The original Act provided benefits only for the retired worker,-with a minimum monthly payment of SIO.OO and a maximum monthly payment of $45.60, and a tax rate of only 1%. innumerable Amendments to the original Social Security Act of 1935 have added a multitude of benefits a-*d coverages, resulting in our present comprehensive program of retirement, survivor, and disability insurance benefits, plus Medicare. We mention the continuously changing nature of the program only to stress how important it has beejrto us to have had your cooperation and assistance in informing the public of the changes in the programs and of their rights under the various programs. Your help in providing public service space for social security information and news has led many eligible individuals and families to contact us who would not have done so had they not read of their potential eligibility in The Yancey Journal. We want to take this opportunity, then, to thank you ,for your cooperation during the past year. Our thanks also for your kindness in sending us complimentary copies of The Yancey Journal. It is very helpful in our effort to keep aware of happenings in the areas we serve. We invite your suggestions regarding the nature and format of our material, and hope that the public will continue to benefit from our mutual efforts." Sincerely, A.

Thursday, Feb.l3, 1975 Volume 4, Number 7 Subscription Rates By Mall: In Yancey County One Year $5.00 Six Months $4.00 Out of County or State One Year $7.00 Six Months $6.00 tDear Editor: » My Great-Great-Great-Grandfather “Yellow Jacket” John Bailey gave twenty acres to Yancey County with the provision that they make Burnsville the County Seat. In 1928, my father, hearing of a movement afoot to do away with the town square, called the family together and they all decided that It constituted a heritage of the County. When the County Commission met [at that time it was D.C. Bailey, Dan Hurst and John Edge] they passed a resolution aiming the town square “Bailey’s Square” and more importantly decided it was to be retained for posterity. The point is that the town square, as It was heretofore, with its many large old trees, was meant to be a heritage of Yancey County. Those of us who knew the origins of the square and who held an interest In its perpetuation Are deeply sorrowful that the square has undergone such a radical and unnecessary change. There is nothing about the square as it now appears, to remind us of our history or heritage-what the square has always stood for to many of us in Yancey County. Sincerely, - -- John Yates Bailey 1 ★ Dear Editor: Your picture of the square in this week’s paper made us sick! Only those who have babied an oak sapling into a beautiful shade tree as we have done [in the past twelve years] in an area where the absence of trees is very noticeable can appreciate what trees really mean. It was the beauty of the mountains that prompted us to purchase our property in Yancey County. I have regretted every tree that had to be cut down for Our road. Our young son took one look at the picture and said, “It’s wrecked!” He, like many hundreds, enjoyed both the shade and shelter of those trees during the craft festivals. Sure hope we have some in August this year. Sincerely, Helen Walker ”T [Mrs. Dudley Walker] Tampa, Florida ★ Dear Editor: How can you expect that the person responsible for the destruction of the personality and charm of our County Seat would be brave enough to admit his incredible stupidity? Os course the entire Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce is equally responsible. Are the merchants of Burnsville proud of their representatives? Or will they prove their good citizenship by promptly dismissing those responsible and electing a new Board of Directors? One that will promise no more secret plans for the destruction of Burnsville. Until I read that this has been accomplished, I will do no more shopping in Burnsville. Sincerely, Della Ogilvie y Route 5 ■ ★ Dear Editor: For the past three weeks, I have witnessed actions undertaken by Public Officials in Yancey County that I never expected to see anywhere in the United States of America. These actions are tantamount to those in a Communisitic State. Elected Officials would not answer to the populace, nor was any restraint used to appease the majority of the citizenry of Yancey County. Appeals were made to the Mayor of Burnsville, the Chairman of the County Board of Commissioners, and the President of the Chamber of Commerce. Each one of these officials passed the buck to the other. But the trees kept ■dropping. - » The Mayor was in the Town Square a great deal of the time | while this shameless act was going on. At oite time a woman ■approached him and asked if something could not be done to ■stop the slaughter of the trees; his reply was to the effect Ihe had heard enough about the trees and if she did not like I what was being done, “... Get your butt on the other side of the street,” [names upon request] and this from a gentleman of the “first water”. I How simple it would have been to have hired a tree surgeon In the first place [instead of butchering the- tops off two years |*B°] to have operated on these trees and they would have graced the square another half century, in good health and | regal bearing. I This must be how it is to live in Russia where the citizens have not a word to say but docily submit to the abuse of Sincerely, George A. Downing | Burnsville ■ * | Dear Editor: I My family and 5 ! were shocked to see the barrenness of the town square without the huge old trees to give it dignity and ■ warmth. It looks like a cemetery now...nothing left of the ? grace and endurance of the “good old days”. Ben Mandala Burnsville Editor: How terrible that the big old trees are all gone! Couldn’t ■ anyone have stopped this decimation? It seems as though ■historical reality has been shunted aside in favor of an I artificial, history being created with an architect’s planning m board. Whoever decided to have the trees cut owed It to every | citizen in the county to make public their intentions in order to | assess the feelings of the public they profess to serve. ■ lam not anxious to see how the town square facelift will |tum out now-it is hardlv different from “park landscaping" I being done all over the country. I will miss the old Town Square on my summer visits. | Sincerely, I Susan Tresh New York |Yancey Health Dept ■ Thursday, Feb. 13, Family Planning (Dr. WebbT 8:00-12:00 nday, Feb. 14, Child Health Clinic (Dr. Holt) 10:00- 2:00 | Saturday, Feb. 15, Maternal Health (Miss Kingham)B:OQ;>2:oo ImmSlv Febl?
