A truck owned by Carolina Marble and Tile Company of Winston-Salem rolled back ward on Highway 421 east Tues day, tearing out both walls of a brick building near the inter section of Highways 421 and 194. J. B. Clawson Jr., owner of the building which houses the Boone Tile & Heating Com pany, termed it a total loss. RELATED PICTURES ON PAGE TWO, SECTION B Boone firemen and policemen were called to the scene about 10 a. m., as it was feared fire would break out. Damages are said to total sev eral thousand dollars, since the 1962 Chevrolet truck and its cargo of tile and cement were also heavily damaged. The truck had just come down a long hill into Pcrkins ville, headed for Boone, when its transmission tore out. The driver, James Willie Lane, 39, of Winston-Salem, coasted past the building and rolled to a stop at the top of a small hill west of the building. When he applied the brakes, ' he discovered they were dam aged and would not hold. As the truck rolled backward, gaining momentum, Lane tried unsuc- i cessfully to ditch the truck, i and was forced to jump from 1 the cab, it was reported. 1 The truck slammed into the 1 brick structure. Fortunately no i one was in the building when i the truck hit. The wooden floor I broke under the truck’s weight | itid two apartments upstairs I were temporarily isolated when , thei bottom steps of a wooden J staircase were torn loose. The truck ripped through the west wall, rolled over materials inside the building and stopped in the east wail of the 211-foot nida homing. it * 8-Week Project Here On June 21 ..... ' >■'■■■ BY RACHEL RIVERS Programs of the Federal Of fice of Economic Opportunity Have readied into Watauga County this summer, benefitting 477 primary grade and pro schoolchildren. On June 21, the first day of the eight-week Head Start pro gram for pre-schoolers, 188 chil dren enrolled. Mrs. Dessa Mae Edmisten, director of the coun ty program, says 10 more have enrolled since then. A six-week summer session for second and third graders is also being con ducted under the auspices of the OEO. It is supervised by Howard Love, principal of Ma bel Elementary School. Two hundred eighty-nine children have enrolled for the session. WAMY Community Action,;; Inc., w.»>\ch serves Watauga, Avery, Mitchell and Yancey counties through the North Carolina Fund, has established the two programs in the four county area. In each county, the programs are run by the . Board of Education. Schools toww ; : la Head Start, 12 teachers mm;’M employed; la the summer ses sion, 16 teachers, These teachers share seven elementary school centers: Bethel, Cove Creek, Mabel, Valle Crucis, Green Valley, Park way and Blowing Rock. Boone Elementary is not used la the programs, Mrs. Edmistea says, because a requirement of OEO Is that the children must be served lunch. Appalachian State Teachers College is using the cafeteria and some of the classrooms in its summer work. However, of the 18 county buses rolling, two pass through Boone to take students to the Parkway center. Love and Mrs. Edmisten tra vel from school to school, watch ing the work of teachers and students. “We think the chil dren are very happy,” Hie com ments. “For one thing, they’re getting lota of individual atten tion. Every Head Start teacher has a neighborhood mother m an aide in the classroom. “Every summer session teach er has a neighborhood youth corps employee as a teacher’s aide. So far, the aides have been most effective. . . The program is pointing up the fact that we need more trained ad ults working with smaller groups at the primary level.” Both programs last from 8.30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. Mrs. Ed misten says she and the Head Start teachers attended a six day training period sponsored by the University of North Car olina on the Western Carolina College campus. The training began June 14. . Salaries Salaries for the teachers, teachers* aides, lunchroom per sonnel and management come from the Economic Opportunity Act. ■ Mrs. Edmisten states this la the Aral time In Watauga Coun ty that public school programs have been offered wihout a* least a fee for materials or lunch money being required from the students. WAMY sent a project proposal and budget to the Offic of Economic Op portunity, which, for the most part, was approved, she says, and within which budget the programs are Mw being car* (Continued on page three!
