85,000 SQUARE FEET erf library is going up on the site of
the former administration building. On the construction-jammed
campus of Appalachian State University, workmen on the library
are aiming for a September, 1968, completion date. Ned Trivette,
who directs business affairs at the university, says the decision
isn't final, but the existing library probably will bouse an academic
department , although it would be converted for book storage
if the need arose. The library will cost $1,800,000. (Staff photo)
Pioneers Lose To Morganton
Friday night, the Watauga
High School Pioneers took on
the Morganton Wildcats at
Morganton. The spirited Pion
eers could not overthrow the
determination of the Wildcats.
Early in the first quarter,
the Wildcats scored their first
touchdown on a 35-yard run
made by Fleming. This score
sparked life in the Wildcats,
but the Pioneers were able
to subdue them by allowing
two first downs in the first
half. In the fourth quarter, two
more touchdowns were scored,
but the Pioneers, refusing to
quit, blocked both kicks. Late
in the game the spirited Pion
eers scored to make the final
score Morganton 18, Watauga
6.
Appreciates Help Of
Fire Departments
TO THE EDITOR;
I would like to thank the mem
bers of the Boone and Blowing
Bock Volunteer Fire Depart
ments for coming out in the
middle of the night last week to
try to save our house. The
house is gone, to our great
sorrow, but the firemen were
able to keep the fire from
spreading over all the yard and
I am grateful. I would also like
to thank the men from REA who
came so quickly to set up a
temporary meter so that we
could have water at our cottage,
and Roby Coffey, who dis
covered that even though our
pump house roof was on fire
our pump could be saved, and
saved it, and who, with Edgar
Cooke's kind help, started the
water running at the cottage
again.
Very sincerely,
MRS. VIRGINIA BURGESS

Know The
Weather
When is the hurricane season?
Why do hurricans assail the
east coast almost exclusively?
Hurricanes usually begin in
late summer and they are un
likely after November. These
massive low pressure circular
storms usually originate in the
Gulf oi Mexico orCarribbeanin
this part of the world.
They move to the north and
finally to the northeast and blow
themselves out in the higher
latitudes. Because they almost
always drift to the east and do
not originate over Mexico or
seldom off Mexico's west coast
the western and central states do
not have to experience them.
It*s true these storms seem
to be moving northward in re
cent years, though it is too
early to determine whether this
trend will continue. They are
most dangerous along the coast
where they can push masses of
ocean water over the shore
line, and this-with better than
100 mile-an-hour winds often
accompanying them—can pro
luce a major disaster. A storm
is said to be a hurricane when
ts winds exceed 75 m. p. h.
Despite the efforts of con
gressmen and postal workers,
the railroad mail-sorting car is
losing out to the Zip Code.
Beginning September 16, most
'irst-class mail moving east or
west among major cities will
travel in bulk shipping by air.
