Courtroom
Drama
The Carolina Theatre
Company will present a
courtroom drama,“The Death
of Candace Wingler,” in
courthouses throughout the
state for the Department of
Public Instruction this fall.
This re-enactment of a 1922
murder trial is designed to
introduce ninth graders to the
North Carolina system of
justice.
There will be a perfor
mance of this courtroom
drama in Burnsville at the
Courthouse on Monday, Oc
tober 4, at 1:00 p.m.
Candace Wingler died in
1893 in a remote cabin in
Wilkes County. Her death
was ruled accidental and that
explanation was accepted
until a neighbor accused her
husband of murder 29 years
later and the case was
reopened.
Students attending the
performance will receive stu
dy materials both before and
after the presentation. Theplay
does not include the verdict
and each group of students
will arrive at a verdict on their
own. The study materials will
then give them the original
verdict, a later Supreme Court
dicision on an appeal, and a
description of the ultimate
fate of the principals in the
trial.
The Carolina Theatre
Company, directed by Wil
liam Dreyer, is a profesional
touring company based in
Winston Salem. In addition to
the current tour for the
Department of Public Instruc
tion, the company performs in
prisons, juvenile training cen
ters and homes for senior
citizens.
These productions are sup
ported by the North Carolina
legislature.

United Way
Campaign In Full Swing
The 1976 fund raising
campaign of the Yancey
United Way is now in full
swing, with $4,800 already
raised, or more than 25 per
cent of the $19,000 goal set by
the budget committee. Ac
cording to Campaign Chair
man Joe K. Johnson, things
are going well, thanks both to
the efforts of the volunteer
workers, as well as to the
generous spirit displayed by
contributors.
The campaign chairman
this year is making a special
effort to get across to the
people of the county the
importance of the work of the
many agencies included in the
budget. It is hoped that
through recognition of the
number of agencies, and the
benefits of their work, the
individual contributions will
be larger than heretofore.
In answer to the question
of how many people in Yancey
County are benefited through
the United Way campaign,
* the campaign committee has
made the following factual
statement. Probably everyone
benefits. The work of one
or another for whom
money is being raised touches
the lives of all the people in
the county. /
From year to year the
budgets of the United Way
campaigns have been increas
ing. This is both in recogni
tion of the effects of inflation,
and the fact that more
agencies are now included in
the budget than heretofore. It
is hoped that many contribu
tors will recognize that a day’s
pay will approximate a fair
share of support to the many
activities covered by the
budget.
As in previous years an
honor roll is being published
of the larger contributors. The

Saturday, October 16 from
’ 10:30 to 3:00 p.m. Have you

Gibbs have done with an old
farm and with interesting
pieces of family furniture. Are
you interested in the art of
living? See the Abrahamson’s
house, where world travel and
intensive home-making are
blended in an unusual syn
thesis. Are you waiting to see
the Charles Jones do-it-your
self post-and-beam house
when it is finished? Don’t
wait; you might never see it.

Home Repair For
Older Americans
An application for a home
repair project submitted by

them to continue living in
their homes. The limited

limits the rehabilitation that
