BLACKOUT A SUCCESS
Tryon was the quietest and
darkest it had been in over fifty
years. The Monday night Black
out from 10 to 10:30 was a com

in homes, no cars passed; not even
a train or bus. It was the stillness
of a country night brightened only

bugs, and one meteor that shot
across the sky from east to west.

a million.”

was because the town was not
big enough geographically, but
great a plenty in volunteer spirit.
