of private citizens. It is certainly with no regrets this one taxpaying citizen of Yancey County reads of the squawking and running of one more Peacock the first time his plumage was plucked. Oh incidentally, I wish to express one citizens apprecia - tion to Proffitts Store for their fine effort in providing need - ful and gainful employment to, rot one, but several fami - lies of Yancey County. I feel i. all substantial citizens did as much as Yates Bail ey and Proffitts Store this county might well do without the >ocial Services Dept. More especially the cut- and- run Peacocks. Sincerely, Ralph H. Metcalf Parties Held At Playsthool The children attending Burns ville Playschool have been en joying a number of parties the past few weeks. Monica Leigh Woody cele - bra ted her fifth birthday on Oc tober 27 with a party given by her mother, Mrs. Alan Woody. Cto Halloween, the children were treated to a party by Mis. Keith Styles and Mr. Glover Morgan. THANK YOU I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK EACH AND EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTED ME ON NOVEMBER 7th.
