  • A Legend In His Own Time Reuben B. Robertson of Asheville, honorary board ton's new $750,000 YMCA building—named in Robert- chairman of Champion Papers Inc., addresses the crowd son's honor—is formally dedicated. (Times Photo by which assembled yesterday to watch and listen as Can- Malcolm Gamble.) Reuben Robertson Y Dedicated J n Canton CANTON — A golden master key to the brand new Reuben B. Robertson Memorial YMCA building was presented during dedication ceremonies here yesterday to the man whose name the building bears. Some 2,500 persons listened as Dwight Thomson, board chairman of Champion Papers Inc., described the 86-year-old Robertson as "a man who in reality is a legend in his own time, a man who has given 60 years of his life to his company and 60 years to his beloved Western North Carolina." Robertson is honorary board chairman of Champion Papers. The occasion brought a flock of tributes, oral and written, to Robertson, whose gifts and lab ors made the $750,000 YMCA building possible. Tributes came from Gov. Dan K. Moore, former Secretary of Commerce and former N. C. Governor Luther H. Hodges, Gen. Lucius D. Clay (U. S. A. - Ret.), Sen. B. Everett Jordan. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale and J. Clinton Hawkins, chairman of the National Board of the YWCA. The dedicatory address was delivered by Karl R. Bendetsen of Hamilton, Ohio, president of Champion Papers. "During the 60-odd years since Mr. Robertson came to this area," Bendetsen said, "he has given unselfishly to further the interest of the people of this city. "Under his capable leadership and inspiration, Canton, Hay- wood County, and, of course, the Carolina division of Champion Papers, have grown and pros- pered together. "A visitor to Canton can readily observe the continued progress of this city. He notices a new telephone exchange, a new branch bank building, and sees a new savings and loan building under construction. He would soon become aware that a new high school is being built, scheduled to open its doors in September, 1966." Bendetsen said more building permits for residential and business construction were issued (Continued On Page Two) Gerald Wants To Enjoy Own Funeral • SPRINGFIELD. Ohio (AP^ —Gerald McKinney is looking forward to his funeral even though, he says, "some people look at me like I'm some kind of nut." McKinney, 42, has arranged to have his funeral Sunday, June 6, at the Scioto County Fairgrounds, near his home town of Minford in southern Ohio. "They've given us permission to use the grandstand," McKinney said. "We're going to have lots of music, all types. I want everyone to enjoy himself. The way I figure it, my friends and relatives can come to see me now while I can see them. If they don't come now, they can stay away when I'm dead." The Rev. Ray Borders has agreed to officiate. He is pastor of the Springfield Interde- it j:j„ u
