Bethel School Building
Is Nearing Completion
Bethel high school building is al.
most completed. This has been done
- by the WPA forces and is built out
I of native stone. According to statements
of school officials and other
competent judges, this is one of the
- best buildings in the whole country.
- It consists of ten class rooms, an of1
fice, a reading room, a library, a
raised auditorium, steam heat, a
sewerage system, and is wired for
electric lights. Three or four springs
- have been consolidated and piped
" into a reservoir which holds more
- than 5,000 gallons. This is thought
to he sufficient to furnish ample
supply of water, not only to furnish
' water for drinking, washing, etc.,
5 'but to furnish shower baths for the
5 athletic teams.
The old building was sold Monday.
It is thought that the proceeds may
1 be applied toward the construction
i of a gymnasium.
i Prom the class rooms, office and
t all other rooms, there is a direct entrance
into the auditorium, which
makes it one of the most convenient
s buildings imaginable.
* The county authorities spared ne
1 efforts in helping to put the program
of building the house across, but the
P. T. A. had much to do with com
. tinually informing the head authori
. ties ai to the actual needs of the
,. building and that the community
could furnish the lumber, rocks anc
men, which held the cost down to ?
minimum.

raunity. but after moving: to Boone J
he came back often, contributing j
both time and money to the church, i
Brother t>ax*is was a good hus- I
band and a devoted father to his
children. No sacrifice was too great
for him to make in the home. It was
always love and not duty that
prompted him.
His loyal and devoted wife, his j
children and grandchildren as other
friends and relatives grieve at his going.
But all feel happy in the belief
that hp is at r#?st with fJrvrl u'herf
there is no more suffering:, pain or j
death; no more sad partings, but that ;
he is watching and waiting for his
life's companion and children.
Brief remarks were then made by
his pastor, G. R. Stafford, by Rev.
Paul Townsend, pastor of the church
at Boone, and finally by hi3 life-long
friend, Rev. T. J. Houck. Brother
Houck called attention to his cheery
disposition, his unfailing kindness,
and his love for his family.
Hymns, "Nearer, My God, to
Thee," "Rock of Ages," "Jesus Lover
of Sly ouui." During the singing or '
these hymns the casket was opened j
and the friends and neighbors and i
the family viewed hLs mortal remains
