Halftime: 26-28, Asheville School Communication Dear Seth: I recently read an article in the Bulletin regarding the demolish- ment of the Youth Center, which prompted me to write this letter. When we first moved to Tryon, our son, Peter, transferred from school in Wisconsin during his sophomore year to Tryon High School. At that time, he knew no one here. We were living at the Belvedere Apartments while we were house hunting. The Youth Center was situated right down the hill from us. It was very easy for Peter to go right down the hill and practically in the front door there. Most of his friendships started there and we all felt very fortunate in having a Youth Center here. I firmly believe that the youth in Tryon and the surrounding territory need a place to call their own or a home away from home. I would like to suggest that a drive for funds be started to rebuild the Youth Center. I am sure the caring residents of Tryon feel our youth need a recreational center to go to. For additional funds, they might have some projects to raise some money on their own. As it will belong to them, the more they have to do with the planning, decorating, and build ing, the more it will mean to ' them. Please count on me to help in any way that I can. Sincerely, Anne Brady The Cosmic Reporter “Sky Events in February’’ by Tim Linder There will be quite a few interesting sky events occuring during February. Most of these events will be very close passages of the moon to stars on planets. Here’s whats happening in February: FEBRUARY 2: Late this evening the moon will be a half a degree south of the star Regulus in the constellation of Leo. Look for Regulus and the moon low in the east at about 9 p.m. This same event will occur again on February 29th. FEBRUARY 3: Early this morning the moon will pass a half a degree south of the planet Jupiter. The moon and Jupiter will be located low in the west shortly before sunrise. FEBRUARY 4: Tonight the moon will be very close to Saturn. The moon should be within three tenths of a degree from Saturn when they both rise in the east at about 10 p.m. FEBRUARY 9: Last Quarter Moon. The moon is now half full in the morning sky. FEBRUARY 16: New Moon. The moon and the sun are now on the same side of the Earth and the moon cannot be seen. FEBRUARY 22: First Quarter Moon. The moon is now half full and is visible in the evening sky. At first quarter the moon sets about six hours after the sun. Also late in the evening on February 22nd the moon will be about a degree from the state Aldebaran in the constellation of Taurus. Look for the moon and Aldebaran very low over the western horizon at about 11:30 p.m. FEBRUARY 29: This evening the moon will pass less than a degree south of the star Regulus in the constellation of Leo. Look for Regulus and the moon well up in the east by 8 p.m. In reference to the moon-planet (or star) separations given above, a half a degree is equal to the apparant diameter of the full moon.

C. — Northwestern Financial Corpora tion directors today voted to increase the corporation’s quart erly dividend 20 percent, to 15 cents per share from the 12.5 cents paid in the prior quarter. The dividend is payable April 1, 1980, to shareholders of record March 14. Northwestern chairman Ben T. Craig noted this is the fourth consecutive year in which the corporation’s dividend has been raised and stated that since 1975 the dividend has been increased a total of 120 percent. Craig said Northwestern’s dividend payout over the last five years has been below industry averages and explained that this conservative posture reflected two major financial uncertainties overhanging Northwestern — a problem loan situation in Colorado and the company’s Federal income tax cases. “Now that these two issues have been settled,” he added, “we feel a higher dividend payout is appropriate for our company and our shareholders.” The Colorado loan problem was resolved in July 1978 and, earlier this month, Northwestern an nounced a tentative settlement of its tax cases with the U. S. Department of Justice. Craig said the combined effect of these two settlements was to place about $12 million of assets back on an earning basis for the first time since the early 1970s.
