Work will begin shortly to completely rehabilitate the facility. A filtration and chlorination plant will be installed to keep the water sparkling and inviting. The ool will be sandblasted, repaired, painted and modified to accomodate the new equipment. The entire rea around the pool will have a facelifting so our youngsters will have a first class swim ming area which will be able to pass all the Board of Health requirements. The area ajoining the pool will get it's share of beautification. All the showers are to be tiled. The toilet facility will be modernized and all the interior will be Mulligan Stew A typical scene from the television series where the boys are leaning the im portance at a balanced diet. The 4432 Way leads to good health (4 vegetables and frails, 4 breads and cereals, 3 servings of milk, and 2 meat every day). Madison County youth in most second, third, and fourth grades are presently enrolled and participating in an educational nutrition program called "Mulligan Stew." Beginning in October of 1973, all eligible classes were contacted through the prospective teachers and at that time MO Madison County youth were enrolled. The nutrition series is designed as a television series with si i consecutive programs followed by classroom workbook sessions. Since the viewing stations carrying the programs are WFBC-TV Channel 4, Greenville, S. C. and WUNF educational TV Channel 13, Asheville, most schools are sing the nutrition in formation without the television series. The viewing is featured each Thursday at 1 p.m. running from February 7 through March 14. "Mulligan Stew" does a take-off on Mission Impossible when Wilbur Dowright brings assignments frecn "upstairs." Young actors do fun one-Uners and street interviews and cams slhrt poppets perform in Sesame Street at mosphere. There are also Interviews with astronauts ju4 . world-famous food authorities. The series ia designed to appeal to youth and teach the basics of good -BBtrttioa at the same time. J The "MuMgaa Stew" youth aatrttioa edacatioa ' program at cooperation with the U S.

Hot water will be available in the showers for the first time. Additional lighting will be installed for nighttime swimming. Tables, chairs and sunbathing lounges will be provided for those who wish to take in the sun. For the little children, swings, slides, monkey bars and other play equipment will be installed. The wading section of the pool will be blocked off with a wall to prevent the tiny tots from going into the deep end. Benches will also be installed so that parents will be able to sit at poolside and watch their youngsters. This is only part 1 of a plan to give both young and old a fine recreation facility. The second step in the develop ment will be turning the auditorium into an inside recreation hall. It will be equipped with many in teresting forms of Basketball Reporting Difficult Due to the early Tuesday noon deadline it is most dif ficult to publish basketball results or upcoming games. The News-Record is actually printed on Tuesday nights, before games are played. For instance, this issue is already printed when the Madison girls play Tuscola Tuesday night in the Haywood Invitational Tournament at Pisgah. Some readers wonder why that game's results will not be in this Thursday's issue. This may explain why the coverage is not better. This has been the case throughout the season but it could not be avoided. Results of the Tournament (both girls and boys) will be in next week's issue. Naturally, it is impossible to publish pairings sooner. "We regret this situation, one which cannot be avoided," Jim Story, editor, said.

"Supplies are larger than In 1973, but many more acres will be planted to corn, wheat, cotton, and other nitrogen users."
