Follow ing the business meeting, every one adjourned to attend various discussion groups. Of the seven groups that met, we had delegates present at the following discus sions: Latin week, Latin pro grams. the organization of the Latin club, a movie "Wings to Italy, " and Roman Banquet. W hen they were dismissed front these groups, they went to the Planetar ium for a program titled “Devils, Demons, and Stars." It told the history, size, and some of the sup erstitutions regarding the stars. Then they went to lunch. Because of a delay they did not get back to Memorial hall in time to he present for the afternoon program or the election and installation of officers. All this was presented to the club at its regular meeting Wednesday in the form of a very clever skit by the delegates who attended and Ted McCall and Car roll Norwood. , Last week mention was made of a poster contest on conservation. To the list of those who entered should be added Charles Blaine and Jerry Klein, who turned theirs in this past week. First prize for this contest is $75; second prize, $50; third prize, $25. If the first nrize-winner should be from Owen, the Student council will receive $25 for its participation and co operation. Also, last week an explanation of the purposes and such of the Beta club was given. As you know, the club’s main project is the “Warhorse Weekly" which was carried over from last year. Also carried over from last year are the club’s present members. They are Dennis Glass, Melba Riddle, Lyn da McGraw. Susan Ballard, Jane Bowness, Alice Stevens, Ted Mc Call, Jo Ann Byas. Doris Snypes, Peggy Cooley, Xonie Greene, Bren da Perkins, Nana Owenby, Joyce Riddle, Evelyn Johnson, Kaye Robinson, Wanda Bartlett, Lea Tiller, Miranda Young, Mary Noah, Bernice McElrath, Barbara Corbin, and Dorothy Lawrence. Daniel P. Gerber, president, 'aid construction of the warehouse will begin as soon as possible and is expected to be ready for occu pancy by the end of 1958. “Over all plans are being made for a complete warehouse and produc tion facility similar to our other plant locations,” Gerber said. Governor Hodges said he was in lormed that the long-range plans of the Gerber company contem plate tht. eventual construction of a production facility on the Bun combe county site similar to the multi-mlilion dollar production plant it built at Rochester, N. Y., j_n 1949, and where approximately HIP persons are now employed. Production facilities at the Bun combe plant, Gerber said, will be added from year to year as re quired. “We are indeed happy to wel come Gerber Products company to -North Carolina,” the Governor said. “We are particularly hap py over what the location of the new Gerber facility in western North Carolina will mean to the economy of the farmers in that section and the opportunities foi another market for the fruits and vegetables they grow.” The Governor expressed the hope that farmers in the area will grow quality fruits and vegetables so at to meet the requirements of the baby foods company and thus help speed to full production and cap acity the type of operation the Gerber company plans at its Bun combe county facility. The suc cess of this operation can increase agricultural income by millions oi dollars. The Music club held its monthly meeting last Monday at the Swan nanoa clubhouse. After Alice Stevens, president, had dispensed the business, and Joan Connet had led devotions, a Saint Patrick’s day program, planned by Melba Riddle and Peggy Cooley, was presented. Sarah Marcia Perley and Flo Barnhill began with twe songs: “Cockles and Mussels” and “My Wild Irish Rose.” Also on the program was a dance by Mary Kay Morgan, who was dressed in one of the plain majorette uni forms with green shamrocks on it In keeping with the theme was an Irish tune played by Peggy Cool ey' on a recorder, a small wind in strument. Craig Eller, an old member of the Music club, wa> also on hand to sing "Mothei Machree.” He was accompaniec by Annette Hall. The program was concluded by a game in whicl everyone participated.
