Toy Ignites Field When 'Chute’ Fails (Cont'd from page 1) cond stage of the rocket ignited, it was supposed to bum itse 1 f out as the nose cone floated to the ground via parachute. The parachute failed to open, and the rocket hit the ground while still flaming, setting fire to the tall grass in front of a va cant house. Fortunately, the rocket did not reach thewoded area in back of the house, or the house itself, or the fire could have swept over the mountainside. Grace Banks, Richard's mo ther and secretary of the Yan cey County Chamber of Com - meice says, "I know the toy is very popular with the boys right now and I want to alert parents to the possible danger involved. The toy is made by a reputable manufacturer, but as this accident proves, there is still the possibility of some thing going wrong. " "If this had been three or four teenagers shooting the rocket without any adults pre sent, " she continued, " the boys could have been seriously burned trying to put out the brush fire by themselves. As it was, even though my hus - band and I were out inthefieH with our two youngsters trying to stamp out the blaze within seconds after it started, it got completely out of control." The fire was seen by the ranger at the station tere abo\e Burnsville and the state fire fighters arrived at the scene even before the Burnsville Fire Department. Although the incident caus ed no injury and no serious pro perty damage, it bears think - ing about in terms of what might have happened.

Firemen Put Out Brush Fire Set By Toy School Board To Study Survey Recommendations (Cont'd from page 1) answer questions. The recom mendations are not necessarily binding on Yancey County School Board,who are free to make counter-proposals. Whatever planning deci - sions our county board makes affecting school location and building, must, in the end, receive endorsement from the State school planners. Other wise, Yancey County can not spend the $338,000 in capital outlay funds allocated to us from the 1963 school bond eleo tion. This large sum has lain idle and untouched, simply because we have failed to' make up our minds what we want to do with it. And in tie meantime the funds have been steadily losing their pure has ing power. In 1966 the State school planners made a Yancey Cou nty survey somewhat similar to the one just completed.

At the pre - sentation of that survey, Dr. Pierce urged our school board to make up their minds regard ing a county program, pointing out that the $338,000 was los ing its buying power at the rate of nearly one percent a month in the purchase <f school buildings. For the most part, the re - commendations of the earlier survey were not acted upon by our school board. the board then in office has been superceded by an entirely new slate, and it is understood that the new board is determined to resolve the problems. Following the hearing, it is the intention of The Ya n cey Record to print significant por tions of the survey.
