Humans Are “Sexy”
To Insects!
Did you know that biting insects consider some people
more “sexy” than others? Just as people are attracted to
each other by sight and smell, mosquitoes, bees and wasps
respond to these sensa
tions, too! It’s not only the
perfume or aftershave lo
tions, we wear, but also the
normal smell of our bodies,
the color and fabric of our
clothes, and so forth.
Because reactions to
stinging insects tend to get
worse with each succeeding
episode, and since more
than 40 deaths occur an
nually from such reactions,
allergic people should get a
bee-sting kit from their drug
store equipped with a tour-
Each week we present the above comments for your
information. We very much appreciate your reader
ship and would be especially happy to have you ex
press your views regarding the contents of this space.

Volunteer Hostess At 1973 Fair
For a small town and county the size of Burnsville and Yancey County, having the Mt. Mitchell
Crafts Fair and the Yancey Youth Jamboree is quite an accomplishment, especially when one
considers that both events are carried through to completion largely through volunteer effort. This has
been true since the Fair began in 1956 and the Jamboree In 1968. Each year quite a bit of work in
coordinating the two events is Involved with scheduling enough help in order to m»l»» things run
smoothly. One of the heartwarming experiences of being involved is seeing how willing people are to
assist when they are asked-and one such person, shown above, is Miss Theresa Coletta, Volunteer
Hostess at last year’s Fair. Leaders In the Chamber of Commerce wonder if there are those who would
like to help and have not been asked. Throughout the years, those who have helped have looked
forward to giving their services again. It is time for scheduling volunteers for both events, which are
on the calendar for the first weekend in August. For anyone who wonld like to give some time, feel
free to call or write the Chamber of Commerce and offer assistance that will be most appreciated.
Letter To
The Ultor ® fi3|l§
Dcar”l\ditor:
I am very pleased to read in the Journal the good news that they
are restoring the old Courthouse building. I hope they use It as a
Historical Site as 1 know it is the first Courthouse in Burnsville.
With the other historical places such as Nu Wray Inn, and with the
nearness of Mt. Mitchell and other beautiful mountains, Burnsville
is a good place to keep the mountain heritage.
I was bom in Burnsville and lived near the Railroad Station until
1 was 19 years old, in 1928.1 left for Pennsylvania then, but If 19621
took my first vacation back to Burnsville. I was amazed at how nice
the town has been kept. I have good memories of Burnsville and I
look forward to my Journal every week. I see a lot of people’s names
I knew at one lime.
Print this letter if you like. Maybe my old friends will remember
me by my maiden name, McCoury.
Thank you,
Mrs. Hattie Broamell
Dear Editor: _
We recently sent the following letter to Postmaster General
Edward T. Kiassen at Grove Park Inn, Asheville. We will appreciate
your printing the same letter in your “Letters To The Editor”
column to convey our sentiments to the public at large.
Postmaster General Edward T. Kiassen
Grove Park Inn
Ashevilie, N.C.
Dear Sir:
Welcome to beautiful Western North Carolina. May I
brighten your day? All we hear are complaints about the
U.S. Postal Service.
We started the Yancey County Country Store seven
years ago. We have mailed thousands of catalogs and
brochures in addition to our regular mail. We have mailed
many, many packages, and received unknown quantities.
Except for a few minor instances, our mail travels
smoothly and rapidly. Only one insurance claim on packages
mailed or received has been necessary. Our orders go out
for books, and the books are received the same week.
I can only commend our local post office, its past
postmasters and employees of the Post Office Dept., and
our Asheville office for their efficiency. I wish to welcome
our new Postmaster, Philip R. Banks.
Thank you all, and keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
George A. Downing, Phyllis B. Downing
