Dear Editor:
Last weekend our family had the pleasure of attending
the Miss North Carolina Pageant in Charlotte which is spon
sored by the N.C. Jaycees. A* each contestant made her
appearance it became obvious to me the places with strong
Jaycee organizations by the imount of supporters the girl
had. Os all the sixty-two cities and counties across the
state Yancey County was one of the best represented.
This group of Jaycees and Jaycettes not only sponsor the
Miss Mayland Pageant, they spend many long hous help
ing prepare their contestant for the N.C. Pageant with en
thtfiasm and confidence. This provides an unforgettable
experience for a girl each year.
The Yancey Jayce«es and Jaycettes are also very active
in other areas of community affairs and we are fortunate to
have such a fine organization in our county.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Earl Young

Dear Editor:
Oi behalf of the entire Banks family I wish to thank the
wonderful people of the Mayland area for tire kindness and
support they have shown our daughter, Luanne, during her
reign as "Miss Mayland".
We are grateful for the tremendous amount of work the
Jaycees and Jaycettes of Yancey County did to promote the
local pageant and then their enthusiastic efforts to prepare
her for the Miss North Carolina Pageant. Luanne's travels
and official appearances in Avery County have given her
opportunities to work closely with the Jaycees and Jaycettes
in Avery. Their care and concern for her reveal the truly
fine calibre of individuals who make up the Jaycees and
Jaycettes. ~
We thank the many organizations, sponsoring business
firms, The Yancey Journal and WKYK Radio for the fine
support of Miss Mayland. We are warmly grateful to the
host of friends from the area who went to Charlotte to voice
their support of our Mayland contestant.
We are indebted to you, Mayland, for your generosity
and warmth you have shown Luanne in her many official
appearances this year. Thank you for making this year a
never-to-be-forgotten experience.
Sincerely,
Mr. Ben Banks

Appalachian folktales are
numerous in this region, but
they represent a folk division
that I haven't attempted to use
in this column, primarily be
cause such stories lose a great
deal in the writing down.
But when one hears a good
teller in action at the local res
taurant, drug store, or country
store, it is difficult not to try
to get his words on papier. The
story teller usually swears that
his tale is a true one, and if he
is a successful teller, he may
convince his audience that the
events related have just recent
ly occurred when .actually he
may simply be refurbishing an
old story.
For the past several weeks
Pve been trying to run down a
chicken hawk story which soinds
as if it may have been used nu-
merous times. Os the dozens
of people I have questioned,
however, I have found onlyone
person who recognizes it, and
he is the pason who originally
passed along to me.
Joe Miller, a Boone druggist,
who also has a keen interest in
folklore and folk crafts, tells
of the Wilkes County farmer
whose Bock, of chickens had
been sadly diminished by a
hawk which showed an uncanny
ability to swoop down, grab a
young chicken In his talons,
and dodge the shotgun fire of
the outraged farmer.
Finally the farmer became
so irate that he swore specific
personal revenge on the hawk--
shooting would no longer satis
fy his need. So he tied a choice
pjullet to a stake inside a par
t tally suspended cage and wait

sfasd
ed for the hawk to claim his
victim. The hawk obliged,
knocked over the stick which
held up the cage, and became
the farmer's prisoner.
The farmer then debated
the nature of his revenge. His
first impulse was to pluck
every feather from the living
bird and tie it to a stake in the
blazing sun. Then he consider
ed the possibility of clipping
its wings and talons and tossing
it into the pen with his prize
fighting cock.
Eventually he came to the
conclusion that the only satis
factory measure would be to
tie a stick of dynamite to the
hawk, toss it into the air, and
watch it be blown to bits of
nothing by the exploding dy
namite.
Private revenge was not suf
ficient for the farmer, who
called in his neighbors and
Mends to witness the execu -
tion of his plan. Putting on a
pair of heavy gloves he care
fully pulled the offending
chicken hawk from the trap
and with the aid of the son
attached a stick of dynamite
to the hawk's le& trimming
the fuse short enough to cause
the dynamite to explode short
ly after the hawk was given
Ms freedom.
The fuse was lighted, the
hawk tossed into the air, and
the farmer set to enjoy his re
venge. The hawk, as if read
ing his destruction in the
hissing stick attached to his leg
decided to end things his way.
Circling twice over the heads
of the assembled onlookers, he
glided to a pierch on the chim
ney of the farmer's home,while
the fuse spluttered and the
ground observers ran for cover.
In desperation the farmer,
his wife, and son yelled at the
hawk and threw sticks and rocks
in an effort to scare the bird
from its perch; finally a rock
grazed the hawk, it flew from
the chimney, the dynamite ex
ploded, and the air was filled
with feathers and shingles. The
revenge was complete but
costly. Dejectedly the farmer
surveyed a roof from which all
the shingles had been leveled
to the roof line. From that day
forth his chickens fended for
themselves.
If there are readers who re
call similar tales (or true hap>-
penings), 1 would be pleased to
see them and p>erhaps use some
of them xdj future columns.
