State Fair In Raliegh Friday The North Carolina State Fair will open its annual nine day run here Oct. 18 sporting a new exhibit hall, a second straight year of admission free entertainment and the same "thrills and spills" Tar Heel citizens have enjoyed for more than 100 years. As one of the nation's largest agricultural, in dustrial and educational expositions, the Fair offers nearly 11,000 exhibits prepared by Just under 3,000 exhibitors from all parts of the state.

Back in July of this year the Madison County Board of Education voted unanimously to bring a lawsuit against Republican Gov. Jim Holshouser in connection with the road controversy. School officials said failure of the Department of Tran sportation to build the roads scuttled when Holshouser put together his seven-year road plan forced them to devise an auxiliary busing system which is costing the county several thousand dollars a year. Clegg told Smith in a letter dated Sept. 26 that only a feasibility study was authorized by the old SHC for the extension of N. C. 213 from Marshall to N. C. 209 at Trust better known as the Mar shall to Spring Creek Road. In the memo, the planners said there is no east-west route in that area of Madison County between U. S. 25-70 and N. C. 209. "The only available access between Marshall and the Spring Creek valley and other parts of southwestern Madison County is via SR 1001 and N. C. 83 - both of which are narrow mountainous roads that are very indirect," the 1972 report stated. "The corridor studied in this report would result in a new Uovernor Kerr Scott Building, to be dedicated Oct. 24 at 3 p.m. Two special shows - "Hog Heaven" and "The Cotton Patch" - in the dome-shaped pavilions near Dorton Arena, will spotlight North Carolina's pork and cotton industries. In Dorton Arena and on the outdoor stage, thi Fair's half-million-pi us visitors can see the likes of Anita Bryant, Jerry Reed and Susan Raye, Roy Clark, Rty Stevens, Ken Curtis, the Dupont Marionettes, and the Spurrlows - all free.

This is especially important for school buses, since a new Madison County Consolidated High School is planned for a site on the U. S. 25-70 Marshall By-pass," the report said. "AD high schools in the county will not be combined in the new school initially due to travel time required for busing students," the planners wrote. "The Spring Creek High School is one of the existing schools that will have to remain open." That memo was written, and approved by the planning board of the SHC 13 days later, during the early months of Scott's final year in office. It is signed by L.J. Ward, project engineer; N.B. Benson, rural transportation engineer; and W.F. Caddell Jr., planning and research engineer. The planners further noted that "there is a need for an east-west route in this area of Madison County for future economic development and to aid school bus transportation to the new planned Madison High School..." "However, due to the ex pensive construction costs involved and low traffic service, the extension of N. C 213 does not appear justified at this time." be laughing and squealing amidst the bright lights and blaring music of spectacular rides and shows.
