Groups Fighting
Nantahala Sale
File Appeal
RALEIGH - Agencies fight
ing the proposed sale of Nan
tahala Power and Light Co.'s
distribution lines filed an ap
peal Tuesday and asked that
It be heard next month In
Alamance Superior Court.
They said the State Utili
ties Commission order ap
proving the sale to Duke Power
Co., was ml awful and uncon
stitutional.
The opponents of the sale
said they requested that the
case be heard in Alamance
County because the State Su
preme Court calendar Is so
arranged that the high court
could hear any appeal from
there during die spring term
this year.
The Utilities Commission
recently granted Duke au
thority to buy the Nantahala
lines for $4 million. The de
cision left Nantahale with gen
erating fadltdes to continue
to sipply power to its par
ent firm, the Aluminum Co.
of America.
Fighting the order were the
counties of Swain and Chero
kee, the towns of Andrews,
Bryson City, Robbtnsvllle, and
Webster, the Five-County

Their appeal covered 45

Local Plant Layoffs
Direct Result Of
Longshoremen Strike
MURPHY ? The 25-day old
maritime strike of die Long
shoremen's Union dock work
ers that has paralyzed the
eastern and Gull ports of New
York, Norfolk, Charleston.
New Orleans, and Houston has
directly effected workers at
the Textured Yarn Co? Inc.,
plant at Peach tree.
The plant began a> lay off
workers Wednesday night,
Jan. 16. By Monday, Jan. 21,
only a skelton crew will be
maintained.
The layoffs were forced on
the company due to the can
cellations of end-of-month
orders from the plant's larg
est consumers.
The largest consumers of
textured nylon produced In the
Murphy plant are the Dal ton.
Ga.t area carpet mills. These
carpet mills fact shut-downs
throwing hundred out of work,
due to leek of Jute, an Import
ed fiber, from the East Indies,
and a necessary part of rug
making.
Stockpiles of the glossy
imported fiber have been ex
hausted and due to (he strike
of the dock workers, no ship
ments have been received In
this country since Dec. 23.
The far reaching extent of
(he strike was brought to the
attention of North Carolina
congressmen and senators,
the Governor, W. Prank For
syth. State Senator, and Her
man H. West, Cherokee County
Representative, in telegrams
Wednesday from Ronald Res
sel, manager of the Murphy
plant. Mr. Ressel said he
wanted to "Impress upon the
men In Washington and In Ral
eigh the extent of the strike."
Seventy - five workers are
effected at the Textured Yarn
Plant. Upon North Carolina
Employment Security laws,
these workers will receive
benefits depending on their
eligibility status.
The lay-off will reamln In
effect, according to Mr. Res
sel, until the strike Is set
tled.
The Longshoremen waited
ouc December 23 followtng an
eighty - day Taft-Hartley
"cooling off" period, during
which time no settlement was
reached.
Burlington Industries, Inc..
F on tana Mill* Division in Rob
binsvllle, is also affecsd
by the lack of )ute. This rug
manufacturing plant has also
started to lay off workers.
'Quality Education'
Helps Cherokee County
MURPHY-Cherokee Coun
ty, along with the rest of the
state, has been exposed to
"Quality Education" for over
a year now. In the day by day
application of this program,
"Quality Education" has
meant more to Cherokee
County that readily meets the
eye.
"Quality Education" mind
ed parents, students, and tea
chers wll remember when
Gov. Terry Sanford visited
Murphy on Wednesday, Nov.
IS, 1961, he said, "Quality
Education is hard to define.
We have no Instrument a> mea
sure It." He linked the basis
for Its need to a question pos
ed by President Kennedy -
"Can democracy carry on in
these times 7"
With "Quality Education"
we can demonstrate that we
can advance In science, send
man to the moon, crWt the
earth, and get Inside men's
minds."
The governor staled that
his purpose in coming to Mur
phy was to tell the people not
to expect the Job to be done In
Raleigh because If It Is going
to be done "you must do It
right here at home."
"We have given you the Idea,
It Is Important that you under
stand that something must be
done. We have the plan, the
program and the personnel.
How's the time to play a part
In North Carolina's aim for
quality education. We can lift
Cherokee, Clay, and Graham
counties. Western North car
counties, Western North Car
olina and North Carolina edu
cational standards to be
second to none. We will make
our contribution to our nat
ion's goal."
From die day of die gov
ernor's visit, the "Quality
Education" program began to
take shape In Cherokee
County.
Two years ago. In all three
of the school systems in this
county there was one special
educadon teacher. Today, the
three systems share five spe
cial educadon teachers.
These five teachers are the
results of the "Quality Edu
cadon" program. Three of the
teachers work with the men
tally retarded groips. The
other two teachers work In
speech therapy. One speech
therplst works in the county
unit and the other divides her
dme between Andrews and
Murphy.
Today, the three school
units are receiving twice as
much money per student for
library use. There has also
been an Increase In funds per
student for Instructional mat
erials.
Before, the school systems
received ,5Qf per student for
library books, magazines,
newspapers, and repairs to
books. Today, they receive
$1.00 per student.
In the days before "Quality
Education," the systems re
ceived $1.00 per student for
instructional supplies such as
drawing paper, construction
paper, writing papers, and
regular instructional supplies
used by the teacher. Today,
this amotmt is $1.50.
Had the state approplradons
remained as before, the three
Cherokee County 'school sys
tems would be short ten tea
chers they now have. Six tea
chers, alio ted on the basis of
one additional teacher for each
20 regularly alloted teacher,
and the four new special edu
cation teachers comprise the
additional ten teachers.
Since each unit has from
40 to 60 teachers, this means
Andrews has gained two, Mur
phy has gained two, and the
county has gained two.
All regular classroom tea
chers are employed five extra
days over and above the regu
lar 180 day (nine months and
one day), school term.
This additional five days
enables the schools to bring
the teachers in three days
before the school term
begins. The teachers are able
to prepare and plan for the
coming year. This enables
the systems to operate with
no loss of time with a full
schedule on the first day of
school.
The other two days are
used after the school term
for the completion of records
and report cards.
