Gardner-Webb Has New And Improved Heating Plant The results of all the ditch-digging and piping on the campus will soon be realized in the completion of Gardner- Webb’s new heating plant. With one of the most modern and completely equipped heating units in the state, we will have no more heating and hot water difficulties. I Heretofore, the college has relied on several small heating units in the various buildings of the campus. This has been both a financial and a maintenance liability. It is estimated that the fuel bill this year will be ' ' — $6,500 with the central heating plant, as against $13,500 last year under the old system. This represents a net saving per year of $7,000 on fuel and maintenance cost. In addition to the financial saving yearly in fuel costs the new plant will increase operational efficiency as well as the safety factors involved. The $140,000 debt on the heating plant will be met with the aid of churches and friends of the college. Already, many of the Baptist churches in the Gastonia, the Green River, the Kings Mountain, and the Sandy Run Association are in cluding the college heating plant in the regular church budget. The plant is being financed by the Wa chovia Bank and Trust Company over a five year period. It is hoped that $25,000 can be paid on the principal this year. A system of underground tunnels will carry the steam pipes and re turn lines to each building on the campus. Two Bison Two-Pass Tu bular boilers rated at 200 horse power each will generate the steam to heat the following buildings; the church, the James Webb Gardner Memorial Dormitory for boys (Deck er Hall), the O. I' morial Student Union Building, Dover Memorial Library, the Hug- gins-Curtis Dormitory, the Mac- Murry, the Suttle, the Hoey-An- thony, Padgett-Younge Dormitories for girls and the E. B. Hamrick Administration Building and Audi- The heating plant will be able to meet all the needs of the future ^ building plans. It will be ready for j use by December 1, 1951.

POSTAGE PERMIT NO. 2 Haggai And Post Conduct First Evangelist Rally Tom Haggai and Bob Post, young Southern Baptist evan gelistic team, visited the campus Sunday afternoon, October 21 for the first monthly Evangelistic Rally sponsored by the Baptist Student Union. Mr. Haggai, a graduate of North Greenville Junior College and former student at Furman Uni versity, preached on “Victorious j Christian Living.” Athough only , twenty years old, he has held cam- rl©Q]ft palgns in several Southern cities and in some of our larger churches.

Baptist Hour speaker. | gg g^gr so careful, O hand; This monthly service is a new ex- ; ^j-ite thou with a santified p campus. Its pur pose is to be a spiritual "pep rally” and serve as an insentive to great er Christian living and a greater Christian atmosphere on our cam pus. The success of such a venture depends on the interest of the stu dents, but is is hoped that this pro gram can be continued throughout the year. Next month’s speaker has not yet been selected, but will be an nounced at a later date. Youth Revival The Gardner-Webb campus re vival was held during the week of October 8 through 12. Inspiration al services were conducted each morning at 10:30 o’clock and each evening at 7:30 o’clock by Dr. H. H. Stembridge of Forest City. It was a series of spiritually up lifting services climaxed by an im pressive dedication service on Fri day. Truly God’s presence was felt in our revival. We feel grateful and priviledged to have had such a con secrated Christian as Dr. Stembridge to lead our worship during the week. Thy story shall live in the land For years in the doings of men. It shall echo in circles of light, Or lead the death of a soul. Give here but a message of right. For the heart of a child is a scroll. —Author Not Known. Mary Hes r Clar Millers Creek, N.
