Peek, Superintendent Of Madison Schools, Is New Loop President By RICHARD MORRIS Citizen Sports Writer When a conference grows" too large in number it literally splits at the seams'. That's exactly what has happened to the Class A Sky line Conference and as a result Western North Carolina will have a new conference in the state sports -picture at the start of the 1959 football season. The infant circuit was born on to the sports scene Monday night when the westernmost members of the Skyline circuit voted to drop from llhat strong small school loop and to form the new Pisgah Con ference. Main purpose behind the form ing of the new conference, under conside ration for some time, was to give the area one more repre sentative in state playoffs and to cut down on travel fur teams mak ing up the loop. Making up tho new I'isgah loop are East Yancey, Cane River, Try on, Edneyville, Clyde, Mars Hill, Marshall, Walnut, Hot Springs and Rosman. All except Rosman were members of the Skyline. Left in the Skyline, which was formed in 1955 as an 11 school league and which grew to 17 eohoola late in 1958, are Glen Al pine, Drexel, NCSD, Bakersville, Spruce Pine, Old Fort and Cross- nore. One or two more schools are expected to be added to the loop in the next few months. Skyline Conference officials long had felt' that the loop was too big and that the area it cov ered was not getting enough rep resentation in the state playoffs hi view of the fact that some con ferences of "five" to "stj'htertibers had equal representation in state play. William W. Peek, superintend ent ef Madison County Schools, was elected president of the Pis gah Conference at the orgpaniza tional meeting at Bailey's Cafete ria in Ash evil Le Monday night. Other officers chosen were W. B. Hamilton, superintendent of Try on City Schools', vice president; and Bill Bennett, Mars Hill, secretary-treasurer. 'Making up the execubive com mittee are Perry Plemmons of Clyde, W. B. Nesbitt of Edney ville and Glenn Painter of Cane River. The Skyline, is expected to re group in the next few weeks. , Idaho started ttie policy of dropping beavers from planes in isolated regions, to build dams to regulate flow of streams.

Cut Courtesy Ashrville Citizen-Timrs HIGHWAY 25-70 IMPROVEMENT TABLED (EDITORIAL) We were profoundly shocked this week when we learned that the proposed improvement of US 70 north of the present section under construction (the Marshall By Pass) had been "tabled" or set aside by the State High way Commission. 'Much money has been spent in surveying; the proposed improvement between Marshall and Hot Springs and from many sources we have thought that it was a foregone con elusion that improvement on this section of highway was forthcoming in the near future. Plans were drawn, right-of-ways inspected and with the comp.lethrtrftW'fe'y-pSfl,- we believed that this important link would peijnprdvecL Anyone with any sense at all could see that this "high way SHOULD be improved since it is one of the main ar teries in our highway system.
