North Carolina Dance Theatre Performance
On With The Dance
‘‘On with the Dance”-the
North Carolina Dance Thea
tre, that is! The performance
of this professional troupe of
fifteen dancers will be held on
Saturday; October 1, 8:00
p.m. at Mountain Heritage
High School in Burnsville.
Tickets are available at the
door.
Dancing is an age-old
tradition in these hills. Why
“The Dance?” Is it educa
tional? Is it sheer fun? For
some who watch, it will be
“no sleep when youth and
pleasure meet.” For others,
“with the morning cool
reflection comes.” The Com
pany will, in fact perform a
South Toe Petitions
For Special Election
Recently a petition was
given to the Yancey County
Commissioners by South Toe
residents requesting that an
election be held concerning a
fire protection tax for the
South Toe Fire Protection
District (South Toe Town
ship). Money thus raised in
South Toe by the fire
protection tax would by law be
put in a special account to be
used only for fire protection
purposes in the South Toe
Township. It could not be
used for any other purpose
nor could it be used anywhere
else in the County. The fire
protection tax would enable
the South Toe Volunteer Fire
Department to be eligible for
a Farmers Home Administra
tion loan, which would be
used to improve the services
offered by the Fire Depart
ment.
At a public meeting held
on August 25, the Fire
dance called Reflections in
addition to Sunny Days,
Allegro Brillante, and Pas de
Quatre.
Dancing is something all
of us have done or love to do,
but “The Dance” is an art
requiring tremendous train
ing and skill. It is a poem that
moves before one’s eyes
speaking at different levels. It
coaxes a smile; it stirs delight;
it plumbs a sense of wonder
and frees a tear or two. If you
have not experienced The
Dance, here is your chance.
Moreover, your presence
at Saturday’s performance
and purchase of $3.500r $7.00
ticket enables the Toe River
Department said that the loan
money would be used as
follows:
1. Build a second fire
station at Busick to offer fire
protection to year around
residents as well as the two
large housing developments
under way nearby.
2. Purchase two new attack
pumpers. The present trucks
are slow as school buses and
have a difficult time handling
the many steep grades in
South Toe. The new trucks
would be fast, powerful, with
all wheel drive, and would
carry 1,000 gallons of water
each. One new truck and one
old truck would each be
stationed at Celo and Busick.
3. Start an Emergency
Medical Services program
which would work in coopera
tion with the Yancey County
Ambulance Service. The Fire
Dept, would not operate an
ambulance, but would have
EMT’s at the scene within a
few minutes to administer
basic life support until the
ambulance crew arrives.
This meeting was held to
inform South Toe residents of
the present status of the Fire
Department and of improve
ments in service which could
be made possible by a
low-interest FHA loan avail
able to established Fire
Depts. which have tax-based
support. It is estimated that
the tax rate would be 6.5%
per SIOO, starting in July
