My first acquaintance with Mr. Rector was In 1940 . while 1 was editor of the North Carolina Wildlife Conservation magazine. Through these years of the early forties in the South Toe River end Mt. Mitchell area, we m«iU together many wildlife and outdoor photographs and collected Information for publication. The accuracy of Mr. Rector on things pertaining to his native haunts was almost wholly unquestioned by all. By haunts we mean “hoot-owl” hollow, Big Ridge, South Toe and the testy long haul up Bee Stump Trail to the summit of Mt. Mitchell. During this period when “Rec” worked for the N.C. Game and Inland Fisheries division and so vigorously patrolled the area on horseback and on foot he estimated that he mast have made 1000 trlpsup to the top of Mt. Mitchell and back to his cabin. Knowing this mild-mannered man as he was, these long Journeys were not made for the sake of Just getting a trip behind him. He was known to quietly surprise a poacher by obviously comkig from nowhere and placing a hand on the ' i. intruder’s shoulder. Along the way he was known also to check on the brook trout he had planted and nurtured along in beautiful Laurel Branch. Visits with Mr. and Mrs. Rector during the past six years have been rewarding experiences. We shall miss this man as an Important key and reference to the fauna of this area. Verne Floyd Route 5, Burnsville * ~ V '-7 Dear Editor: I was surprised to learn from Terry Shankle’s letter that Yancey County spends less pm pupil on education than any other county in the state. Considering that North Carolina ranks 49th among the states In education, where does that put us? A couple of years ago our schools seemed to be moving ahead. What happened? When other departments of local government were carving out hefty budget increases, were the schools forgotten? As a citizen and taxpayer I would like to hear an official interpretation of these matters. Ernest Morgan Route 5, Burnsville Dear Editor: , I would like to publicly thank Senator Robert Swain for voting against the insurance Industry bill which lets rate hikes go into effect before they are approved by your Insurance Commissioner—Just like the utilities-type system. The bill also allows territorial classifications which mens higher rates for people living in cities, even though they have a safe driving record. Separate higher rates for Individuals insured through the Reinsurance Facility are what the insurance industry waits. Since the Insurance companies can choose who Is placed in the Facility, a driver with a perfect driving record can pay more just became the insurance company put him In the Facility. Separate rates are unfair! The State of Massachusetts last year changed to this territorial and separate rating system which caused rates to skyrocket. They are now trying to change back from the insurance mess they are in. The insurance industry used wall-to-wall lobbyists in the General Assembly to overcome the will of the people as expresed at the ballot box In my re-election. 1 am sure the people of your District will want to tiumk those who voted against this bad legislation which changed the evidence laws in favor of the insurance companies. Very truly yours, John Ingram N.C. Commissioner of Insurance ★ Dear Editor: xiJ >ti u! n *? oag 19E betweeo Burnsville and NC 80 turnoff to Micaville, I saw a sight which has continually haunted me.
