Girl Scouts Aid Project
One of Troop 88’s Girl Scout good deeds this year was their assistance with the facelifting
prefect for the town square. These Junior Scouts gave their Girl Scout cookie money earnings to
the Chamber of Commerce to help purchase the water fountain. Because of their donation, a
plaque on the water fountain recognizes their troop in acknowledging their participation in this
community project. Pictured above, Junior Girl Scout Troop 88. Pictured below: members of the

Yancey MHA Held
Productive Meeting
A very productive meeting
was held by the Yancey
Mental Health Association at
its annual dinner Friday at the
Presbyterian Church, Burns
ville.
Patrick J. Hardy, Mental
Health Director, spoke of the
need for added space, which
will be met when the Mental
Health Center moves to the
building formerly occupied by
Radio Station WKYK. He
introduced the guest speaker,
Larry Thompson, Director of
the Blue Ridge Community
Health Center. Mr. Thomp
son praised the progress
made in community mental
health programs following
enactment a few years ago of
state and federal legislation in
treating people on an outpa
tient basis rather than as
patients in hospitals. He
stressed the need for prevent
tive care in keeping patients
10 c
out of hospitals. This, he
conceded, is more difficult in
rural communities.
Mr. Thompson commen
ded Yancey’s Adult Day
Activities Program (ADAP)
for its accomplishments in the
county. Community health is
still evolving, according to
Mr. Thompson. But, he
pointed out, a much better job
needs to be done in finding
what we can and should not
do in this area.
Walter Anderson, ADAP’s
new director, outlined his
goals, which will include
structuring of programs for
each person’s needs. His
