Greenway Baptist Church Is Now
Expanding F acilities To Fill Needs
By CLARK COX
Greenway Baptist Church, lo
cated cm Oeeoway Road just out
side of Boone, is undergoing a
start king new expansion in line
(with its growing membership.
The entrancewiay and lobby to
the small church will be torn out
scan, reported the Rev. C. 0.
Vanae, pastor. In its p4aoe, and
now under construction, will go
some $80,000 worth of additional
classroom, nursery, educational,
office and mestrctom facilities,
along with a beautifully strikk*
sanctuary wMch wfll seat ? 350
member congregation.
The old part of the chunch will
be used entirety tor wdnnatinmal
purposes, Rev. Mr. Vance aaM,
which means that eckicatianai fa
cilities possessed by the churob
will also be spacious enough to
handle 350 members.
"The architectunad style of the
new structure Is a marked de
parture from that of most church
es in this ana, particularly of
the Baptist denomination," Mr.
Vlanoe pointed out. "We hope that
its beauty will further ahm its
suitability as a place of wcr
rtip."
The titoowe (nature, according to
Rev. Vianoe, can give aitf a
small mfcting of the beauty oi the
project at its completion. A large
number of stained glass windows
wffl provide striking and suitable
decorations, as wiH a large stain
ed glass (representation of the
figure of Christ, which will be
placed m the sanctuary dinectly
behind the baptistry. The baptis
try may be covered when desired
by ? curtain, Rev. iMr. Vance
reported.
Construction of the church is
being undertaken by Ray Luther,
local contractor, under the super -
vision of ? Church BuDdiig Qcm
mittee chairmaned by Dr. Jack
Lawrence. Ralph Crump, of
Wiajtoo-Salem, was the architect.
Die cnnMruatom is expected to
be completed by the early part
of next year.
Firemen Douse Blaze
At Deep Gap Motel
Fire broke out at the Over
look Motel in Deep Gap Satur
day morning ahortly after 9
o'clock, cauaing fire and smoke
damage upwards of four thou
sand dollars, according to early
estimates.
Thanka to quick and effici
ent work by the Boone Fire De
partment, a further loaa of per
haps aa much aa $35,000 was
prevented. Firemen turned
booster hoses on the flames
and extinguished them shortly
after arriving on the scene.
Apparently, aaid Boone Fire
Department Chief R. D. Hod
ges, the fire was caused by
|some defect in the neon strip
lighting which ran around the
'edge of the motel building. The
aide of the building and inter
ior of the roof caught fire from
these signs, causing extensive
damage to wiring and damages
to some extent, either from
fire or smoke, in all 13 units
of the motel
The telephone line was burn
ed in two before Z. V. Furr,
owner and operator of the mo
tel. could summon the fire de
partment. The call then had to
be placed from a nearby resi
dence. Mr. and Mrs. Furr ex
pressed amazement at the
Boone Fire Department's act
ing so quickly in answer to the
emergency call.
Damage to the contents of
the motel units was held to a
minimum, Hodges said.
Mr. and Mrs. Furr, in grati
tude to the Fire Department
for their help, have offered to
contribute to the purchase of
some new equipment needed
by the department. They are
doing this even though the de
partment does not charge any
thing for fire calls outside the
Boone City limits.
A good dog is usually worth
twice his weight in "good"
friends.

ing a game should not ptay
