Taking a look backward JUNE mo By VIRGINIA WHITE TRANSEAU HERTFORD GRAM MAR SCHOOL ALMOST A NEW STRUCTURE: Hert ford's new grammar school ? it is new, prac tically ? will be completed in the latter part of August or maybe around the mid' die of the month, E.E. Coleson, superintendent in charge of construction, said Monday. The gram mar school, built in 1905, is new throughout with the exception of the brick walls and some floor and ceiling timbers. It was gut ted and rebuilt from the ground up to the roof, but disappointing to many peo ple will be the news that not enough money is available to build the lower floor auditorium addition that had been hoped for. It is interesting to note that the 35 year-old building has seen three methods of heating. First, there was the hot-air-duct system, later coal stoves in each room, and then the steam heat.

As your activi ty level increases, your risk of heart disease will de crease. It's a fact. So, hap py jogging, Dad!

This Father's Day, give yourself a strong dose of "'get-in-shape" for your life. Take up a relatively in tense form of regular, three times-per-week exercise, Not only is the South one of the fastest-growing areas in the country, it now has seven out of the ten top energy-producing states in the nation. Needless to say, we at Southern Railway are happy about all this because each time the South grows, we grow, too. After all, who do you think carries the raw materials to the new plants that are part of this growth? And their finished goods to market? In large measure, we do. And, as tire South's population grows who do you think brings the things these people need? The cars, the carpets, the appliances, the clothing, the sporting goods and the food? Largely, we do. But, we're not growing just to keep up with the ever-increasing population. We're growing to be prepared for an even bigger South of the future. According to the federal government, the railroads will get an increase in freight volume of 143% by 1990. And the rail roads' share of market will go up by a big 24%. Will we get the lion's share of these in creases when they come? Maybe. But whatever happens, we're getting ready for them by expanding right now. We're putting in a new $43 million freight classification yard in North Carolina. We're adding to our microwave communication system, which is already the largest in the South. And we're laying double track where one used to be enough to handle the traffic in the area. So, even though we're growing right along with you, we're also growing ahead of you. Because when the demand is there, we want to be there, ready to serve.
