I 711 Report From The Office Of Town Manager The Chief of Police, Crait Slagle, and the Town Manager, at tended a regular meeting of the Criminal Justice Advisory Committee on Friday, March 23rd.The Committee acted on a recommendation from Mayor Slagle and elected Chief Slagle to serve on the Criminal Justice Advisory Committee. We would like to welcome Mrs. Lina Munday of Black Moun tain, to our staff at Town Hall. She has filled a secretarial position in our Police Department, as a result of the Emergency Employment Program. The Town has requested that additional “speed limit” signs and “children.playing” signs be erected on North Fork Road. The Department of Transportation has advised us that these signs will be put on their work list for placement as soon as possible. A large number of speeding cars due to an insufficient number of signs has been the cause for great concern to the residents of this area, especially those families with children. Hopefully these additional signs and a greater awareness of the hazards will reduce the speeding problem on North Fork Road. Mayor Slagle attended the monthly meeting of the Land of the Sky Regional Council in Asheville last Wednesday, the 21st of March, where she and the Council discussed, along with other business, the Black Mountain water problem. The delay in getting the fence up around the pool is due to the contractor having previous committments also they are waiting for footing for new bath house to be poured. The fence’s not being in place will give more space for workmen.

The members of the band pose as painters, roofers, driveway pavers, etc. Rural people and particularly the elderly, are prime targets for these people. Examples of home im provements that have been reported are paint that looks fine until the first rain washes most of ihe “Paint” off and roofs patched with burnt oil rather than tar.

It’s a great part of America. To me our flag stands for freedom, liberty, justice, brotherhood, and, most of all, love. The flag shows how people fought for liberty. Also, the colors of the flag stand for certain things. Red stands for the blood we shed in battle, white stands for freedom, and blue for liberty. The flag is wonderful. That’s why I love our flag. The thing of freedom, the thing of liberty, the thing of peace... My Flag! —Scott st An old legend says that if you stand a broom behind a door an unwanted guest will leave! CAUSE OF DEATH CHOKING!
