conducts in the local church
Such programs range from
one night to eight weeks in
length have covered such
topics as pastoral counseling,
leadership training, and
family life forums.
Suitable leadership is made
available to churches which
have asked for it. Usually, this
means that Miss Fitzgerald
will visit the church and assist
in various aspects of Christian
education, ranging from
finding qualified leaders to
conduct special studies to
enlisting the aid of college
students to serve internships
in the church.
The directors of missions in
the 14 Baptist associations in
Western North Carolina have
been extremely helpful to
Miss Fitzgerald in the
development of the Center.
"Without their cooperation
and support," she explains,
"the Center would not have
reached nearly as many
churches as it has."
Help has also been received
from the Baptist State Con
vention of North Carolina and
the Home Mission Board of the
Southern Baptist Convension.
They have provided both
guidance and financial aid for
new materials.
Amnnd future nlonc for the
> wvut v |/1W>1U ?v? mv
Center is a travelling library
which will visit individual
churches for a period of three
months Miss Fitzgerald will
also help each association in
the region start their own
resource program.
To help spread the word
about the Center and its
materials and programs, Miss
Fitzgerald will soon begin
publishing and distributing a
newsletter. Meanwhile,
anyone who wishes to utilize
the resources of the Center or
learn more about its ac
tivities, may contact Miss
Fitzgerald at writing to her in
care of the Center at the
college, or by calling the
Center at 704-689-1322.
HEAT SAVER
WASHINGTON (AP) ? Sav
ing up heat from summer
months to use as fuel to warm
the house in the winter is the
concept behind the Annual
Cycle Energy System (ACES)
house, the National Geographic
Society reports.
The ACES system, which has
been successfully tested in two
Southern homes, is based on a
basement-size tank of water
that fits under the house and
freezes during mid-winter. The
frozen water is then used to
cool the house during the sum
mer with a process that allows
the ice to melt by fall, provid
ing a reservoir of warm water
to give heat in winter.
An electrically-run heat pump
is an integral part of the sys
tem. It removes heat from the
air outdoors in the winter and
pumps it back in the summer.
A two-plane collision over
New York City on Dec. 16, 1960,
claimed the lives of 134 per
sons.

Elsewhere in this issue is a write-up of
the Christinas pageant which was suc
cessfully held last Friday and Saturday
nights despite the bone-chilling winds and
the temperatures in the teens... it was again
a beautiful presentation thanks to the brave
members of the cast who survived the
elements and did a great job... each person
in the pageant deserves congratulations...
the same is true of the director, the various
committees and the choir which was ex
cellent... last, but not least, the people who
worked behind the scenes deserve
congratulations... and... the spectators who
braved the weather are also to be admired.
Let's hope that the weather will be more
comfortable next year.
Last Tuesday night was one of the most
dangerous times I've ever driven from
Asheville to Marshall... leaving
Waynesville with the papers, I kept hearing
via radio to stay off Asheville streets if
possible since they were ice covered and
extremely slick... I took the advice and
headed home on U. S. 25-70, wily to discover
at least 15 cars marooned along the highway
from the Smoky Mountain Bridge to the
Newbridge intersection... it took me one
hour and 15 minutes to get to Marshall... I
"crept down" the mountain from Sander's
Court to the river not going faster than 10
miles per hour... fortunately, I made it
safely and I was mighty glad to reach j
Marshall, believe me.
Marshall's water supply has been on
and off, clear and muddy, for several days ?
due to draining the big reservoir so that a
floating cover can be installed... it's been
mighty inconvenient for many, including
the restaurants, schools, and other heavy
users of water... but Mayor Ponder says ]
that from all indications, things will be i
better in the next few days... let's hope so. ; I
