Salisbury
Businessman
Plans Park
Salisbury George Miller,
a Salisbury businessman, has
started development of a 70-
acre historical and recreation
al park on the Yadkin River.
It will be on the Davidson
County side, just Upstream
from the old Highway 29
bridge.
The tract, which will con
tain 500 campsites, includes 17
acres of breastworks used by
Gen. Beauregard's troops who
aborted efforts of Stoneman's
Raiders to destroy the rail
trestle across the river.
Miller plans to retain the
criginal contour of the Civil
War battleground. The Con
federates repulsed Stoneman's
troops with cannon and rifle
fire. Apparently the engage
ment was bloodless, but the
Union troops were driven back
to Salisbury.

In DaNang Race
Lance Cpl. Gary R. Grubb,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Clifton
Grubb of Route 4, Mocksville,
won second place honors at
the Second Annual Memorial
Day Da Nang "500" race, with
a speed of almost 35 miles
per hour. Lance Cpl. Grubb
is with the Marines stationed
in Viet Nam.
Unlike the staaaide Indian
apolis "500", the Da Nang
"500" had only nine entries,
driving little more than "go
carts, made of junked parts,
pieced and welded together,
equipped with small engines
salvage from worn out wash
ing machines and discarded
motor scooters. The Marines
worked on these cars in off
duty time to prepare for the
race.
Utilizing a professional rac
ing start, where drivers run
to their cars, the drivers cir
cled the one eighth mile track
laps for the total one-and a
quarter mile race. A feature
of the race allowed pit crews
to push their cars over the
finish line, if necessary.
Although the winning
"stakes" were not as high
as the Indianapolis "500", to
the Marines of Maintenance
Bn., FLC, they were consid
erably higher the reason-all

drop in on him. This time the

went on their way and Bobby
