Develops New Buildings Mars Hill has had many ad ditions since the closing of school in June. There are some very at tractive homes going up; a new hardware store and various other buildings in the business section of town have been added. Four new houses have been built on the high school road. Opposite to the residence of Dean Lee the attractive homes of Mr. W. C. West and Mr. Bob Radford are nearing completion. Beyond them, opposite the school building, are two other new houses. One, a frame structure with white shingles, is the home of Mr. and Mrs. Walker Ford. The house adjacent to the Ford home belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Ashworth; it is of cinder block construction with steel window sashes. Neither of these two houses is quite com pleted yet. Up Main Street construction is progressing steadily on a brick house. This is the home of Mr. and Mrs. John R. Anderson and family. The dry goods and hardware store on Main Street which was originally Cody’s has been re modeled and under new ownership and management is now the Cox Department Store. Behind this new department store and almost directly opposite the Mars Hill Dry Cleaners has been erected a brick store. Fox and Sprinkle Hardware. Besides these new buildings there are several other houses in town and just outside the city limits on the Burnsville highway which are being constructed or re modeled. Adding, also, to the town’s busi ness are a new grocery store. Peek and Ingle, situated below the Hol combe Furniture Store, and a watch repair shop. The repair shop is located in the front section of the shoe repair shop, and is operat ed by Bill Rowe. United Nations Week Observed (Continued from Page 1) on the part of the major powers, which has been evident for many months and which has prevented the completion of even the organi zation of the United Nations. For example, the Security Council was to be provided with armed forces to carry out its decisions, and after three years of existence the Security Council is still without its proposed forces. The United States and Russia have not been able to agree on the composition and disposal of these forces. How ever, despite these failures to co operate, the fact that such an or ganization doe^ exist and the fact that all policies, of all nations, are subject to review by this body if they threaten world peace is a triumph of tremendous potentiali ties.
