It was a delightful spring day and four high school
girls skipped classes to go for a drive. After lunch they
reported to a teacher that their car had had a flat tire on
the way to school that morning. To their relief, she
smiled and said, "Girls, you missed a
test this morning. Please take seats apart from each
other and get out your notebooks."
When the girls were settled and waiting ex
pectantly, the teacher continued, "No talking. Now
write the answer to this question. 'Which tire was
flat?' "
Why Is Main Street
Fenced Off By Mill?
The Cooleemee Division of Burlington Industries
has ceased all operations, and yet, a fence remains
across Main Street. Ridiculous, isn't it?
In fact, the townspeople have never been able to
figure out just how the mill managed to get permission
to block off a state supported street, in the first place.
To outsiders just passing through, it's a peculiar
feeling and rather humerous to see a locked gate across
the Main Street of town. But to the irate citizens of
Cooleemee it is anything but funny.
This inconvenience has been tolerated long enough.
Bob Hoyle, president of the Cooleemee Industrial
Development Association, has talked with Burlington
officials on several occasions. "I've been told by Mr.
Barbee, vice president of Burlington," he said, "that
they were going to look into it and open it as soon as it
was practical."
The mille's excuse for putting up this fence several
years ago, was due to the hazards to motorists when the
big tractor trailer trucks were loading and unloading at
the warehouse.
Now that this is no longer a problem, maybe the
"iron curtain" (as the fence is often called) will soon
come down.
