Record Price For Steers
Feeder calves and yearling steers sold for all time record prices this year.
Yearling steer prices were up $7.87 per hundredweight above a year ago. The
average weight was up 12 pounds and 2% went into a higher grade. The net
results of these increases was an additional $57 each animal sold coming back
to the farmer. Over the state, yearling steer producers took 1,635 more ani
mals to these sales than last year. The first Holstein Steer Sale ever tried at
Asheville was successful. There will be an effort to repeat it next year. The
average weight was 681 lbs. that sold for $33.86 per hundredweight or $230.90
per head. Feeder Calf sales averaged near the $44.00 per hundredweight mark
with steers at $46.25 and heifers at $40.25. This too is a record increase of
$8.62 above 1971 prices.
Letter To
The Editor ©.SE^gf
Dear Editor: c
Following is a copy of a letter which I sent to Gover
nor Robert Scott on December 1, 1972...
"Dear Governor Scott:
Governor Scott, just a few lines to congratulate you on
your excellent performance during your tenure as govemos
We belfeve you did an excellent job.
Mr. Scott, I teach 2 nights a week in a "correctional
camp" near Burnsville, and have a class of inmates of
from 2to 6. Attendance is erratic and unpredictable,and
understandably so.
However, I want to quickly, without being voluble,
make a couple of much-needed points—or points that are
much-needed to be officially recognized.
Fust, these men have always been courteous,respect -
ful, and well-mannered. We understand each other; we
do not talk down nor flatter one another. There's no bluff
ing, We exchange our facts and opinio re freely and with
trust. I've never heard these men swear in my presence!
They seldom smoke when class is in session—beoausethey
"think" cigarette smoke "bothets" me; I cannot say that
the average person bothers to have this much respect nnr
consideration for others!
One man, in my class, says that "about 30 to 35% when
released would not return". Mr. Scott, in view oftonigtts
CBS news broadcast, with Roger Mudd—and the report
that 80 congressmen, wives, etc. went to Europe at Tax
payer's expense to do their Christmas shopping— I would
say it might be in your power to immediately pardon and
release this 30 or 35% or 40% of the prison inmates in all
of North Carolina because the trivial offenses for Which
they've been imprisoned do not begin to compare with the
"theft and swindling" that's apparently going on up at
Washington, D. C. ! If it's not legally right for this 30%
to steal, etc., etc., .then it's not legally just that our
so-called Congressmen should "steal us blind" to do their
Christmas shopping in Europe! They get paid $60,000 a
year, expenses, hired help, and travel expenses— why
should they also steal as any common, ordinary pickpoc -
ket—at taxpayer's expense???
How about a little equality of justice in the state of
North Carolina as compared to Washington, D.C. 's "won
derful congress" of the federal gov't. ? "
Yours sincerely,
Vernon D. Stenzel
(Rt. 5, Burnsville)

Warren strongly rec :. mmends
that you first go to your local
Examiner and obtain a copy of
the manual supplement. Ade
quate study of the supplement
and regular manual should be
made before you attempt to take
the new test. *
THINK SAFETY FOR
A HAPPY HOLIDAY
The Christmas-New Year
holiday season is the brightest
and happiest of the year but
it frequently is one of the
most dangerous as well.
The Consumers Insurance
Information Bureau says that
for a safer holiday season,
celebrants should think of the
twin danger areas, Home and
Highway.
Home decorations, partic
ularly where real evergreen is
/ . - used, are a po-
VJ ■ tential source
ML for fire. Keep
XBL all decorations
jSSSa away from heat
Jfpll' and flame. Use
jrfr'&L only 'ighting
approved by the
Underwriters
Laboratory,
shown by the
ffl UL ,abeL Dis "
U card any lights
with worn wires and loose or
broken sockets. Do not use
flammable ornaments or dec
orations on trees or mantel
pieces.
A live tree should be kept
out-of-doors until needed.
Then, it should be placed in a
stand containing water. A fresh
diagonal cut on the trunk
about one inch above the
original cut will help the tree
absorb water and stay fresh
longer. The tree should be re
moved soon after Christmas
and certainly as soon as it
shows signs of drying.
The country’s highways are
also a particular danger over
the holiday season. Weather
and extra partying contribute
to high traffic tolls during this
period. In 1971, more than
1,400 people lost their lives
as a result of motor vehicle
accidents during the Christ
mas and New Year holiday
weekends.
The Bureau says that alco
hol is involved in at least 50
percent of all fatal accidents.
It suggests that party goers
eat a meal beforehand and, as
a rule of thumb set a limit of
two drinks an hour.
CUB, sponsored by the
National Association of In
surance Agents, recommends
extra precaution at home and
on the highways throughout
the year but especially during
the holiday season.
Young, 682-3142; Jim Griffith,
682-3179; I, D, Young, 682-

date your help.

The monthly meeting of the
directors of the YanceyCoimty
Mental Health Association will
be held December 12, at noon
at the Presbyterian Church.
Each member is asked to
bring a sack lunch and his own
drink. Visitors are welcome.
