Consensus seemed to be that the sign should be impressively done, and should at least have a foundation of stone work. Sim plicity seemed to be the guide line—and further discussion of whether the entrance sign should bear the symbols of ser vice organizations is expected. Wilcox explained that he had taken it upon himself to se cure cost estimates from a Le noir sign company in order to help establish financial guide lines in regard to certain types of signs. He presented information on an interlocking metal sign, 8 x 24 feet, installed on creosote poles set in concrete. Mold ing. lettering and painting and lighting—including fixtures and timer—would cost as much as $550 per sign. Wilcox reported that the type of paint used for the lettering should last two years, and esti mated that repainting should run about $75. or $38 a year. Should the committee make a decision on this type of sign, Wilcox said the company will submit a color drawing of the proposed sign, and if decision is reached immediately, the signs could be erected by spring. Sawyer said representatives of another sign company will be in town this week to meet with the design and location committee so that more esti mates can be secured.

The clinic instruction and reheasals culminated in a concert in Moore Auditorium on Saturday evening. Director of the clinic was Loren Davidson, professor of voice at Louisiana State Uni versity, Baton Rouge, Louis iana. Mrs. Fletcher emphasized the importance of the visit: “The last visit of the blood mobile in Boone was in Octo ber,” she said, “so this will mark the first visit in 1966.“ Last year Watauga County missed its quota of 555 pints of blood by only seven, Mrs. Fletcher reported. She observed that demands for blood in Wa tauga County were heavier than usual during 1965. “There were seven instances of open heart surgery from this county last year” she said, “and each of these cases required from 15 to 30 pints of blood. That means we must exert every effort to meet our quota in order to provide blood for our own hospital as well as for servicemen.” Mrs. Fletcher said that col i lege students who are under 21 years of age and who plan to contribute should receive writ ten permission from their par ents.
