Youth Speaks Out By Hal McSwain | b it little wonder that HmiiMs traveling through the Bi-counties area get Rich a bad Knpmrion of our area? In the filidst of the most beautiful Kpuntry anywhere we have [pick our stores, homes and fitter. What have we done to |Mtroy the beauty so freely has been done to aprove the conditions of the aids entering our towns. The Iter is getting deeper, the eeds are growing higher, the Mndoned buildings are ?coming broken-windowed yesores and we citizens are liming away from one civic Nponsibility that, upon nprovement, could benefit tot only the appearance of our owns but also the rapidy of conomic growth in the area. Picture a prospective buyer t a large piece of property rho plans to build a large kctory. He has narrowed his proposed building sites to two areas, oe in the tri-counties and the other in another part of the state. Both places meet the requirements of his industry: ample water, cheap power, and easy access to his market. His main concern now is his personnel. He wants the most productive conditions possible so he hires the best personnel available. But if the personnel aren't happy where they work, if the families don't adjust to the new community, the workers will naturally move away to a better environment. The way an, executive often judges a prospective sight is by looking at housing conditions, schools, businesses, and the conditio^ and appearance of the downtown area. Most communities in our area fall short in one or more of these areas. IClay Senior Citizen To IHold Crafts Sale ?

JONES FORD COMPANY HAYESVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA Ki'- ? - .v ? , - Jackets Find Opponents Tough - Andrews, Hiwassee Dam Are Victors The Hayesville Yellow Jackets visited the Wildcats at Andrews on January 28. Senior Forward Ronnie Martin bombed the nets for 26 points, but his performance was all for naught as Andrews administered a 73-42 thrashing to the Jackets. Martin was the only threat for Hayesville, while the Wildcats enjoyed balanced scoring from their starters. Martin collected 6 of the Jackets' 8 first quarter points, and 'the Wildcats led 18-8. Andrews took that margin and stretched it to 40-14 at the end of the first half. Hayesville struggled again in the third period as the Wildcats averaged a 25 point lead most of the time during that quarter. The 'Cats led 57-25 at the end of the third. Martin put on even more of a one-man-show in the final period, while popping the nets for 14 points. Dave Beal tossed in three points in the fourth; otherwise, Martin scored all of the Jackets' total in that quarter. Martin also hauled in 23 rebounds during the course of the game. Ron MacDowell was second in scoring for the Jackets with 4. It was that kind of night. Scoring: Martin 26; MacDowell 4; Barry Lunsford 3; Beal 3; Ray Noland 3; Cary Bracken 2; Ed Mayfield 1; Dennis Myers; Daryle McClure; Dave Bracken; Rex Ledford. Picture Daryle McClure and color him blue. Just the previous Friday against Swain, he set this season's single game scoring mark, only to have Ronnie Martin erase it with four points to spare. McClure's record was 22 points. Too bad, Daryle. You'll just have to be content with that new Chevelle. HAYESVILLE at HIAWASSEE January 31 The Hiawassee Dam Eagles used last-minute foul shots to take a 48-46 victory in the girls' game. They won the game despite a 30-point production by Junior Forward, Lois Coffey, the most by any Jacket this year, male or female. These teams had met once before, on .January 7, and the Eagles wop by one point. HayesiUle Hp as' ready to trim the Eagles' tailfeathers, but fell behind by the end of the first quarter. The Jackets trailed the Eagles 16-10 at that point. In the second period, Betty and Lois Coffey began to pull the Jackets closer to Hiawassee Dam. Lois Coffey tossed in a foul shot to cut the Eases' lead to one point, 16-17, with around 2 minutes left in the half. Then Clara Nelson got two foul shots to shove the Jackets ahead by one, 18-17. The quarter ended with Hayesville holding a 22-19 lead. Lois Coffey kept up the pace in the third period, ramming in 10 points. However, Urn's great drives were set up by Betty Coffey's skillful ball-handling while working the ball downcourt. Hayesville led at the end of the third, 34-30. The Jackets maintained their lead far into the final period. With one minute left, Hayesville led by 46-44, but the Eagles tied it up with a shot by Helen Bryant. Only a few seconds remained when Hiawassee Dam packed up the winning foul shots. Other Jackets who played well were Susan White and Connie Lunsford. Scoring: L. Coffey 30; B. Coffey 7; Nelson 7; Angie Kitchens 2; Lunsford; White; Mary Rogers; Janice Coker. The Yellow Jackets' boys team snapped back from their poor showing at Andrews and batted the Eagles into an overtime period before Hiawassee Dam won 66-65. Hiawassee Dam owns one of the top teams in the Non-Football Division of the SMC but it made no difference to the Jackets, who played one of their best games this year. Had there not been certain infractions that were mysteriously overlooked with only seconds left to play, I think the Jackets would have won. The complacent Eagles were shocked by the Jackets from the start and didn't recover until Hayesville had gained a 17-12 lead at the end of the first quarter. Ron MacDoweU's long set shots formed the foundation for the Jackets' first period attack. Dennis Myers came up with a "hot-hand" in the second stanza. Myers tossed in eight points to help Hayesville to a 32-25 lead at half-time. The Yellow Jackets continued their solid play into the second half, and at one point in the third quarter led by 10 points. Hayesville lead 45-43 at the end of the third and the score was knotted 62-all when the game went into Townson Funeral Home MRS. ALFRED LARSON ROBBINSVI L LE?
