N. C. Dance Theater
Coming Here
The North Carolina Dance
Theater will appear here March
13th at 8:30 p m. at the Tryon
Fine Arts Center. The dance
group will also give an afternoon
performance at 2 o’clock for
students in the area.
The dance company began in
the late 1960s when Director
Robert Lindgren organized an
exceptionally talented group of
students at the North Carolina
School of the Arts to present
dance to the North Carolina
public school students.
In 1969 after a successful dance
tour by the company in Italy, the
Rockefeller Foundation provided
$25,000 to establish a new
professional dance company. The
company maintains high
performance standards by
touring with its own lighting,
sound and technical equipment
even its own floor.
Children’s Theater Festival, a
project of Tryon Community
Schools, is responsible for bring
ing the North Carolina Theater
here as a cultural offering to the
students and adults as well. Mrs
Lee Mueller, Program
Chairman, said that “we are
honored to have the Dance
Theater in Tryon and are grateful
for grants from the North
Carolina School of the Arts
Foundation and the Polk County
Community Foundation which
have made this engagement
possible.
Transportation Board
Allocates Remaining
$10 Million
RALEIGH — The North
Carolina Board of Transportation
allocated the last $10 million from
funds authorized by the State
Highway Bond Act of 1977 for
improvements to the state’s large
secondary road system here at its
February 12th meeting.
Polk County’s share of the $10
million allocation is $45,774,
based on a formula established
by the state legislature.
According to the formula, each
county receives a percentage of
the total funds available,
determined by the unpaved miles
of secondary roads in the county
in relationship to the total
mileage of unpaved secondary
roads in the state.
Polk County has 167.23 miles of
unpaved roads, while the total
mileage of unpaved state
maintained secondary roads in
North Carolina is 19,000.
The $300 million highway bond
act, approved in November 1977,
directed that $75 million would be
used to improve the state’s
secondary road system, while
$175 million was for
improvements to the primary
system and $50 million was for
the state’s urban road system.
In addition to the bond funds,
the state legislature appropriates
an annual amount for secondary
road improvements from the
state highway fund collections.
