Special Scene For Christmas Letter To The Editor vi; Dear Editor: I would like to take this means of expressing a tribute to Philip M. Thomas. , ; A little more than five years ago my four children and^i; moved back to Burnsville, my hometown. We came back .j, der tragic circumstances-the death of their father, nj-y-i, husband. Being in need of legal advice, I went to see PhilipH M. Thomas, Attorney. From that day to this, he has been myij legal advisor, confidant, tax consultant, and even sometit^es;^ my "hand slapper.” I have called him at all times, day night. Sometimes it was for a serious matter, sometiniiee,.^ frivolous. He treated each call the same, because he kne\y;^] was serious to me. He has cried with me and laughed wit4; me. Thank God for a man who can do both and still be a pro. That twinkle in his eye always dared me to give up. ■;ii, rj My children and I will miss him, but we know that Go^h must have needed him more.

Gudger explained that he’d spent Monday on a swing through the counties in the 11th Congressional District located east of Asheville and on Tuesday had worked his way through the counties in his district west of Asheville. Thursday’s trip through Madison, Yancey, Mitchell and Avery counties was the final leg of the campaign tour by bus. ,Photo by Harvey Blatz A few drops of rain makes a Western North Carolina woman nervous. A heavy downpour almost makes her panic. It isn’t until the rain stops that her fears-very real ones-subside. This woman is one of over 3600 victims of last Novem ber’s floods in the North Carolina mountains. Her house has been rebuilt and most of her possessions replaced. But all of the damages caused by the disaster were not that easily At Civic Center The world’s greatest family en tertainment, the Harlem Globetrotters, will be coming to Western North Carolina, for one game only on Tuesday, November 14, at the Asheville Civic Center. The Globetrotters, who are unquestionably the most popular sports team this side of the moon, have been seen by more than 82 million fans around the world. ‘^1^1 ‘Estate By Wanda Proffitt REALTOR INTERIOR SELLING TIPS Some wonder how the Trotters can continue the incredible pace which now spans over fifty years. But regardless of how they do it, the magic continues, and records continue to be set. Tickets for the event are now available at the Civic Center Box Office and all usual out-of-town outlets.

Burnsville 682-2146 Remember • when you are showing the inside of vour home to a prospec tive buyer, first im pressions are lasting and have an important effect on a potential sale. A clean, well-kept home shows a home that has had good care and has been properly main tained- Repaint the in terior if it needs it. but use neutral colors, if possible. An attractive, comfortable living room is a major attraction, but a sparkling kitchen will appeal to the lady of the house. Ifs the heart of any home, so keep it spotless. No dirty dishes. Women are also sensitive about bathrooms: keep them clean and orderly. Bedrooms are impor tant • arrange their fur nishings neatly. Shiny, clean windows not only are a great asset, but let sunlight in and brighten the entire atmosphere. Clean out the clutter in the closets, basement, and garage. And, if you have pets, clear them out too when showing.
